5 years later.
A girl sitting on a sofa in the living room where a wedding photo was hung was fiddling with a model of a school with an expression of deep thought.
“Kuronica, is this the school where you first met?”
“Yes, my grandfather made it.”
“Wow. “Xian is also happy to see his dad at school.”
Yoo Ah-ram looked embarrassed as his daughter clearly stated what she wanted in a charming tone.
“Hmm, let’s ask Dad for a favor when he comes.”
“Acquaintance?”
“Okay, if Xian asks, dad will do it too, right?”
Lee Sian smiled at Yoo Ah-ram’s words and looked at the clock.
The clock showed 6 PM.
“yes! “By the way, when is Dad coming?”
“maybe… Won’t it arrive soon?”
Shuung!
At that time, a light flashed outside the front door.
Lee Sian noticed the light coming from under the front door and ran to the door.
“It’s dad!!”
“Sian! “Daddy’s here!”
“Daddy!”
“Oh, was our Sian having fun with mom?”
I picked up my daughter, Sian, who looked like she had been stabbed by Yoo Ah-ram.
The more I looked at my daughter, the cuter she was.
After becoming the guild master of the Siwoo guild, marrying Yoo Ah-ram, and having a daughter, I was living happily every day.
“yes! “Today, I was looking at the school model that my grandfather gave me!”
“Model school?”
“This is it.”
Yoo Ah-ram held up the model of Gakseong High School created by Lee Si-hyeon.
A school containing my father’s talent, ‘Barrier’. It had been a long time since we had seen each other since our wedding.
“dad! “I also want to go to the school my dad went to!”
Is this why fathers say they want daughters?
My daughter, who didn’t mind putting it in her eyes, was making a cute expression and asking for a favor.
“Yes, yes. “Let’s go see the school with Dad and Mom!”
“Jingjja? Jingjja?!”
Sian’s eyes sparkled as if she was excited when she was asked to go see the school.
“But not today.”
“Hmm.”
“It’s hard for Dad to come back from work.”
“Uhm… … .”
“instead! “Sian’s birthday happens to be two days later, so let’s go then.”
“Algesso! “Kkokko on Sian’s birthday!”
Seeing that Sian was happy, I looked back at Yoo Ah-ram.
The squinting of his eyes seemed like he had a good idea.
After dinner and covering Sian, who had fallen asleep early, with a blanket, I went out to the living room and sat on the sofa.
Yoo Ah-ram, who was sitting on the sofa first, leaned on my shoulder when I sat down on the sofa.
I asked Yoo Ah-ram while stroking his hair.
“Do you have any ideas? “I would have been fine if I went today.”
“Ah, the model your father made is not just a model. So, I thought it would be a good idea to have Sian’s birthday party there in two days.”
“Inside the barrier?”
“yes. “In order to sell memories, I’m going to sing it to everyone.”
I looked worried at Yoo Ah-ram’s words.
“It’s a good idea, but can everyone come?”
“If he says he won’t come, please tell him that he will be uploading a video titled ‘Chilseong’s Past’ on each tube.”
I burst out laughing at those words.
“If I don’t want the news to appear, I have to come no matter what happens?”
9.
Two days later, on Lee Sian’s birthday.
Today, the beautifully dressed Lee Sian finally got the chance to visit the school his mom and dad attended.
“tail! tail!”
At Siwoo Guild’s headquarters, Lee Sian keeps a model of the school in front of him, and he keeps screaming! They were shouting “Kko!”
“I see him every year, but he’s growing well unlike anyone else.”
“Hwang Da-bin.”
“Oh, sorry. But what about the other kids?”
“They say they’re coming. “What about Taeyang?”
“The baby’s father is planning to bring her. “There’s a lot of fuss these days about Taeyang training.”
“A 5-year-old… ?”
“Dragons need to be trained from a young age. “I told you to be prepared to be nerfed for the rest of your life if you get hurt, so I won’t give you a hard time.”
Hwang Da-bin married Yoon Mir and had a son.
“Do you think Yunmir is still the same as before?”
“You’re not that different from the old days, are you?”
Hwang Da-bin looked angry at Ban Hye-jin’s words.
Ban Hye-jin laughed at the sight and approached Lee Sian.
“Sian, you like your aunt, do you like that aunt?”
“yes? Aunt Hyejin! “Aunt Dabin is scared.”
“Oh my, my aunt will have fun playing with us when Xian goes to school!”
“yes!!”
Hwang Da-bin looked dumbfounded at the sight of the two.
Somehow, I felt betrayed.
“You took a hit.”
Kang Ha-rin, who was standing next to Hwang Da-bin, said something to Hwang Da-bin, and Ji Tae-hoon burst out laughing.
“Kkkkk, you can’t beat kids.”
“Hey, Ji Tae-hoon. “If I laugh any more, I’ll die?”
At that time, Selina and Yoo Ah-ram came into the room where they were gathered.
“Everyone, the setting is finished~”
Yoo Ah-ram wanted to record this monumental day in a vlog, and since it was a regular occurrence, others agreed with Yoo Ah-ram.
“Selina… “Xian says he’s scared of me.”
“So, I should have behaved better on a regular basis.”
“too bad! Even Selina!”
“Aunt Selina!”
When Lee Sian, who found Selina, ran to her and hugged her, Hwang Da-bin muttered.
“Even Selina betrayed me… … .”
Selina, holding Lee Sian, had a bright smile different from before.
It was the smile of a winner.
“So now, as long as Yoon Mir comes, we’re all there?”
At my muttering, Jeong Ju-won and Choi Seol came inside from outside.
It seemed like Choi Seol had again told Jeong Ju-won to bring him in.
“Gilma, it would be a pity if you left us out.”
“Ah, Seol-ah.”
I completely ignored Jeong Ju-won and welcomed Choi Seol next to Jeong Ju-won.
“Hmph, if it wasn’t for Xian, I wouldn’t have come.”
“Yes, yes. “Is your teacher well?”
“Dad, you’re busy playing around these days.”
After saying that, Choi Seol glanced at Selina.
These days, heroes come and go often, and among them, Choi Kang often hangs out with Claire.
“I can’t even see these things, right?”
Yoo Ah-ram scolded Jeong Joo-won for his mutterings, which were ignored.
“Joowon, you always stick to Siwoo like a stick of gum and nag him, so that’s why he’s like that. “I heard you are more like a wife than me?”
“what? Even if Lee Si-woo had handled the paperwork properly… … .”
“Kkkkk, it’s a joke. “I heard Joowon has something to tease.”
“Samchoon, are you still bothering my dad these days?”
“Oh, no… … .”
When Lee Si-an even threw a word at Jeong Ju-won, Jeong Ju-won showed disapproval.
“Look at him panicking.”
“It’s still the same, Jeong Ju-won.”
Jeong Joo-won, who had suddenly become a laughing stock, burst into laughter.
Still, it was nice to see everyone smiling after a long time.
“Sorry, I’m a little late, right?”
At that time, Mir Yoon came in carrying Taeyang Yoon.
“oh! “It’s the sun!”
“Dad, please get off.”
“okay.”
Yoon Tae-yang came down from Yoon Mir’s arms and presented a gift to Lee Sian.
“I picked it up when I came. happy birthday.”
“Fuha!”
“What is that comment… … .”
“Isn’t that something that would come out of the mouth of a five-year-old?”
“What did you teach Taeyang!”
Whether the adults laughed or not, Lee Sian accepted the gift offered by Taeyang Yoon and exclaimed.
“Hehe, thank you!”
Yoon Tae-yang blushed at that smile, and the people who saw him went crazy.
“Taeyang just got embarrassed, right?”
“Siwoo, Taeyang is seducing Sian!”
“Isn’t it the opposite?”
Even though she is my daughter, I burst out laughing when I saw her smiling wickedly.
If it grew just a little bit, it seemed like it would make a lot of men cry.
“Well, it looks like everyone has arrived, shall we go in?”
“That is the Awakening High School that Sihyeon created.”
“You said it was implemented as it was in the past, so everyone get ready to reminisce.”
Yoo Ah-ram held the camera and held out his hand to Lee Sian.
“Okay then, Sian. let’s go!”
“yes! Kkoko!!”
10.
After gathering for the first time in a while, we entered the awakening high school created by my father, Lee Si-hyeon.
“Wow, this is a barrier?”
“Does it seem real?”
When we arrived in front of the main gate, we felt like we had gone back to our freshman days.
“Come on, everyone, don’t be so surprised. “Please gather in front of the main gate.”
“why?”
“Why, I have to take a picture.”
“what picture?”
“A commemorative photo commemorating Sian’s birthday and friends gathering for the first time in a long time.”
“Sadin Sadin!”
While Yoo Ah-ram was setting up the camera, we began to gather in front of the main gate.
“The timer is 10 seconds! The first pose is the ‘Happy birthday, Sian~’ pose!”
“… “What pose is that?”
“Oh, just do whatever you want!”
We laughed at Yoo Ah-ram’s shout and looked at Lee Sian, who was striking a cool pose in the center.
“Then I pressed it!”
Yoo Ah-ram, who quickly moved and stood behind Sian, looked at the camera, and my other friends and I also looked at Sian and the camera and smiled.
“Three, two, one!”
“Sian! happy birthday!”
click!
The moment the photo was taken, the world once again turned gray.
“This… … .”
[The readers got the ending they wanted. Return is in progress.]
return?
Whose will it be?
I had clearly declared that I would stay here.
Even though it was a fictional world, the people I loved actually existed here.
I couldn’t go back.
“I told you before! “I won’t go back!”
[According to the world rules, readers have seen the ending they wanted, so they must return to the original world.]
“You bastards! I’m definitely not going back… … .”
Light fell from the sky against my will and engulfed me.
The moment debt enveloped my entire body, I looked at Yoo Ah-ram and Lee Sian, who were smiling brightly.
“… Hang in there. “I will definitely come back.”
Shuuuk!
I was led up to the sky by the light.
***
“Ugh… … .”
When I came to my senses, I realized that this was the studio I originally lived in.
In a dark room, the light from the monitor screen was visible.
again… I’m back.
To the room where web novel writer Lee Do-yoon lived.
Before becoming Lee Si-woo.
came back.
‘I have to go back again.’
Thinking that the person who sent me there would know how to get back into the novel, I grabbed the mouse and started looking through the mail.
Obviously, it all started with a ‘ghostwriting offer’ email sent to me by the author of ‘The Post-Apocalyptic World’.
“… doesn’t exist?”
No matter how much I searched through my sent and received mailboxes, I couldn’t find any emails exchanged with the author of ‘Ise’.
“why… … . “We must have exchanged emails!”
Unable to find the email, I quickly turned on my smartphone and searched for ‘world after the apocalypse’.
I had to go into the writer’s account and send a message to ask what happened.
As I searched for the work and tried to find the author’s account, I muttered with an expression of disbelief.
“… “Well, what is it?”
[No results were found for your search.]
No matter how much I searched, the work ‘The World After the Apocalypse’ did not come up.
It’s as if there never was such a work from the beginning.
It had disappeared from the world.
“This can’t be happening…” … .”
no way… Was everything I went through a dream?
That couldn’t have been possible.
I remember it so vividly.
From the memories of the 1st time to the memories of the 3rd time.
And after that, I remember so clearly the memories of marrying Yoo Ah-ram, giving birth to Lee Sian, and living happily for five years, but all of this couldn’t have been a dream.
I had a Korean window appear on my monitor.
To prove that what was in the novel was not a dream, I started writing down the things I had experienced in the blank Korean window.
