Yoo Jonghyuk's ■■

Oneshot

" How long has it been? "

Yoo Jonghyuk found himself sitting beside Kim Dok-ja's unconscious body. He never saw him so peaceful. The Kim Dok-Ja he knew was lying on the hospital bed, so vulnerable, so weak.

" You Fool…"

Yoo Jonghyuk gritted his teeth as he gripped the sheets of the hospital bed where Kim Dokja lay unconscious.

"Get up already, I'm already forgetting your annoying voice."

Despite his best attempts provoking Kim Dokja, as if that's going to do anything; Kim Dokja remains deep asleep.

Yoo Jonghyuk got up and left, clenching his pained heart. When will that idiot finally wake up? Yoo Jonghyuk doesn't want to believe he will, but there's a tiny spark buried deep in his heart, still hoping that maybe, maybe one day Kim Dokja will wake up and finally they can live in a big house together, just like what Kim Dokja wants.

" Liar, Kim Dokja you Liar."

Yoo Jonghyuk was desperate, if he's given another chance then he will destroy every worldline just to bring that idiot back.

He's willing to regress again and again, despite fearing what if Kim Dokja doesn't exist in his 1866th regression? 1867th? 1868th? …

He was scared, what if there will be no more Kim Dok-ja? Maybe he could travel to every worldline with the possibility that Kim Dokja's scattered soul existed and bring him back 100%?

Even with the endless amount of possibilities that the worldlines he visits Kim Dokja doesn't exists, he's willing to try. Everything to bring back that fool.

If only he was given a chance.. He could bring him back.

Yoo Jonghyuk remembered his 0th turn, before his life was turned upside down by the endless torture, by thousands regressions. He looks Happy.

"Is it because in that world, Kim Dokja existed? Is that why I was happy? "

He regressed 1863 times just to meet Demon King of Salvation – The Most Ancient Dream. Just to meet Kim Dokja, now here he is. He lost him again.

"Damn you Kim Dokja, I will definitely bring you back."

Days passed, Yoo Jonghyuk's visits became even more regular than Han Sooyung's. Jihye started to wonder if they're competing for the most visits.

Yoo Jonghyuk would spend 3 hours sitting beside Kim Dok-ja and leaving before Han Sooyung arrives.

He would just talk to Kim Dokja about the kids, about Biyoo, about everyone, maybe Kim Dokja can hear him. Afterall, Kim Dokja wouldn't let himself be in this state forever. Right?

Yoo Jonghyuk can only hope, he never felt so helpless, thousands of years he has always been the strongest, he doesn't need any companions, He can handle everything himself.

So this is how it feels being so powerless again.. He saved the world, but who would save him?

Yoo Jonghyuk clenched his fist, looking at Kim Dokja.

"You never fail to worry me Fool, wake up already."

One day, he stayed longer than usual. He was just looking at Kim Dokja, it was still that same unconscious face. How annoying.

He fell asleep, staring at Kim Dokja. He was annoyed, he was frustrated. He was angry, at Himself. He was the Protagonist , then why? Why couldn't he save him? He feels terrible, its been a while since he felt this way.

He slept his feelings away, he woke up feeling someone caressing his hair. Who was it? Was it Biyoo? Yoo Mi-ah? Who was carresing him so gently? He was confused, at the same time alarmed.

He raised his head, his eyes widened in disbelief. Kim Dok-ja was awake..? Since when?

"Joonghyuk-ah, Did you miss me that much?"

That fool, he's making fun of him. Yeah, this is Kim Dokja, the Kim Dokja he knew, that idiot, That Fool Kim Dokja.

Kim Dok-ja was caught offguard when Yoo Jonghyuk suddenly got up and embraced him tightly. Wasn't this a bit OOC? What happened to Yoo Jonghyuk while he was gone?

"You fool.. I missed you."

「 Your ■■ is Kim Dokja 」
