- Hmm.....time to go get new stock of food. For tomorrow

It's been two years ever since he got transported to this world. He missed the feeling of a peaceful day before the apocalypse.

At the time, he found out that he was revived but somehow de-age back to a teenager.

At first, it was a hard start because he didn't have an identified paper. Maybe because he was an unknown individual that come from another earth and this place didn't have his doppelgänger, so he has to remember how to hack into the system back in the time he got taught by Kim Rok Soo himself in case anything happen.

(Actually, when he knows that phone or anything like that can work again, he begs his dongseang to teach him since Rok Soo knows this more than him)

Oh, how he love that little dongseang, so so grateful now that he actually needs to use that skill.

It took a while as his skill got rusty, and he almost got caught. Not his best moment, but cut him some slack. He can't really touch anything in the afterlife, so how is he supposed to keep that skill in check.

At least now he has an identity, so no one suspect that he is an unknown individual.

He has to learn in school again even though he is like....about forty years old? He thinks so, since he didn't know how the time running in the afterlife. He did write in his file that he is self-taught at home, so he didn't worry about the though going back to grade 5.

He had to work hard on many things like see how history change because this is a different universe. Nothing change much, which- make him glad. He just has to use his very old memories to get through high school again. He didn't have a perfect memory, so he did have to listen again.

(He didn't have Kim Rok Soo's ability, sometimes he is jealous of Kim Rok Soo's ability if life wasn't that shitty)

There's a time he got question about his scar that visible in his body. That took the cake, really. He didn't really answer and let them assume them as he felt like it would be hard to explain

He can't just say that 'Oh I come from another earth that apocalypse happens. So I have to fight monsters every day to survive'

Yeah, that would be the worst explanation of the years

So the other just look at him in pity or something because they thought that he got abused by his non-existence parents (in this universe) and now they leave him.

Not that it matters, really

Now, he needs to go home and then takes the money to pay for school. He didn't question where it came from since he thought that it's from the train that he always travel every time he went to sleep.

Somehow, he always come back to that place, but at least he won't have nightmare much. That place pretty much his comfort place and it will stay that way.

(Now that he think about it.....he always forget something whenever he woke up from dreaming about that train to reality. It was a mystery, but he didn't dare to find out. Something tells him that it wasn't his time)

Today, he just wanted to rest for the day after his training, but he found a kid got bully by those taller and bigger than him.

He should just mind his own business. He shouldn't give out too much sympathy.

But it reminds him of the time he got Kim Rok Soo drunk and how he told him that he used to being bullied by those around him when he was in shelter

(If Park Jin-Tae still alive till this day, he would have giving him a beating of his life. How dare he beat up Rok Soo-)

And he almost can see how Kim Rok Soo in that place.

That make him run toward the kid

- Hey! Stop that right now! - he took out a wooden sword that he make to train his physics back to his old strength. He just got home from his training, after all.

(He need to prepare for the apocalypse. He certainly that if he didn't then he won't even survive)

- And? Try me – one of them challenge him

Huh....isn't this so cringe? Really? Can you be original?

Why do all the bullies so.....unoriginal– he want to cringe himself so hard–

- Hoh, come then! - he shows his shitty grin to them as he confidently held the sword. He shouldn't push too much pressure since it could still kill people, even if that's a wooden sword

- Wait wait- don't! Stop it! Don't you think he is somewhat familiar???? He's that senior who almost make the 'king' bruise to the point almost in hospital two years ago! - hoh, so they still remember about that. He thought they would have forgotten about it.

As they state, every school have a 'king' as they like to call it. Most people would be scared of them because they can do anything and didn't have to worry about the teacher report it as long as the victims keep their mouth shut.

At the time when he still try to adjust back to a normal life, he's sitting in the cafeteria, minding his own business until they come to him and flip his fucking plates of food in his face. At the time, he would have ignored that, if it wasn't for the fact last night he didn't eat anything and in the morning he got fucking cold water on him right when he steps to class. He also got detention because he didn't have his homework.

(He actually had it, if it wasn't for the fact that it got soak and his writing fucking blurred so bad)

And because that day definitely his bad day, he just stands up and punch him, slamming him to the wall many times until blood spill. If he wasn't snapped out fast, he would have made him broke his leg and arm.

He doesn't know why he can lose control like this. He used to be so patient.

Maybe him being a teenager is having a mood swing, or because of the time in the afterlife make his patience thinner than a string.

He didn't care

At least, no one even dare to mention it again. They also agree not to mess with him anymore

That's fine with him.

He didn't mind that.

Now the person just challenging him scared of him, the looks of fear flash in his eyes

(He likes that look, at least. They dare to hurt those smaller than them. He wants to hurt them so bad)

– If you want to get out of here without being beating to death. Run – he said with a serious tone, his sword aiming at them

And so, they run away, not wanting to be the victims of those unlucky people who face Lee Soo Hyuk.

– Are you okay, kid? – he turns back to face that hoobae who got bullied.

He didn't answer as he looked away from Lee Soo Hyuk.

Is he scared of him?

– Hey, what's wrong? – his tone is filled with concern, something that the stranger never heard much ever since his mother got arrested.

– I-I.....why did you.....save me? – oh god- don't make him remember those time Rok Soo even ask him that, that brat just bluntly scream that one kid always disregard himself. This kid could also as he got older, and he did not want history to repeat itself.

– What do you mean? Why wouldn't I want to save you from those bully?

– .......y-you already know about the rumor of the killer's son....right? Surely, you should know already – ah....so that's the kid that everybody whisper about.....though he didn't remember that name.....must be hard for him...

– Yeah? And you're her son, right? Why should I care about that when you're not even your mother?

– O-Oh...... – his face have a relief expression with a small smile directly at him

....gotta admit, that's so cute- no- you can't fall to a "dongseang" Charm.

– ....how about I help you? If I help you deal with the bully, would you help me find some story? – this should be acceptable, right? He definitely looks like someone who would spend time on reading books

– .....how did you know I like story? – the kid suspiciously glare at him

Wow, rude. He just trying to give an excuse to make friend with the stranger. The stranger just give him Rok Soo's vibe and he just really want to protect him. Wonder if the kid is Rok Soo's doppelganger. Maybe the would explain how he's feeling right now-

– I never say that I know you like story, I'm asking you to recommend me some story – his face give off an innocent smile that shouldn't be that sinner, right?

– I- alright, I guess it's fair – the stranger scratch his neck in embarrassment.

The stranger definitely didn't expect that

– Great! Now chop chop! We have to go and you will give me good books! I can't wait! – his smile spread across his face, he have to get an excuse to be friend with him, but that doesn't mean that part of it wasn't true. He loves reading when he have the time.

Rok Soo-ya truly influence him in some aspect

Lee Soo Hyuk hold the stranger's hand and pull him up. The stranger stumbled a bit but he guess that's given as how he sit too long

They were going ahead and- wait-

They didn't know where they want to go...

Whoops–

A cat cafe? He only know that because he likes cat

Remind him of Rok Soo, then when he looked at a dog, it reminds him of Jung Soo

That cat-dog duo, always cause his fragile heart almost have a heart attack whenever they team up

Nevertheless, he brings the stranger– should he even called a stranger anymore after they bond a bit?

He will call him kid for now, since he didn't know his name

– Hey.....I kinda forget that....I don't know where was the library....how about coffee? – Lee Soo Hyuk awkwardly said

– Sure.....but I don't have much money....

– Oh? I will pay for it, don't worry. Maybe we could....get to know each other?

– ...... – this is so awkward, he never thought he would be this awkward...maybe his time in the afterlife affect him more than he thought it would be.....he used to be a social butterfly dammit-

– Ehhh......kid? – he turn his head face to face to the kid but when he turn back. He saw the kid was crying

Oh god- what did he do?!? He didn't mean to make him cry!

– O-Oh...you called? I-I'm sorry.....it has been so long since anyone want to talk to me...... – why does this feel like he was talking to a protagonist of a novel who have a very sad past? Maybe it was his imagination....right?

– ......Do people these days have no common sense? Really? They just ignore the traumatized child and also bully them. I do have common sense here dammit – Lee Soo Hyuk sigh at the idiotic of the people, he wonder how could he forget how blind people are before apocalypse.

– .......you're the weird one. No one would try to talk to a murderer's son – the kid point out

– Ouch, that hurt my heart. How could you? – he dramatically put a hand in his chest while wipe away his non-existence tears

He try to do Jung Soo's humour, sue him. He wants to cheer the kid up

– You're so dramatic, by the way, that humour aren't fit for you – he roll his eyes as Lee Soo Hyuk grin at him. The kid more observed than he let on. As expect of Rok Soo's doppelganger

– I know

– .........

– Hey

– ? – the kid turn to him

– What's your name? I don't think that I noticed your name even though I hear the rumor

The kid look at him with a dumbfounded look but then snap out of it with a gentle smile

– My name is Kim Dokja

– Dokja.....reader....huh, that fit you pretty well

– Wow.....you're the first one to get it right

– Really? I thought I was the fifth one. Surely, someone must have get it by now – he read too much fanfiction from Choi Jung Soo, now he recognizes the meaning of the kid name. He didn't want to, he was forced to read with him.

(Liar liar, pants on fire, he read with Choi Jung Soo because he wants to spend time with his dongseang)

– Nope, you're the first to get it – the kid just, eh, didn't really care

– Huh....well, my name is Lee Soo Hyuk, nice to meet you by the way.

– You know, everyone always want to have a good impression that the other, we just from a bully to getting along with each other

– It's life, what do you expect?

– True, so I think that maybe you should try......

– So you're saying that you found him, in another universe? – there's a figure standing in front of the God of Death, glaring at him

– Yes, and I will try to contact him tomorrow. I'm still wondering, how did he get out of the afterlife and how can he be revived back to life. The Fates sister is also in a panic because of this

– I see.....well, you say that when the time comes, the only way for me to connect him is being a constellation? Really? – this is a bothersome problem. Can't believe that the Team leader revived himself. But that was given as he's his and other's mentor

He would cause more trouble

He can see that

– Create a modified for me, name it "White messenger". I think after a while, he surely still remembers me.

– Sure. Hope this plan work. We can't just take Lee Soo Hyuk out of that world anymore since we're a bit too late, he got attached to that world. The original fate has changed.

- Yeah....fate has turned its gear....we can't predict how the future would go anymore....we have to let him go to the end of the scenario. That way, I can meet him again...
