Chapter 157 156. The Need For Answers.

Vinny, Jiwoo, Katharine, Katline, and Violet had discussed on apologizing to Miss Isha after seeing how precious the children of that orphanage were to her. The idea was proposed by Katharine because she had known Isha for a long time and felt somewhat guilty about it, and her wanting to apologize was just to push her guilt on to Isha, or so Jiwoo thought based on the look on Katharine's face.

'I have memories of being a 34 years old man, so I know what you are trying to do...' Jiwoo thought as he stared at Katharine's back.

'I want to ask Eshwar the truth, if he really did create me as a character in his novel or have I really transmigrated, if I really did transmigrate, how to get back to our original world....' Jiwoo thought as he followed the others to Isha's room from behind, his gaze fixed on their backs.

'Everything will get clearer if I get a proper answer from Eshwar....' Jiwoo sighed, inwardly because he had developed a kind of identity crisis.

From his perspective, everything appeared real yet fake, many thoughts would race through his mind in an instant, almost all of his thoughts had turned negative, pushing him deeper and deeper into depression, after thinking about many things, he had come to question himself about his very own existence, and even now he had many questions that continued to turn darker and darker after witnessing the deaths of innocent children.

He felt very uncomfortable being in their presence when they were debating whether or not to apologize to Isha, and a disgusting feeling crept up from the bottom of his heart whenever they wanted to 'discuss' it upon the deaths of innocent children!

Violet had grown a bit darker, Katline had resolved to become stronger, Katharine felt guilty and wanted that feeling to leave her right then and there when she proposed the idea to apologize to Isha, and Vinny didn't care, perhaps because he had seen too many deaths before his regression and he even said it was too bothersome, and everything... everything about them began to disgust Jiwoo.

He just wanted to spit at them and get away from them, but he needed answers from Eshwar, who had vanished to who knows where, and if Jiwoo wanted to find him, he thought Isha would be a good place to start.

Jiwoo, too, didn't care about Isha because he thought, 'She's not even a side character from the novel,' and he joined without regard for any other his humanly emotions which had been trying keep him sane. He was only interested in learning about himself from Eshwar and he just wanted to return to 'Earth,' even if he was 'just' a 'character' in the 'story' created by the author 'Eshwar.'

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

"...." Nobody said a single word as Katharine knocked on Isha's door.

'.....How did she know where Miss Isha was? We're in a random hotel right now....' Jiwoo furrowed his brows at Katharine, but he didn't want to know.... No, he just didn't care.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

"Tsk." Vinny clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"...."

"Miss Isha, are you alright?" Katharine asked.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

'Why is she acting like she cares?'

"...."

"Miss Isha, are you alright?" She asked again.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

CLUNK

The door opened, and a gorgeous black-haired woman stood behind it, her brow furrowed, her eyes and nose red from crying, and she appeared to be in a lot of pain.

"...." Everybody stared at her in silence and Jiwoo felt slightly guilty, but not enough to care.

"What is it?" Isha asked with a slight frown as her brows trembled seemingly because she was in pain.

"Haaa, look.....Miss Isha, we're sorry, we went there as soon as we got the message, but...." Suddenly, Vinny spoke up informally and arrogantly, it definitely wasn't how an person apologizing should look like. Jiwoo wanted to spit at Vinny as soon as he heard the way he was speaking.

"... Apology accepted." Isha said, Jiwoo felt a chill run down his spine when he saw her cold and omnipotent glare.

"But forgiving you is another matter." She said, dumbfounding everyone.

'Wha? What nonsense?' Jiwoo thought and wanted to voice it, but something stopped him.

"What? Look here, Miss Isha, we're apologizing, right?" Vinny repeated with a frown and a cocky attitude.

"Yes, I said, your apology is accepted, but I'm not forgiving you." Isha replied.

"Haa, what's with this woman?" Vinny mumbled in a low tone which was heard by everyone.

"We. Are. Apologizing." Vinny said with a glare and seemed like he wouldn't back down without her forgiving them.

"Look here, child." Isha's voice reverberated in their minds and sent shivers down their spines.

"I accepted your apology and I will not forgive you for your incompetence, so scram and, Do. Not. Annoy. Me. I'm not somebody whom you can speak so lightly to." Isha said stared at him with cold eyes.

"I'm incompetent? Ha, if you are so proud why didn't you come save those kids? You couldn't even save your own grandfather." Vinny scoffed at Isha's words, walked in front of Isha and glared at her.

".... I'm not Eshwar to be merciful against incompetent fools, so if you annoy me once again, maybe today, Will. Be. Your. Last. Day." Isha said in coldly.

"Vinny, stop...." Katline grabbed his hand to pulling him, but....

"Ha, A mere Rank-A, hahaha, try my." Vinny said and laughed at her.

"Hmm..." Isha took a step back into her room with a troubled expression on her face, looking at Isha's face a wide disgusting grin appeared on Vinny's face.

".... You're nothi...." Vinny started to speak, but was cut short by Isha's mumbled.

"How troublesome. Troublesome indeed." Isha mumbled and paced around, pondering.

'What is going on? Something is wrong...' Jiwoo thought and observed everyone's expressions; Violet had furrowed her brows at Isha's actions, Katharine had a frown on her face, and Katline appeared troubled by the escalation of the situation.

"Eshwar would probably disappointed....." Isha continued her loud mumbled.

'Why...?' Jiwoo's ears perked up when he heard Eshwar being bought in this situation, and a thought occurred to him, which he dismissed with a shake of his head.

"I don't ever remember Eshwar creating such a disgusting and idiotic character.... No, there was one, but not this one." Isha mumbled.

"!" Jiwoo's eyes shot wide open when her words proved that his thoughts were correct.

"What's this wom..." Vinny was speaking something, but was cut short by Isha.

"Black hands."
