Periel ave up onany further sarcastic reet frazzled and frantically come here”
“If that was your intention, sir, you’ve succeeded”
“It’s regrettable that I couldn’t see it with reet hih and introduced Chi-Woo “I was the one who brought hireatly emphasized the ‘I’ part in his sentence
“Is that so? That person is…” Periel raised his listened He looked at Chi-Woo like he was looking at a newly discovered ancient ruin
“You’re well aware of hiht?”
“Yes, of course I know him very well After all, he was the only person born in the G-S-3-E’s Choi Family in 10 years, after Sir Chi-Hyun,” Perielhi My nael back and felt intense pressure because he didn’t know the exact reason why Periel was being so polite to hih Chi-Woo said his name several seconds later, Periel did not seem to mind at all; instead, Periel looked extremely touched
“Sir, now that I look at you like this, it feels very strange It seems just like yesterday when the entire Celestial Realm held their breaths when you were born…”
They saw hi born? This instantly piqued his interest, but Periel looked completely i
“How is it going inside?” At Giant Fist’s question, Periel cahtly stiff “It’s not very good”
“Not very good? Did she intervene or soe for her to not know about his presence when you caused such a scene”
“damn it Did I cause too one in”
“It can’t be helped,” Periel quietly added “She would have known as soon as you two entered”
Words that Chi-Woo couldn’t understand at all passed between them
“So What should I do?”
“Sir, wait…” Periel lowered his voice and ca so to each other, but Chi-Woo couldn’t hear what they were saying If everything so far had been real, there was so Giant Fist desperately wanted from him—
which was to help his older brother There were angels like Periel ere supportive of Chi-Woo entering the Celestial Realels who did not want him to enter When the conversation between Periel and Giant Fist see, Giant Fist pondered for a bit and turned to Chi-Woo
Giant Fist asked Chi-Woo, “Sir, would you be able to wait here for a bit? There’s just one thing I need to take care of”
‘As expected, are things not working out?’ Clearly there were co out as Giant Fist hoped It wouldn’t be a bad idea to cooperate with Giant Fist for now, since it was better for both of them if he quietly watched the situation unfold
Chi-Woo answered, “Yes But do I have to wait here?”
“Of course not”
“Sir, there’s a waiting room” Periel immediately added onto Giant Fist’s words With just a flick of his hand, Perial created a portal in the air After seeing this multiple times, Chi-Woo was now less surprised
Periel continued, “Sir, since we prepared the waiting room to match the conditions on Earth asGiant Fist and Rising will be coo with Sir Chi-Woo first I have so”
“Sir, if you’re going to co for you here”
“I’ll be back soon Let’s go in, Sir Chi-Woo”
With Giant Fist’s guidance, Chi-Woo pushed his body towards the portal He was still not used to the feeling of the portal passing through his whole body as lights flickered
After a while
“Woah” Chi-Woo let out his admiration He admitted that the place he was in was somewhere you could possibly see on Earth
‘But this is a bit…’ It was the first time he saw such a luxurious penthouse It would be inadequate to sier than most stadiums After he looked around, Chi-Woo moved towards the terrace to check the outside scenery He could only see clouds outside the s
“Sir, you just have to wait here” Chi-Woo heard Giant Fist say “It’s also the exclusive waiting roo rooe Only people from the Choi family can use it, but people who are invited can also enter it” Giant Fist see that he had come here several times before, and then he intently looked at Chi-Woo “Sir, you proive me a chance to convince you” Giant Fist continued as if he aiting to say this all along “It’s tilanced around their surroundings and let out a deep sigh “Without further ado, please look around this place,” Giant Fist spoke with slight melancholy in his voice
Chi-Woo scratched his head “Are you saying that you’ll be keeping your pro me look around this place?”
“Sir, what did I say this place was?”
“The Choi Fa room…Ah”
“The only person who recently used this room was Sir Chi-Hyun If you’re his family, you would definitely find traces of his presence”
“…I’ll try looking around”
“Yes, please do so I’ll come back as soon as possible, so please just wait a bit”
“I think you can co It’ll take me a while to look everywhere”
“Thank you Then, please excuse me” At Chi-Woo’s reply, Giant Fist made a relieved face and turned away
Once Giant Fist disappeared into the portal, Chi-Woo began looking around the large waiting room, which he wondered if he should even call it a ‘rooht his eyes The shape of the door knob looked fa in?’
When Chi-Woo carefully turned the door knob and went into the room, his eyes opened wide
‘This is…’ The room looked familiar to him The bed, pillow, blanket, books, and h Chi-Woo only saw a fraction of the rooe sense of déjà vu When he saw the various pictures posted on the wall, Chi-Woo realized the reason for his déjà vu The child shtly in the pictures was none other than Chi-Woo himself Most of the pictures were of Chi-Hyun and Chi-Woo, and there were some pictures of their parents as well From the left, he saw his brother’s childhood pictures froarten and elementary school He also saw his baby picture His brother’s pictures ended after he graduated from elementary school, and from then on, there were only pictures of him
Chi-Woo stared at the pictures for a while and let out a sh He could finally understand who had used this roo in the room for a while, Chi-Woo turned and left the roo the different roo he saas a bed, a closet, and one desk The room was desolate and empty, and it could even be described as bleak There was only one person who he knew that had only the most necessary items in their personal room
‘Chi-Hyun’
Chi-Woo took a few steps inside and opened the closet There weren’t a lot of clothes; it was instead filled with snacks Snacks that could be bought in the convenience store were piled up together
“…” Chi-Woo recalled an old memory as he saw the snacks It was probably when he was around seven or eight years old His brother had returned home for a short while, but he said he had to leave soon and made preparations to leave, one of which was to buy snacks he enjoyed eating and fill his closet with snacks without eating them When Chi-Woo saw the snacks, he had childishly pestered his brother to give hily, his brother had firive the the snacks while he was gone In the end, their parents had thrown Chi-Woo a few snacks after he kept crying and harassing they He has so much Why can’t he share?]
And then, what had his brother said in reply?
[It’s not because I can’t share them It’s because I want to come back]
[I can’t eat snacks like this over there]
[When I get tired soth]
[It’s because I want to eat them I know; it’s ridiculous]
And Chi-Woo recalled the last words his brother had said
[You’re able to eat them whenever you want to]
Why did he suddenly think of these words? When he was young, he couldn’t understand his brother’s words When he got older, he had thought that his brother had gone to a very strict dormitory He had believed his parents’ explanation But if all he saw today were true…
Chi-Woo closed the closet He didn’t knohy but…he didn’t want to look at the snacks anymore Anyway, he now understood Giant Fist’s words He could definitely find traces of his family in this room and his parent’s room Chi-Woo still had been partly skeptical of this whole situation, but it was slowly beco more real It was at that moment
—Hey…! Wait…!
He heard a sound from far away Chi-Woo pricked his ears up, but the sound was quickly getting louder It hen he realized that the sound was of a wo open A foot covered by white robes stepped inside
