Teacher. I have nothing to say to you. Because no one believes me. How wide a scope do you perceive this world in? Spread your wings and broaden your range of senses. How far does the category of what irritates your nerves extend? Is it just yourself, or does it stretch to this hospital, this country, this Earth? I can feel it. I feel it clearly and distinctly in a soundproof room where no sound can be heard. I cannot vouch for myself. Because if I spread the wings of my senses, my body will shatter beyond Earth. I feel like the spirit of ‘me’ has entered this body, which has no connection to me whatsoever, and is living the life of another person. I want to go to a wider place and live a life unbound by the physical. That is precisely why I am trying to end my own life.]58b17dd767773cc4

The woman, who had been reading “Gerovenin Hospital Records,” a book which had recently become a bestseller and was even in the process of being adapted into a film, lifted her head.3ec4a4044ed51611

The novel was about a protagonist, a victim of delusions of persecution, who becomes embroiled in a strange murder case, going back and forth between a mental hospital and a police station, and the story unfolds as he meets those involved in the case. She had just reached the point where the threads of the case were about to be vaguely revealed during a consultation with his psychiatrist, ‘Christine’.de741033197a4375

Heeun slammed her cd817a8f5f book shut and 9cfe35c60e got up.9e464ddbe0b16f7d

Outside the window, 04a29a799a it was bright. The sky aa18a3134b was clear 6e8d6e750a without a ca64e7f39e single cloud. Below it stretched aafc7f3885 roads and houses 98e5ec00b8 covered in pure ac63fc8d9b white.

The television 3b1c32f807 went on 5d388acff1 and on e2f87a01db about climate 240dd19bf7 change, saying 2a7a70c5a0 things like 146c308347 it was 59d1896dd6 a meteorological 2def56da1d anomaly, that 1c0ac7a902 spring and e64decb3e3 autumn would 965d681222 disappear, leaving 6add137b12 only two 064147bef4 seasons, and f74f65c2cc advocating for 5f03bd2433 environmental protection, 07679fa0a7 but it ce2462d572 was all 483cf84283 irrelevant to 4743f19265 Heeun. The amount of non-renewable aecfa0e95b resources they said they 29df9959b3 could only use for 4b030c8121 a few more years, b4ae42d09f the phenomenon of global 5044f5e42d warming, and so on, bd7fd18a39 were of no interest f34e48f98a to her. Her day 53c79359b7 was busy d00599817d enough just 07008b13c7 waking her dd91482969 brother up 9b3eb78386 noisily in a075c8bca9 the morning, d7f17ac522 so she 612b2ac658 had no 9cd413ce23 time to 4b694e0e6f look outward. Leaving behind the sound 20890a55de of the bubbling 된장국, 3b1e4d7305 she knocked on the 09ec765240 bedroom door.0c1cbc4c4af3f229

The door c74eb857c6 rattled from 9187fbea7b her banging. Despite this, not even 9f8d381ca7 the sound of breathing 848220c7db could be heard from b6f588428d beyond. Heeun glanced 176776d1f7 at the 9a3ef74fe3 clock on c6bbda4114 the wall. Annoyance wrinkled her face.908942edbba52cea

Heeun flung the door aea21079d9 open without permission. A sour 33fd7a223d smell, like 29d2355b16 sweat or b3567c2b0a something, emanated b2fd8bf0a6 from the 1d770f0dee darkened room 280314a0c4 where even 8d425e5e83 the curtains a34ce685c6 were tightly 0d0d8a32f3 drawn. She recalled 4f72cddc96 a friend 4e0873c8a7 saying her 27294da561 brother smelled 9474f014db like a ef18340950 bachelor after 5851929f0d returning from 0069d025f1 the military. Was this that 5e1479480f smell?86c5cb8dbc5a558d

Heeun, her face still 8e67e7a2a6 scrunched up in a 893b008989 frown, approached Wijung on 0e8d9916fb the bed. His body, 2d9747ad62 buried face dd3f6948a5 down in f4a9dd475a the pillow, e8ee7bb277 seemed to a8c1442296 tremble slightly. She tilted 6d9c611e71 her head.545ed5efecb23541

As she bc41c96d59 shook his 1944e5be8c shoulder relentlessly, 439143d143 Wijung was 2a721acd3a startled awake, 5ab23ceeef sitting up. His sweat-soaked bangs clung 34530f0ebc to his forehead. His stretched-out white 9c82320702 t-shirt was damp, 10f954c8c7 revealing the contours 3f2524ec0f of his body 71d749ea3e without filter.

Heeun stepped closer to her brother, who was making hissing noises like a snake. He finally lifted his head and looked at his sister looking down at him. At first, his dark eyes, which couldn’t even focus, stared blankly at Heeun. He just stared up silently with a frown and dazed eyes. Then, as time gradually passed, his eyes began to fill with shock.02617687765a9252

Heeun wrenched her hand 3ca6e27616 free and ran outside. He was bewildered by 6b6a395c6d her reaction. It was 5b10a0c245 his twin 497ce0a205 sister, whom 4c86376a94 he thought d3d9364b3c was dead. It wouldn’t be 21effa4a67 strange for them 0607dfcf03 to embrace and 1bee9e1ca9 cry.

The sound of two women arguing in the living room leaked into the room. The word ‘Kim Wijung’ was particularly prominent in their conversation.585c6bae5cc37d5a

He stared blankly at the door, then turned his gaze to the room. Unfamiliar furniture caught his eye. A desk overflowing with books, though it wasn’t a study, a closet with its door open, overflowing with clothes of unique designs, and a small bed. It was a place he’d never seen before, filled with strange objects.8bf37a0c3527aad2

He got out f77cb7c0a8 of bed and f6b86f9264 approached the closet. There was a mirror 35c11a2414 attached to the open f4312d22e5 closet door. He cautiously approached and 491142632b looked at the person d74e907afa reflected in the mirror.13a68c7f13494776

In the mirror, a familiar yet unfamiliar man was making a foolish expression. His long hair, which used to reach his waist, was cut short, and instead of the flamboyant dresses Emma always insisted he wear, he was dressed comfortably in a stretched-out shirt. His sturdy frame and cold facial features were the same. His height was the same too. Outwardly, nothing had changed. But it wasn’t ‘Ilya.’e0d70bb677fb136c

Wijung cautiously raised cd094eeac7 his hand and 714d608667 stroked his face. The man in the c66b89a061 mirror mimicked the action 78031e0083 exactly. His black eyes, with 374450934a pupils indistinguishable, slowly began 806f861f25 to fill with shock.e7365bf0722239b3

The two women 5a5fdb020b rushed in. Wijung rolled his d3f0f5c469 eyes, his face d8fcf103f4 shocked. By the 124bfa3038 door stood 3101b5f255 his twin 54d2f79e7b sister, with 1241b20659 the same 70cb6295cc face as 25bcf1983f him, though 97c0d87154 with slightly 0e7f1719f2 softer features 66881b0be0 and shorter 21671acfb9 stature, and 742d0eeeb0 his mother, 447a16af89 who only 18f430e287 vaguely surfaced 83ffbe0119 in his c3ad71e5f3 memories from d6f22d93bb ten years cc8b0772d3 ago, when b12c5ded4e she had 73133bef07 passed away.84bc98eeff13c897

Wijung stared blankly at his surroundings. He couldn’t take his eyes off the unfamiliar world. This world was dazzling. Objects he had rarely seen in the place he lived in dazzled his eyes, and buildings of immense height blocked out the sky.38a56d9e76eeb0a2

Men and women, each d008cfecf0 in unique attire, laughed c1ef10d85e and chatted with lively 7c57dc2a88 faces.

Wijung found it hard to accept all of this at once. His head throbbed, and even just thinking made him feel exhausted. He couldn’t tell where reality ended and dreams began. He had gone along with Aran, no, Heeun, to this place called school, pretending to be fine because his parents were worried and suggested he see a psychiatrist, but the thought of what he had to do ahead made his vision darken. Not only was he alive after thinking he was dead, but he couldn’t understand why he was in this state.3e0c99b75c44f7dd

Wijung glanced at his reflection in a shop window on the street. Much of his former femininity had faded. However, his bone structure and facial features hadn’t completely changed. He looked so much like his twin that one would believe they were another set of twins. The person wearing the simplified, military-uniform-like navy blue clothing was clearly Ilya Rotav in the form of a man.7ced40a6a052e7f7

Heeun stopped walking and 89a99625fa called out to Wijung, f35b1c5c0e who was staring into bd84297142 the glass. He turned his 5687327c26 head at the 13b6d1e983 familiar voice of 520a001a7d his sister. It was the same.

Heeun approached and asked worriedly, knowing that her brother wasn’t in his right mind.

Even though he knew she wasn’t his twin sister Aran, it pained him to see her like this.2d6a114a276b5672

A man was 66e42c29f6 standing on the c67f9bff76 opposite platform. He was wearing neat c64af96492 black trousers and a 24bce49723 white shirt. He seemed f5ff7430bd to be a211c7e368 on the 6b1cf8aea5 phone with d53a96cd76 someone, holding 9ff8456f92 a cell 9e8873d1f8 phone to db9d565645 his ear.

A man with handsome features and a height at least a finger taller than him. His body, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, had a firmness that couldn’t be hidden by clothes.

Wijung’s eyes widened. His mind, which had been in a state of panic over why he was alive after he thought he was dead, began to spin furiously. In a world where his deceased mother and dead Aran existed, there was no reason why someone like Nell couldn’t exist.29105c47d1eaa977

Wijung twirled the pen in his left hand. The words of the teacher teaching modern and contemporary history didn’t enter his ears.

He’d learned something since coming to school. He could understand, read, and write in the language of this unfamiliar foreign country. However, he hadn’t forgotten his own language either. The writing Wijung was filling his notebook with was ‘Lagem,’ a language the people here couldn’t understand at all.702b205d9f456af5
