Winter Vacation(2)
When a person regains consciousness, it doesn't happen all at once, like turning on a TV. Instead, it happens slowly, as the consciousness submerged in the dream world gradually spreads into reality, little by little reclaiming the senses.
The first sense to return is hearing.
"...together..."
"...involved..."
"...complicated transfer process..."
"...we can do it..."
As the murmuring voices penetrated his ears, Baek Yu-Seol's senses began to sharpen, accelerating the return of his consciousness.
Reality suddenly unfolded all at once.
Baek Yu-Seol tried to open his eyes and get up in an instant, but...
"..."
It was as if an entire building was pressing down on his eyelids, making them feel unbearably heavy.
But that wasn't the only problem.
It was as if someone had tied him up with iron cables, rendering him completely immobile. He couldn't move a single finger, and it felt as though the sensation in his entire body had vanished.
'What's going on...'
Panic set in.
He had no idea why his body was in this state.
Then, a sharp pain shot out from his heart, causing him to scream internally.
'Aaaahhhh...'
But since he couldn't move, he couldn't even scream.
It felt like there was a ticking time bomb installed in his heart, and beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
'It's going to explode...'
His heart swelled like a balloon.
The immense energy stored inside it was too much for the fragile human heart to bear.
Baek Yu-Seol felt like he might actually die, and he wanted to cling to something to hold on to, but his body still refused to move.
'Ugh...'
Desperately trying to hold onto his sanity, he struggled to move his body. Suddenly, he felt a gaze.
'...What?'
His mind snapped back to full alertness.
Thanks to his hearing, he realized that there were other people around. He could even recognize familiar voices.
'Ma Yuseong, Jelliel? Alterisha...'
Their voices echoed in his ears like a distant reverberation, gradually fading away.
'Something's wrong with Baek Yu-Seol...!'
'Doctor! Call a doctor...!'
'He's suddenly having a seizure...'
As his consciousness drifted further away, even their voices became inaudible.
But apart from their concerned gazes, there was another, more powerful gaze watching Baek Yu-Seol from a higher dimension.
'Who is it? Who's there?!'
He shouted towards the giant presence that was watching him, but his voice did not reach it.
'Ugh!'
The gaze was bothersome, but this was not the time to focus on it. His heart was swelling even more.
