RENEWAL (WARPED Book Two)

Epilogue

(3rd Person's PoV)

"I-I'm still...alive?" Jongsuk asked as he open his eyes.

"Yah! Don't say something sweet if you're going to leave me anyway!" Hayoung replied as she hugged him tightly.

"Erm...Milady? How come?" Jongsuk asked again.

"I've been saving your essence all this time so it's child's play for me to bring you back whenever I wish for it. Just think that I recovered your saved data or something," Trelos the Phoenix replied as he hovers in front of them all. "I also saved Midgardsormr's data so he's sleeping inside of you again until you need him. We're best friends, after all."

Jongsuk smirked. "You sure do use some strange terms, Trelos. Thank you," he said as he stood up, facing everyone. "I'm back...I guess?"

"You sure got us owned there earlier, Phoenix," Minsung commented. "Honestly, your acting is too convincing," he added while smiling.

"As I said before, my name's Hong Jong Suk now," Jongsuk replied. "Halmeoni gave me this name, believing that I'm going to live up to it in the future so wasting her effort is never an option for me in the first place," he explained while smiling.

"That Halmeoni is really amazing. I'm pretty sure of it," Minsung replied. "Anyway, see you all around," he replied as he waved everyone goodbye.

"Yah. Do you really think that I'd just let you leave?" Jiheon asked, tightly holding his hand.

"Just like Seraph, I don't deserve being with all of you since I betrayed your trust once," Minsung replied. "Let me atone for my sins by being alone this time."

"Seriously, I did that before. It just made me feel more pathetic," Jongsuk replied. "If you really want to atone for your sins, I think it would be better if you leave yourself to the mercy of those whom you offended before. That is, if these ladies will agree to it."

"Hmmm...well, Jongsuk Oppa did that penance before and it's pretty effective. What do you say, girls?" Saerom asked the rest.

"Our Jiheonie's pretty sad ever since so, I think it's alright," Nagyung replied. "So it's a Yes for me."

"Yes for me as well," Jisun added.

"So it's a Yes for everyone," Saerom commented after confirming the decision of the other girls. "We all decided to give you another chance so don't you dare slack off, Dongsaeng," she added while smiling.

"Nae, Sae Noona," Minsung replied, his voice cracking.

"Aigoo. You don't need to cry, Dongsaeng," Saerom said while patting Minsung's head, making me and the rest laugh while watching the scene.

"Wait. There's another issue that needs attention here," Hayoung suddenly said.

"Huh? What issue, Hanyang?" Gyuri asked.

"Will you please repeat what you said earlier, Jongsuk Oppa?" Hayoung said as she turned around to face me. "I mean, the words right before you died?" she added.

Hearing her say those words made the others look at me with full anticipation.

"My apologies, Milady but...it seems like my memories are foggy---" Jongsuk replied.

"Foggy, my arse. Don't believe him, Lady Hayoung. He's lying hahaha," Trelos replied while being glared at by Jongsuk.

"Minsung-ah, will you please lend me your sword?" Hayoung asked.

"Yah. I'm just kidding, you know. Hahaha," Jongsuk said defensively as he swallowed once. "I Love You, Song Hayoung," he said while smiling nervously.

"Oh, I see," Hayoung replied while smiling. "Don't worry. I love myself, too," she added, making everyone laugh.

"Yah! What kind of answer is that---" Jongsuk appealed.

*Smooch*

"I Love You, too, Hong Jongsuk...Oppa," Hayoung said, smiling amidst the cheering. "So that makes us a couple, right?" she asked.

"Let me think about it first," Jongsuk replied, earning himself a glare from Hayoung. "Just kidding," he added, hugging and kissing her passionately at the same time.

(Somewhere in the other part of the world...)

"Are you sure that you don't want to say goodbye to them?" Ursalia the Spirit Bear asked Hatori while he was walking in the middle of nowhere.

"It would be unfair for both Jisun Noona and Nagyung-ah if I stayed there and pretended as if nothing bad happened between me and them. And since the whole world's considerably safer now that the Seams have been closed on the other side, I don't think I'll be needed by them anytime soon," Hatori answered.

"Hmmm...how about the military as well as your entertainment work?" Ursalia asked.

"Don't worry. I already made the necessary arrangements before my departure. They'll be able to go on even without me," Hatori replied. "So right now, all I want to do is travel the whole world. That way, I'll be able to see it from another perspective. After all, I'm still immature."

"Well...you still have me anyway so don't worry, I'll be with you always," Ursalia answered.

"Thanks. I'll be counting on you from now on, then," Hatori answered as he resume walking the solitary place by himself.

- The End -

A/N: Another wrap, I guess?! I'll be resting for a while so I'll start writing the third book when I have free time again. You know, I'm also quite busy in real life so I cannot just prioritize writing here. Anyway, enjoy! :D
