Legion of the Lost [The Abandoned]

Season 1_Chapter 1 'Minhyuk'-Episode 19

The names of characters, organizations, and places in the story are unrelated to reality.

From that day on, Minhyuk often followed Hyunsik to practice Suam during class.

That day, too, Minhyuk returned to his room after training at Suam and slumped onto the bed.

김석진

"Hey. Why don't you wash up?"

민윤기

"I swear, the smell of sweat is insane."

이민혁

"Ugh. Let's rest. I don't even have the strength to stand up."

Just then, Namjoon approached Minhyuk.

이민혁

"?"

김남준

"here."

Namjoon held out a notebook.

이민혁

"what?"

김남준

Make sure to fill in the missing parts from today's class.

김태형

As expected, the top class.

이민혁

"Aren't you even thinking of telling me?"

김태형

Well, you need to know something first. Haha.

이민혁

"Sigh..."

이민혁

"Hey. I'm taking a shower."

김석진

"Please."

It was late at night, so when Minhyuk came out after washing up, the lights were off and everyone was asleep.

이민혁

"Wow... Are you going to sleep first...? That's too much."

이민혁

I need to dry my hair... and I can't sleep, so I guess I'll go for a walk.

Minhyuk was walking outside the darkened school, drying his hair with a towel.

이민혁

It's quiet...

이민혁

Shall we head inside now?

Just then, voices were heard from the direction of the library.

You're doing well, right?

이민혁

Who is it? At this hour....

Minhyuk quietly approached the source of the voice.

김남준

Yes. So far, things are going well.

이민혁

What? It's Namjoon?

김남준

"Yes... Yes. I understand."

Namjoon ran into Minhyuk while trying to leave after finishing a conversation with someone.

김남준

"W-what is this?"

김남준

Did you hear that?

이민혁

"what?"

김남준

"Did you hear that?!"

이민혁

"No, I just came over because I heard someone talking..."

김남준

"ha..."

김남준

Keep it a secret that you saw me today.

이민혁

"... I don't know what it is, but I understand."

김남준

"What? You understand?"

김남준

What do you want?

이민혁

Do you really have to want something?

김남준

"......"

이민혁

I'll keep it a secret. Don't worry.

김남준

Okay. Thank you.

이민혁

"So this was the reason you were always out and didn't come back until late at night?"

김남준

"... I had to study, but there's this reason too."

이민혁

"okay...?"

이민혁

It's late, so let's go inside.

김남준

"... okay."

Namjoon spoke to me while I was returning to my room.

김남준

"Brother... but..."

김남준

"Brother, seriously... can you ride a dragon?"

이민혁

"Dragon? Ah, Suam?"

김남준

"huh."

이민혁

"You can... ride a dragon."

김남준

"really?"

이민혁

"Yeah. It's not as hard as I thought."

김남준

"I heard that dragons become living beings from their own magic. Is that true?"

Namjoon, who was pouring out various questions, was a person no different from others, waiting for answers with eyes sparkling—completely different from the quiet and cold person he used to be.

이민혁

"Hmm... you do look a lot like me."

김남준

"Wow... that's fascinating."

When I arrived at the room and opened the door, the other three roommates were fast asleep, just as they had been when Minhyuk left.

김남준

Sleep well.

이민혁

You're sleeping really well.

이민혁

Good night to you too.

김남준

"Yeah. Me too."

Since it was already quite late, the two fell asleep quickly.

Um... today I’ve brought a map to help you and me understand(?). (Please view it vertically.)

I lacked the ideas to create a map from scratch, so I used a map of Gyeongnam.

Anyway, I hope this was helpful.

Please leave lots of comments!

Thank you for reading today!
