Chapter 151 - We still exist in this world (1/2)
Si An can bȧrėly move. Even if it's the dream realm, it hurts like each bone has been broken. Kyuri lets him lean on her. ”Who told you to play the hero?”
”The hero is him.” Kang Si An glares at the Keeper. ”If you had something like that, why didn't you give it to us?”
”Because it was Kyuri's task to separate Hong Yi Hwan and Ahn Hana. I could interfere only after they were separated. Those were the rules.” The Keeper is cleansing the miasma from the room - the last of Hong Yi Hwan. ”Ahn Hana's soul is weak, but she will live. I have already sent it back to her body.”
”Stupid rules.” Kang Si An can't even straighten his back. ”Why does it hurt so much?”
”Your soul is strong. Otherwise, you would have been dead by now.” The Keeper crosses his arms and looks at them. ”I am leaving for now. I will return when there's a new task. Both of you should be prepared for that time.”
”Wait!” Kyuri jumps on her feet. ”There will be more?”
”I told you that Ahn Hana was the first one.” The Keeper raises his brow. ”Do you ever listen carefully? You don't have good control in the dream realm either. You better train before I come back. It might be more difficult next time.”
”I take that both of you will miss me.” The Keeper chuckles when he sees their pale expressions. ”Goodbye until then. I hope that both of you will appreciate life and peace until I come back.”
The Keeper doesn't let them complain. He sends them back to their bodies. He sighs and mumbles to himself, ”I will ask the higher up to give me a human life next time when she's reborn again.”
Kang Si An might have won this time. But the Keeper will meet her in her next life as a human being.
When Kang Si An opens his eyes, he finds himself next to Kyuri at Do Sejin's house. He checks on Kyuri who slowly opens her eyes. She's tired after using her ability. The dream realm exhausts a lot of energy.
”Are you feeling okay?” Kang Si An notices how pale she is. ”Let's go to the hospital.”
”I am fine. We need to check on Ahn Hana first.”
