Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 4)

Chapter 780: The Last (13)

'Yes, fuck. Thank you. We're best friends. I didn't forget you.'

I felt gratitude towards Cho Hyejin's reaction. I knew that she enjoyed spending time with me, but I didn't know she was thinking about me to this extent.

'She's my best friend.'

But I couldn't smile. Apart from the pleasant reaction of Cho Hyejin, it was because I was in cold sweat too.

I was even more nervous than them.

'Why are you doing that when even Hayan isn't moving?'

Even Jung Hayan was silent in that situation. Contrary to my expectations that she would claim to be my soul mate, she maintained a very calm appearance.

I gave the oracle when Park Deokgu and Jung Hayan were there, so she knew it wasn't meant for them, but if it was the usual her, wouldn't she act stubbornly even for a moment?

The way she acted at that moment told me how mature she had grown.

'Try to be like Hayan...'

She actually seemed to be a little interested in it, but she completely turned off her attention after it was revealed that the person the oracle referred to was Kim Hyunsung.

She must've been somewhat convinced that Kim Hyunsung was my soulmate. I didn't expect the others to make more fuss than her.

"Gosh, what should I..."

They kept waiting, but when nothing changed, Cho Hyejin looked around with an uneasy face, while Kim Hyunsung, who was looking up at the statue with his eyes opened, was still convinced.

'Fuck...'

I could see that Cho Hyejin quietly walked little by little. She had probably thought that if she got close to the statue, it might react.

Cho Hyejin didn't have the courage to openly approach Kim Hyunsung and say, 'I don't think it's you.'

No, it wouldn't have been easy for anyone to do that.

It didn't make sense to do something unexpected at a very solemn religious event.

I didn't want to betray Kim Hyunsung's expectations, believing that he was my soulmate.

When there was no response from the statue, the believers started to send more fervent prayers. The hymns got louder and louder, and the festival awaiting for the advent began to come to life once again.

The sky was changing color because the sun was slowly setting, but it seemed that they thought that I would reveal myself before the sunset completely disappeared.

They were convinced that I would certainly appear before the sun could go down.

"I can't go. Really..."

The atmosphere started to change a little after a few more minutes, and when there was no reaction, I could hear a little murmur of disappointment from the crowds.

Some people were sad, and the priests dispatched from the Church were talking amongst themselves with serious faces. While I could see that the Blue Guild members were still in a row, only Cho Hyejin came out to the front and stuck to the statue.

Kim Hyunsung, that bastard, still had a face that didn't seem to have any doubts. He seemed to think there was no way I wouldn't show up.

-Kiyoung... If you can hear my voice...

'Yes, I can hear your voice.'

-Could you answer me?

'It's a bit hard to answer.'
