“Ha-yool, don’t just stay in the corner… Come here, hold hands.”

“Huh? Hasol, why is he… ”

After that night.

Lee Ha-sol began to actively take care of Lee Ha-yul.

Of course, it was Lee Ha-sol who had mainly helped Lee Ha-yul in the past.

It was a mandatory action.

I thought it was a hassle, and I had a lot of worries lingering inside, so I couldn’t take care of it.

“If you’re cold, don’t just stay still, speak up… Hmm… You have to let them know your condition. Then they can cover you with a blanket or help you. ”

It’s different now.

I did it of my own volition rather than thinking of it as homework.

I went to find Lee Ha-yul, who was quietly sitting there, and brought him close to me to check on his condition and talk to him.

People around him looked at him with puzzlement, but Lee Ha-sol didn’t pay much attention.

While I was worrying about the distant future, I received gratitude from an unexpected person, which changed my mind and made me curious.

As a result, we learned more about this rate.

“Okay, where is this part?”

-Forearm

“Below that…here?”

-wrist

The most basic feature is that it looks like a machine.

Even though he is as emotionless as a doll, he remembers when you teach him something. He has a good memory so he doesn’t forget anything.

He practices what he teaches without fail.

“What the hell…! Harul! Why were you just sitting there!”

Lee Ha-yul is physically weak. He can’t even run properly and can’t even lift slightly heavy loads.

He also suffers from minor illnesses periodically. He is already weak, so it is very unsettling to see him suffer from minor illnesses frequently.

-it’s okay

“What’s okay! First, to the director…!”

The problem is that people around you don’t know about it.

One day when the rate of poison was quiet.

I realized this after touching Lee Ha-yool’s forehead, which was as hot as a fireball, getting scared and snatching away the note that said it was okay.

He probably just wanted to sit still and wait until his illness subsided.

“You should never hide the pain! You must! If something feels strange, you must express it! Hot, cold, hot, stomachache!”

-All right

It’s an eerie memory. A minor illness that is ignored and neglected can turn into a chronic illness.

Lee Ha-yool was already very weak. Thinking that his minor illness could develop into a serious bone disease gave him goosebumps.

-thank you

-it’s okay

-All right

“… … ”

One day, a note fell into my hands and turned into three pages. Since then, I have come to know many things about Lee Ha-yool.

“Ha-yul, doesn’t it hurt even if we touch like this?”

-it’s okay

“… More details. Are you in pain?”

-There is no pain.

The right arm has a hideous burn that extends all the way to the forearm. There is no pain even when changing the bandage and touching it during daily life.

“Are you completely unable to speak? Or is there a problem with speaking?”

-I have pain

Iharyul feels pain when she uses her throat. She is fine eating or breathing, but when she tries to speak, her throat feels like it’s going to tear.

“What does the front look like?”

-I don’t know

-Fog, clouds, and steam are visible.

It’s not the type where your vision is dark or blurry. It’s like fog? The vision is obscured by clouds.

“How is it? Is it delicious?

-I don’t know

“… Huh?”

He has no sense of taste. He also has a problem with his sense of smell, which is closely related to taste. He somehow manages to eat tasteless porridge without any problem.

The problem wasn’t just the physical part.

‘Oh, again… ‘

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Ha Sol, lying in bed, frowned at the noise coming from outside.

The outskirts where the daycare center is located are places where minor accidents often occur.

Since it is a relatively safe area on the peninsula, accidents caused by monsters and dungeons are rare.

However, it is common for drunk people to cause trouble in the nearby entertainment district.

That day, there was a commotion somewhere particularly close. I woke up because of it and felt annoyed. That was all.

“… … .”

“… rate?”

The reaction of Lee Ha-yool, who was sleeping next to him, was not trivial.

Lee Ha-yool’s body trembles. Cold sweat forms on her always stiff face.

Ha Sol’s eyes widened at the unexpectedly violent reaction from Ha Yul, who was like a doll.

“Ha-yul, Ha-yul…! What’s wrong? Where are you…? ”

When I hugged Ha-yul in surprise, Ha-yul trembled for a while as if she was scared.

I didn’t know the reason at the time, but as time passed, I came to know it naturally.

Lee Ha-yul hates alcohol and cigarettes. It’s not just that he hates them, he feels a strong sense of rejection towards them.

I don’t know the reason. I couldn’t ask Lee Ha-yool directly.

But for whatever reason, I hate drinking and smoking so much that it causes me to get angry.

‘… … ‘

It’s just a problem that I’ve calmly figured out. Even without professional insight, I could tell that it was a serious situation.

Lee Ha-sol sometimes recalled the way adults looked at Lee Ha-yul.

Sympathy, regret, and self-loathing were all visible in those eyes.

There was no sign of expectation or hope. What does that mean? The young Ha-sol could easily infer.

The reality that even a healthy person like Lee Ha-sol can feel distant.

It will be much more difficult for Lee Ha-yool, who has many problems both physically and mentally.

‘ah.’

Lee Ha-sol was afraid of the future. She didn’t know much yet, but she was even more afraid because of ignorance and the unknown.

Even Ihasol feels that way.

“The rate is… ”

What will the future hold for Lee Ha-yool, who is in a more serious predicament than her?

Although Lee Ha-sol felt the difficulty, Lee Ha-yool had to think of the impossible first.

Thinking about Lee Ha-yool’s situation made my heart ache.

A sense of despair settled on her chest. Her situation was also difficult, but her own worries felt light when she put Lee Ha-yul in front of her.

“… Awakening, phenomenon?”

But it seems that the heavens did not abandon her, she had good luck.

“Okay, wait! Hasol! Don’t move and stay still! I’ll call the association right away, so calm down and… ”

Awakening phenomenon. A transformation into a superhuman that comes to a small number of people.

It’s a given for those who belong to the superhuman powers, but for an ordinary person like Lee Ha-sol who has no special connection with superhumans, it’s a miracle that requires good luck.

‘Isn’t there a connection?’

Lee Ha-sol doesn’t even know what her parents look like. Naturally, she doesn’t know what kind of people they are. She doesn’t know, but one of her parents could actually be a superhuman.

‘doesn’t care.’

The moment of awakening. Lee Ha-sol did not hesitate to ask such questions.

Superman. I still don’t know what qualities I have or what I can achieve.

But once you become a superhuman, that alone can solve a lot of the worries that normal people have.

‘If this is it…’

Problems that ordinary people cannot solve may be solved.

The rock I touched without thinking flashed.

Ha Sol Lee, who was as shocked as the people around him, calmly put down the rock while trembling at the strength he felt in his arms.

Boom! Those who flinch at the vibration that shakes the ground.

I opened my eyes wide in surprise at the sudden awakening of Ha-sol, and fell down in fear.

“… … ”

Lee Ha-yul was still looking up at Lee Ha-sol with an emotionless face.

“Ah.”

I instinctively tried to grab Lee Ha-yool’s hand, but stopped myself with the force coming up from his arm.

If I grabbed that slender hand with the strength to lift a rock, it would break like a reed stalk.

But I wasn’t afraid of that kind of power. Rather, I was glad to have it.

‘…Can you fix that?’

Burns on arms. Voice, eyes, weak body. Problematic mind.

I don’t know. I’m not sure.

The impossible did not immediately come to mind.

Lee Ha-sol felt overwhelmed by that alone.

.

.

.

‘I thought so too…’

The past that quickly flashed through my mind.

I blinked and a private room in a cafe, not a daycare center, came into view.

[?]

The rate of change is the same, but the appearance is very different.

As memories of the past came to mind, the contrast was vivid. I stroked the glass of water and admired Lee Ha-yool’s appearance.

‘… It’s changed a lot.’

Hair that had turned white as if she had shed it. Right arm with a burn scar that had disappeared. Although he had grown quite a bit, he was still smaller than her.

What on earth has happened to you, your already pretty appearance…

[…Why are you like that? Did you ask me something?]

“No. I was just watching.”

[Is that so?]

But the biggest change is still set in stone.

Vividness.

The facial muscles twitch slightly, the lips quiver, and the fingers wiggle as if trying to read the mood, and the first person to speak is

Every movement was filled with emotion.

‘… Is everything cured?’

Just looking at him made me feel happy. All the worries and concerns I had been holding in my heart disappeared in an instant, so I couldn’t help but be happy.

… It was a very bad thought, but I also felt a little empty.

Ha Sol’s face became slightly disheveled as he thought of the various elixirs, medicinal herbs, and artifacts that had been piled up separately.

[But, Ha-sol, is it okay if I don’t have any drinks or snacks?]

A question suddenly came from the other side.

Is she tilting her head as if she’s deliberately being cute? Ha Sol shook her head, having a small question in her mind.

“I don’t really eat snacks when I’m with Jeon Ha-ryul.”

[Yes? Why?]

“Ha-yul can’t taste it. If I eat it alone in front of him, I feel uncomfortable.“

[Hic]

“… Oh, I forgot that too. I knew it before. ”

Lee Ha-yool held his breath. He has forgotten his past memories and doesn’t know this kind of thing.

Ha Sol-i shook her head with a bitter smile.

-Tiring!

[huh?]

It was at that moment that an alarm went off on Lee Ha-yool’s smartwatch.

[ah…]

“Why are you like that?“

Lee Ha-yool’s face suddenly brightened.

It was still a strange and surprising change of emotions. When Ha-sol asked with her eyes wide open, Ha-yul pointed to the door.

.

.

.

After a while.

“Ah…! You were the one who took care of our rate!”

Our rate.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Elia Sreyd. I’ve heard the name of Lee Ha-sol a lot before. Cadet No. 122.”

Elia smiled faintly, clasping her hands together.

Bright yellow hair. A bright and beautiful smile and a voluptuous body.

Elias Reid.

One of the female names that is associated with Iha Yul.

“… Yes, nice to meet you too. Mr. Sreyd. My name is Ihasol. ”

Lee Ha-sol, who had been silent, smiled and replied.
