Chapter 157: The One Hidden in the Gaps
Cha Eui-jae stared at Hong Ye-seong's confident smile, frozen in time, at a loss for words. The two had made a promise in a past he couldn't remember.
'To save the world.'
Cha Eui-jae clenched and unclenched his fist. Was it okay to forget such an important promise? Had he done something too cruel to Hong Ye-seong?
Then, Hong Ye-seong suddenly spoke.
—Hey, hey, don't take it too seriously. This was a promise for me, you know. You didn't want to do it, but I pushed and pushed until you agreed.
Cha Eui-jae's eyes widened.
"What?"
—Well... I don't know if you realize this now, but I tend to switch interests pretty quickly. I can't focus on one thing for long. I get bored easily. If it feels like a task, I don't want to do it. I just want to have fun.
There was a playful glint beneath the surface of his emotions.
—But saving the world is different.
"..."
—I've seen you save the world multiple times, you know?
