chapter 36
36. The memory (1)
The memory (1)
Even though I was cursed to lose all memories of me in one day, I kept in contact with Kim Si-woo’s party. Actions to deliberately leave memories were meaningless, so I didn’t try except in the early days, but I had to make contact out of necessity.
And among them, especially the yellow one, I met quite often.
At most of the time, I just watched and stayed around, but Yellowy was a bit different. If he was criticized by Kim Si-woo for a reason that didn’t work, he became depressed because of it, so he went up to the roof of an abandoned building and stayed there all day.
In fact, it’s fortunate that it’s only that much, but in the case of Yellowy, it went one step further. It’s because if you’re mentally pushed to the limit, it’s not just the end of depression, it’s because you’re going to commit suicide.
It almost gave me goosebumps when I found empty eyes staring down from the rooftop. I really hurriedly ran to dry the yellow and did some mental care.
The behavior of the yellow… No, it was really difficult to respond every time because it was impossible to predict exactly when Siwoo Kim’s twist would break out.
When Kim Si-woo gets annoyed, Yellowi goes to the rooftop of the abandoned building, and I don’t know when something will happen, so I hurriedly go up to the disguised identity and talk to Yellowy.
It was not unusual to have to brush my mouth according to my job.
I had to talk to soldiers, building owners, merchants, local residents, civil servants, cleaners, construction workers, and so on in a variety of ways.
“That’s great! That person is bad! What did the young lady do wrong!”
One day, he disguised himself as a drunken homeless man and contacted Yellowy. All he did was drink properly and curse Kim Si-woo. It was my first time doing something like this, so I ran with excitement, but the yellow guy’s expression was not good.
“That… Swearing at my co-workers is a bit….”
I really thought I was fainting when I heard this. No matter how he acted, Kim Si-woo’s favorability rating was not diminished. At least, I had to say that Kim Si-woo was doing a lot of nonsense, so the rate of his liking was slow.
Especially, he had a strange bad feeling towards yellow, so he behaved more like a dog. If the original story had been followed, there might have been a story to resolve this misunderstanding while dealing with the fiancé, but now the relationship is strangely twisted with only the result of getting rid of the fiancé.
“Uh… ? Uh oh yeah It’s kind of like when someone curses at their co-workers… Huh.”
I was a bit taken aback by the yellow guy’s words, but I quickly moved the subject.
“Kuhm! Ah, anyway, you are working hard too! I usually don’t give things to others, but I’ll give you a special glass of soju!”
“Eh… that’s a bit.”
Because of my filthy appearance, the yellow guy refused, avoiding me as if he couldn’t accept it hygienically.
No, it’s a disguise, it’s not really dirty! It hurts me to see a young girl look genuinely disliked.
“… I almost said! Why give this precious thing to someone else!”
I quickly covered the yellow guy’s words and drank the soju. Shwural.
The yellow one giggled a little, as if seeing me like that was funny.
Yellowy rose from her seat with her face more calmed down.
“Because I’m going to go now. Uncle, drink in moderation and go down. Drinking in a place like this is really dangerous.”
I thought you were going to commit suicide too, but I thought you would be worried on the contrary. I nodded at her words and shook her hand.
“Draw. Goodbye.”
“Foot! Is it so. Be well. Space Leap!”
The yellow one used her magic and disappeared in an instant. This time, I felt somehow blocked.
“Oh. It’s so hard to sleep. How long do I have to do this But since her demon lord summons aren’t far off, I’m sure it’ll work out somehow.”
A month after I said that.
I summoned the demon king and broke his head.
………………………
Siwoo got angry. Siu got angry. Siu got angry. Siu got angry. Siu got angry. Siu got angry. Siu got angry. Siu got angry. Siu got angry. Siu got angry.
How many times did you repeat it? Siwoo gets angry and I get depressed and go up to the roof of an abandoned building… Up? What did you do up there… ?
I just went up… I returned to the dormitory through space leap. What did you do on the roof? Did you just sit still? Was that enough for me? It was really hard, but once I went up on that roof, everything got better.
A space that was desolate and even frightening was so cozy to me.
It was the days when I tried to change Siwoo’s mind, and when it was difficult, I climbed the roof of an abandoned building.
Did God take pity on me like this? This moment, which seemed to last forever, began to change rapidly.
Monsters disappeared and abilities evaporated.
Then Siwoo collapsed.
I pretended to be a caregiver at the hospital and stayed for several days waiting for Siwoo to wake up.
A week later, Siwoo woke up and was really kind to me unlike before. I even felt like I was back in the old Siwoo.
Did my efforts pay off? Tears came out of joy.
Can we get a little closer to Siwoo now? I imagined various things and dreamed of a pink future.
“Damn it! Do some thinking with that smart head! I don’t know Han Yu-ri’s house address!”
It wasn’t long before I realized that those thoughts were false hopes. Siwoo, who thought he had calmed down, started to get angry again after the phone call with Yuri.
“Because I will go up first. Come up on your own!”
Siwoo abandoned me and went up alone in the elevator.
“Siwoo….”
Hey again… Siwoo… Why are you treating me so carelessly? Why don’t you pay any attention to me? Can’t you be a little gentle with me? Am I being too greedy? Shall I say that the sinful b*tch is ignorant of the subject?
-Kkadeuk
“No, this is my fault… What are you really thinking? Siu, I’m really sorry… ?”
Ah… It seems you’ve gotten a lot more comfortable these days. I have to follow Siwoo up quickly, but what are you doing here? Ahahahaha.
“I’ll be there right away….”
I took the elevator back down and pressed the 50th floor.
“Ha ha, whoa.”
You have to catch up. He held his trembling hand and closed his eyes.
– Fifty floors.
I opened my eyes to my heart’s content even just a little bit. Now let’s start again Don’t grumble and win Siwoo’s heart again….
Siwoo collapsed in front of the open door.
“… ?! Siwoo!!!”
I hurriedly ran to Siwoo to check his condition. I kept calling him to check his consciousness, but he didn’t answer properly, and he passed out with foam at his mouth.
It couldn’t have been this way. Thinking of the last time I collapsed, I didn’t know it might be really dangerous. I had to move to the hospital quickly.
I tried to lift Siu up and go to the elevator, but someone grabbed my arm and I couldn’t move.
“… ?! What? Yuri why… ?”
I hesitated at Yuri’s incomprehensible behavior, but thought of Siwoo and tried to move again. However, the other arm soon became immovable. It was because Anna unni appeared and grabbed my arm.
“Sister? What are you doing, Siwoo has collapsed!”
“Isn’t it the same as the previous one? This time, he was pissed off by himself and fell down over me?”
“… Sister?”
I got goosebumps at her sister’s ridiculed words. Until a few days ago, she was cold enough that I couldn’t even imagine that she was the older sister who took care of Siu with me.
They held onto my arms to keep me from sending me to the hospital, and wouldn’t let go.
‘Ugh! Why are you so strong!’
Both of them must have lost their abilities, but they were incredibly strong. I couldn’t resist it, so I even used a sleep magic, but it didn’t work at all. How the hell could this happen?
“… ? Why?”
“Sorry Maria. It’s all for you.”
With her sister’s words, she was dragged into her house. Ah… Seeu… I need to save….
…………… …..
“Siwoo Kim, whom you know and love, has long since disappeared from this world.”
The words I heard after being taken home were really strange. As for her strange words, the sentence itself was incomprehensible. What the hell are you talking about….
“… ? What the hell are you talking about, sister?”
My sister took a deep breath at my words and continued her words.
“Maria, think carefully. Siwoo Kim, the first person you met… And now Kim Si-woo… Didn’t you really feel it?”
My heart started beating fast. I felt like I could hear the thumping in my ears. Stop… stop!! It felt like I had touched something I should never have touched.
“What the hell… !!”
My sister keeps saying her strange things. Gotta shut that mouth. You dazzle me and make my hair weird!
“Siwoo Kim now… Is it really the Kim Si-woo you knew? Are the actions of Kim Si-woo now really the same as Kim Si-woo, who was with you for the first time in your academy life?”
Please, please stop. I know, so stop… !
I know Siwoo’s attitude has changed. But it’s all because of me. If I had done a little more properly, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s all my fault What my sister thinks is impossible.
It’s all because of me.
“Don’t be ridiculous! What is different about Siu!! People disappeared just because they changed their attitude!”
Siwoo has always been Siwoo. He was such a wonderful person who saved me even through my faults.
“But you remember too, right? Things that happened at the combat evaluation site.”
“The bodyguard man… ?”
At some point, Yuri’s bodyguard approached me and started talking to me. How did this person… ?
“How did Kim Si-woo, who was incompetent, come to have such strong power? Why did he treat you so badly?”
“… That!”
“Are you lucky enough to have the ability? Did you wake up in the morning? Even if it was possible with a hundred concessions, was the Kim Si-woo you knew someone whose personality would change just because he gained the ability?”
I still don’t know how Siwoo got his ability. But it could be. And Siwoo’s personality is all because of me….
“No. Siwoo is still… He became picky, but he helped me when I really needed it…. He saved me from being a prostitute! He got rid of that disgusting fiancé! Siwoo was Siwoo… !!”
Yeah, Siwoo saved me in the end. You saved this vicious and lacking me again!
“Siwoo Kim got rid of your fiancé?”
“Yes! Siwoo is my fiancé… !!”
“How?”
“… To?”
“Siwoo Kim. You. How. Did you help?”
“… !!”
I felt an electric current go up all over my body. Siwoo… How did you help me uh? How did your fiancé disappear? What? How did it go? Is it because it’s been so long I can’t remember?
I went through his memory and checked the events of the day over and over again.
… Uh? What? Why… ?
… Doesn’t exist?
I don’t remember how Siwoo helped me.
It’s not that I can’t remember, it’s that I don’t remember. Just no does this make sense?
My head began to ache like crazy in an incomprehensible situation.
“Ah… Oh my gosh…. Woo-wook.”
Help me Siwoo. I’m going crazy, no more nightmares like this… !! Save me one more time… !
… But Siwoo never helped me… ?
Again? No You didn’t do anything in the first place.
Who the hell are you asking for help? Stupid Maria?
“Ha ha ha… lie… It is a lie. I don’t have Siwoo… ? To?”
I barely managed to hold on to my head as if it was going to explode.
– Took
I felt someone grab my shoulder…. Who is this? Please help me… !!
I turned my head to ask for help and checked who it was.
The person who caught me was a soldier, a businessman, a neighborhood man, an instructor, a manager, a merchant, a cleaner, a civil servant, a teacher, a building owner, a security guard, and a homeless man.
… Under?
At that moment, dozens of memories began to overlap. A lot of people I met on the rooftop… No one remembered
All different memories, but the same person.
People who came to my side at some point and helped me… Was a person
It comes to mind. Why was that rooftop so comfortable… Why was he able to endure those painful days?
But why do you…
“You… here how… ?”
It was such a strange and miraculous thing. Are you here to help me again? I didn’t do anything, but I couldn’t say thank you properly.
‘Ah….’
I closed my eyes at the comfort I felt again after a long time.
………………
It felt like my whole body was floating.
Memories that once started to emerge began to bring up forgotten moments without thinking about stopping.
Things that happened on the roof start to come to mind one by one. Every moment of conversation with him began to settle in my brain again.
How should I call this person? Every time we meet, we call each other by different names, so I don’t know what to call them.
Uncle… ? That one? Bodyguard? What was your name? Did you say Jeong Dae-hyun? So what about Daehyun?
Something didn’t stick to my mouth. Do you want something better?
… You?
It doesn’t sound too friendly and it’s a high-pitched word, so it’s appropriate?
You… I was able to live thanks to you. I’m really sorry that you forgot that memory from the rooftop. From now on, I won’t forget it again and remember….
…Remember… ?
Ah… AA AA AA.
[Please remember.]
aaa!!!!!
“aaa!!!!!”
I screamed and opened my eyes, and the feeling of floating that enveloped my body disappeared and I realized that I was lying on the bed. And in front of my eyes he was sitting on a chair.
“Oh. Wake up gorgeous Are you okay?”
I couldn’t answer him. AA AA AA…. You crazy b*tch, how the hell can you forget that?
“Uh… ? Wait what are you doing? What are you crying about?”
Apologe… I have to apologize. Tell me soon! What are you doing…!!
“… Sorry.”
“What?”
“I’m sorry I forgot…” Kkeuk… Sorry for the stupid b*tch… Ugh… !!”
