「Those Who Seek Solace」LCF x ORV

Chapter 8 - The Final Storytelling

"Tell me you fool. If I continue to regress, will I ever be able to see you again?"

Cale had watched them both in silence, as Kim Dokja continued to swallow his own sobs.

The redhead sighed before using another amount of probability for Kim Dokja, this way, Cale atleast wants to let Yoo Joonghyuk see his own sponsor for the first and last time.

[The constellation, 'Supreme Commander of Allied Forces' is using a large amount of probability on the constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation'.]

[The constellation, 'Demon King of Salvation' is incarnating!]

"Cale?!"

"Oh shut up and talk to him already." The redhead had said before pushing the latter towards Yoo Joonghyuk who was flabbergasted.

White coat fluttered in front of Yoo Joonghyuk as Kim Dokja swallowed his saliva and awkwardly waved, his eyes bloodshot from all the crying he did earlier.

「C ale Hen it us e is a fo ol.」

Cale crossed his arms to hide his fingers that were disappearing. Just like Kim Dokja, he also used his own limbs as a substitute for the probability he used.

「Bo th r ea lly ar e fo ols.」

Cale could see Kim Dokja being hugged in the screen in front of him, a small smile gracing the redhead's pale face as he sighed in contentment.

「Y ou ke ep giv in g, ye t yo u do n't ev e n wa nt to re c e ive.」

Kim Dokja continued to sob even after Yoo Joonghyuk had already faded, regressing as another worldine is being created and his memories being erased to continue a lifetime of 1864 times.

Cale knew Kim Dokja's fate, and it was more cruel than his own.

Because Kim Dokja will always be the Oldest Dream, to dream the world so that it can run normally while he was stuck inside the train to do so.

Eternal loneliness, and it somehow came to an end with Cale being the anomaly with him.

"Come here."

Cale spread his arms wide once he's sure that his fingers had already regenerated and looked at Kim Dokja.

Kim Dokja's eyes welled with tears as he gritted his own teeth before diving in Cale's arms to hug him.

Cale's right hand continued to run through Dokja's soft hair before humming, "I'm actually taller than you."

"Did you seriously have to say something at a time like this?"

Cale shrugged before he felt Kim Dokja lean more towards him, "Atleast it made you smile, didn't it?"

Kim Dokja clicked his own tongue but didn't refute further since it was true. Seeing that he had no plans of letting go, Cale guided the both of them in a subway seat so that they can get more comfortable.

"Hey Cale."

The said man hummed.

"Can you sing a song for me?"

The once closed eyes of the redhead shot open as he stared at Kim Dokja, which was a bad choice as he stared at the latter's doe-like eyes.

Kim Dokja knew that Cale is weak against children considering the state he's currently in. As more time passes, Dokja becomes more similar to the Oldest Dream he had first met in this subway train.

"I don't know how to sing."

['Lie Detection' has confirmed 'Cale Henituse's' words are false.]

Cale could feel a vein throb painfully somewhere in his temples.
