Chapter 110: Why did you do that then?
Chapter 110 < Why did you do that then? >
Yeon Seo, do you want to try solving this?
I already did.
Already? Wow
He looked up and saw a stranger holding out a problem in front of him. Judging by the size of his hand, he had written down a problem that was much harder than his age group, with clumsy handwriting. He smiled broadly.
He glanced at the thing that the other person asked him to memorize, and looked at his toy, wondering if this test was boring.
I already memorized everything Cant I play?
You memorized everything?
Yes!
You remember all of this?
Why?
Doesnt everyone do this? He recited the things he was asked to memorize with an innocent face. The other person was surprised and opened his eyes wide. And after a few more advanced tests, the other person concluded.
You are a genius, sir.
My Yeon Seo?
Well, not as much as the first son, but the second son is also extraordinary, thats for sure. Congratulations.
Yoo Gunmin looked at his son, who was sitting on his lap and playing with a toy, with pride. He turned his head and looked at Ihee-seo.
Honey, our kid is a genius again.
Should I be happy or not
Of course its good news!
Ihee-seo sighed softly at Yoo Gunmins joyful voice. She was worried that he would grow up spoiled, receiving the attention of Chairman Yoo since he was young.
Did I do well?
Yes, you did.
Ihee-seos face was still twitching. But she seemed to be smiling brightly.
As if blinking, the screen turned black, and the place soon became Chairman Yoos mansion.
Both of them are geniuses.
Chairman, you must be happy.
The whispers of the servants.
Oh my! My grandson is a genius again!
And Chairman Yoo lifted Yeon Seo high and flew him like an airplane. The childs laughter filled the mansion with energy.
Its all thanks to you.
What did I do, I just gave birth
What do you mean! Theres no way that two geniuses would come out of that stupid guy. Its all thanks to our daughter-in-law.
Chairman Yoo smirked at his son. Yeeunho was reading a difficult book that was not suitable for his age, and asking Yoo Gunmin something. Yoo Gunmin was smiling sheepishly with his facial muscles relaxed.
Well, I have something to give you. Lets see a stake in Juseong Industries
Dad! You dont have to
Or, how about I give you a subsidiary? You said you had something you wanted to do, right? Ill support you fully.
There were many rumors about Ihee-seos accident, but unlike that, Chairman Yoo sincerely cherished his daughter-in-law.
What do you want to be when you grow up, Yeon Seo?
I want to be like mom!
Yeah? Do you like mom that much?
Hee-seo hugged her son, who was nodding his head so hard that his body shook.
A happy sensation rose from the vicinity of his temple at the warmth of her embrace.
But the happy memory didnt last long. His vision went dark for a moment, and before he knew it, the young Yeon Seo had grown up into a fine adult who was throwing things in the office of Han, the representative.
Yeon Seo, please, lets go nicely. Replacing the director is really nonsense.
Han, who had dark circles under his eyes, clung to Yeon Seo almost pleadingly.
Shit, I paid for it and the work was made because of me. What is he going to do?
Please, Yeon Seo. You cant do anything about the director, can you?
Hes the one who started the fight, and you want me to just take it?
Why are you bringing him up? Im pissed off because I dont remember him well. His stomach boiled with anger at the thought of the director who had insulted him.
I had such a good memory, but I dont remember?
Yeon Seo, who was synchronizing his memory, felt a doubt. Did he have a problem with his memory after witnessing what happened to Hee-seo?
Hey, Yeon Seo. Im really doing this for your sake. Just let it go this once. Should I kneel down and beg you?
I dont know! Do whatever you want!
Yeon Seo was lost in thought because of the figure that was swaying above Han. He had brought his car, but he felt like he would cause an accident if he drove in the state of seeing a phantom.
Shit!
He came home by taxi and threw the ornaments on the dresser roughly.
Why are you doing this to me!
He shouted loudly at the two legs in the air. He grabbed the nearby objects and threw them, screaming until his throat was dry. Please disappear. But the phantom didnt disappear.
Ah
Then he felt a strong pain in his head that he had never felt before. Yeon Seo, who was causing a commotion, remembered the past he had forgotten.
Where is this
This must be a memory within a memory.
Thats when.
It was the mansion of his grandfather that he always saw in his childhood, but he couldnt forget the atmosphere. It was the very day that Hee-seo died.
The adults gathered and talked about something he couldnt understand, his brother was absorbed in a book, and he couldnt have fun with the other cousins. The young Yeon Seo, who felt bored, picked up a toy and got up from his seat.
When Yeon Seo went out to the garden and headed to the annex, someone called him.
Son.
He was strange. Everyone called him the second son-in-law, but he was the only one who called him son.
Im not your son.
Sorry, you look just like my son.
The man smiled softly and stroked Yeon Seos head. His face was not clearly visible because of the backlight.
Do you know where Hee-seo is?
My mom? Shes in the third room from the right.
Thank you.
The man stroked Yeon Seos head again. His touch was not very gentle.
But who are you? Ive never seen you before Why are you looking for my mom?
First time? Im
No, I cant not know.
Im a genius, you know. The young Yeon Seo stood up proudly with his hands on his waist, and the man laughed again. He looked like he found Yeon Seo very cute.
I see I came instead of the original guy who was sick.
Really? What kind of man is he? Mr. Yong-ho? Mr. Sang-yeong?
The man did not answer. As the clouds blocked the sunlight, his face gradually became visible. Then, a servants voice came from behind.
Master Yeon Seo!
Uh
What should I do? Yeon Seo turned his small head and looked at the servant and the man. He pressed his finger to the earpiece he was wearing and turned around.
I have to go now. Lets see each other again if we can.
Okay.
Yeon Seo turned away with an uneasy expression.
Master, where have you been? The chairman is looking for you.
You have to watch where youre going. You might fall.
As he held the servants hand and headed back to the main building, Yeon Seo glanced at the man walking towards the annex.
Strange.
Everyone treats me cautiously, but that man is different.
Is he the one?
<Warning, your bodys fatigue level has reached the limit.>
Keep going.
<Master, your memories are mixed up.>
I dont care. I got a special reward, Replay Memories. I can watch the mixed-up memories later. Yeon Seo in reality clenched his teeth. As if fast-forwarding a film, some scenes flashed by.
Whats wrong?
Where is that man? Lady, havent you seen him before?
Which man?
You know, that time uh?
At first, it was a question. But the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt and he couldnt remember clearly.
Aaah!!
Ma, master!
As the memory within a memory ended, Yeon Seo in the past grabbed his head and collapsed.
As everything from that day came back to him, his genius memory from his childhood also returned. He remembered the faces and figures of the bodyguards he usually saw.
He had never seen that man before, nor after.
The back of the man walking towards the annex, and his gaze directed at the window of the room where Hee-seo often stayed.
After recalling the painful memory of that day, Yeon Seo was certain.
Ah, its him. Hes the culprit. Mom couldnt have died like that.
Huk!
It was my fault. I told that bastard where mom was that day. Yeon Seo in the memory fell to the ground.
The scene changed again. Yeon Seo tried to investigate the incident on his own, but he was not enough.
Do you really think mom killed herself?
Yeah, maybe my brother would believe me. But what came back was a cold answer.
Yeon Seo, its over. The police have investigated it several times.
Brother, listen to me. That day
That day, I, I brought that bastard to mom
Stop talking nonsense. Just forget mom already.
The sight went dark. There was nothing to see, and voices overlapped.
The master is having another seizure
Oh, my grandson why did she have to go and
Shes a nuisance even in death.
Whats this all because of him.
At first, it was a question of why she died like that. But as Yeon Seo had a seizure whenever he heard Hee-seos name, and eventually lost his memory, the arrows of the people around him turned to Hee-seo.
Dont blame mom. It was all my fault.
And every time he heard those words, Yeon Seo blamed himself.
Yeon Seo in reality curled up and pressed his forehead to the floor. Blood dripped from his nose, and he coughed it out. The floor was stained with the blood he vomited.
[Its because of you.]
But the problem was that he couldnt tell if this voice was from the memory or from now.
<Warning, warning. Serious brain damage is expected in your body. Forcing memory synchronization to end.>
[Its because of you.]
Sniff sob
His body was in pain as if it was stabbed with needles, but his mind was harder. The memory synchronization was over, but he couldnt control his body because of the emotions left from then. Tears flowed endlessly, and he cried while gasping for breath.
<Warning, warning. Master.>
[Yeon Seo. My son.]
Ugh!
<Master. You cant be swayed by emotions.>
[Its because of you.]
Cough!
He had a ringing in his ears that made him deaf, but he heard the hallucinations clearly. Beta kept warning him in a voice, but he couldnt snap out of it.
[Its because of you.]
Its because of me.
He couldnt lift his head. He knew that Lee Hee-seos ghost was on top of him.
Mom, please save me.
<Master, please come to your senses.>
Someone grabbed his arm. Yoo Yeon Seo shook his arm and avoided it. Was this real? He couldnt tell anymore.
[You killed me.]
I cant breathe please
He scratched his neck with both hands. He scratched so hard that he got wounded soon. Someone grabbed his hand urgently. Something buzzed and talked to him.
<Kang Jin-hoo, born in S-28 area on August 21, 2171>
Ah!
<Operation Camellia on April 12, 2181. 8 dead, 1 alive.>
Ugh! Ugh
<Operation Pine on June 8, 2181. 1 survivor, Kang Jin-hoo. The rest of the unit wiped out.>
<Code name Ghost given on June 8, 2181>
His scream that almost choked from hyperventilation gradually subsided by Betas mechanical voice. His previous lifes image passed by quickly. His dizzy mind started to find reality.
<February 20, 2207. Died during Operation Baekdu. Time travel privilege granted for your merit. Master.>
Ugh
<Master, dont lose your center. You were not Yoo Yeon Seo then.>
As soon as he came to his senses, he felt warmth on his shoulder. He blinked his eyes a few times and focused. The voice that was groaning became clearer.
Hey, Yoo Yeon Seo!
Ah, this is his brother in reality.
You what is this
Brother.
This guy. Was it so hard to listen to me?
Why did you do that then?
Yeon Seo.
Please believe me
And Yoo Yeon Seo lost consciousness.
