Chapter 357: 357
Chapter 357 Cha Jeong-woo (3)
Team: HH, Yahiko, thursdays (2/10)
That instant, light exploded .
Countless letters scattered and wrapped around the world of Yeon-woo and Jeong-woo .
Hwaak!
Beep .
Beep beep .
I was extremely dizzy .
I didn’t even drink, but why was I so dizzy?
Drink?
Wait . Did I ever drink before? I did secretly buy a bottle of soju with Hyung on my last birthday, but that was it . Since he said he didn’t like it, I never drank more after that sip .
No .
I’ve drunk all night with Valdebich before .
We learned that Henova was fermenting beer in the alcohol cellar and snuck in secretly at night . It was so good that we ended up emptying five oak barrels .
Although, we ended up getting beat up by Henova’s pipe because we passed out there .
Still, it was worth it . Ah, I’m drooling just thinking about it now . Is there any way I can get it again? It seemed like Henova was secretly fermenting it somewhere else . Should I take a look around?
But wait .
Henova? Who is that?
Thoughts that I couldn’t make sense of filled my head .
Did I have a strange dream?
Unfamiliar names appeared and disappeared in my head . So did multiple memories . There were some holes in them, and they were so completely dismembered that it was hard to tell what they were about, but they felt vivid like they happened yesterday .
I was glad, happy, anxious, depressed, sad, and grim at the end… . . like I saw a sad movie .
But the jumbled memories quickly scattered, like how dreams suddenly vanished when you wake up . All the scenes were swept away like sandcastles on the beach .
“… . . What is this?”
I rubbed my temples, opening my eyes . I could see a neat desk and books stained with spit . There was a notebook with a pen lying next to it . I guess I fell asleep while I had been studying all night .
What were all those memories?
They felt important, but I couldn’t remember what they were no matter how hard I tried . I frowned, trying to remember them again somehow .
Beep . Beep .
My alarm clock rang noisily, pulling me back to reality . The headache that was pushing against my head disappeared like it was never there .
No .
I didn’t even recognize it was gone .
07:32
“……S*** . ”
School began at 8 .
I was late .
The strange memories were already gone from my head .
“Whew! I barely made it . ”
“Dang, what? You made it?”
“Of course . Hehe, who do you think I am?”
“D*** . They’re directly discriminating against us now . It’s a sad world to live in for people who can’t study . ”
The high school classroom was bustling today, too, because it was an all-boys school filled with gross, sweaty guys .
Rumble . They must’ve been playing a game of piling up on each other or something somewhere because some chubby dude slipped on the floor .
The desks and chairs around him fell down like dominos .
The kids whose books and snacks fell to the ground cursed as they stepped on the chubby guy .
It was a nest full of beasts and confusion .
S*** .
I didn’t know I would come back here . Still, I had been a bit glad to come back here since it had been a while, but it felt like all those feelings vanished at once . What should I do about these heated beast bastards?
……Huh?
It had been a while?
I came here in the classroom yesterday, but what was I thinking? I pressed my temples again and got rid of the strange feelings I had . This was all because of my headache this morning .
“What’s wrong? Does your head hurt?”
My friend asked with a concerned face . He had been joking around just a moment ago . We became close because we were in the same class in freshman year . His name was… . . huh? What was his name again?
“Do you wanna go to the nurse… . . ?”
“I’m fine . Good . And don’t tell Hyung . He’s gonna nag me again . ”
I waved my hand .
I was sick frequently since I was young and suffered from colds all the time .
Now, I was better and only got headaches, but I was still careful because of my genetic susceptibility .
Mom was often sick, too . Doctors said the symptoms we had were hard to diagnose with modern medicine . They said it should be reported to the field or something? Thankfully, we were able to use that for my mom’s hospital bills, but it was still a horrendous disease .
“But I think you should tell Yeon-woo… . . ”
“It’s fine . I know my body best . I can just endure it for a bit and I’ll be good . Also, if I bring the guy who’s probably getting beat up in front of the school gates, I’ll be the bad guy . ”
Unlike me, who was weak to no end, Hyung was super healthy . Even though we were identical twins, he didn’t suffer from any of the rare symptoms and was athletic . He also got into fights all the time . Thanks to that, he was marked as a problem child by teachers and was corporally punished by them .
He was so different from me, who was classified as a model student, so he was pretty famous in our school .
Even though I had rushed over, I was 10 minutes late, but teachers let me off the took .
My brother, who had arrived 5 minutes later than me, was mercilessly beaten with a stick in front of the school by the dean of students .
He was probably grinding his teeth while getting furiously beat up right now .
I snuck out of the house this morning even though I knew we were late .
Today, I planned on avoiding him .
He shouldn’t have eaten my mango jellies in the refrigerator without my permission .
I felt refreshed after taking revenge .
Well, it was a bit cowardly, but there was nothing else I could do .
I couldn’t defeat him with strength, so this was my only option .

“Then that’s a relief . Anyways, if you can’t hang in there, tell me right away . Don’t just faint like last time . F*** . The back of my head was hit my Yeon-woo so many times that it’s flat now . ”
My friend grumbled as he shook his head . Right, he was also a victim of my brother’s temper .
It was pitiful .
I should be nicer to him .
“Our Hyung is a bit like that, hm?”
“You brothers are the same . ”
I frowned at what he said .
I was still better than my brother .
No . I couldn’t even be compared to him .
How could he compare me to that schizophrenic?
“The older one beats people up when he’s bored, and the younger one mocks people with his mouth . What’s the difference?”
“Looks? Don’t I have better looks?”
I was someone who received confessions from girls although I went to an all-boys high school, sucker .
“This son of a… . . ! Argh! Let’s just not . ”
My friend sighed . Just then, the bell for first period rang .
Although he always complained, he was a gracious guy who took care of us brothers the best .
A tsundere .
He was like Henova .
… . . Henova? Another strange name popped in my head . It seemed like a name I missed . I didn’t remember anything at all . Why? Was it the name of some philosopher?
I thought to myself, looking at my friend who was returning to his seat .
But really, what was his name again?
[Our poor schizo] Hey, you son of a b**** . You’re dead . Really .
[Me] Hmmm?
[Our poor schizo] Would it hurt you to wake me up?
[Me] Huh?
[Our poor schizo] The f*** .
[Me]
[Our poor schizo] Shut up . Before you get f***ed over .
[Me]
[Our poor schizo] I told you to stop sending weird stuff .
[Me] (cat emoticon with desperate eyes and paws gathered)
[Our poor schizo] I’ll really teach you what happens if you mess with me .
[Me] Huuuuuh?
[Our poor schizo] AHHHHHH%[email protected]#[email protected]#
“Geez . He really can’t argue for the life of him . ”

I grinned, looking at the curse-filled messages . Seeing as how the messages kept on scrolling up, he seemed pretty mad . He was probably super frustrated because the messages were marked as read but there was no response .
“Ahhhham . ”
Class was so boring that I yawned .
As seniors, we knew everything that was being taught . Classes were only conducted for grades, and with the college entrance exams coming up, most of us just used class time to study .
Teachers didn’t say anything about students who were solving problems from prep books on their own .
I could get away with using my phone . Of course, if the teacher noticed me on my phone too much, he would take it away, but if I apologized, he would just give it back .
This was why the reputation of a model student was important . I was already learning how to act in society .
I thought about getting a prep book out to study like my other classmates, but strangely, I didn’t feel like it .
I’ve felt like this since the morning .
Like I was missing something .
What was I missing? It seemed important… . .
No matter how much I revisited my memories, I couldn’t remember anything .
I was sitting blankly at my desk with my phone all day .
I felt strange, and I studied a lot until now, so I thought a day of slacking off wouldn’t hurt .
Of course, after lunch, I planned on clearing my head and holding my pen again .
Urrng, urrg—
Just then, the phone in my hand suddenly vibrated . I was just about to download a game .
(Ad) You can make a wish if you reach the end of the Obelisk .
Would you like to participate?
YES or No?
“This again . ”
It was the spam message that I got everyday .
It was annoying because I blocked it, but it came back with another number . Now, it was almost interesting how I got the same message with the same information and the same time for about a month .
‘Obelisk . ’
A monument to worship a god or mark the history of a victory .
However, here, it seemed like it was talking about a “tower . ”
A standard game ad .
The problem was that where it said “Yes or No,” there was no ad link .
There wasn’t any button to download the game even if I wanted to . Did they want me to play or not?
I didn’t know what the message wanted me to do .
Urrng, urrrng—
My phone vibrated again . It was another text . After seeing the sender, my face stiffened .
Father
I deleted the message right away without reading it . It was obvious what it would be about . The day Hyung found out I was in contact with this person… . . bad things would happen .
There was a big difference between my brother being jokingly mad and really mad .
He was so cold that he felt like another person . And it was clear what would happen after that . I didn’t want to see it .

Was there really nothing to do?
I scanned through social media, and after that, I really didn’t have anything to do .
I still felt strange, but it was better than this morning, so I put my phone down and lifted my pen again .
No matter what I did, I still had to study .
I couldn’t give up my grades or the college entrance exams . Getting into a prestigious college with a four-year scholarship . Then, joining a munitions company instead of doing the regular soldier duties to earn some money for my family and immediately working at a big company after that .
It was the future I dreamed of . Taking care of my sick mother and creating a family was my dream . There was no time for rest .
I was about to go through my prep book when my phone vibrated again .
I thought it was a message again, so I was about to turn it off, but it was a call .
The moment I saw the sender, my heart skipped a beat .
Hospital
“It happened suddenly while she was getting better…… haaa . Since the urgent issue was taken care of now, let’s watch her and see what happens . ”
After the physician left, I looked at my mom blankly .
Beep—
Beep—
She was breathing through an oxygen mask . No one would be able to believe that she had been joking with us yesterday . She didn’t look good at all .
“I’ll be back after some fresh air . ”
I didn’t listen to my brother’s response and left the hospital room with wobbly steps .
I felt like all the energy left my body . Why did I feel so dizzy since this morning?
Urrng, urrng—
Just then, my back pocket vibrated . I blankly pulled out my phone .
(Ad) You can make a wish if you reach the end of the Obelisk .
Would you like to participate?
YES or NO?
Even though it was a spam message I saw all the time, it was particularly conspicuous because it came at a different time .
One word stood out the most .
Wish .
It would be nice if it wasn’t just a game ad and was something that appeared in movies or novels .
If I could really make a wish and heal my mother’s mysterious disease, I would want nothing more .
I tapped the screen, trying to calm down .
Just then, the “Yes or No” section turned blue . There was a link connected to him .
I found myself clicking the “yes” button .
