Chapter Text
J really didn’t understand why he was alive by now, everyone else died (He should have too, he failed them). All he did was swing his spear at monster after monster, he didn’t know if he had lost his sense of color by now or not.
It was all grey, white, or black. The only color was the blood that came when he slayed another enemy.
‘Why am I still alive.? Why am I the only one left? I don’t deserve to live… Maybe this is my punishment.’ J thought as he approached a building, it was broken and the ceiling was collapsed but it was still a place to stay.
He walked inside of it, his footsteps echoed lowly in the empty building as he walked to a corned. He had long run out of all supplies, food, water, everything.
He felt empty, hallow, like he didn’t deserve to live, he didn’t. Not after he failed everyone, he had let them die.
He felt his breath getting quicker and before he knew it, he was pressing his nails into his skin. Crimson red blood dripped out of the fresh wound among the many on his arms, most all self inflicted.
Suddenly his vision went dark and he immediately tried to fight it, all too familiar with this feeling.
But he only fought it for a few seconds before his body went limp and his eyes closed, a few tears streaming down his face under his mask that was barely held together.
……
“Um… Is this the Awakened Management Bureau.?”
“Yes, who is this and what is the reason for your call?”
“I found a young man with terrible injuries and he…”
“He’s what?”
“He’s wearing J’s mask…”
Immediately the one from the Bureau felt his eyes widen, he immediately called his supervisor over to hear this.
“Ma’am, I need you to tell us where he is!”
“U-Um right! He’s at a hangover soup restaurant-”
“I’m sending someone over there now but please make sure that he’s alive.”
“He is, but… his wounds…”
“His wounds are terrible, a few look self inflicted and he’s so thin…”
Just as the caller finished speaking the worker saw Jung bin walking over to him with a look that screamed worry, and disbelief.
“Just a second ma’am…” The worker clocked the mute button and looked at his supervisor, he knew that Jung bin was quite close to J in the past and he also knew that Jung bin had given up on the home that J was alive after 8 years of being in that damn rift.
“Where did she say he was?”
“She said he was at a hangover soup restaura-”
Suddenly they heard a scream come from the phone and the worker unmuted, asking worriedly if the woman was alright.
“I-I’m fine, but someone is coming over here. It’s—”
The women stopped talking but Jung bin heard a distinct sound, one that he knew all too well.
A sizzling sound, like something was burned.
“Excuse me, but don’t send someone here and instead go to the Pado guild building.” Jung bin sighed as he heard the voice. “Lee Sa-young…”
“Hello, Jung bin. I have him so don’t worry, I wouldn’t even think about hurting him.” Jung bin could easily tell that Lee Sa-young seemed happier than normal, but Jung bin really didn’t trust it.
He sighed and rubbed his forehead, closing his eyes for a moment before responding. “Alright, we’ll sound our employees to the Pado guild building and I’ll also call Nam Woo-jin to check on him.”
“See you soon.”
The line hung up and Jung bin opened his eyes, the worker seemed nervous but also seemed to be full of a hope that J might really be back and alive.
“Head over to the Pado guild building with the director and I’ll call Nam Woo-jin.”
Even though Jung bin gave up hope a long time ago, he really hoped that this was the real J…
