25ㅣThe End of Our Love
-
The place he took Seol-i and Tae-hyung was inside the building where the founder was. He searched his pockets and found a card that looked like an employee ID card. He swiped it and the door opened. As he slowly entered, everyone bowed to him, and he confidently took the elevator to the top floor.
As we ascended to the top floor, the founder's room came into view. He had turned his chair toward the window, gazing out at the scenery. Seol-i and Tae-hyung were peacefully sleeping, and they seemed to have no intention of waking up.
“I brought you here, Founder.”
“I should have told you not to come here and just send a telepathic message from the lobby.”
“…I’m sorry, I don’t remember…”
“You should change the staff or something. Do you often pretend not to know anything these days?”
“…I will do my best, I am sorry.”
The man bowed his head before the founder, his hands clasped in respect, while Seol-i and Tae-hyung lay on the floor. Then, Seol-i flinched and stood up. Slowly, the peaceful scenery that greeted her seemed to make her think everything was fine, but that was just her delusion.
“… You, Seol.”
“Do you… know me?”
“Of course I know, I know almost every superpowered person in this world.”
“How do you know that?”
“There are ways to do it, you don’t need to know.”
While the founder and Seol were having a rather peaceful conversation, Taehyung woke up, stirring slightly. As soon as he woke up, Taehyung noticed the founder, and he immediately stood up and bowed his head in greeting.
“Founder…!”
“My name is Kim Taehyung, whose main ability is psychokinesis.”
“I know everything, so there’s no need to say hello.”
“Kim Taehyung, you know all the taboos on our superpower island, right?”
“… Yes.”
“I’m sure you know which taboo you broke.”
“That too… is true.”
“Describe the punishment for breaking that taboo.”
“…I understand that the principle is that those with superpowers are punished with death, or in extreme cases, extinction, while humans are punished with banishment, or in extreme cases, death.”
“…”
“Seol, you knew about this taboo and punishment, didn’t you?”
“… Yes, I knew.”
“I… don’t know how I ended up here, but when I woke up, I was in this place.”
“It was Taehyung who saved me from lying on the beach like that.”
“…and now we know each other’s hearts.”
“No matter what the circumstances, the fact that you broke that taboo and were punished remains unchanged.”
“…Please save our Seol.”
“I already know my fate, but Seol-i… please spare her.”
“You can erase my memory, you can’t remember me… just banish me.”
“Brother, what are you talking about…!”
“You keep quiet, Taehyung’s choice is good for you too.”
“Seol-ah, I was wrong anyway.”
“It’s either death or extinction. Even if I die and am reincarnated, I won’t be able to meet you anyway.”
“…Just don’t remember me.”
“Don’t remember and live your life. I… will keep you in my heart for the rest of my life.”
“You know I love you so much, right?”
“No… I don’t want to… I won’t leave you, oppa, I’ll remember you for the rest of my life…!!”
“Please save me, please save my brother, please…”
“We must not let humans know our true identity, and we must not let it be revealed.”
“I would like to see you die, but since the reason you came here is unknown, I will just banish you.”
“But Kim Taehyung, you have been living in the house for quite some time without reporting a human being, so you are extinct.”
“…I will accept it.”
“Seol-ah, go back to where humans live and live a normal life.”
“Forget me completely, so that you don’t go there and suffer from forgetting me.”
“My last wish is for you to forget me and live happily.”
“You know I love you so much, right? Go there… and be happy.”
Taehyung's body, speaking, gradually disappeared, and tears fell from his eyes, but his lips forced a smile. Seol-i held onto Taehyung and wept, and when Taehyung completely disappeared, Seol-i collapsed.
The founder and that guy looked at her indifferently, but Seol-i continued to cry while calling out to Tae-hyung in that fallen state.
If it was going to be like this, I shouldn't have loved. This was our ultimate ending. The more you love, the greater and deeper the pain of separation. That deep and profound pain doesn't easily fade, and even with the passage of time, it remains forever, deep within the heart. But Seol-i is different. Her memories were erased by the Creator, and she fell into a deep sleep. When she awakens, she will find herself in the human world.
Yoon-gi suffered the pain of losing someone he cherished and cherished once again, Seok-jin experienced losing someone precious for the first time, and Seol-i saw her loved one disappear before her eyes.
At the center of this whole thing was Taehyung, but now he was nowhere to be found. And deep within Seol-i's heart, Taehyung was no longer there.
Even if she wanted to exist, she couldn't. Taehyung, whom Seol-i loved so much, was now a non-existent person in Seol-i's life.
But Seol-i will always exist in Tae-hyung's heart. Even now, of course.
The end of our love does not exist.
Forbidden Love END
