Episode 122

The moment Haon said those words, a corner of his heart began to tingle and he realized something.

‘… … I don’t want to break up.’

I like this universe.

At first, it was a scary and lonely place, but as I gradually became closer to new people, I also became closer to this universe.

From the moment Juyeol looked straight at me as a person named Eunhaon, the ground I was walking on felt familiar.

With Juyeol, I wanted to be with the people I met here and became precious to.

Even though he tried to ignore it and deny it, his mind wouldn’t change, and Ha-on instinctively covered his eyes and ears.

Because I was creating a dimensional gate with the intention of leaving this place someday.

‘Because I have a place to go back to. There are people waiting for me… … .’

As the strength in the hand holding the sleeve suddenly went away, Joo-yeol grabbed the hand that was about to fall.

“Where are you going?”

Haon looked up in surprise. He was looking at me with an expression of disbelief.

“To the universe I originally lived in… … .”

When I tried to answer again with difficulty, Joo-yeol’s face turned red with shock.

As the strength left his hand, it fell down along with Haon’s hand.

Haon looked at Juyeol, who was turning his eyes away from him as if he wanted to cry. His confused eyes, not knowing where to look, were looking down.

Likewise, Hunter asked with a surprised look, as if he had never expected such a situation.

“Is there a way back?”

“I haven’t finished it yet, but I’ve been steadily building the dimensional gate.”

“under.”

Haon flinched at Joo-yeol’s self-mocking laughter coming from beside him, then added quietly.

“It’s disposable, so don’t worry, it won’t work after I’m gone.”

“I see.”

The hunter nodded after thinking deeply.

“Then there’s no problem. Since Eunhaon is basically dead anyway, it wouldn’t be a problem if he suddenly disappeared.”

“Yes. Nothing… … .”

Haon glanced at Juyeol, trailing off. He was still staring off into space.

Then the hunter sighed and woke up after receiving a call.

“Wait here for a moment.”

For some reason, she hurriedly left the office, taking only her access card with her.

Ha-on suddenly felt the air in the office where he and Ju-yeol were left alone felt heavy.

As I just kept fidgeting, I became more and more anxious.

‘Should I apologize? What should I do? I feel like I should say something.’

Haon, who had been thinking, carefully opened his mouth.

“Lord─.”

“I was still preparing to leave.”

As soon as he did that, Juyeol turned to Haon.

“That, that… … .”

As Haon hesitated and stepped back, he took a step closer.

“Is that what you were going to say?”

“I, I didn’t mean to say it like this… … .”

Joo-yeol approached Ha-on quickly as he retreated, closing the distance between them.

“You’re going back to your childhood friend, Woo Joo-yeol?”

Ha-on, who finally stopped after his back was hit, ended up trapped between the bookshelf and the shelf.

He placed both hands on the bookshelf as if to tell her not to think about escaping.

Haon looked up at him, feeling uneasy.

“I’m sorry I kept the dimensional gate a secret from you. I didn’t know what would happen if no one believed I came from another dimension and thought I was a villain.”

“… … .”

A complex web of emotions covered Juyeol’s face.

He seemed angry, sad, and betrayed.

Haon continued speaking as if making excuses, unable to control his anxious feelings.

“When you believed that I came from another dimension… … . I thought you would naturally know that I wanted to return home, so I didn’t think to tell you separately.”

“So when I asked her to live together later, she said… … .”

Joo-yeol muttered as if he finally understood and then wiped his face. In Ha-on’s ‘later’, I wasn’t there in the first place.

When I found out that I was a different being from ‘Galaxy On’, I was so happy that I could jump for joy, but that’s why I was thinking about leaving for another universe.

“You too, a little bit for me… … .”

I thought you had feelings for me. Juyeol asked with a hurt expression, swallowing his words.

“Are you okay? The time you spent here was nothing to you?”

Ha-on shook his head with a sad expression at the sight.

“No way! Of course you’d miss it! You’d miss it so much.”

“… … But you’re still leaving.”

Joo-yeol took his hand off the bookshelf and took a step away.

Haon unconsciously reached out to grab him, but couldn’t bring himself to do so.

It seemed as if the universe was endlessly expanding around me and the heat.

“I heard there was a big earthquake when I left there. I want to know if people are okay and I want to go see where Parang is buried. Besides, everyone will think I’m dead and there are people who will obviously keep waiting… … .”

“Yes. The ‘space fever’ you were desperately looking for.”

Joo-yeol turned his back on Ha-on with a bitter smile.

‘You’re so stupid. You didn’t even like me from the beginning. You like that kid.’

The words I threw at myself felt like they were stabbing my heart. My feelings, which I thought had already hit rock bottom, plummeted into darkness.

“Juyeol-ah.”

Haon unconsciously approached him after seeing his trembling back.

It was the first time that his strong, broad back looked so pitiful.

The moment a small hand touches his back.

Joo-yeol suddenly turned around and grabbed Ha-on’s hand.

“No matter how much I pushed you away, you kept coming to me without me being able to come to my senses. And now you’re telling me to leave on your own? And now you’re chasing me again?”

He looked at Ha-on’s sobbing face and made an expression as if he was about to cry too.

“Please, let me make you feel better.”

“I… … . Me too, you… … .”

Haon couldn’t say any more.

The moment I let out these unfamiliar and difficult feelings, even to myself, it felt like something irreversible would happen.

So instead of speaking, she caressed Juyeol’s cheek. It was she who was crying, but strangely, it looked like he was crying.

Joo-yeol, startled, rubbed his face against Ha-on’s hand and muttered, “Damn.”

Haon couldn’t hold back the pain in his heart and shed tears.

I suddenly became afraid when I was in contact with Juyeol like this.

How long will it take for this feeling to fade? Will it even fade?

I felt like I would miss him just by looking at his shadow.

‘Blue. ‘Juyeol.’ What should I do?’

At that moment, tears fell and I bit my lips.

Haon suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Joo-yeol noticed that her expression had suddenly hardened and wiped away her tears as he asked.

“Why? Does it hurt? Is it because of the elixir?”

“Mana… … .”

Haon looked down at his hands. Something was wrong.

I felt like my mana was bubbling in response to something.

The Hunter returned as the office door flew open.

“Galaxy On.”

She hastily spread out some blueprints on the desk.

“Do you know what this is?”

Haon’s face turned pale in an instant as he looked at it.

“This, this is… …! Where on earth did you get this?”

“Bell and Chaser just found it in Bae An-jae’s office.”

“Huh? How is it… … there?”

“… … I secured the new recruits from Bae An Jae 5 and had some constructive conversations.”

“When did that happen!”

Ha-on became serious at Joo-yeol’s answer.

“If that guy let the heroes into Bae An-jae’s office, that means Bae An-jae wasn’t there right now. Is that right, Hunter?”

“Yes. As you said, I received a report that the office was empty.”

“We need to find the Bae An Jae right now. These are the blueprints for the dimensional gate.”

“Dimensional gate? Isn’t it too small for a person to move through?”

“It’s not that kind of dimensional gate.”

Haon shook his head and pointed to the blackened part of the blueprint.

The core that was supposed to be equipped with a dimensional prism was filled with dark energy.

Energy that makes up about 70% of the universe’s density. Yet, it is still shrouded in mystery.

“I don’t know if it’s possible, but from the schematics, it looks like they’re trying to open a window that connects to the Void Realm.”

“Then what happens?”

Haon recalled the moment when he attempted forced awakening and all his senses were directed to the void realm.

Mana before it breaks off into subatomic particles. Ultra-high energy cosmic radiation that travels through space at the speed of light.

It was clear that Bae An-jae, who had already experienced the transcendence of time and space in the Void Realm, coveted that power.

‘You’ve been planning this and collecting dark energy from there?’

Haon opened his mouth, rubbing his goosebump-covered arm.

“In simple terms, it would give you the power to use BB bullets like nuclear bombs.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

Hunter and Juyeol were shocked, but Haon continued, saying that it wasn’t the end.

“That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe it’s possible to reach out to other dimensions.”

“Are you saying that bastard Bae An-jae is trying to become some kind of god?”

“I don’t know if it’s possible on Earth with a human body, and I don’t know what would happen if this dimensional gate were to open.”

“Anyway, we have to stop this before it gets completed.”

Haon agreed with Hunter’s conclusion.

“That’s right. Even if it’s already completed, I don’t know if there’s enough energy to activate it─.”

Kuuung─.

At that moment, a loud noise rang out that I had never heard before. It was like the sound of a jet plane underwater.

It felt like the first pulse of something that shouldn’t wake up.

“… … !”

Ha-on, who was shocked, ran and opened the window wide.

A pillar of pitch-black energy connected the earth and the sky.
