The Greatest Wall | Pentagon

Epilogue

"Hello, my name is Yeo Changgu! Nice to meet you." He waved at the screen in front of him, standing against the living room wall. Hyunggu smiled behind the camera as they filmed in Hongseok and Changgu's house.

"If you're watching this video, then welcome! To your new home."

Hui waved in front of the newly built streets crossing and connecting the once barren dessert.

"We have expanded our city and are providing houses to those in need."

Jinho stood smiling in a white lab coat, sitting in an office.

"We have the hospitals and technology to stop disease."

A man was about to break into a store when Wooseok in a uniform with a squad of hovercars behind him appeared.

"We have started a system to organize crime."

Shinwon was cleaning up the scattered toys left on the floor as the other volunteers at the orphanage took the kids to play outside, eyes lingering on the old astronaut and race car driver figurines.

"Children will be looked after and given proper education."

Yanan lectured in front of a large classroom, pointing at a problem on the screen behind him.

"Finally, and the biggest things of all, are your powers and soulmate," Changgu glanced at Hongseok standing in the kitchen, then back at the camera. "It may seem scary or ridiculous to discover them or dream of, but they are real... So don't be afraid."

Text would appear at the end of the video.

This message has been approved by President Yuto.

End of instruction manual vol. 1, the beginning. See vol. 2, dreams.

Hyunggu wrapped up filming and soon left, saying goodbye to Hongseok and Changgu.

They settled on a spot that had become theirs on the couch together. Changgu comfortably rested his head on Hongseok's shoulder, but could feel how Hongseok hesitated to return his touch, like he was the one that was afraid, like he might break Changgu.

"Is this ok?" Changgu asked.

Hongseok nodded, but still sat in a stiff position.

"Are... you ok?"

Hongseok tensed even more. "Y-Yeah..." He spoke up. "Just... So... Do you remember everything now?"

"Well Yanan wouldn't let me get away with forgetting him and told me everything. So I know what happened... But no, I don't really remember..." Changgu stared at the ground. "There is this sadness though... I just feel that I was really sad... And now I know why... but I still don't remember..." Changgu laughed unsure. "I'm talking in circles."

Hongseok gently leaned the side of his head on top of Changgu's. "That's ok... So you know... it was me who..."

"Oh yeah," Changgu smiled teasingly. "Yanan was so extra. He loves being dramatic about it. 'You're whipped for my murderer.'"

Hongseok was amused, but swallowed looking up at the ceiling. "You're not... mad at me?"

"It was never your fault. You thought you were protecting us."

Hongseok lifted his head causing Changgu to as well and for them to look at each other. "But you became so sad..."

"Because I thought I didn't protect him," Changgu stated. "I had a lot of hope... that my- my spell or whatever would work... and when it didn't after all that time... I just lost hope," He concluded.
