Chapter 4: PARALLEL WORLD
"I WANT to go back to the time before my parents' accident," Haneul made it much clearer. Then he did not forget to add, "With all of my memories intact."
That was the start of his family's tragedy. If he could go back and prevent that, then the fate of his family could be changed. Then he could also change the path that his life had taken.
From what Yeomra had said about that child who was destined for greatness, it could be concluded that one's fate could be altered. Even if that child was just accidentally put on the list of people who would die today, his death was still set in stone. Haneul's intervention altered that fate, saving him from death.
This meant that a person's action could change another person's destiny. If Haneul could do it for that child, then he certainly could do it for his family as well.
He looked at Yeomra, staring at the other with eyes full of intensity.
"That's an interesting choice."
When he heard that comment, hope bloomed inside him. Thinking that what he proposed was possible. But Yeomra's next words dashed that hope into smithereens.
"Unfortunately, I don't have the power to do that."
Haneul quickly wilted when he heard that. He wanted to shout at the other, to rage, and just to scream at the top of his lungs. But he knew nothing would change even if he did that. He had experienced so many setbacks in life that at this point, he no longer had the strength left in him to get angry.
"That event had already come to pass. If I let you travel back in time with your present memories, it will disrupt that world's timeline and a lot of bad consequences might result to that."
Haneul no longer cared. He didn't even want to hear the other's explanation. What's the use of that when nothing would change?
"Yes!"
Yeomra nodded. "Then I wish you good luck."
The other clapped his hands. Then a light pillar appeared from above and enveloped Haneul's whole body.
Before he completely disappeared from that white space, he heard Yeomra say, "Oh right, I just gave you a blessing. Whether it becomes a gift or a curse is up to you."
And that was accompanied by a grin, as if he found this whole situation amusing.
After Haneul completely disappeared from where he was standing, Yeomra looked into the distance and smiled.
"Oh, it seems that I have another interesting guest."
Yeomra changed his appearance once again as he waited for the arrival of this guest. As he was doing that, he started evaluating the other's soul. Once he finished his evaluation, a wry smile appeared on his lips. Because the death of this 'guest' seemed to be another mistake.
Was it time to hire new employees?
Finally, the new guest appeared. Feeling inspired by his interaction with Haneul, the first thing he asked was;
"Do you want to go back to the past?"
