|Weak Hero| Change the Fate's Design

Chapter 24

"Ben, you do realize what you're saying sounds so crazy, right?" Alex said the next morning when Ben arrived at school and explained everything to them. 

"There's a lot of posts on the Shuttle Patch about Donald Na's revival and the dimensional travel," Rowan said as he skimmed through the posts. "So it's not Ben imagining things,"

"It sounds unbelievable but it really did happen," Ben claimed.

"Your Ben Park is telling the truth," Silververse Gray said as he entered the classroom.

"Gray!" The Eungang exclaimed.

"I'm not your Gray Yeon," Silververse Gray shook his head. "I'm Gray Yeon from the other universe,"

"What's wrong?" Ben asked. "Did something happen?"

"No, nothing's changed about our current situation," Silververse Gray informed. "But my brother, the Donald Na of this world, is willing to talk to your Gray Yeon if it'll help him with his trauma from watching him die,"

"We'll keep that in mind," Ben said.

"Since the Donald from this world reincarnated into your world as your younger brother," Gerard inquired. "What was he like in your world?"

"He never had any friends his age, which was most likely attributed to being already seventeen years old at birth," Silververse Gray recalled. "But he didn't seem lonely around me. After we found out he was a reincarnation from another world, he told me that he had wanted to befriend the Gray Yeon of his original world,"

"He wants to become friends with Gray?" Teddy questioned. "Why?"

"He said that his dying thoughts were wondering if he had been met the Gray Yeon of this world before creating the Union, would they have been friends," Silververse Gray informed. "All of the things he has done to you guys are still recent, but he has lived over a decade in my universe. It may be hard to believe, but he has changed and is different from the Donald Na you know,"

After school, the Eungang made their way over to VIP Villa and convinced Gray's mother to let them in so they could talk to Gray. She was extremely worried about her son, especially since he wasn't really eating again just like in middle school, so she let them inside as she left for work.

"Gray?" Ben gently called.

"Why are you guys here?" Gray's hair was disheveled and there were dark bags starting to form under his eyes. It was a stark contrast to his usual neat and tidy appearance.

"Donald Na is alive,"

Gray stared at them, thinking he was hallucinating again. "We saw him get hit by a truck. We were there when the hospital told us that he had died,"

"He did die but now he's alive again," Ben told him. "I was there when he woke up in his casket,"

"The dead don't come back to life," Gray deadpanned.

"He, uh, kinda did," Ben scratched the back of his head, unsure of how to convince him that he was telling the truth. "I'll call him over here," That's when Ben realized something. "I don't know Donald Na's number,"

"Don't you still have his number in your log from when he called you?" Gerard asked.

"I cleared my call logs last week," Ben claimed.

"People are saying he's at Daehyeon's track field," Rowan, who was skimming through the Shuttle Patch, informed.

"See, Gray?" Ben said. "Donald Na's alive,"

The Eungang had to drag Gray out of his apartment and all the way to Daehyeon. The entire Silververse gang were there except for Silververse Donald and Silververse Kingsley. The Silververse gang were following Donald's training regiment again. Silververse Gray and Silververse Eugene were already out of breath and resting beside Donald and Kingsley.

"What are they doing?" Ben inquired as they approached Donald.

"They're following the same training regiment I used to get to my current strength," Donald answered. His eyes shifted towards Gray. "White Mamba,"

"You're actually alive..." Gray stared at him. 

"You shouldn't blame yourself for my death," Donald told him. 

"You were begging me to stop you," Gray recalled. "That was the hidden meaning behind you asking me for a rematch,"

"Even if you didn't stop me, it's still not your fault," Donald said. 

"It's Cheongang's fault," Kingsley interrupted. "They were the ones who had Jang-Il Transportation run you over in exchange for clearing Mr. Jang's debts,"

"See, Mamba?" Donald said. "It wasn't your fault at all. Although I hate Cheongang, dying and reincarnating in that other world was the best thing that happened to me,"

"It is?" Alex questioned. "Are you sure you're mentally well?"

"I'm much better mentally than before I died," Donald shrugged. "In that other universe, I was given a fresh start and a second chance at life. I have a family and eventually gained friends. I'm actually happy,"

"Since you're back in this world, what do you plan to do?" Gray asked.

"Kingsley and I plan on going back to the other world," Donald claimed. "That other world is our home now. I'll probably still have to beat some sense into that world's Donald to get him to disband the Union,"

Silververse Gray nudged his brother. "Don't you have something to say to them?"

"Nope," Donald quickly denied.

"Kenny taught me a way to make younger siblings listen," Silververse Gray smirked. "Silver, I am disappoi—"

"Fine, I'll apologize!" Donald cut him off. He bowed towards the Eungang. "I'm sorry for all the trouble my Union has caused you,"

The Eungang was silent for a few seconds, too shocked to respond. It was Teddy who broke the silence. "We're hallucinating. Or we're dead too. There's no way Donald Na just bowed his head and apologized to us!"

"It's very much real," Donald deadpanned.

"You also need to apologize to their version of me," Silververse Eugene added.

"I will if he and his friends are willing to let me talk to him," Donald sighed. "There goes my reputation..."

"Do you plan on going after Cheongang?" Gray asked.

"No," Donald shook his head. "Although I don't care much for the Union in this world, I'm not going to potentially get them killed too. According to Kingsley, Cheongang only had me killed. As long as Cheongang doesn't actively go after us while we're here, I won't go after them," He paused before taking out his phone. 

Remember the video Donald took of him pinning Changhui underneath a table and cutting his forehead with Changhui's own knife? Donald just posted that to the Shuttle Patch. Now everyone knows that Changhui Han completely lost to Donald Na.

Cheongang's reputation is now ruined. I'm not going to have Cheongang Takedown in this fic because there's only so many ways I can write those events and it's not an integral part of this story.
