Chapter 154
Moonlight streaming in through the window cast its glow over Cha Sahyeon’s neck. Cha Seohu, quietly gazing at that unusually pale skin, pulled an item from his inventory.
A green jewel on a black ribbon sparkled in his palm.
It was within arm’s reach. It would be easy to lean in and wrap the item around Cha Sahyeon, who was sitting close with his body bent forward.
And yet, Cha Seohu didn’t move so easily. His eyes narrowed as he looked down at the choker.
‘...This is the right choice.’
No matter how much fate had changed, no matter how different the future had become, the Seed of Catastrophe was still inside Cha Sahyeon. There was no way he could allow someone that dangerous to wander around freely.
‘It’s my responsibility.’
He had made that decision the day he regressed—when he saved Cha Sahyeon and fled the lab. He’d sworn to carry the burden of the Catastrophe alone. He didn’t want to drag others into it—not the members of the Circle Guild, not anyone else.
Sharing a bed with the young Cha Sahyeon, seeing Ryu Sunghyun look at him like a stranger, living in a future that was diverging from the one he remembered—none of it had shaken his resolve. It had only strengthened it.
“......”
He wasn’t regretting that decision now.
The reason Cha Seohu was hesitating... was because of what truly frightened him.
