Would Anyone Care Where We Started?{Haitus}

Chapter 4: Imposter

As he arrived on the riverbank of the Han river, the indirect messages from the constellations appeared in front of him. Yoo Joonghyuk could not help but to deepen his scowl in annoyance.

[ The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' jaws-dropped at your strength ]

[ 500 coins have been sponsored ]

[ The constellation 'Demon-like Judge Fire' is touched by your brave action ]

[ 1.000 coins have been sponsored ]

[ The constellation Secretive Plotter is looking on with interest ]

[ 800 coins have been sponsored ]

[ The constellation 'Prisoner of The Golden Headband' asks what is your relationship with her? ]

[ 700 coins have been sponsored ]

[ A few constellations protest that they can't see the character's descriptions belong to you and the woman in your arms ]

Yoo Joonghyuk frowned and looked down. Not even his Sage's Eyes Skill could see her description, just like the old time. Was it because of the Secretive Plotter's doing? Also, what made them unable to see his and Dokja's description? Obviously, it was not the work of the Fourth Wall, since that guy did no exist in Kim Dokja anymore.

[ The Kim Dokja you know has scattered to the rest of the universe already ]

Yoo Joonghyuk shuddered at the remembrance of the Fourth Wall's words.

Lying her down on the ground, he quickly checked her pulse and breath. Still breathing, only sleeping. Yoo Joonghyuk swore, for the years of watching over here in this world-line, he could have gotten heart attack because of her, multiple times "It's not too late... I'm not late. You must not die in this place, Kim Dokja".

"Unbelievable... You could kill that Ichthyosaur only with your sword while carrying that unconscious woman", Bihyung appeared, floating behind him as Yoo Joonghyuk was busy inspecting Kim Dokja's wound "You could have ignored her. Why did you save her?".

Yoo Joonghyuk started to treat her wound, completely ignoring the Dokkaebi "Do I need a reason to save someone precious for me?".

Bihyung gasped when the Constellations seemed to have an interest in this guy (why could they not?) "Oh, so you know each other?".

"My Junior back in the school".

"Only your Junior?".

What was this interrogation all of sudden? Yoo Joonghyuk thought before the indirect messages popped up.

[ The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' finds the entire situation is amusing ]

[ The constellation 'Demon-like Judge Fire' screeches in a blood-curling scream ]

[ The constellation 'Demon-like Judge Fire' demands you to tell them what do you mean with precious? ]

[ The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' says that incarnation 'Yoo Joonghyuk' don't look like the type of a man who will willingly sacrifice his life unless that woman is precious for you ]

[ The constellation 'Prisoner of The Golden Headband' says it makes sense ]

A vein popped on Yoo Joonghyuk's head. He felt like wanting to snap at them, to just mind their own business. However, he thought it would not be bad to annoy the Secretive Plotter. With that resolve on his heart, looking behind, Yoo Joonghyuk smirked and said clearly, as if he declared war to certain someone "She is my Life and Death Companion".

Of course, Kim Dokja was a precious person for him.

Kim Dokja was the one who brought him out from the prison of his pride. He reached out for his hope. He might not have realized it, but he was so much bigger than the world Yoo Joonghyuk has made. In the end, he was realizing that he was never meant to fight on his own. He had been stuck in the cage of his doubt. He tried getting out on his own that felt like forever, like an eternity. Then, he came. Because of Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk changed his way. He still remembered the things that he told him, that he need not fight alone anymore, that he would be his companion.
