There was no particular reason.
Just... something felt off.
"Noa."
"Hm?"
"Are you okay these days?"
Noah tilted his head.
"Yeah. Why?"
"No, just."
Yejun smiled and turned his head away.
At first glance, there really didn’t seem to be any problem at all.
Noah was listening to class as usual.
He talked with his friends, too,
and answered the teacher’s questions.
He even laughed.
But Yejun kept noticing little differences.
The things Noah used to say a lot had changed.
Even the things he normally liked and disliked had been switched around.
And more than anything...
his expression was different.
Yejun watched Noah laughing.
It was clearly Noah’s face.
But something about it felt unfamiliar.
"......."
Yejun shook his head.
'Was I just worrying for nothing?'
---
Lunch break.
Yejun and Noah were sitting in the cafeteria.
"Noah."
"Hm?"
"Didn’t you used to hate this?"
Yejun pointed at a side dish.
Noah stared at it for a moment.
"Ah."
Then he smiled naturally.
"Did I?"
"Yeah. You used to hate it a lot."
"I don’t remember that."
Yejun set down his chopsticks.
"...You don't remember?"
"Yeah."
Noah kept eating as if nothing was wrong.
Yejun looked at Noah.
Something was off.
It wasn’t even that old a memory.
And yet Noah was acting like he had no idea at all.
"You..."
Yejun stopped himself.
"What?"
"Nothing."
Yejun shook his head.
But a small doubt had begun to take root in his mind.
---
After class.
Yejun deliberately called Noah over.
"Noah."
"Hm?"
"Do you remember when we first became close?"
Noah thought for a moment.
"Of course."
"When was it?"
"......."
Noah couldn’t answer.
After a few seconds, Noah smiled.
"You caught me off guard, so I can’t remember."
Yejun said nothing.
Noah was smiling as usual,
but the smile felt wrong somehow.
As if someone other than Noah were imitating Noah’s memories.
---
That evening.
Yejun sat alone in his room.
On the desk were the photos he had taken with Noah.
Yejun looked at them one by one.
"...It’s definitely Noah."
His face was exactly the same.
His voice was exactly the same.
His behavior was similar, too.
So why did it feel this unfamiliar?
Yejun put down the last photo.
"Something’s wrong."
For the first time, he was sure of it.
Something strange was happening to Noah.
But Yejun still didn’t know.
Even at the very moment he was doubting him,
Han Noah’s true consciousness was in a state where it couldn’t do anything.
---
A deep, deep darkness.
Han Noah was there.
He couldn’t move his body.
He couldn’t open his eyes.
He couldn’t open his mouth.
He couldn’t even send his thoughts outward.
The seal binding him tightly had completely trapped Noah’s consciousness.
He simply existed.
Unable to do anything.
Unable to reach anyone.
And outside that darkness—
Han Seoa was spending an ordinary day in Han Noah’s face.
Yejun still did not know the truth.
But one thing was certain.
He had begun to doubt Han Noah.
