DTD 9
"I know it sounds crazy, but I think it's the only way to beat Mujeong." "Well, it's an interesting way to do it..." Raphael swallowed hard and glanced at Simeon with concern as if he were silently asking him for help since we knew we couldn't do it alone. But Simeon’s answer was far from what we expected. "I’ll do whatever you say." I never thought he’d agree right away. Even though it was a good thing, I was momentarily dumbfounded. "You're not joking… are you?" When Raphael…-

The timing was too perfect, of course, he knew. He couldn't possibly have done something intentionally to prevent me from returning home, right...? No, it couldn't be that. Even though I knew he wasn't that kind of person, I couldn't eliminate the nagging doubt in my mind. As I stared at my phone in disbelief, a message appeared like he'd read my thoughts. What the hell? Did it even make the news? ...Wait. So, he could have told me about the news this morning, but he deliberately waited…-

The scent of sun-dried blankets brushed the tip of my nose. As I turned over in comfort, a sudden pain in my waist jolted me awake. As I lifted my heavy eyelids, a familiar face appeared in my blurry vision when. “Mr. Hajae, are you awake?” I was so dizzy with fatigue that I almost called out, "Sang-ah." No matter how sleepy I was, I couldn’t let that slip. Instead of answering, I just blinked, and Simeon asked concernedly. “Do you feel dizzy, or does it hurt anywhere in…-

"You didn't say you’d teach me." I felt like if I showed Simeon my awkward side, he’d just laugh at me. "Besides, I don't have a habit of bothering busy people." "Wasn't it you, Mr. Hajae, who came and asked to have dinner with me last time?" "Haha, that's that, and this is this." As I shrugged with a brazen face, Simeon chuckled. "Did he teach you well?" "Of course. He was the epitome of a considerate older man." If Shinhwan had a child, he would’ve made a really good father.…-

The location Shinhwan mentioned in the email was none other than his own art gallery. And it wasn’t just any gallery—it was situated in one of the most expensive areas in Seoul. As soon as I entered the narrow, steep alley, I regretted bringing my car. “Wow, the smell of premium gasoline is strong here.” There were luxury cars everywhere—from brands like Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, and Ferrari. The names alone could fill out a crossword puzzle. Cold sweat formed on my forehead whenever I…-

The sound of a sob that I couldn't swallow filled the room. There was no one to hear me, but I vented my frustrations at the top of my lungs. The absurdity of acting like a victim in a situation I brought upon myself made me laugh until that laughter turned back into tears. What was I even crying for? My mind was so clouded with sadness that I couldn't grasp even the simplest things. As I clutched my aching chest, the paper in my hand crumpled naturally. The scent of the sea embedded in the paper…-

“Are these all the precautions we need to take?” “No.” Simeon shook his head firmly as he replied. “We can’t let any beings inside the gate realize that we’re ‘outsiders.’” “What happens if they find out?” “If they get too suspicious, we’ll be instantly ejected back to reality.” There were more things to be cautious of than I expected, and I couldn’t help but let out a sigh. To stop the spirit’s rampage, we had to enter the gate and complete a specific…-

A week had passed. Thankfully, there were no suspicious followers nor any accidental encounters with any of the apostles. It felt like returning to my life before discovering Simeon was Sang. I couldn’t ask for more if the days continued peacefully with occasional requests. A request came through the usual open chat. At the time, I had no idea. But this was the beginning of a fateful encounter. Honestly, I was suspicious. There was no reason to…-

At last, we narrowed the search down to a single district. It didn’t matter how densely populated Seonan-dong was. I stationed staff throughout the area, paying special attention to high foot traffic zones, and instructed them to stay on alert 24/7. But even after several months, not a single significant lead surfaced. Not one of my people spotted Johan. Not even a strand of his hair. "I'm sorry, Guild Leader Simeon." They’d all seen Johan’s face through <Portrait of Saint Germain>,…-

In the days leading up to the end, I spent time with some of the members of The Apostles, one by one. I attended a gemstone auction with Raphael, bought Matteo the beef I’d promised him ages ago, and went to a long-awaited overseas orchestra performance with Shinhwan. There wasn’t any deeper meaning behind it. I just wanted to settle my thoughts quietly in my own way. And yet, the more memories I made, the harder it became to leave. Attachment was a terrifying thing. I’d drawn the line, told…-
