Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

“Ill be staying inside the workshop for a while,” said BM.

With a loosened gaze, Ha Saetbyul looked at him and giggled.

“Hihi, why…?”

“Taebaek died.”

“Euungg…?”

She asked, wondering what this was about.

“Thats all you need to know for now. Dont look for me and let Bell know as well.”

“Uhh… umm…”

Before Ha Saetbyul could say anything, the workshops door came to a close. Limply swaying her dull body, Ha Saetbyul peeked through the window of the workshop so BM closed the blinds.

“Haa…”

Left alone, she scratched her hair.

The workshop of the underground labyrinth was pitch dark when the light was turned off. It was different when the area was filled with incubators and test tubes. Back then, the fluids had been generating light so it was never dark even when the lights were off and BMs sleeping place had never been truly dark.

After making Jung Taebaek, he got rid of all the incubators and other apparatus which no longer served any purpose.

Even then, it was fine. Jung Taebaek was a child whose mere existence emitted light and it had never occurred to him that the workshop was dark.

And yet now that Jung Taebaek was no longer here.

The workshop with its light turned off, felt ever so dark.

“…”

Though he couldnt see anything, BM could see it – the workshop decorated like a playground area still had toys although the child had disappeared.

In any case, he wasnt my own child. He wasnt the child of my two friends either.

Thus, BM shouldve been able to get rid of all the toys, books and lego blocks that the child was playing with, as soon as he recovered his feelings.

So why was it that he still couldnt get rid of them?

BM reached forth and grasped the alphabet book which Jung Taebaek used to play with the most. Flipping past the first page, he found a name written with a scribble.

Jung Bongman

It was the first set of words Taebaek learned when he started learning the alphabet with Yu Yeorum.

‘Im your father.

‘My name is Jung Bongman.

Those were BMs words, facing the child who flowed out from the incubator with ambient fluids inside the boss room of an S ranked dungeon. Unable to even open his eyes, the child tilted his head and copied his words.

‘Ju Bo Man?

Although it was but a chimera,

And the chimera was long dead,

The child, who was to him, none other than Jung Taebaek,

Wrote BMs name, saying that it was his fathers name.

Though the child was dead, themoments of the child thinking about him remained here as evidence. Thats why BM couldnt discard these things.

If he were to meet the real Taebaek in the future, he had to get rid of these things for sure and yet the fact that he couldnt do it, suggested that the left-behind objects were the proof of the lingering feelings hiding deep inside his heart.

Suddenly, the wooden block that the child used to cuddle in his sleep, was caught in his sight.
