Chapter 245: Celebratory Party (1)
Lee Shinhyuk He glared at the empty air and violently clenched his jaw. How had he felt in the original timeline if even the memory of it made him want to tear Shinhyuk apart? I dont know if I was there or not, but He wouldve heard the news later. How had he reacted the moment he heard Ha-eun died? How much would it have twisted his mentality?
"Ugh!" He curled up even more, clutching his head in terrible pain as a pressure akin to a hydraulic press assaulted his skull.
-Tiring!
[Part of Awakener Lee Shinhyuk was successfully inherited.]
[The Black Heavens eighth awakening has strengthened Transmission.]
[The Black Heavens new trait, Deja Vu () has been acquired.]
A message appeared in front of his eyes.
Deja Vu? He pressed on the blue window with the new skill on it.
[Deja Vu () - When certain situations and conditions are met, you can acquire some of the absorbed Awakeners memory]
In other words, it means that Transmission could be activated through methods other than the Black Heavens awakening, but "What are those situations and conditions?" It was a fairly vague explanation.
He stared at the message window for a while before grabbing the folding knife at his waist. If Deja Vu is literally as its name suggests There was something he wanted to test.
Shling, click!
The knife transformed into a long spear after he channeled mana into it. He calmed his breathing and gripped the spear.
- Its because of me if I were a little stronger!
For a moment, he envisioned Shinhyuk practicing with the spear in an unknown forest; memories of spearmanship flooded his mind like a broken faucet.
[Your understanding of the Spearmanship of Pyxis has improved significantly!]
[Spearmanship of Pyxis has increased to Lv10.]
Keuk! His head throbbed with hot pain, as if someone had injected his skull with molten iron. He squinted and did his best to suppress the agony. As expected, were these the certain situations and conditions mentioned? Basically, it meant that Shinhyuks memories would flood into his head like deja vu whenever he experienced situations similar to those Shinhyuk had.
It\'s not an easy trait to use. Since the spear was Shinhyuk\'s main weapon, a sense of deja vu was triggered just by grabbing the spear, but it was otherwise difficult to similarly reproduce Shinhyuk\'s memories since he didnt even properly know the guy.
"It\'s better to hope that the situation overlaps by chance, like with real deja vu." Ohjin stood in the living room for a bit and went over the memories before sighing and turning his spear back into a knife.
A terrible silence fell once he stopped moving.
Tick tock
Each tick of the clock echoed like thunder.
The silence, which should have been normal, felt unbearable.
Get a hold of yourself. Ha-eun\'s death was a matter of her past lifeit was just a page of crumpled fate that had already \'not happened\'. There was no reason for him to be so nervous about it.
Haa, haa. Cold sweat fell from his forehead, and he loudly exhaled while trying to control the trembling in his hands. The unselected left path Ha-eun, who would have died alone there, kept coming to his mind like a terrible nightmare.
"Ha-eun" He missed her. No, he wanted to hear her voice at the very least. Ohjin shakily took out his smartphone and called her number.
Dudududud
The beeping sound felt like it went on for an eternity Ha-eun didn\'t answer the phone.
"Fuck!" He violently threw his phone and chewed his lips. Had something happened to her while he was away? Had she been kidnapped, like when he was kidnapped by Doyoon?
Damnit! Just as he was panicking and about to run to the Association, the front door opened, and a sweaty Ha-eun entered.
Click
She turned to Ohjin, a sports towel hanging around her neck, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Is the baptism over?" she asked.
It felt like his black-and-white world was being filled with color again, and the terrible fear filling his mind vanished like melting snow. Ha-eun Ohjin walked up to her and wrapped her in a tight hug.
"H-huh? Im all sweaty from training," she complained.
Of course, Ohjin didnt care. His shoulders shook as he felt her warmth through the hug.
Did something happen while you were being bapti Ha-eun suddenly stopped talking and gave him a closer look. "Are you crying?" Tears were flowing down his cheeks, and she reached out to wipe the tears away.
While she wasnt sure why he was suddenly crying, she smiled and patted him on the back. "It\'s okay. Im here." She felt his arms tighten around her. Awww, my baby. Whats wrong? she asked as if soothing a crying child.

Ohjin bowed his head and remained silent for a moment. He didnt mind telling her the truth, but he didnt want to talk about what hed seen. It was all in a different past, yet he didnt want to think about her dying after Shinhyuk abandoned her. "Its nothing."
"Is that so?" Ha-eun nodded as she stroked his cheek. "If you don\'t want to talk about it, then thats okay." She wanted to know why he was so anxious, but even so, she didn\'t want to force him to tell her.
Right now, I just She only wanted to comfort him. What should I do? All she could do was embrace him with her sweaty body. Shed been with him for a long time, but thats also why she couldnt think of a way to comfort him.
Come to think of it, I saw something like this on community forums before! She remembered an article titled, How to instantly relieve a husbands anger, or something like that. Of course, she wasnt married to him, and he wasnt angry, but \'I\'m sure it will work.\'
She gave him a serious look, slowly reached out to stroke his back, and put her face close to his, as if to kiss him. "Ohjin she murmured.
"Hmm?" he asked.
She stopped patting his back and gently took his hand. "Do you want to touch my chest?"
"What?" Ohjins mouth dropped open in disbelief. Her suggestion was so absurd that the tremors in his arms instantly vanished.
"As expected, it\'s effective!" Ha-eun proudly nodded to herself.

After she consoled him, Ha-eun playfully poked his cheek as he lay sleeping on the bed. "Hehe. You cute little bitch." She didnt usually feel like she was his senior, but she was full of satisfaction because shed been the one to lead him that time.
Ha-eun Hed been asleep and turned to his side to call her name.
"Huh?" She thought she had woken him, so she hurriedly pulled away. Fortunately, his eyes remained closed. Was he just talking in his sleep?
"Phew," she sighed in relief and looked down at him.
"Ugh, Ugh" He curled like a shrimp and sweated.
Was he having nightmares? She gave him a worried look.
Ha-eun"
"Yes, yes. I\'m right here." She lightly patted his shoulder.
D-dont he mumbled in his sleep.
"Huh?"
"Don\'t die, don\'t"
Her expression stiffened. Why was he being so anxious? Didnt he say that he received Shinhyuks memories or something? Did something bad happen to her in those memories? Really, this bitch. Its not even a big deal. Ha-eun smirked and leaned down to hug him.
Why did it matter if they knew where and how she died in a different life? She was alive and guarding him at the moment, which was all that mattered. I always will be She tightened her arms around him. In the past, when she thought he was saving money for Paradise, shed thought they could live separately.
That thought had changed. Im not going to let you go again. She would do anything for him, anything he wanted, anything to be with him Ohjin His warmth reached her, and other desires began to take hold as the euphoria of being so close to him spread.
"Ahem." She coughed at the sudden, insufferable desire. Youre sleeping, right? Ha-eun poked Ohjin\'s cheek. It didnt look like he was about to wake up.
"Haha." An insidious smile formed on her face as she slowly reached down, and
Ha-eun? Ohjin opened his eyes and turned to her.
H-huh? Y-youre awake? she cried out in noticeable panic.
"Why are you so flustered?" Ohjin narrowed his eyes and looked down at her awkwardly-positioned hand.
"Th-that\'s!" she stuttered as she awkwardly pulled back her hand.
"Did you try to do something weird while I was sleeping?" he asked.
She jumped up and shouted. "It\'s not like that! A-ahem! I mean, I let you touch me!"
"What?" What was she talking about all of a sudden?
I I figured it was okay to touch you since we both have two!
Two what?
Ill touch gently! she exclaimed.
"Shut up."
"I won\'t burst them!"
"Shut up, please."
