The morning air felt a little different.
The lotus garden was still quiet, and the sunlight was similar to yesterday...
Only Taehyung could clearly feel the difference.
“…That’s strange.”
“What is it?”
Sky was holding coffee next to Taehyung.
Taehyung looked down at his hands for a moment.
“Until yesterday… I just felt like I was enduring each day.
There were also some embarrassing incidents, haha”
“What about today?”
"…today."
Taehyung took a deep breath and spoke.
“I feel like I have to do something.”
The sky looked at those words as if it were chewing them over.
“…Is it the effect of your memories returning?”
“Maybe?”
The moments of yesterday still lingered in my mind like afterimages.
Kasen of Festa...
and,
Even a mission that requires surviving for a year in the human world
Not enduring, but surviving
Taehyung slowly raised his head.
“…Mr. Sky.”
"yes?"
“I… feel like I’m taking a test.”
The sky paused for a moment.
“…Huh? A test? What… test?”
“Yes. Not just living it…”
Taehyung continued slowly, as if choosing his words.
“As a human being, it is a test of choice.”
The sky looked at Taehyung without saying anything.
“…??? I don’t understand any of it -_-”
"Haha, I said that my memory came back a little bit, I was originally from Yeonhwa
I remembered the responsibilities I had to fulfill as the youngest."
"Oh! What is it?!"
“From today...”
Taehyung smiled faintly.
“How about living a proper life?”
“…How?”
“Let’s go together to the place I’m going to today.”
That morning,
Taehyung headed to a hospital affiliated with the Yeonhwa Group, guided by his secretary.
“…The youngest master didn’t even come, and then suddenly this bolt from the blue?!”
“They say the young master himself requested it...”
"Oh no, I'm screwed. Everyone, hurry up and fix things before the master comes!"
"N..yes!"
The staff were all anxious about Taehyung's visit,
I was wondering what the reason for his appearance, which was his first visit in my life, was.
.
.
As Taehyung entered the hospital lobby, a busy atmosphere hit him.
It even felt like the sound of people's footsteps had died down a little.
“…Yeonhwa Hospital...”
The sky spoke quietly next to Taehyung.
“They say people from wealthy families don’t come often... Just looking at the numbers ;;”
“…a number?”
“Sales, profit and loss, efficiency... Aren’t all conglomerates like that? Oh, right.”
"why?"
"You're a tycoon too, young master... I'm... sorry... ^^;;"
"Oh, no. From what I heard, this is my first time visiting Yeonhwa Hospital, too?"
"Oh, you didn't remember that..?"
"But why here..."
As the two were walking down the hallway, talking,
Suddenly there was a commotion.
“No, I said the guardian is still here-!”
“So, are you just going to let this patient die like this? You need to start talking sense…!!”
A child was lying in bed crying.
My mother was arguing with the nurse, her face turning pale.
“…What’s going on…??”
Sky asked the nurses around her.
“It’s a problem with the consent form for surgery.”
“…Consent form?”
“The guardian needs to sign, but it hasn’t arrived yet.”
Taehyung stopped walking.
At that moment, Kasen's voice flashed through my head.
Trust in your choices, not your strength.
“…Just a moment.”
Taehyung naturally stepped forward.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Taehyung.
“…I will take responsibility.”
"…yes?"
The doctor, nurse, and guardian all looked bewildered.
“…I am the one who can take responsibility for this hospital.”
There was a moment of silence,
The secretary came over quickly.
"master-!"
"…are you okay."
Taehyung looked at the child.
A small hand was gripping the blanket tightly.
“…What we need now is people, not procedures.”
"master...!"
"Can I be the guardian?"
The doctor hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
“Yes, that’s right. I’ll prepare it.”
When the incident was resolved, the people who had gathered dispersed.
The sky was blankly looking at Taehyung.
“…Taehyung.”
"…yes?"
“It’s completely different from before!!!”
"…is it so?"
“Yes!! Totally! Just now… He seemed like a really nice person haha A completely benevolent chaebol!”
Taehyung's heart swelled strangely at those words.
Taehyung concluded his schedule by expressing his intention to donate 500 million won to the hospital.
The sky wondered if this was what Taehyung had said he had to do.
On the way back to Yeonhwa-ro,
It was quiet inside the car.
“…Mr. Sky.”
"yes?"
“…Weren’t you scared?”
“What is it?”
“I stepped forward and made that choice.”
The sky thought for a moment and then said.
“…It was scary… I was afraid that I would have to take responsibility ㅋㅋㅋ ^^ ;;; Haha”
“… Oh, that’s why..”
“But.”
The sky looked at Taehyung.
“Strangely… I lost faith!! I feel like you would do well, Young Master?”
Taehyung couldn't continue speaking.
“…But I don’t know either.”
“…What?”
“Why did you make that choice?”
Taehyung looked out the window.
“…But, I felt like I had to do it.”
The sky listened quietly to those words.
And I was sure.
'This person, I think I'm starting to remember something...'
That night.
Taehyung was sitting alone in his room.
When I opened my palm, a very faint light flashed by.
The divine power remained, but it was still weak and unstable.
“…The test isn’t over yet.”
And he felt it.
From now on,
That I can't escape...
And at that moment, the phone vibrated.
An unknown number and a short message.
'Good job haha'
Taehyung closed his eyes.
“…Seokjin.”
The test was now really beginning.
