Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

The clear timbre of Vintage Clock he was hearing for the first time failed to ring his heart.

“Who asked such a thing?”

Becoming happy meant nothing.

Did that mean he could let everything go and become happy? Probably not because there was no fixed shape of happiness. One still had to move desperately and finally grasp it towards the end of the journey and that was why the revelation that he would be happy was meaningless. At least that was what he thought.

He wasnt curious about his future. He simply wanted to be guided to the top floor with the door opened before him.

“Or do you not have ears to listen to what Im telling you to do? Do I just have to listen to you ramble on and on?”

Affection isnt something given or received.

It appeared by itself and deepened by itself.

It was the same with love. He had never wished for this pointless emotion but woefully by the time he realised it, it had appeared out of nowhere and had deepened by itself.

He had to go back.

“If you truly think and wish for me for even the size of a flea then stop blabbering nonsense and take me to the top floor. Now!”

His affection for Bom was like lighting up the most dangerous fuse and their relationship would definitely deepen the more attention and love he gave. If he could go through the atrocities he had committed and remove his romantic feelings for Bom, that should at least let him avoid the worst case scenario.

Vintage Clock however completely countered the Regressors thoughts head-on.

His eyes turned into circles enough for his eyeballs to pop out.

“You are expelling me? You? Expelling me?”

Before long, an intense and irresistible wave of power flooded his body and pushed it back.

“Why.”

The force pushing him back intensified. Yu Jitae clenched his teeth and stood his ground as veins shot out of his skin from chin all the way up to his cheeks. He could not leave just like this.

“Are you trying to stop me from misfortune now that Ive laid hands on daily life?”

The force was pushing not his physical body but his soul itself. However, it was physically revealed in this conceptual world as a storm of wind and pushed him back while the world dissipated into a fog.

“Do you wish for me to escape my hideous past? Bury that and become happy? Is that truly what you wish for?”

It was the same process as the end of iterations; where the world would crumble and leave him behind. Yu Jitae stood firm. Grasping at the darkness of the dissipating workshop, he stabilised his body.

“What kind of hypocrisy is that, huh?”

Despite his words, Vintage Clock appeared resolute.

From afar, the large pair of scissors – [Connection-severing blades] overwhelmed Yu Jitae with its sheer force. A tempest of pressure struck his body like the pellets of a shotgun bullet and pushed his body back.

The concept became blades that ripped his clothes apart and carved several wounds on his body.

With chattering teeth, he screamed.

“How can you do this to me. Whos the one that drove me into the gutters. You—”

His feelings for Bom –

It made him feel the guilt he had been denying, forced him to hide the past he had no plans of avoiding, uneasily shook the upcoming future,

And made him hate once again,

The Vintage Clock whom he thought forgiveness and hatred no longer mattered, and even his own destiny.

The white bird disappeared into the distance.

“How can you dare do this to me—!!”

Yu Jitae screamed and shouted.
