Glancing at Seokhoon, Minhyuk gulps and continues as a tear trickles down his eye.

' We're in the third and final book now.... The author is almost done, all she has to draw and write....

Is to clean up the remaining loose ends of the remaining character' s endings. '

With his shaky eyes, Seokhoon jolts up and replies with a slightly raised voice.

' Endings...? What do you mean... We're all going to be erased? Die?..... Tell me clearly Lee Minhyuk!!!! '

Lee Minhyuk shakes his head, raising his hands to wipe the tears from his cheeks. He crosses eyes with Seokhoon and continues.

'The writer has already decided.....

This story will end only with the supporting characters living.....

Obviously, your father, Dr. Ha, Ms. Oh, Ms. Shim and Logan ssaem has died over the time skips that you've probably went through but.....

Cheon SeoJin will be the final main character to die in the last few pages of the final book.

Don't worry too much.... Because the writer has finally decided to let you and Rona be truly happy.

Whether it's on the stage and shadow, you'll be together until the writer truly ends this universe. '

Seokhoon massages his temples as he looks around in distraught.....

' Then.... My feelings for Rona?

Is this real? Or is this simply some artificial feeling the writer forced me to feel? '

Minhyuk smiles and claps his hands together.

' Well that....

You see.... If a character gains consciousness, you'll probably understand and know that certain feelings are scripted....

But for you Joo Seokhoon.... I'm glad to inform you, your feelings are real and sincere.

Now don't try to bother me, and only ask questions when I'm done, let me explain this and help you understand.

Eversince the writer created this universe, she had no intentions of letting you two end up together.

But due to public demand by the fans of this comic series, she had changed her mind....

Hence, you had tons of scenes with Rona.

Now, I've been observing each characters since the start of this world.

Fortunately, the writer quite favors me....

So she allowed me to have my ego, I act rude when it's the stage because the writer controls me but during the shadow.... When I'm not needed at all, I simply stay in the background and watch the messy plot unfold.

You.... Have already gained your ego since the start of this world, you just didn't realize it.

Your feelings for Rona are genuine, you truly fell in love with her and care for her. It is because of your feelings for her that's why you guys became each other's love interest in the stage.

But Rona.... Is a different story.'

Minhyuk gazes at Rona's picture and smiles at Seokhoon sadly.

' Bae Rona is a oblivious character..... She hasn't gained her ego at all.

Her feelings, lines and scenes are all scripted and staged by the writer.

In a way, I also pity her....

She doesn't have a choice and had been suffering since the first book. Bullied, shamed, killed and even now... orphaned.

Now if your asking me about her feelings for you.... I'll say they're genuine and sincere, Bae Rona will probably never gain her ego at all. So the feelings she has for you might be staged by the writer.... But It is also her only emotion as a character and person in this shitty world.

So don't feel too dejected, because however the plot unfolds.... You will be the only one she'll look at and love.....

But now that you've finally gained your ego. It's up to you if you'll just quietly live the remaining pages of your story or simply make another plot twist and then this world will shake again. '

Seokhoon had a hard time to accept everything Minhyuk had said. Time was running out, there were only a few pages left until the writer draws a time skip and then this universe will come to an end.

' What happens next? When this book is over.... Where do we go?'

Seokhoon looks at Minhyuk with hopeful eyes as he grips onto his phone.

Tilting his head and crossing his arms, Minhyuk replies.

'We go on a long sleep.... At least until if the writer decides to use us again in a new book.'

'Then me and Rona.....?'

Minhyuk's smile falters as he sympathetically patted his friend's shoulder.

'My advice for you right now.... Is to just spend all of the time you have left with Rona. Be it on stage or shadow, just stay beside her at least until your last page.

You'll never know when you'll meet her again.

That's one of the most painful truths I've learned as I became a conscious character..... That you can never fall in love or truly care for someone.

Because.... Eventually everything will come to an end, and you'll only be hurt and sad. '

Seokhoon slumps down on the sofa and groans.

How cruel it was..... Truly how cruel

For him to gain his ego as the book was coming to an end.

As he processed and accepted every bits of information Minhyuk had told him. Something sparked in Joo Seokhoon.

Looking up at the silent male across him, Seokhoon's eyes held a glint of determination.

'Lee Minhyuk.... Do you know where and when my last scene will be?'

Minhyuk smirks and nods, with a much playful and teasing voice. He replies

'Your last scene....

Will be on the Year 2026, 1 year from our current setting.

After a reunion with Rona, the writer plans to give you both a scene in Vienna.

At your apartment'

There was a pause as Minhyuk looks down and clasps his hands together with a grin.

'I'm presuming.... That would be yours and Rona's last page together.'

Seokhoon nods as he smiles and replies.

'I understand.....

Whether or not Rona gains her ego, It doesn't matter to me anymore.

I love her and will continue to only love her.

I'm more than willing to show her and spend all the last few lines I have with her.'

Standing up and taking the framed picture from Lee Minhyuk' s hands. Seokhoon smiles affectionately and strokes the female's picture.

'I've made a decision....

That whatever happens, I will accompany her and love her genuinely until the end of this universe.

She is after all.... The only character that's cared and sincerely loved me all throughout this chaotic world.

And just as she's suffered and protected me all this time.... I'll accompany and show her how much I love her until the writer decides to flip to the last page. '
