A 'Reader's Point Of View［Under Revision × Hiatus］

Chapter 10

"

"That guy, he is my companion."

"We are life and death companions"

"

That guy, he left us again.
And again, we couldn't do a thing to stop him.

Everyone's feeling down
The children are crying everyday.
Even the adults can't hide their worried faces.

And I,
I can't help not to think about his well being.

Everytime he's far from us,
It's like our whole world stopped all together just because of that one person.
And this time, it feels like he won't be coming back.

It's nothing's new, he does that all the time.
But this time, it's different.

He did came back with us,
But there is something wrong.

It feels like someone did not managed to get off the subway with us that day.

But that's impossible, everyone's here with us right now.
No one's missing.

I told you, that guy, he is with us.
We all came back together.
No one was left behind, right?
Right?

But,
But what is this feeling?

tssss-

"Urgh"
A sudden hurtful high frequency sound rang into my ear.

This sound again,

it's been ringing into my ears since that day.

tssshhh-

"Stop.."
Some images I am not familiar with, was shown into my mind.

'The day when we lost him.'

tssshhkkk-

"Make it stop."
I covered my ear and my head together with my hand but it change nothing

Oh, That's right.

Memories that didn't belong to me flashes more quickly into my mind and the ringing worsen.

I- huh?

What is this memory?
When did this happen?

Why, why does this all seems so familiar,
like it all happened before?

Is this still the protagonist's, or is it my own memory?

I am not mistaken this time.

This is my own memory.

I remembered,

I now remember it all.

Someone did not get off the subway that day.

That guy,
he was the one whom I've been looking for.

His name was,

His name was,

"Kim Dokja."

And I,

And I,

"I am Yoo Joonghyuk."

I will find you.
I will take you back, no matter where you are,
who you are,
or what you become.

Mark my words

End.
