Chapter 131: A Miracle for Everyone (7)

Vroooooom─!

Lee Kang-chul slammed on the accelerator with all his might.

As if it had been waiting only for Lee Kang-chul’s decision, the car heated up to its limit and increased its speed.

Whoooosh─!

Lee Kang-chul’s vehicle actually overtook the culprit’s.

But he didn’t turn the steering wheel to block the front of the culprit’s car.

He just veered off into the left fork in the road and drove like mad.

“Oooooh…!”

The people gathered in front of the screen, watching, cheered in unison.

Because they had watched all the previous episodes, they knew.

That this was the moment Lee Kang-chul finally revealed his desire for the first time.

Not for something he had to do.

But for something he wanted to do.

“Oh my, she pulled out the IV!”

“Ah, it’s okay. We checked, and her fever has gone down in the meantime.”

There was an incident where Yujin pulled out her IV mid-way, but the commotion didn’t last long.

It was because they confirmed she was safe.

A nurse disinfecting it with an alcohol swab was enough.

And next.

The production team looked at Kim Sun-il with satisfied expressions.

Though Kim Sun-il himself looked back at them with a blank expression.

Of course, Sun-il understood their gazes.

Everyone was stepping aside as if telling him to hurry and go to his sister.

Sun-il fiddled with the teddy bear cradled in his arms.

“…”

But he couldn’t easily step forward.

It was hard to tell if he was simply hesitating, if he had too much to say and was trying to sort it out, or if his emotions were just too complex to read.

A surprising thing happened then.

Yujin jumped down from the chair first.

The girl stood still and looked up at her brother.

As if waiting for Sun-il to approach.

Sun-il still seemed to be contemplating something.

The production team watched the siblings with faces full of smiles, and at some point, Seo Yeon-ju firmly pushed Sun-il’s back.

“What are you doing! Hurry up and go, you fool.”

Kim Sun-il was forced to take a couple of steps forward.

But he didn’t stop again after that.

At some point, his steps became driven by his own will, and the distance between the two siblings closed in an instant.

One of the staff members quickly noticed and lowered the screen’s volume.

Quite a close distance.

The one who broke the silence first was Sun-il.

“Yujin.”

He slowly knelt on one knee to meet her eye level.

“The teddy bear, Oppa finally found it, but…”

Sun-il smiled awkwardly.

“…It’s a bit too late, isn’t it?”

His younger sister shook her head and received the teddy bear.

There are moments when hearts connect without needing to exchange words, and this was one of them.

The siblings’ thoughts were the same.

The day their mother left them at the bathhouse.

Their time had been stopped ever since.

What the siblings had found that day and cherished until now was likely not a teddy bear, but lingering attachment.

And now, they embraced something new.

This time, the doll’s name is happiness.

Around that time, someone in a patient’s gown spoke.

“Well, then, can I ask for an autograph now?”

Kim Sun-il stood up from his spot and nodded.

With a couple of belated coughs, as if suddenly shy.

Soon, shouts spread.

“That’s right. You can’t cause a disturbance in the ward. We’ve been pretending not to notice even when Sun-il appeared.”

“I’d like a photo, please!”

As the people from the inpatient ward began to gather, the happiness of the two siblings gradually spread to everyone.

Kim Sun-il gladly accepted their requests.

PD Choi Heewon and writer Lee Geum-sook also smiled.

“I’ve been in filming for a long time, but I’ve never experienced anything like this,” PD Choi Heewon said.

“It’s not bad. I’m glad I came today.”

“I like it too,” writer Lee Geum-sook added.

“I’m getting a lot of inspiration. On the other hand, it makes me think that novels really can’t compare to reality.”

“Indeed,” PD Choi Heewon agreed.

“It turned out really well.”

The people who got Kim Sun-il’s autograph soon showed interest in the other actors as well, and the surroundings were instantly filled with liveliness.

Kim Sun-il, even while engulfed in the crowd, sent a gaze towards Sua.

A look that conveyed he had to express his gratitude.

But Sua quietly shook her head.

It meant there was no need.

She didn’t want thanks.

Just, for a while, she hoped things would remain as heartwarming as they were now.

Sua quietly murmured.

“…I’m glad it worked out well.”

The Sua Association popped its head out as if by magic.

• ─You too have a useful thought once in a while.
• ─Isn’t it because her level is like that of a child? Perhaps she accurately grasped what they wanted.
• ─…Is it a concept similar to fighting fire with fire?

‘Ugh, alright, alright. For now, chatter all you want.’

It felt like no matter what they said, she wouldn’t feel bad.

And why would she? The situation she had orchestrated had reached the best possible conclusion.

Such a proud moment would be rare in life.

• ─Really? You uncivilized and foolish thing.
• ─Insect. No, a single-celled organism.
• ─Uuuugh…. Stupid….

‘Hmm?’

• ─You trash whose brain was burned by the Samadhi fire.
• ─Even if you’re stupid, there’s a limit to how stupid you should be.
• ─Idiot! You’re an idiot!

‘Wait, just a moment.’

• ─It seems like your brain suffered from the Star-Sucking Great Method.
• ─Wouldn’t that be a loss for the one who absorbed it?
• ─Hmm? Now that you mention it….

‘These guys, really.’

As Sua prepared to enter her inner world, the little Suas hurriedly fled and darted into the house.

Even locking the door.

Anyway, they’re so infuriating.

It was then.

“Sua!”

Lifting her head at someone’s call, she saw that everyone had gathered around Kim Sun-il and Yujin.

She understood immediately.

It seemed they were preparing for a group photo.

Seo Yeon-ju said with a bright smile.

“Come to think of it, Special Mobile Unit 808 hasn’t taken a group photo. I thought it would be good to take one now. Come on over!”

Sua nodded while thinking.

What was it that she had experienced today?

It wasn’t something explainable by nature or scientific laws, but it was certainly something extraordinary.

Because it wasn’t enough that it united everyone in heart and mind; it also warmed their hearts.

“…”

But she soon realized it.

“I’m coming now!”

Sua took light steps.

The name of the phenomenon they had created and experienced themselves today.

Mystic.

It must surely be a miracle.

At the same time, the official homepage was going crazy.

The expression “in an uproar” was no longer sufficient.

With a single refresh, a post that had been at the very top would be pushed down to the third page.

It was certainly a rare sight to behold.

• ─This is f*cking crazy.
• ─Lee Kang-chul!!!! That’s right!!!!!!
• ─Kyaaaaaaaah
• ─Wow, I feel like all my resentment is disappearing.
• ─Yes, he has to go save him!!!!!!
• ─Ahㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
• ─Save Kim Yuhan! Save him no matter what!
• ─Kim Sun-il is insane, really lolololol

There were no more fights about the confrontational dynamic between Kim Yuhan and Lee Kang-chul.

At this moment, all viewers were experiencing the power of a narrative that united everyone.

This was, of course, the same for the Sua Task Force.

Social media, naturally, also rode the wave.

This was especially prominent in the Story feature of Instagram.

Through the feature that allows adding short photos and text, all sorts of celebrities expressed their interest.

Tremendous excitement.

But if Sua had seen these sights, she would have casually said one thing.

That this is just the beginning.

---

After the siblings reconciled and even finished the group photo shoot, everyone watched Special Mobile Unit 808 with much lighter hearts.

No, their hearts couldn’t be at ease.

Because anticipation soon boiled up like lava.

It was understandable.

『You…?』

Swaaaaaa─

The rain pouring relentlessly inside the screen.

『Shhh.』

Kim Yuhan.

No, it was Sua who quietly placed her index finger on her lips.

It was the climax of the story.

『This is a secret.』

At the same time, it was a nuclear warhead falling all over Korea.
