CHAPTER 24

I close my eyes as I fall deeper and deeper into the abyss...

I'm sorry Sica...

... ... ...

... ... ...

... ... ...

Twinggggggg

But... "huh?" my freefall stopped, What? Why?!

And as I looked up, I saw my wrist held up by a messily made knot, stucked to a corner of broken glass by a dark green scarf...

The one sica wore the first time she vanished...

Sica...

Even here she comes and saves me from ruin...

Tsk... I'm really a pabo.

Embarrased with my actions and with newfound determination, bit by bit I pulled myself up the piece of fabric, not minding the cuts "AHHH!!!" I get in clutching the remains of the glass steps, I hoisted myself up into the thick surface and breathe a sign of relief I can still continue on the remaining half of the flight of stairs.

"Ha... hah... Haaahhh..."

"Ha... hah... Haaahhh..."

"Ha... hah... Haaahhh..."

Shit that was close...

Thank you Sica, I'm sorry for being confused for a second there... Wait for me! I'm coming to get you!

With a more focused mind I continued to tread carefully over the glass staircase, body wounded and bleeding, a mixture of sweat and blood damping my torn up clothes. Trembling a bit from the agony screaming all over me, I can't say I never thought of just giving up and asking Sunny-ssi to take me back... but... if I was going back without Sica by my side... then might as well drain myself dead and dry on her world right?

Why was I so stupid to forget that?

With bloodied hands, I wiped tears off my face, staining it instead with a crimson smear... I'm really really sorry Sica...

Finally after a long arduous journey I reached the top...

One last step...

"Hahh... Oh My God... That was harsh... Damn at last!!! Where's Sica-"

"Yoah Buddy!"

"Huh?"

What now... Yuri?

"What are you doing here Taeng? Sica your "Sister", jeez you're one sneaky monkey you know that?!, isn't here"

"What?! What do you mean Yuri...?"

"What I meant to say is, seriously loving someone is a waste! Take for example my family situation at home! TSK... see, even look behind you!"

Behind me?

I turned my head and saw no more staircases in sight... all became shattered the moment I reached here...

"What?! But... But-But!!! I couldn't have crossed to here otherwise?!"

"That's what I'm trying to say buddy... In the end, when you wake up, after all your hard work, everything, every emotion invested, every moment spent, everything VANISHES just like that, and you're left with nothing but cuts, drained over and hurt"

"Sigh... so what do you say Taeng? Come; let's go back and just enjoy video games and-"

"But... Yuri..." I said removing a piece of shard on my side, "Ouch..." biting my lower lips and immediately pressing on the cut right after, trying to control the bleeding.
