The Hero
Volume 7 - Chapter 16
Volume 7 – Disjunction
Chapter 16
JoonSung was JoonYoung’s younger brother by three years. Haneul remembered that, when he used to visit JoonYoung during junior high, they would often play with JoonSung as well.
However, that wasn’t the important part at this moment.
In this world, JoongSung had died in place of JoonYoung.
‘Did something go wrong again?’
There was no other way to put it except that. No matter how much Haneul rubbed his eyes, the name on the plate still said JoonSung.
JoonSung had died rather than JoonYoung.
Haneul tried to pretend to be as normal as possible.
“Is JoonYoung…….well?”
“Yeah, he is. He’s alright now. Rather, he seems to be a lot more active recently. To see you asking me such a question. I guess, you guys aren’t in contact anymore…….. You guys used to play so well together in the past.”
“It just happened to be this way.”
“Yeah, JoonYoung is currently working as a Hero in the 3rd district. It seems like he recently got a new assignment out in the special district, so he seems to be living in Central right now. I’ll give you his number, so give him a call.”
Haneul opened his eyes wide.
JoonYoung is alive. Not only that, but he’s also a Hero?
Haneul could not remember the conversation that had happened after this point.
When he had come to his senses, JoonYoung’s mother was already gone, and Haneul was left alone at the same spot.
‘JoonYoung isn’t dead. He’s alive in this world.’
Haneul wanted to meet JoonYoung immediately. However, he did not know what to talk about with him. His memories and the memories of JoonYoung were different.
After clearing his mind, Haneul visited his father once more, then headed towards the National Cemetery.
“It’s going to be grave #422.”
“Thank you.”
This was the place that proved that Black Walker lived his life as a Hero. Although it was difficult to explain his life with a few words, this place only had basic information. How many times Black Walker participated in a rift, and how many civilians he had saved.
Haneul stood in front of Black Walker.
“I honestly don’t know how many amazing people are buried here. I don’t know their names, nor do I know what they have done. However, you are different. You are an existence that is different to the others. Black Walker, you are the index and opportunity to my life in this world.”
Black Walker had known.
The last rift that he had participated in, was something way out of his league. But, even still, he had fought with everything he had for his mission.
To follow his mission as a Hero.
It was stupid.
If he had known that his abilities were low, it would’ve been fine for him to step back a little.
“I don’t think I’ll ever find a Hero as stupid as you. To place your life in front of another to save them. There’s no one else like that in this world.”
Haneul clenched his fist, and the tip of his nose twitched. The more he felt the weight of being a Hero, and the more he gauged his own life against another’s, he understood.
He understood how sacred Black Walker’s sacrifice was, and how much courage he needed to have to do what he did.
Suddenly, someone appeared beside him.
“He didn’t do it to get recognition. It was his calling, and the reason for his existence in this world. He wanted to do things that he normally couldn’t do, and he didn’t care if anyone recognized him for it. He was that type of Hero, and the figure that he was aiming for.”
Haneul turned his head.
An only lady in her mid-fifties, was gently smiling.
“We meet again.”
Haneul deeply lowered his head. It was a face that he would never forget. It was the person that had told him what type of person Black Walker was.
It was Black Walker’s mother.
