Your Majesty, I love you.

[Join] Romance Fantasy, Researcher X Test Subject Part 2

박우진

Please don't get hurt. You're a rookie, and if you're going to act like that now, what are you going to do in the future?

김동현

It's not that I wanted to do it... It just happened that way.

I held his bleeding arm and treated him. What on earth were they fighting for that the knife marks were so clear? I wasn't even hurt, but tears welled up in my eyes. "Mr. Woo, you're the one who caused this. I'm not like this.

박우진

So don't be nice to me. What if you die because of me? Don't blame me after you die.

김동현

I just want to be with you...

He was sullen and his voice was extremely calm, but I found his insignificant demeanor endearing. Was this how researchers were always like? Were we chatting while treating someone, and a few minutes of chatter that would be normal for some people brought me great happiness. I felt grateful just for being there for him.

박우진

"I wish I could just keep smiling like this. I don't expect much, just this much, just like normal people."

김동현

Aaah, it hurts... I can't do my research anymore. Should I just run away with you?

박우진

Hey, if you run away with me, there'll be chaos here. You shouldn't even joke about that.

I know because I've been through it so many times. Especially in this mess. I wanted to just run away with them, but it was obvious we'd get caught anyway, so why bother with such foolish suffering? I sighed deeply at the daily routine that remained the same 365 days a year.

박우진

If you're going to run away, go alone. If a researcher runs away, they'll probably do it.

김동현

I'm not that selfish, am I? I'll go with you. You're not happy, and I'm the only one...

박우진

It's been like that all along, so it doesn't matter?

Actually, it does matter. Of course it doesn't. No matter how much you've been locked up for your entire life, you get used to being confined, right? You just pretend everything's fine on the outside. I hate showing off how hard it is and making others suffer too.

박우진

So, I'm telling you to stop worrying and find a way to save yourself first.

김동현

What are you talking about, I'm really confident I won't die? Look at this, it's so vibrant!!

When I poked its side, it screamed, "Ah, aah." Ah, this is what a normal person looks like. Now I know. After poking it a few times, it seemed like it was going to die, so I stopped and treated its wounds. How did this kid, so weak, get here? It's a wonder.

김동현

But...can't we go out somewhere just once, just once? You're bored too, aren't you!

박우진

Where? It'll probably be a garden, I guess.

김동현

No, no! How about an amusement park? Before I die, I want to do everything I want with you. I really want you to be happy.

박우진

Oh, an amusement park? That place I've only heard about?

The amusement park I imagine is a place where everyone gathers, rides all sorts of strange rides, and their happiness levels soar. But what if I, a test subject, were to go among all those people? To that paradise?

김동현

I'll take care of the rest. Just think of it as me playing around and come here just this once!

박우진

Then let's go... You have to risk your life to go to an amusement park.

김동현

Okay - enjoy it while it lasts. Then, are you going tomorrow?

박우진

Can I go tomorrow? Right away? Isn't it like waiting about a month?

"Huh?" he said, chuckling. "M-maybe you don't know. I don't know anything about the outside world." He continued laughing, and I poked him in the ribs again. "He's perceptive, so he becomes quiet at times like this."

김동현

Okay, now just prepare to be happy. I'll take care of it.

박우진

Yes, yes. Be quiet before I stab you again.

Yeah, so far so good. Unlike before, I thought something happy would come my way. I thought everything would be fine with that person. I should've known sooner that even that would be fleeting.

김동현

Wow - today was really fun, wasn't it? Look, it's such a fun place.

박우진

It was scary, but still fun. I didn't know a place like this really existed in the world.

I simply admired the scenery illuminated by colorful lights. Occasionally, I'd see people smiling brightly. Perhaps because I'm not used to seeing smiling faces, seeing them made me happy. Before I knew it, I was smiling, the corners of my mouth raised.

김동현

Are you happy, Woojin?

박우진

...Yeah, thanks.

The question, "Are you happy?" made me burst into tears. I never imagined I could feel such joy. I lived believing it would never end, feeling hopeless. Oh, what would I have done if I hadn't met Kim Dong-hyun?

박우진

I'm not good at expressing myself, but I'm really grateful. I just hope you understand.

김동현

I know, that's why you're so cute-

박우진

Oh, that's not the answer I wanted!!

I couldn't believe I was smiling while saying these words. I was truly happy. I wanted to tell him, who was with me, that I loved him, that I had come to love him.

After a few months, we became so close that we forgot we were researchers and test subjects. Surprisingly, no one tried to stop us, just watching. At first, we were suspicious, but now we didn't care. What could we do when we were that good?

박우진

Bro, the roses are blooming now too? These flowers are really pretty.

김동현

Time has already flown by so quickly. Ah, I should quit my research position, but I can't.

박우진

Hey, hey? Are you going to leave me now? How can I live when I miss you, hyung!

Actually, it was time to leave at this point, but I found it so surprising that he didn't quit. I guess it's because the researchers around him have given up and are keeping quiet. Oh, I don't know if they've given up or if they're just gossiping somewhere else.

박우진

Never, never go. I can't live without you, hyung.

김동현

How could I live without you? When did we become so attached?

We happily walked hand in hand through a field of roses, chatting. We loved passionately, just like the red rose. We gazed at the bright stars at night, sharing a glance at each other's faces. Then, suddenly, a deafening sound was heard.

박우진

...brother...?

Surely not. By the time I thought that, I was already sprawled on the floor, bleeding profusely. I couldn't count how many times I heard a gunshot. Seeing the blood on my hands, I remained still, like a stone statue. Is this a lie? A dream? Someone tell me otherwise.

My hands gripped the thorny rose, dyed crimson with blood. Without even feeling the pain, I unleashed my superpowers on them. Apparently, the researchers had blocked their ability to use it normally, but it worked.

박우진

Arms, legs, neck... where should I start tearing them off, researchers?

The once bright sky turned the color of blood. Screams, the sound of something being torn, the sound of evil laughter. Probably no one here is immune to madness. I, too, walked around unscathed after being shot.

박우진

But you guys are the crazy ones... I, I'm just giving back tenfold what I've been given.

I'll kill you painfully. I'll make you feel nothing but pain for hours. What, I'm just using a few of the superpowers you gave me, so why are you scared? Why are you in pain? What hurts? Why? Why? Are you in pain? Just don't kill me comfortably.

"Save me, please save me...!!"

박우진

I want you to beg me to kill you... but not yet.

Death and separation. After a time like war, I gazed at the rose, stained crimson with blood. It felt just like me, just like how I feel right now.

박우진

We agreed to go together wherever we go. I'll go with you, hyung. Just wait a moment.

The rose died as its thorns dug into its flesh. "Brother, I'll ascend with many souls. But don't blame me for this."

휘슬 / 로휘

It wasn't a very good ending...haha I tried my best to avoid being too cruel...!! This time, it wasn't that scary.

휘슬 / 로휘

Oh, and this material was given to me by my friend. He saw me struggling and gave me the material right away. Hahaha. It's the best.

휘슬 / 로휘

Is there one more event application left? That's the topic that my friend asked me to do👍🏻

휘슬 / 로휘

Then thank you so much for watching this episode🙏🏻 See you in the next episode >_<
