Senescence

Notes:

All conclusions made weren't failures. Some were more gruesome or painful than others, but some have a happy feel.

"Ahjussi..."

The longing Shin Yoosung mumbled as she stared at the sleeping person on top of the hospital bed. Her flowing hair swayed side to side, she could still remember the days it was still short.

Her stature changed as days passed, along with the others. The once cute child turned into a beautiful lady.

"Hyung—oh, Yoosung."

The surprised Lee Gilyoung stared at the sight before him. He grew up well, as well. His matured face contorted into a struggling one. Myriad of emotions were present on both of their faces.

Today marks another year of waiting for Kim Dokja to wake up. Today, marks another year of longingness, painful sufferings.

They were only two at the moment, but soon enough this hospital room will be filled again.

Despite the evidence of the Star Stream's return, the constellation who dreamed of the conclusion the most was the only one who has not yet seen it. That constellation, a former incarnation existing within the hard scenarios trying to break free from it all, the person who sacrificed himself the most. Kim Dokja layed lifeless, no signs of waking up.

The loud creak of the door alerted them of the person quickly entering.

"Noona."

"Eonni."

Han Sooyoung nodded her head in response to their greetings. As soon as she entered the room, her gaze lingered instantly on her enemy turned comrade.

She clenched her fists, seeing no change in his condition. She leisurely walked towards the former children she was once against with in the scenarios. These children were now more precious to her than her life.

Her occupation as a teacher wasn't filled with teaching at all, it was mostly filled with learning alongside her learners.

The former writer leaned against the wall. She waited for time to pass, and the room to be filled as usual.

Each passing second felt like a long time within the deafening silence they were in.

"How are the two of you?"

Han Sooyoung asked, attempting to break the ice.

"I'm fine, noona! But I'm still more superior than Yoosu—"

Tik!

Lee Gilyoung's response to her statement was rewarded by a slap to the cheek, brought to him by the Demon King of Salvation's former incarnation.

"Ouch! What was that for?"

"Superior, huh?"

He shuddered and faced a different direction. Seeing this reminded Han Sooyoung of her time as the first apostle.

She chuckled at the memories which came flooding back. It was inevitable, yes. Fun times were bound to end.

"Eonni... Dokja-ssi will wake up, right?"

Shin Yoosung's question brought Han Sooyoung back to reality. Yes, it was truly inevitable, their fun times together has come to an end.

Silence passed again.

Han Sooyoung leisurely stood up properly once more, and speeded up towards the door. She grabbed the handle and as she was about to walk out.

"Yes, he will. We all have faith in him."
