What about the Side Character? ||LCF Fanfiction

Chapter 33

Can everything...be connected?

*In case you are confused, I'd use full name when the souls are not in their birth-bodies. For example, from the very beginning to now, I've used "Kim Rok Soo" to imply Cale's soul in Kim Rok Soo's body and vice versa.
When I call them by their names, as "Cale" and "Rok Soo", it means the name matches their souls.

At the moment his last command was transmitted, Kim Rok Soo could not feel the very thinnest tie between him and any existing world.

The noise from conversations that he had never heard, the sensation when impudence flames wrapped around the flesh, the rage that he had no clue whether belonged to those voices or the flare,... all swirled and dashed straightforwardly to him like a fierce wave and pushed him back.

Grabbed!

His backward steps fall into nothingness.

!!! G-asp!

It took him a moment to define the situation after finally getting back with gravity and stable in position on the armchair placed right behind.

He recalled the moments when he woke up in the land of spirits or when he first opened his eyes as Kim Rok Soo to see how hasty this time was. It felt like he was, literally, obviously, being thrown into another realm, where none of the other things out there could be connected except...

His eyes met the figure lying on the bed, technically not sleeping but more like unconscious status, not far away from that. 'This...what is it this time?' His eyes closed. Then opened. It was still the same. Even though the place was not the actual world, he still owned cognitive control, unlike being restricted in the dream after the first warmup round at the camp. Rule out all possibilities that he had experienced, a silent breath was let out as the most possible scenario came up:

- I didn't expect this at all.

The one who lay on the bed, the unconscious Cale Henituse, gradually opened his eyes just to realize he was currently not in any real world. It was the ceiling when he first woke up as Henituse's eldest born. He continued to lie on the bed and turned his head to the side, to where the murmur sounded a moment before.

Why did he say this was not the real world? Well, the answer was right there. A man who was sitting on the armchair noticed his gaze and began the conversation:

- Kim Rok Soo, you're finally up?

Cale Henituse observed the man calling him Kim Rok Soo. Reddish brown eyes, dark locks, leisurely posture-it was Team Leader Kim Rok Soo in his mid-thirti-wait, no, he looked a few years younger than how he was supposed to be, Cale Henituse presumed. Did that man truly turn younger, or because his facial expression made him look younger? Only a short period, but he could feel his brows twitching under the odd expression on Kim Rok Soo's face.

Cale Henituse looked at those eyes, his voice lightly probing:

- Are you Cale Henituse?

Kim Rok Soo, who finally got to meet the person the Team sincerely cared about, spared his time to observe before having a genuine smile on his face:
