Why Won't You Let Me Slack!?

Chapter 56

Placing her hands on her knees as she watched Kim Dokja stir the terrible food, Han Sooyoung spoke, "By the way, was Yoo Joonghyuk such a bad person in Ways of Survival?"

Having been just about to feed the regressor a spoonful of the smelly liquid, he turned to look up at her with a look of disbelief.

"...What?"

"It was a thought that I had. Didn't Yoo Joonghyuk save a lot of people and do good deeds? Of course, he is like a psychopath but isn't he moving for the people? He is fighting to save the world. I don't want to admit it because I am a bad person."

Thinking about it, Han Sooyoung's words weren't wrong. At this, Kim Dokja laughed and said, "Your defense of Yoo Joonghyuk is energetic because you haven't read as far as me."

"But that is that and this is this. You can't judge people by only looking at one side."

It was an unexpected conversation as Kim Dokja looked up at Han Sooyoung for a while.

Han Sooyoung was smiling coldly.

"No matter how much you claim that my work is plagiarism, it has actually never been affected by Ways of Survival."

"...You almost convinced me without saying that. It is a real pity."

While he said this aloud, his mind became complicated.

What type of person was Yoo Joonghyuk?

Could he really say that he was familiar with the existence of Yoo Joonghyuk?

'I was able to confidently answer it until a while ago. I was the only reader who read all of Ways of Survival.'

But even while thinking this, Kim Dokja felt that some of his answers were being diluted in the soup.

'Did I know Yoo Joonghyuk at all?'

Not long after that, the soup started boiling.

"You're acting like a wife"

"Do you want to do this?"

"I don't want to."

Watching the two adults as they fought over the unconscious Yoo Joonghyuk, Cale pondered over the words of their previous conversation.

'Have I been only looking at one side..?'

As much as he disliked the thought, Cale knew there was more to Joonghyuks' disappearance several years ago than what they'd like to believe.

The question was what.

'Putting together the fact that Dad disappeared seven years ago and the conversation hyung had with him during the Theater Dungeon, the only logical explanation would be that we had somehow been separated by some external force, something that didn't want us to interact before the start of the novels' events...'

But how?

And why?

Unlike his previous two worlds where Gods were able to interfere under certain conditions or by specific methods, constellations are different.

'They were only able to finally be granted access to this world through the star stream, and even then they can't directly interfere due to the restriction in the probability that keeps the balance within the system.'

So if not the constellations, just what could have caused them to be separated for seven years when supposedly neither of them had moved locations?

'More importantly...'
