Chapter 189: Multiple Thoughts
Cha Eui-jae tightly shut his eyes after witnessing a reality he didn't want to face. Sharing a bed in the Memorial Dungeon was one thing, but now they were wearing the same pajamas? Ridiculous!
Fortunately, Lee Sa-young was sitting on the sofa, eyes closed, and didn't witness Cha Eui-jae's distress. From the way he was rubbing his temples, it seemed like he had fallen asleep. Cha Eui-jae moved quietly, tiptoeing into the living room.
The wallpaper, the house's layout, the familiar furniture— most of it was recognizable, except for a few differences. It was unlike the house he had seen in the Memorial Dungeon.
The sights seen through the Memorial Dungeon and the clock belonged to the first world. So then...
'It doesn't seem to be the first world.'
Did he come to the right place? Cha Eui-jae pulled back the white curtains covering the living room window. His face twisted.
"..."
Only darkness greeted him.
He should have been able to see the street outside, but beyond the large window was nothing but perfect darkness. Just like beyond the door of the Memorial Dungeon.
'Are they telling me to see for myself...?'
The glass reflected Cha Eui-jae's image like a mirror. The man in loose silk pajamas with black hair staring back at him was Cha Eui-jae. Cha Eui-jae absently ran a hand through his hair. At that moment, a pitch-black shape appeared behind him in the glass. A flickering, human-like shadow with bright, violet eyes.
Cha Eui-jae whipped around, but there was nothing— just the peaceful living room and the sleeping Lee Sa-young. He looked back at the glass. The shadow had already shifted into the form of Lee Sa-young, his violet eyes narrowing.
