I am not a returner Episode 439
Lie (12)
A month has passed since Ojin returned from the rift.
The news that a hero of humanity thought to be dead had returned alive was enough to turn the entire world upside down.
Because Oh Jin’s lovers, including Ha-eun, hid the fact that Oh Jin was alive, the world did not turn upside down.
The only people who heard the news of Ojin’s return were a few constellations with whom he was acquainted and a few awakened people, such as Baekmugang Sakaki Ryo Han Jun-man.
When they heard that Ojin had lost all his memories, they tried many ways to revive his memories.
They couldn’t accomplish the things that even those who were in a romantic relationship with Oh Jin, like Ha-eun and Isabella Vega, couldn’t succeed.
It was an ordinary morning when all desperate efforts to revive Ojin’s memories were in vain.
“Voila! “This morning, it’s white rice, Spam, a fried egg, and seaweed!”
Delicious food prepared on the table.
The ultimate combination, which every Korean would know, was presented in a pretty bowl and was stimulating the appetite.
“Ah… yes. Thank you every day, Isabella.”
However, despite the ultimate combination, Ojin did not show any reaction and sat at the table with an awkward smile.
For a moment, Isabella’s eyes wavered.
She shook her head and tried to smile brightly.
“Hey, I told you before that you should feel free to call me ‘Isabella’ instead of ‘Mr. Isabella,’ right?”
“Ah… that’s right.”
“You don’t even need to be polite.”
“Yes. Okay… no, I understand.”
Ojin nodded with a stiff posture, like a wooden doll moving.
Isabella continued speaking while gently stroking Ojin’s stiff back.
“There is no need to be so stiff in front of me. “Did I tell you before that Oh Jin and I were lovers… no, we were lovers who were infinitely closer to a ‘couple’?”
“Yes. It did.”
“So please treat me a little more comfortably! That way, Oh Jin’s memories will come back quickly.”
“…okay.”
At the word ‘memory’, Oh Jin’s mouth stiffened for a moment.
But even for a moment.
He smiled awkwardly and moved the spoon to the carefully prepared table.
Munching.
Oh Jin eats his food in a hurry, as if he is starving.
[Eat slowly. Isn’t it like someone is chasing you?]
Vega flew towards Ojin.
After the two Black Heavens clashed.
As the restrictions of the law were weakened further, she was now able to remain in her original state on Earth, but now she was deliberately changing her appearance to the state of a prosthetic body.
This is probably the one that Oh Jin is more familiar with.
Now his lovers were doing their best to create an environment as familiar to Ojin as possible so that his memories could return.
That’s why I returned from the temple of Vega to the apartment located in Hapjeong.
Everything from furniture arrangement to sleeping clothes and meals were prepared based on what Ohjin usually wore and ate.
In addition, he also wandered around looking for places that would remain strongly in his memories of the past.
For example, the orphanage where he stayed until he became an adult.
Like the mold-filled studio apartment I lived in with Ha-eun.
[Did you say you were going to the beach you went to before this time?]
“Yes. I’m planning to go to San Frutuoso. A lot of things happened there too.”
The memory of going to a famous resort in Italy with Ohjin was quite a powerful experience among the countless memories I had with him.
[But… wasn’t it ruined by the demonic beasts’ attack at that time?]
“We restored it to an environment as similar to before as possible.”
Although a huge budget was spent to restore the resort.
Italy, which was the starting point of the Second Star War, was able to quickly restore it to its original state because relief funds and manpower had arrived from all over the world.
[Hoo. Then I guess I’ll have to invite Riak too this time.]
“If it’s San Frutuoso… I guess I’ll have to leave.”
Cassia let out a deep sigh and lowered her head.
In order to recreate as closely as possible what Ojin experienced in the past, Cassia had to be left out.
Because she had never gone on vacation with Ojin at that time.
“I… I’m sorry, sister.”
“joy. Okay, it was my mistake to meet Ojin late.”
Cassia pursed her lips as if she couldn’t bear it and muttered in a low voice.
“I wanted to show Ojin in my swimsuit…”
“Hehe.”
“…What is that laugh?”
“No~ I was wondering if seeing a washboard like that would irritate Mr. Ohjin.”
“You!”
Two sisters bickering as usual.
Looking at the familiar scene that has been repeated over the past month.
“…I want to stop now.”
Ohjin, who was eating hastily, opened his mouth with difficulty.
“yes? “You don’t want to go?”
“I don’t want to go around trying to refresh my memory anymore.”

[What does that mean?]
“….”
Oh Jin bit his lip as he looked at the embarrassed women.
Kuuk.
He clenched his fists and opened his mouth as if squeezing.
“Even if I’m going there anyway!”
thud!
He hit the table roughly and cried out.
“You won’t be able to think of anything again!”
Even when I went to the daycare center.
Even when I visited the studio I used to live in.
He couldn’t recall any memories.
“Oh Jin….”
“I also want to remember what I call my memories! Things that happened with you! Memories! Memories! “I want to remember everything!”
but.
“I don’t know anything. “No matter how much I rack my brain, I can’t remember anything.”
Oh Jin shakes his shoulders and sobs.
“I don’t want to disappoint you anymore.”
The sad look in their eyes whenever they can’t recall their memories.
I couldn’t bear it anymore.
“I… do you know how I feel?”
As soon as you open your eyes, what you see is a world where everything is unfamiliar.
Unfamiliar eyes.
Voices you’ve never heard.
People you see for the first time.
and.
A stranger to myself.
“You were in a relationship with me? You want me to be easy on you? Do you think I can treat you comfortably?”
Ojin glared at Isabella and shouted fiercely.
“I don’t know anything about you! How can I be comfortable with you?”
“…Mr. Ohjin.”
“I…”
Clink.
The spoon I was holding in my hand tumbled to the floor.
Ohjin covered his face with both hands and lowered his head.
“Nothing… I don’t remember anything.”
“….”
[….]
A heavy silence fell.
The women could not say anything as they looked at Ojin sobbing.
I knew it.
At least it’s cruel to force ‘familiarity’ on Oh Jin, who has lost her memory.
But still I couldn’t stop.
Because I wanted to hold on to the last straw, even if it was just a rotten rope.
Him.
Because I didn’t want to lose it like this.
“I’m sorry Ozina.”
Ha-eun, who had been quietly looking at him, stood up and approached Oh-jin.
She gently hugged Ojin and smiled slightly.
“It’s okay to stop.”
“…yes?”
“Regaining memories. “It’s okay to stop now.”
“…”
Before heading to the runaway Black River.
I remembered the words Oh Jin left behind.
“Even if you forget… I remember.”
Memories so far.
Memories we made together.
Everything.
Because I keep it.
“So… it’s okay. Even if you don’t remember.”
“….”
Ojin’s eyes trembled.
He looked around at the four women gathered at the table one by one and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“…no. “I’ll try a little more.”
Had my thoughts changed?
Oh Jin continued speaking, clenching his fists tightly.
“I also want to bring back the memories I had with you.”
“But just now…”
“I know it’s hard. “It actually suffered a lot.”
He continued speaking with a bitter smile.
“But still… didn’t you treat me so preciously even though I couldn’t remember anything?”
In a world as white as drawing paper.
Only they became the paint and brightened the world.
“I want to remember you too.”
“Ojina….”
The four women approached Ohjin with bright eyes.
When we hugged each other and tried to strengthen our resolve.
-Ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
“Who is it?”
“Did you order a delivery?”
“No, I didn’t order it.”
As I tilted my head and approached the intercom, I saw Manager Junman Han standing there with an awkward expression.
Ha-eun tilted her head and opened the front door.
“What’s going on this morning?”
“Ah… that’s it.”
Manager Han smiled awkwardly and held out a square box.
“I came here because I have something to tell you.”
“Are you going to tell me? “Who sent it?”
“Uh…”
A manager who was watching opened his mouth quietly.
“It was sent by Oh Jin. No, more accurately, it was left to me. “2 years ago.”
“…what?”
Craddangtang!
The chair rolled around on the floor, and Isabella and Cassia came running crying.
“What did you say just now?”
“If it were two years ago…!”
“Calm down!”
Manager Han closed his eyes tightly, as if he knew this would happen.
Ha-eun opened her mouth, glaring fiercely at Manager Han.
“Why are you giving me now what I gave you two years ago?”
“Well… Oh Jin asked for it. “I don’t know when, but when he wakes up, wait for about a month before handing me this.”
“What is this?”
Ha-eun opened the square box.
What was in it.
“Smartphone?”
It was the smartphone that Oh Jin used two years ago.
“Then I delivered it as promised, so I’ll go to work now!”
A manager turned and walked out as if running away.
“What the hell is this…”
When Ha-eun tried to turn on her smartphone, a screen appeared that required fingerprint recognition.
Ha-eun swallowed her voice and held out her smartphone to Oh-jin.
“You try turning it on.”
“Oh yes…”
Ohjin tilted his head and placed his thumb on the screen.
and.
-iced coffee. Can I do this like this?
A video that plays as soon as the screen is turned on.
Two years ago.
This was Ojin’s appearance before he went to fight the Heavenly Demon.
-Well… I don’t know how much time has passed now. If you’re watching this video, you’ve already woken up, right?
Oh Jin, who was on the smartphone, raised the corners of his mouth and continued speaking.
-All memories were swallowed up by the black sky and disappeared. Even if I ate a dish I liked, wore clothes I liked to wear, or walked around a place I was familiar with, I wouldn’t have remembered anything. yes?
In the video, he stared at Oh Jin beyond the screen as if he were right in front of him.
-Okay then, let’s get started.
I can’t believe I’m starting.
What on earth are you starting?
To Oh Jin, who looks at the screen with eyes full of doubt.
In the video, Oh Jin twisted the corner of his mouth.
-The last ‘lie’.
