Legion of the Lost

Episode 44

That night, Seungmin woke up to a sound that sounded like the mansion was collapsing.

김승민

'It smells like coal...'

김승민

'Is there a fire...?'

Seungmin looked out at the mansion outside and saw a huge flame rising.

At that moment, Seungmin heard Jeongin's voice.

It was a distance that ordinary people could not hear, but Seungmin, a warlock with keen senses, heard Jeongin's voice vividly.

양정인

Please save me...

Jeong-in was unable to move after being crushed by a fallen pillar while trying to leave the room.

The room was getting hotter and hotter, and Jeong-in's consciousness was fading away.

김승민

Yang Jeong-in!!

Seungmin went through the collapsed mansion to find his lover.

김승민

What are you doing here! Get out of here quickly!

양정인

My legs... My legs are stuck and I can't move...

Seungmin came to Jeong-in and was bleeding from one shoulder, as if he had been injured.

김승민

You have to come out quickly so I can listen.

양정인

huh...

Seungmin lifted the large pillar that was pressing down Jeong-in's legs.

If it had been Seungmin as usual, it would have been a light weight, but it was difficult for Seungmin, who was injured here and there.

김승민

are you okay?

양정인

huh...

김승민

'The door is blocked...'

Meanwhile, the mansion was collapsing further and further, and Seungmin could no longer get out the way he had entered.

김승민

Hold on a minute. You can't fall asleep now.

Seungmin picked up his lover, who was lying there helplessly, and jumped out the window.

Although it was three stories high, Seungmin's landing was stable and light.

Seungmin found a lake by following the scent of water and gave Jeongin a drink of water and washed her body.

양정인

Are other people...okay?

김승민

...it'll be okay.

But Seungmin hasn't seen anyone from the mansion since that day.

He was discovered by an imperial official looking for a black magician and taken to the palace with his lover.

Jeong-in drew Seung-min in the room where he was left alone for a long time.

At that moment, a small piece of paper rolling around the room caught Jeong-in's eye.

"Yang Jeong-in! What are you doing? Are you crying?"

"Don't cry. It's not a man's fault for crying."

“It’s my choice, so don’t be too sad, and don’t feel too guilty.”

"I know why you're afraid of the dark, so how could I keep you in that darkness for the rest of your life?"

"So live happily."

"Live in your world, seeing the things you love through the eyes I gave you."

"That's enough for me."

"Thank you, my friend."

The consciousness I had barely managed to hold on to was snapped again.

양정인

no...

양정인

This is not what I wanted...

양정인

I already miss you so much, what should I do now...

양정인

What should I do now...

Jeong-in lay there for a long time, shedding tears.

"We have to survive. As much as Seungmin deserves."

There was no one in the room, but for a moment, Minhyuk's voice seemed to be heard, and Jeongin got up from her seat.

As Jeong-in came out of the room and approached Min-hyuk, Min-hyuk, as if he had been waiting, organized Seung-min's belongings and gave them to Jeong-in.

He didn't throw away even a single pen or scrap of tissue that Seungmin had used, and put everything in a box.

Seungmin's funeral was held briefly.
