Volume 7 – Disjunction

 

Chapter 22

“I really can’t believe it. However, I’m now in a situation where I have no choice but to believe it. In this world, you…….had awakened to your powers and was sent to the special class. We were in different rooms, so we never went on school trips together. That’s the truth that had happened in this world. And, I’ve never told anyone else, the things that had happened in my previous world’s school trip. There’s no way that you could have heard it from anyone else.”

“I’m glad. Do you believe me now?”

“It’s still hard for me to believe it, but I have no choice but to accept it. Then, if those are your memories, does that mean that you have the memories of the Haneul from this world?”

Haneul shook his head.

“I don’t have any memories of the Haneul from this world. I don’t even have a single idea on how I’ve been living until this point. All I know is that Haneul from World A had been living here. That’s why, I have no clue as to how the Haneul from this world was, whether he was a good person or a bad person.”

Good person.

JoonYoung was skeptical.

The Haneul right now was completely different from before. He was like the twin, but with a better personality.

‘What the hell happened. Although JoonYoung and I have the same memories from our previous world, there’s one thing that’s definitely different. It’s the ability to adapt.’

Listening to the conversation till now, JoonYoung was unable to accept the gap between this world, and his previous world. It was completely different from how Haneul had adjusted to his new life.

Humans are known to be adapting animals, but looking back on it, Haneul’s was a bit severe. No matter how one looked at it, he had adapted at an abnormally fast speed. As if, he was a person originally from this world.

“So, how are you even able to accept this situation? Why are you so calm? It’s only been one month since you’ve been transported here, yet you understand everything that’s going on right now? No, not only that, but you’re also a Hero right now. Quite a famous one too. Utilizing intel from Headquarters, I’ve already looked into you. How are you able to do it? Adapting to society, and fighting in a battle is a completely different story.”

“Even if I was to explain it to you, it’s a bit ambiguous. My body just moves on its own when it needs to. It’s as if I’m not really me.”

That was the only way that Haneul could explain it.

His body moves.

Before he could even think about anything, he would start acting against the monsters.

JoonYoung began to play with mental games again.

“Again, it’s such a difficult explanation to comprehend. You’re saying your body moves, even though you don’t have any memories from this world? In this world, you have to take certain steps in order to become a Hero. Whether it’s you, or me, we’ve faithfully stepped into it. Yet, you’re saying that you don’t have any memories of it? It was something that I mastered after several years in order to make it my own again.”

“JoonYoung, all I know is that, ever since I came to this world, I’ve began learning and memorizing everything. It’s normal that you don’t understand. However, I can’t say anything for certain right now, except the fact that my body somehow remembers it. That’s why my body just moves on its own, as if I’ve been practicing all this time.”

“How absurd. Even movies are more realistic than that.”

“Yet, it’s the truth.”

JoonYoung stared at Haneul again.

‘True. This is how I used to converse with Haneul.’

The conversations that they used to have, before JoonYoung’s life was turned upside down, was very similar to the way they were talking to each other now.

Haneul was always subtle when he spoke, and always very calm and orderly. That’s why, every time they spoke to each other, JoonYoung felt as if his head was clearing.

“JoonYoung, is it difficult to manage for you?”

“That’s right. It would be a lie if I said that I could accept all of this without even flinching.”

“You don’t have to think of this in a complicated way. No matter how much you think about it, it’s not something that you can fix. It’s a truth that wouldn’t be spoken of if it wasn’t you.”

“Do you not want to go back?”

“…….”

Haneul did not reply.

It was true that he was confused. However, if someone was to ask him if his previous life was better than his current one, he would not be able to give an answer.

JoonYoung did not wait to listen for an answer.

“Never mind. Forget it. Even if we were to put our heads together, we still wouldn’t be able to come up with a solution.”

“Yeah, that’s not what’s important right now.”

Haneul lifted up his head and looked straight at JoonYoung.

At that moment, JoonYoung clearly knew the reason why Haneul had sought him out.

‘Friend.’

It was a word that even JoonYoung had forgotten about.

Haneul said that he did not expect anything. However, that was a lie. Haneul had come today in order to meet with his friend. The friend that he had buried in his heart, because of the accident.

‘It really is the same Haneul.’

The moment that JoonYoung realized it, Haneul put his hand out.

“JoonYoung, I congratulate you for coming back alive.”

“That’s a weird way to put it. I never died in the first place.”

The both of them smiled, grabbed each other’s hands, and shook.

For the first time since coming to this world, Haneul had finally found a person that he could share all of his thoughts with, and someone who he could reminisce with about the past.

A person that he could call a friend.
