Side Story 1. What if I beat him?

23ㅣInvincible, 25ㅣThe End of Our Lovemiddle
A few days had passed since Taehyung and Seol-i became lovers, and the day had finally come for them to meet that bastard and take revenge. This time, the place wasn't the warehouse, and Taehyung thought it would be a fight that would be advantageous to him. But that thought was a mistake.It was.
He was always relaxed, smiling and welcoming Taehyung wherever and whenever they met. Perhaps because he couldn't use his iron, he immediately launched a mental attack, leaving Taehyung unable to come to his senses.
Although Yoongi copied Taehyung's abilities to some extent, he was stronger than Taehyung expected when he was not in his right mind. In the end, Taehyung was pushed back, but he couldn't retreat.
“Are you tired already?”
“Stop it, if you keep doing that, Kim Taehyung will really die!!”
“So what if he dies? His fate is destruction anyway.”
“This is the fate of a superpowered person who hides a human being.”
“Are you in pain? Just watching your friend die?”
“Stop… Stop the ability…”
Taehyung couldn't come to his senses and was mentally controlled, eventually using his powers to attack Yoongi. Yoongi, a copy of Taehyung, was naturally defeated by his telekinesis, and because they were friends, he couldn't use his power called Sisum to kill him.
“Kim Seokjin, hurry up and write a bind on Kim Taehyung!!”
Hearing Yoongi's distressed words from Taehyung, Seokjin immediately ran to Taehyung and used his power, and Taehyung was tied down and unable to move. Yoongi, who had been suspended in midair by Taehyung, fell to the ground, and ran straight to the bastard and looked him straight in the eye.
He looked straight into Yoongi's eyes and collapsed, and Yoongi and Seokjin collapsed to the floor, their legs giving out. With the thought that it was all over, Seokjin approached the man and used his power called Bind to bind him.
At that moment, Seol-i also ran towards Tae-hyung, and as soon as the guy fell, Tae-hyung's eyes came back into focus and he immediately hugged Seol-i who was running towards him.
“I thought you were coming back injured again… Do you know how worried I was?”
“I’m so glad it turned out this way…”
“Why are you crying? I’m not the type of person to be easily swayed.”
“Ah… You were manipulated by that guy and tried to kill me, and you’re acting all arrogant.”
“…”
“Is everyone okay? No one’s hurt, right…?”
“Yeah, everyone’s safe.”
“…What should I do with this guy?”
“What should I do? You go in and move it.”
“So, where are you moving it to?”
“Move to my house, I’ll take care of it.”
“I only trust you, Min Yoongi.”
So, the bastard disappeared without a trace, and they lived a fairly peaceful life. But with happiness comes unhappiness, and with hope comes despair. There was no peace for them.
While Taehyung and Seol were resting together at home, an unexpected, uninvited guest showed up. Dressed in all black, his face completely hidden, he surprised and bewildered Taehyung and Seol, using his powers to put them to sleep before taking them somewhere else.
The place we arrived at was the founder's room. As expected.The founder turned his chair toward the window, gazing out at the scenery. Seol-i and Tae-hyung, peacefully asleep, oblivious to everything, seemed to have no intention of waking up from the situation.
He brought Taehyung and Seol-i, whose identities were unknown, and left the room, leaving only the founder, Taehyung, and Seol-i. Silence flowed until Taehyung and Seol-i opened their eyes simultaneously, stood up, and looked at the founder.
“…Founder…?”
Taehyung was startled when he found the founder, but immediately bowed his head towards him, and Seol-i bowed her head following Taehyung without knowing what was going on.
“My name is Kim Taehyung, and my 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 of those taboos you broke.”
“That too… is true.”
“Tell me about 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.”
“…”
“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 stay quiet, Taehyung’s choice will be 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 saw a human and didn’t report it, and you let him live in your house for quite some time… 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.
The ending is destruction anyway
