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!
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.
