I am not a returner Episode 266:
Snowy field (6)
“Sister…?”
Moment.
Goosebumps ran down my spine along with the feeling that the world had stopped.
Ha-eun opened the hospital room door and strode inside, glaring at him with cold eyes.
“You lost your memory?”
“….”
Have you already heard everything?
Ohjin sighed deeply and nodded.
“that’s right.”
“you…!”
Ha-eun clenched her fist and raised her hand.
I closed my eyes tightly, thinking I’d been hit, but there was no subsequent shock.
“Why… why didn’t you tell me!”
With wide eyes, he grabbed Oh Jin’s collar.
Shoulders and hands shaking.
With bitter eyes, Oh Jin wiped away the tears from Ha Eun’s eyes with his hand.
Is there any other reason why I hid it from her?
“Because I didn’t want my sister to make this kind of expression.”
“….”
Ha-eun chewed her lips and relaxed her grip on Oh-jin’s collar.
She stood up hesitantly and turned her head towards Isabella, who did not know what to do.
“I’m going out for a moment.”
“Sister Oh Jin is because of me….”
“I’m out.”
A cold voice.
Isabella, who was moving her lips to say something, looked at Ojin with trembling eyes.
Oh Jin nodded slightly as if it was okay.
“…Then I’ll be out.”
Sweet.
The door to the hospital room was closed.
“….”
“….”
Only the two of them were left in the hospital room.
A cold silence that felt unfamiliar fell.
Ha-eun opened her mouth quietly, breaking the silence that seemed to last forever.
“You said you lost your memory of me too, right?”
“huh.”
“…What did you remember?”
Ha-eun asks with a trembling voice as if she is anxious.
Seeing her precarious appearance as if it would shatter and scatter if he touched it, Ojin lightly held her hand.
“I remember my older sister being my lover.”
“…!”
Ha-eun’s eyes opened wide.
He pulled Ojin’s hand, which he was holding, and leaned towards him.
“Then the reason we’re dating now is…!”
“Just because the memories are gone doesn’t mean the emotions are gone.”
Although the memories of being lovers with her have disappeared.
That didn’t mean my feelings for her disappeared.
As for that feeling.
No matter what happens, it won’t be erased.
In order for all my feelings for Ha-eun to disappear, all my memories from the day I first talked to her on the roof of the orphanage would have to disappear.
“Since when… ah.”
A short exclamation flowed from Ha-eun’s mouth.
When Ojin came out from being trapped in the demon world.
Suddenly, I remembered when he said he was going out to get some air, his eyes shaking nervously.
I didn’t notice anything strange at the time, but now that I think about it, he seemed a bit different from usual.
“…So the memories before that have disappeared? every?”
“Not everything is gone. “Only the memory of becoming lovers has disappeared.”
then.
“Have you… forgotten what I confessed?”
When caught by Cheon Do-yoon.
Have I forgotten all the memories of kissing him and confessing the feelings I had kept hidden in my heart?
“….”
Ojin looked at her with sad eyes without answering anything.
That was enough of an answer.
“Ah…”
Ha-eun looked at him with watery eyes, as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
A dark feeling, as if a dark cloud had hung over my mind.
My heart ached as if it were going to explode when I thought that he had been carrying these feelings alone all this time.
“…Sorry.”
“What am I sorry about, sister?”
“I didn’t know… you must have been suffering, but I…”
I leaned on him as if nothing had happened.
Without even knowing what he was carrying alone.
-Now those Black Holy Society bastards are just gum!
When I first heard about the technique called Gaecheon from Oh Jin, the words he said ran through my head.
What emotions did he feel when he laughed and said those words so ignorantly?
“sister.”
Oh Jin smiled slightly as he stroked the cheek of Ha-eun, who was crying.
“The world doesn’t disappear if you close your eyes, right?”
I whispered to her what I heard from Vega.
“…What do you mean?”
“Even if you forget it, it doesn’t mean it’s completely gone. Well, actually, losing your memory isn’t such a big deal, is it?”
“What kind of bullshit are you saying that it’s not a big deal…!”
“Then do you remember what the lunch menu was from a month ago?”
“That’s…”
Ha-eun mutters, “It’s not that kind of problem.”
“haha. “That’s right.”
Forgetting what I had for lunch a month ago was one thing, but forgetting the priceless memories I shared with her was a completely different matter.
but.
“No matter how many times I forget, I will still be by your side like now.”
“….”
Ha-eun looked at Oh Jin with trembling eyes.
He pulled his joined hands and hugged Oh Jin’s body.
“From now on… never use that technique in the future.”
“…well.”
If a situation like this comes, can we really not use Gaecheon?
“Ojini you…!”
“okay okay. “I won’t use it in the future.”
“…is it a promise?”
“huh.”
Oh Jin chuckled and nodded.
Ha-eun patted Oh-jin on the back with sad eyes.
Ha-eun, who had been hugging him in silence for a while, closed her eyes tightly.
‘Wake.’
Wouldn’t it be scary to lose one’s memory due to a misdiagnosis?
Even though he knew all that, he used Gaecheon.
To protect your loved ones.
I couldn’t just ask him why he used such a dangerous technique.
If he hadn’t used Gaecheon, Ha-eun wouldn’t have been able to hug him like this.
“…You said you were attacked by the Serpens Queen, right?”
“To be exact, the Serpent Queen who is controlled by the Heavenly Demon.”
“anyway.”
He has now encountered the highest ranked executioner of the Black Star Society and has returned safely alive.
I couldn’t let only sweet, dark memories remain like this.
“Hmm. Hey, now that I think about it, when you used Gaecheon before, all your memories of dating me have disappeared, right?”
“Oh yeah. It did.”
“So… have you forgotten all your memories of the first time you hung out with me?”
“what?”
Perhaps it was a question he didn’t expect to come up in this atmosphere, but Ohjin looked at her with a puzzled expression.
“No, well… my memory of dating was erased, so I forgot everything.”
“So you lost your virginity twice?”
What are you talking about all of a sudden, this woman?
“Hehehe. So… if my sister does it one more time, this will be the third time I’ve removed it?”
“No, I didn’t forget this time…”
Grumpy!
Ha-eun, who was holding Oh-jin’s body, used her strength to lay him down on the bed.
Ha-eun sits on top of Oh Jin and smiles seductively.
I bent down and was so close to him that the tips of my noses touched.
“Then from now on…”
I reach out my hand and gently touch his chest.
“I will engrave your memories so you can never forget them.”
Ha-eun smiled deeply and kissed his lips.
“No, what did this crazy sister do to the patient… Ugh!”
Creak, creak.
The cold air in the hospital room began to heat up.
* * *
“ha.”
Late at night.
After Ha-eun, who had been clinging to him since broad daylight and wouldn’t let him go, fell asleep with a satisfied expression.
Oh Jin came out of the hospital room and went up to the rooftop.
As I came out, the cool night air tickled my cheeks.
I looked up at the stars in the night sky and took a sip of canned coffee from the vending machine.
‘Cheonma.’
Who on earth is this guy?
‘At the moment, there is a high possibility that it is a constellation with strong power like Titan or Polaris, but…’
Right now, we don’t know the exact information about it yet.
I couldn’t judge it hastily.
“ha.”
A deep sigh flowed from Ojin’s leaves.
In the past, even if there was a being called the Heavenly Demon, I couldn’t see any movement, so I didn’t feel this gloomy.
‘The same goes for Celestial Dragon and Cassia.’
Gradually, as the movements of the Heavenly Demon began to become noticeable, the burden and fear of him came to me.
“Isn’t it still possible to move directly?”
The only thing that can provide a little bit of relief is his current condition.
Seeing that Cassia attacked him by doing such a troublesome thing, it was correct to assume that he was still unable to move on his own.
“Okay.”
Oh Jin leaned on the rooftop railing and swallowed.
The wind that blew at that time blew the empty can next to the railing backwards.
When I turned to catch the coffee that flew away.
Sreuk.
An eerie sound like a snake moving.
A black snake with an empty can in its mouth that had blown away in the wind slithered across the floor and came towards him.
“You’re here.”
Cassia walked out from the shadows of deep darkness.
Oh Jin trembled and looked at her with nervous eyes.
Cassia smiled slightly and chuckled.
“You don’t have to be so guarded. “I have no intention of harming Oh Jin.”
While saying that, Cassia glided over to him and whispered in his ear.
“Not yet.”
“….”
An eerie breath reached my earlobe.
“What’s going on here?”
“I stopped by before I left. “I have something to give to Oh Jin.”
“You’re leaving? Where?”
Are you saying that you are going to go to the Heavenly Demon?
“Hehe. why? “Are you curious?”
Cassia giggles with a mischievous smile.
“Do not worry. “Because it’s not like I’m going back to Heavenly Demon.”
She looked up at the night sky with somewhat lonely eyes.
“My own way of atonement… shall we say? “I don’t know if I have the right to say something like that.”
Atone.
Well, there was a lot of blood on her hands so far.
but.
“I did that because my consciousness was controlled by the Heavenly Demon.”
Cheonma cleverly stimulated her trauma and turned her into a puppet who fanatically followed him.
He probably just followed his words in a hazy state of mind without even knowing what he was doing.
“But even so, I did it.”
Cassia shook her head with a faint smile.
“But thanks to Oh Jin, I can now figure out what I should do next.”
Cassia approached Ojin with a pretty smile.
I guess she was Isabella’s older sister, so when she smiled, the corners of her eyes looked a bit like Isabella’s.
“Do not forget it. “The promises you made to me.”
Cassia said as she carefully hugged Ojin’s body.
“okay.”
I decided to become her heavenly horse.
Even if it’s just a dirty lie told by a conman to survive.
I couldn’t turn my back on the girl shivering in the snowy field.
“….”
Cassia trembled slightly while hugging Ojin’s body.
Am I secretly crying again?
Anyway, both my younger brother and older sister are secretly tearful women.
Oh Jin smiled slightly and patted her on the back.
“…Mr. Ohjin.”
“huh?”
but.
What he said next was a little different from what he expected.
“You smell like another woman…?”
Cassia’s eyes, with her long tongue sticking out like a snake, glowed an eerie green.
