MEMORIZE

Before I knew it, the sun set and the night fell. The city, once illuminated as a new frontier, has been almost cut off from users since the new continent "Atlanta" was attacked. It wasn't a ghost town, but it was a stagnant city where no further development could be expected. The two women were walking around the streets surrounded by this gentle silence.

"Yeah, it's been a while since I've been here.Did you break it here?

"Are you lost?"

"Oh, no, no! This city is originally complicated and dizzy...Oh, I found it!"

"Huh?"

Ansol ran so fast that the white robe fluttered and opened the tightly closed door vigorously. However, he was beaten in the face by the cloud-like dust and rolled up. The woman wearing the robe quietly entered the door past the thumping Ansol.

It was hard to say that the inside was neat even with empty words. Dust is piled up as if it hasn't been in human hands for a long time, and tables and chairs that can be seen from time to time are scattered randomly.

"Ugh. The stinky smell...Cough Cough Cough cough!

Ansol, who woke up, came in and coughed. His face didn't look very good, but his eyes were soon wet with melancholy.

"This is…."

"Yes, yes, it's the place where we've completed the user academy, and we've taken our first step in the world. It's an inn."

"An inn?"

"A place to sleep and eat. Her name is a gentle lady...Was it?

The woman nodded softly. And I looked around casually, and I was like,

"Where did he often go?"

"Eh, the third floor, the far right room. That's the suite my brother used to use, and I often went in to steal teacups.Oh, my God!

I climbed the stairs before I could finish speaking. Ahn Sol, who had been frustrated for a while, suddenly realized that she could not see the woman and sighed for a long time.

"Oh, my God. What's this?.”

This morning, Ansol, who was guided by Gehenna at the request of Kim Soo-hyun, was very excited. It wasn't natural that Gehenna was good, and I was worried that something might fall off. However, let alone rice cakes, he was serving as a guide for half a day.

'I'd like to see where he's been.’

Gehenna's request was both simple and not simple. The place that Kim Soo-hyun has been through means that he wants to visit places where he has mostly been active.

I was dumbfounded for a long time when I first heard it, but Ansol eventually became a forced Chunhyang. After moving over to the North Continent at the Warp Gate, he had to travel around the stars, including Monica's Clan House, Love House, the ancient magical city of Magia, Barbara's User Academy, and the inn at the beginning. And still there, traditionally leading to Muell's modest lady.

"Phew…."

With a persistent sigh, Ansol slowly climbed the stairs. Now that I've come all the way here, I don't want rice cake, but I really want to go back now.

"Huh?"

Soon after, when Ansol entered the third-floor suite, the woman sat quietly on a dirty table and looked around the room. Gesture lightly to see if you saw Ansol who came in late.

"Are you here now? Come on, sit down."

Quarl, the blazing fire lit up the dark room. As Ansol approached hesitantly, the woman took off her hood, which was covering her face and smiled. Then take something out of your arms and put it on the table. It was a clean record and a flag pen.

"It's almost time. Let me ask you one last thing.”

At the end of the day, Ansol felt both anticipation and anxiety. He was worried that he might enter the pitch-black forest. But Gehenna brought up an unexpected request.

"Write down for me.”

Tap the record on the table with the tip of your index finger.

"The, the writing?"

"Yeah, well, can I say a letter?"

"Why would I write you a letter....”

"I don't know your letters. Isn't it better to write it down and be easy to recognize?"

Ansol was convinced at once. There's nothing I can't do just because it's my last request. Ansol grabbed a collar pen and asked, pulling the record.

"How would you like it written?"

"Well, what do you usually write at the beginning of the letter?”

"…I Hate You."

"Hm?"

"No, I'm just kidding. It's just... to someone...This much?

"Okay. Then to Kim Soohyun. This would be better."

A quiet voice. Ansol began to make fun of his collar pen.

"Maybe by the time you see this letter."

"Probably, you...This letter...By the time I see it....”

"I, maybe after I go back."

"I'm. What?"

Stands, the flag pen has stopped. When Ansol looks up in surprise, Gehenna smiles gently.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ha, but....”

"But what. I'm sure you'll like it."

“…….”

"That's enough. Just write it down. Oh, don't write down what you just said."

"Well, I know that much."

After a while, only the sound of Gehenna's words and the sound of a rattling flag pen were left in the room.

About half an hour later, the light from the window on the third floor went out. And after a long time, the loose door opened and the two women walked out.

Gehenna swirled across the dark streets, as if she had done her business, and Ansol stared at the woman slowly moving away, a little faltering. However, he soon follows with a running step and opens his mouth carefully.

"I…."

“…….”

"Hey…."

“…….”

"Hey, hey!"

"Why are you doing this?"

It was only when I raised my crawling voice that the reaction returned. Ansol, who had hesitated for a long time, still looked around and opened his mouth.

"May I ask you a question?”

"I'll let you."

"My brother..."

"Hm?"

"Did you love Gehenna?”

“…….”

At that moment, Henna's unstoppable walk stopped. If you asked me if I loved Kim Soo-hyun, I wouldn't have hesitated even if I was embarrassed. But Ansol's question was the opposite.

"It's…."

Gehenna slowly shook her head, sweeping up her wavy lava-colored hair with both hands.

"…I don't know."

But as if to shake something off, he continues to talk with his hood pressed down strongly.

"But, by any chance....”

Suddenly, cloudy words heralded a turnaround.

"Just in case... when we are really meant to meet again....”

Gehenna looked a little lonely, looking back at the night sky.

"Then, I must ask."

…said spillingly.

After a while, after some time.

"Then you can ask now."

"Whoo-hoo, of course I am, but....”

At the quiet voice, Gehenna smiled softly, but sadly.

"…I'm afraid I'll shake my barely eaten heart."

*

No matter where I looked, I couldn't see Gehenna. It really was nowhere to be seen. It took quite a bit of time before we accepted that Gehenna had left. Apart from that, however, he could not stay still. I don't know how much time has passed, but I had to follow it. You have to think of a place for Gehenna to go.

Thinking so, I immediately stormed into Zhugel's quarters.

"Oh, my God! What a surprise!

He must have been awake even at dawn, but Zhugeol was jumping up and down. Coincidentally, I was changing my pants. The impression of Zhugel Haesol, who looks at me with bewildered eyes, slowly crumples.

"Ha. Yeah. I knew it one day. After all, you couldn't stand it and came to get drunk on me.”

"User Zhuge Hasol."

"Shut up, maiden hunter. I'm telling you in advance, but I'll do my best to resist. And even if your body is conquered, I won this.”

"Zigal Hasol."

Zhugel Haesol pretended to be heard, and boldly let his pants go.

I rushed right into it.

"Yeah, look. Look if you want to see it'Mom! Save me!Oh! Kim Soo-hyun raped me!

Zhugel Haesol's mouth closed and his face was close. As if I didn't really know this would happen, my eyes filled with fear stare at me. Recognizing the mistake, I lowered my hand and saw trembling lips.

"I'm sorry…. I'll never mess with you again, please forgive me.Isn't it too early to say this?"

Are you kidding me at this situation?

I'm a little sorry, but I wasn't in a position to joke.

"Transportability."

"…what?"

"Half a day north of the gate. A milestone for Atlanta. You know the coordinates, right?"

"Oh, I know."

"Use your transport capabilities there. Please."

“…….”

For a very short time Zhugel Haesol stared at me. But he soon nodded slightly, realizing that his expression was no joke.

"…Can I wear my pants?"

I waited without saying anything.

After a while, a group of round, blue lights began to gather from all directions with the sound of chanting spells. Inside, crazy tension built up at a tremendous rate. I hope and hope. Please, please, may Gehenna remain...!

Toong!

The familiar noise hit my ears with the feeling of my navel being pulled. At the same time, the view changed for an instant.

The cold wind grazes the flesh. We were in the middle of a red wasteland before we knew it. Zhugel Haal's transport capability has been properly activated.

My heart is burning with tension and nervousness. I turned my eyes straight and found the tower. The black tower stands out as if it is going to soar to the left.

And there.

There was no one.

"Oh…."

For an instant, arrogant thoughts crossed my mind.

Maybe Gehenna is trying to make fun of me. Maybe I didn't find it. Maybe I got the wrong place. Maybe it hasn't arrived yet. …or it's already gone….

At that moment, an idea flashed across my mind. At least if it's not the last time, there's still room for us to meet. You can prove that Gehenna didn't come here.

There is a way.

Third eye. Third eye. See the past.

There is a precedent of using it only once a long time ago. I used my ability to wonder what happened to the children in the rite of passage, but I almost ruptured my eyes just by looking at them for a second. Since then, I've vowed not to use it again, but now I'm not in a position to cover this and that.

I activated the third eye without any hesitation. Then, I looked at the standing tower and focused my whole mind.

After a while, a scene suddenly seeps into the foresight.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The first thing I saw was a fishing tower that was glowing enough to light up the sky, not black as I just saw it. Then, when I looked at the woman standing in front of the tower, I felt my heart drop.

I'm sorry...I'm sorry...

Henna soothes someone in her arms with her sad eyes.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

And Su-na, who cries with all her might that she's never seen since birth.

- Please, please....

Yikes! Yikes! Avaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

- Sunah, Sunah. - Sunah. No more….

Uh-huh. Uh-huh! Abu, Abaaah...!

Suna struggles to escape Gehenna's arms. He even shakes his hands like he's looking for someone. Gehenna stands in front of the tower, with a very troubled face, but holding Suna close together.

The moment before the brilliant light surrounded Gehenna and Suna.

- …….

“!”

Gehenna, looked back for a second.

It was a momentary moment, but the fond eyes that were hidden by the light were clearly staring at me.

"Gehen..."

It was that moment.

It's so loud!

It was cluttered like a TV screen with a broken view, and a stabbing pain suddenly hit the eye. For an instant, a miscellaneous signal flashes and a burning energy rises. The duration is already over. Then, I sat down with my eyes clasped by the mysterious lethargy that came.

"Clan Road!"

Zhugel Haesol tried to help me, but he just lay down.

I've seen the worst past, the worst I've ever wanted to think about.

I don't have any, no thoughts.

"Ha, ha, ha..."

There was nothing but a despondent laugh.

*

How long has it been?

"K, Clan Lord. It's my last name. I'm here.”

When I came to my senses, I found myself back in the city. I don't know how I got back. I was dragged by Jegel Haesol's hand and walked somehow, but my mind was full enough to not care about other things.

I don't understand.

Indeed, I don't understand at all.

I knew Gehenna would go back when I spoke at the conference. I just didn't say it clearly, but I said it with that nuance. And I was, anyway, going to send it. But this isn't it.

At least I knew I'd talk. I knew I'd say at least one word before I left. I thought there would be some time to prepare for the breakup. But who would have expected that he would go back with a hint, even though he didn't think so.

Gehenna... Why on earth did she do that?

I feel heavy again when I think of Suna looking for me while crying. The last time I looked back, Henna's eyes didn't disappear and kept glaring. This wasn't the breakup I thought at all.

It was only when I returned to the Oval Office on the fourth floor that I felt the reality. The bed where Gehenna was lying down last night, whispering and fooling around until they fell asleep, is now empty.

It's like I'm dreaming. It's not that I don't, but I hope this whole situation is a dream when I open my eyes. Then there would be Henna sleeping comfortably or seeing me off with a sweet smile hugging Suna.

My head feels dizzy. I feel dizzy on my forehead. Over the terrace I glanced at, I stumbled and collapsed into a desk chair.

After sitting still for a long time, I suddenly thought and opened the drawer. There are two gold flowing necklaces neatly arranged in the drawer. I bit my lower lip without realizing it. The necklace I was going to give as a farewell gift. It's not a good thing, but I hid it while secretly making it....

"Was that for Gehenna?”

My body suddenly froze. I looked around without realizing it. My brother was looking at me leaning obliquely against the wall. It seems that he didn't feel any presence because he didn't pay attention. Or he came in before me and was waiting. Either way, I didn't notice.

"Brother?"

The voice was a little hoarse even when I heard it myself.

"It looks like we haven't met.”

My brother spoke with a sigh and began to walk slowly.

"So, did you enjoy your vacation?"

"Vacation?"

"Bad boy, you didn't even think of me, did you?”

"Tongue, brother?"

I felt strange. It is true that he has completely forgotten his brother. But my brother's tone sounded like he knew everything. How is this happening?

"How did you...?”

"When you come back from the expedition...I met her while she was fainting. The shadow queen asked for help.”

"What?"

"Did you happen to notice anything strange while staying with Gehenna? For example, the atmosphere."

The brother who said so began to talk in a calm voice.

After some time, I felt gloomy when my brother's explanation was over.

"So you didn't get close, you pretended to be close?"

"Yes, I asked for it. Let you rest until you get back."

"Why…."

"It was inevitable, but everyone was considerate of you. …well, I'll have to be prepared to take care of it's

I took out the beginning of the year in a disturbed mood and slipped out like always. Just as I was about to say I'm not in the mood for a prank, I bite what my brother took from me and light it up. I've never seen my brother burn the beginning of the year.

"Whoo... well, I understand."

"Understand…?"

My brother nodded his head, sucking deeply into the beginning of the year.

"In terms of the number of years…It's been 15 years."

"Fifteen years?"

"You've been running all this time. It's not a year, it's been 15 years. You can take a few days off. Don't you think so?"

"It's…."

"If you know what's going on, no one can blame you."

“…….”

My head sank naturally at the comforting voice. Soft touch disrupts hair.

"Let me ask you one question."

Suddenly, my brother's voice suddenly subsided. I could feel the glance at me, but I didn't raise my eyes on purpose.

"Your plan is... Is it still in effect?"

"Plan? …Ah."

I let out a reflexive exclamation. A cold stream of reason raises its head in the head, which had been devastated.

The plan would mean a return. Of course it is valid. Although the word "effective" is funny, the idea of wanting to go back hasn't disappeared yet. It's definitely alive.

I was a small fist.

"I see, then."

Suddenly

"Suhyun, no more....”

I thought I knew what my brother was going to say.

"…I think it's better to wake up from a dream."

A low whisper pierced my ear sharply. The breath that I had held back came out, and the half of the year was stuck in the gap between my mouth. I could only raise my eyes.

My brother's face,

"Now, you're gonna get back to reality, right?”

Like a lighthouse discovered by a ship that met the wind and waves in the open sea, it was colored with bright sunlight.
