We Are Supposed To be The Same

Can I Run Away?

"You know you won't get away with it right?"

Eruhaben spared no mercy as he knew Cale would just avoid the topic the more pressure given but gave no shit anyway. The dragons had their eyes glued on the man in the mirror while the old butler had put his hands on Rok Soo's shoulder.

'Umm...Rok Soo? Help?'

'Bold of you to assume I can?'

Cale and Rok Soo had pleading eyes as they looked at each other. They know they could not run away given the circumstances. Rok Soo, who was still in his pajamas was escorted back to his bed by Ron. The two redheads could only shiver as they felt a cold chill down their spine. 

Rasheel and Dodori sat down on the cushion near the bed and watch the drama unfold while Mila decided to stand beside Eruhaben.

'Should I just disappear into the mirror and dump this to Rok Soo?' Cale thought to himself, scared of blurring out his thoughts to the elder one.

"I see that Raon knows of this but chose not to tell us? I can only assume the children knows but you did not want the others to know." said Sheritt with a concerned gaze.

'If you were worried then don't tell anyone!'

Cale can only cried internally. He then looked back at those waiting for his explanation and gave them a nonchalant shrug. This made Eruhaben angry and wanted to smack the young man in the back of his head.

"Should I introduce myself first?"

The rest of them turned to look at Rok Soo. Cale felt thankful that Rok Soo took the lead, but he can't help feeling little worried. His eyes were shaking as he looked at Rok Soo.

Rok Soo knew why Cale was hesitant but he also knew that the people around him will love Cale no matter what. As for Ron, he doubt that the old man and his son even cared. If they really do, why would they chose to follow a punk who they just met instead of staying by his side?

"First of all, I was Cale Henituse."

Cale only stayed quiet while Rok Soo continued.

"I am now known as Kim Rok Soo."

Ron and Eruhaben had their eyebrows raised. They have seen the 20-year-old Kim Rok Soo from the other dimension through the cintamani of the Electic Eel. The cintamani broke during the Sealed God test in the temple, so how?

And by he was Cale Henituse, what does he mean?

"I am 44 years old now."

"Hm?"

This time, the butler and the gold dragon could not help but question. The last time they saw each other was only months ago, but it had gone so fast in their timeline? Well, only certain people of the group knows of the other dimension.

Poor Rok Soo who was explaining, did not know they had met with the young Rok Soo. He only thought that they were angry and confused. And so, he continued on.

"I was born here in the Roan Kingdom as the firstborn of Count Henituse of the Henituse territory. My mother died when I was eight and Ron took care of me most of the time after that."

Rok Soo glanced at Ron sideways, knowing that the old butler is listening.

"My father, Deruth Henituse married another woman and also took in her son not long after mother passed away. Though I can't blame him for it. I started distancing myself from them and I had a trashy behavior as you can see."

Ron remember the day the count brought in a brown-haired woman and a young boy behind her. He saw how devastated the eight-year-old Cale was but Cale forced himself to smile while giving blessings to his father's new marriage. 

Isn't this weird? This is exactly the same neglected young puppy he raised.

"I started drinking at the age of fifteen... it's kind of awkward to talk shit about myself but whatever. And at the age of eighteen I met a screwball, that's where things went wrong."

"The young master-nim met a screwball?" 

Ron could not remember every detail of his young master, but he knew that almost everyone he met and took in are strong and powerful. Cale could only look at Rok Soo with pity.

"Everyone you met is a screwball HAHAah! Which one are you talking about?"

Rasheel snorted. It seems like the grey dragon has forgotten that the everyone he said there included himself.

"His name is Choi Han."

"PFFFF-"

"Hoo?"

"Swordmaster-nim?"

"Mn..."

Rasheel could no longer hold back his laughter. Ron looked at Rok Soo with interest. The room liven up a bit when they hear the young redhead on the bed addressing his loyal subordinate that way.   

"Before I continue, may I ask of you to not ask-"

Coughs coughs coughs

Rok Soo's fever had yet to subside but they were not letting this matter go easily. Ron help to pat his back while handling another cup of lemon tea.

'HA! Sucks to be you.' 

Cale smirked while looking at the poor victim of lemon tea. Ron noticed Cale's stare and asked if he wants some too. Cale only cuss in his head while stepping back.

"You want us to listen to all of it without asking questions?"

Eruhaben asked while taking a seat on the side of the bed. This gave Rok Soo goosebumps but nodded anyway.

"Fine, but before that, if you're Cale then who is that?"

Eruhaben pointed at the mirror. He looked as if he would break the mirror if he did not get the answer he wants. Judging from his face, he will not listen to any bullshit today. 

"Like I said, I was Cale but now my name is Rok Soo." said Rok Soo.

"And I was once Kim Rok Soo, but now I am Cale Henituse."

The dragons then looked back and forth. This is Cale and that is Rok Soo? No wait, that is Cale and this is Rok Soo.

"I'm sorry to break it to you but..."

Rok Soo continued with his word as Dodori tilted his head.

"I'm hungry."

'The audacity. Ha ha. That's how you act like trash.'

Rok Soo then gave them a smile before going to the washroom to start off his day. Those in the room could only watch him go while Eruhaben clicked his tongue.

'Wise decision indeed.'

Cale agreed with Rok Soo as the both of them disappeared from their sight
