The Hero Volume 7 Chapter 15

The Hero

Volume 7 – Disjunction

Chapter 15

"You really did pass away in this world."

It was weird. There was no sense of reality. Was it because Haneul hadn't personally witnessed his father passing? It just felt like his father was somewhere far away, and silently working.

Haneul had stood at the same spot for a while, then he turned around.

He seemed to have accepted the reality of things.

As he walked out of the cemetery, he stared up at the clear sky.

"Everything seems the same……"

In retrospect, Haneul had adapted at a very fast rate. And, occasionally, he found that he had changed a bit inside.

Accepting the fact that he was a Hero, Haneul lightly embraced the world where disaster filled rifts existed. It may have been because Haneul from World B had naturally mixed together with Haneul from World A. That's why, he was much more daring and driven compared to the him from the past.

Haneul went towards the information center.

"What can I help you with?"

"I heard there was a special place you guys enshrined Heroes in?"

"You just have to go towards that direction."

National Cemetery.

It was the second National Cemetery that was specifically made to house the death of Heroes that died during rifts. In this world, it was a local place, but in World A, it wasn't.

This place only enshrined the Heroes that had died in rifts.

After finishing up his conversation with Ironman at the Hospital, Haneul had to meet a certain Hero here no matter what. He was currently enshrined at this National Cemetery.

Right as he was about to get on the bus that would lead him to his destination.

"Hey, hold on a sec."

A middle-aged woman had grabbed onto Haneul.

Haneul turned his head and stared at her. It was a face he did not recognize. However, the lady seemed to have an expression that she recognized him. She then smiled as if she was delighted to meet him.

"Ah, I was right! I wasn't mistaken. Good to see you. You're Haneul, right?"

"I'm sorry, but who are you?"

"I'm JoonYoung's mom. You don't recognize me? I'm a little disappointed."

JoonYoung?

At that moment, Haneul's face became stiff.

JoonYoung Lee was his best friend in middle school. The middle-aged lady that was in front of him currently, was JoonYoung's mother. Haneul now recognized her face.

"Oh, it was you ma'am. Why……"

Haneul shut his mouth.

During middle school, JoonYoung had died because of a traffic accident. And, even without asking JoonYoung's mother, it was plain to see why she was here at the cemetery.

'So, JoonYoung was also sleeping here.'

Haneul had no idea.

To think JoonYoung, who he had spent every day of his junior high school life with, would be sleeping here.

"What a coincidence though. To think that I would meet you here……….do you have someone to meet here?"

"Yes, my………dad is here."

"Ah, I see."

"Is……….he here?"

"Yeah. Do you want to meet him before you leave?"

Without hesitating, Haneul decided to follow JoonYoung's mother.

Going back into the entrance, they turned to the right and walked further in. It was the complete opposite direction of where his father was. After a little while, JoonYoung's mother suddenly stopped.

This seemed to be the location that JoonYoung was currently sleeping at.

"JoonSung, I'm back. I've even brought your brother's friend this time."

"What?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Haneul blinked his eyes.

JoonSung? JoonYoung's younger brother?

Something was wrong.

Stepping closer, Haneul confirmed the picture and name.

He then frowned.

Is was the same day that JoonYoung had died. However……

'JoonSung Lee?'
