“By the way, are the kids okay? I saw the video on the news of them going into the ER, and since they all looked pretty badly injured, I was worried.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At my words, Yeon Ha-yeon and Do I-hyun’s expressions noticeably darkened.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I furrowed my brows in concern, waiting for their response while silently watching their lips, wondering if it was serious—but then came an unexpected answer.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I don’t even know if I can call this ‘okay’…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“They all have at least one hole in their stomach or leg, but they’re living like the hospital is their own home. The three of them got really close, and they’re getting along like a charm.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just thinking about it made Yeon Ha-yeon look exhausted as she pressed her fingers against the corners of her eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It seemed like she had been thoroughly tormented by the three during her hospital visit.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Oh, so the three of them got that close.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Apparently, they were sharing the same hospital room and quickly bonded, but I couldn’t imagine how their hospital stay was going to make them react like that.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It didn’t take long to find out.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Since the association had brought it up, we all decided to visit them together after the meeting.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So as soon as the meeting ended, I rushed straight to the hospital, but…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hey! Attack, attack!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ah, wait! I think my wound reopened!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Stop whining, damn it. I know it’s not reopened.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Why on earth were they having a pillow fight in the hospital room…?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Glancing to the side, Yeon Ha-yeon and Do I-hyun were watching them with vacant eyes as if they were used to this kind of situation, then quickly averted their gaze.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That’s when it happened.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Blood started to seep through Yeon Hyung-gwang’s patient gown, who had just raised both hands in surrender, saying his wound had reopened.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What the—? His wound really reopened! Someone call a Doctor!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As the pure white patient gown gradually turned red, Haemalkum, who had been swinging his pillow with all his might, stopped in shock and shouted at us.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
We had come worried, thinking they must be in a lot of pain from their injuries.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Their expressions say otherwise.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I even saw one of them wearing the look of “Why did I even come here?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Do I-hyun let out a quiet sigh and went to call a Doctor.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The moment Yeon Ha-yeon’s expression turned ominous, we immediately distanced ourselves from her. It was instinctual.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A deadly aura soon radiated from Yeon Ha-yeon.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her gaze locked onto Haemalkum and Kang Ye-dam with precise intent.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Startled, they quietly set down the pillows in their hands—but it was already too late.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just how intense must that pillow fight have been for Yeon Hyung-gwang’s wound to reopen?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What are you two doing right now?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yeon Ha-yeon’s chilling voice cooled the atmosphere in the hospital room like winter had come to this place alone.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her fierce glare descended upon Haemalkum and Kang Ye-dam.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thud—
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Sorry! Sorry!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“We were just trying to play around; we didn’t think the wound would open!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
They looked ready to kneel immediately, but probably because of their leg injuries, they couldn’t bend their knees and instead bowed deeply at the waist, begging for forgiveness.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Nuna, I’m fine. It was just playing with the guys.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yeon Hyung-gwang seemed deeply moved by how his sister was worried and scolding him like this.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But Yeon Ha-yeon’s glare remained fierce even when she looked at him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You’re the same. How can someone with injuries fight pillows that hard?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Sorry.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In the end, it was an apology from all three.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Who is it this time? What kind of patient?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The sound of footsteps approached quickly, and a Doctor hurriedly opened the door and came in. Judging by the weary expression as he asked, this wasn’t the first time he had encountered such a situation.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Everyone had worn worried expressions before entering the room, but now—
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘It’s icy cold.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A chill now lingered in the air of the hospital room. ***
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Still, I’m glad it’s only this bad.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In front of the vending machine in the hospital lobby.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Using the excuse of grabbing drinks, I slipped away from the hospital room and, with a heavy heart, began selecting beverages to bring to my friends one by one.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Clatter—
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As I bent down to collect the drinks after the cans fell in succession, I noticed a heavily wounded hand sliding over.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Let’s carry these together.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Do I-hyun, who seemed to have also escaped from the hospital room, gathered some drinks.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Right after coming out of the S-rank Gate, I had been busy these past few days running around with Ban Eun-hyeol, so this was the first time we were having a one-on-one conversation.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I had texted him asking if he was okay, and he replied that he was, but that was all.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It seemed like he wanted to meet in person, but my parents had forbidden me from leaving the house for a week, so it was impossible.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Calling Do I-hyun over to my house was also awkward.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He straightened up after collecting the drinks and looked me over carefully, his black eyes scanning me as if to check whether I had any injuries.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’m fine. I didn’t even see any monsters.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I shrugged to assure him I was okay, and only then did his stiff expression relax a bit.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“But you saw something else.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I glanced around and took Do I-hyun to a spot where there was no one nearby.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then, together with Ban Eun-hyeol, I honestly shared what I had experienced.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Since he was one of the two people who knew my true identity, it was important to tell him these crucial details quickly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘…You went to the original dimension?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Do I-hyun frowned, confirming if he had heard right after listening to my story.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I nodded and summarized the conversation I had with Lee Dan-ah in that other dimension.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ah, so your souls were switched.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He had thought I was the only one possessed, but when I told him the original body’s owner, Lee Dan-ah, was living in that dimension, he answered lifelessly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Though Do I-hyun didn’t seem curious about anything involving Lee Dan-ah at all.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Feeling a little embarrassed for spilling everything so urgently, I continued.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“So Ban Eun-hyeol went to get you, huh?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yeah. After defeating the boss monster, I guess he was given the option to teleport dimensions as a reward. When he saw that I crossed dimensions, he came to my place.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…I could have gone too.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Muttering with a hint of regret, he looked down before lifting his eyes back to me.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“So, have you completely cut ties with that other dimension?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yeah. I’m trying to live thinking of this body as mine now. Lee Dan-ah is doing fine over there.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You’ve decided to stay here permanently?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“For now, yeah, but I’m not sure if the system fully understood our intention. It would be troublesome if I’m forced to dimension-hop again.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“If that happens, I’ll go.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He popped open a can of soda and handed it to me, speaking as confidently as Ban Eun-hyeol did when he promised to find me no matter what.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“So don’t worry about a thing.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His confidence was just as reckless as mine.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Alright! I’ll trust only you.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
We clinked our cans and finished them neatly while talking, then gathered the drinks to give to our friends.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just as I was walking back to the hospital room, holding the cans now slick with condensation,
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Give those here.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ban Eun-hyeol, who had been leaning against the hospital room door unnoticed, spotted us and came over.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
All the drinks I was carrying ended up in Ban Eun-hyeol’s arms.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just as he was about to walk ahead, he paused, then started backing up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Without hesitation, he slipped between Do I-hyun and me, standing right beside me.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Huh.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I heard Do I-hyun’s breath of disbelief beside me.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Here we go again.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I wondered when I’d ever see those two get along properly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Shaking my head, I quickened my pace to put some distance between us, though they caught up quickly. ***
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Senior year of high school really is a tough time.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I just want to close Gates and live quietly…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After barely surviving an S-rank Gate, and then having to deal with midterms and mock exams!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ugh, let’s study. We have to get into the same university, right?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As soon as I slumped over the desk, Yeon Ha-yeon’s soft scolding came from behind.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She couldn’t stand me giving up so easily.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I don’t want to go to university…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I stubbornly sat up, whining, causing my chair to wobble.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Yeon Ha-yeon kept nudging the chair with her foot from behind, making it feel like an earthquake was happening.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just as I surrendered and was about to raise my head to look back at my workbook,
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Huh? You’re nosebleeding.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At Yeon Ha-yeon’s words, I turned to see Eun Bada’s nose bleeding.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“How much have you studied?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’ve been overdoing it because of midterms.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I’ve seen you get nosebleeds occasionally, but lately it’s been pretty frequent.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Eun Bada had been having nosebleeds quite often recently.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
We all knew he studied hard, but this frequency made me wonder if something was seriously wrong.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He hurriedly pinched his nose with a tissue but smiled as if it was nothing.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’s nothing serious. Everyone studies.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He said casually and quickly went back to his workbook.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
We exchanged worried looks behind his back.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Does anyone know why Eun Bada is like this?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘He’s always obsessed with grades, so it’s no surprise.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Bada’s been having nosebleeds a lot lately. ㅠㅠ’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Looks serious recently—maybe he’s under pressure at home?’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
‘Someone needs to tell him to stop passing notes during class.’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After passing notes with Ban Eun-hyeol, Han Ji-bin, Gang Jihan, and Yeon Ha-yeon without Eun Bada noticing, we came to one conclusion:
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Eun Bada was under intense pressure over his grades.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I had just thought of him as a diligent model student, but the little tidbit Han Ji-bin casually slipped to me and Yeon Ha-yeon was quite shocking.
