The librarian's twitching was becoming less and less prominent. At the same time, the pressure on the monstrosity was getting lighter and lighter. However, that was far from being a good thing for it.

Its hunger was slowly dissipating and its madness subsiding.

Multiple tongues flickered, unable to perceive any lingering taste.

It watched the archivist and Kim Soleum talk but all heard was incomprehensible mumbling until there were none.

Then, the world transitioned to black, enveloping it with the void.

Pitch darkness. No sensations left and incapable of leaving it physically nor mentally.

The abyss hath come.

The cold embrace of the abyss wrapped around Baek Saheon, unable to resist its blessing of peace.

No.

No…

Baek Saheon fell to the group with a loud thud, along with the sloppy mess of amalgamated flesh attached to him.

The archivist blankly stared at his unconscious other self as Kim Soleum watched stupefied at the sight in front of him.

[...Good grief. Finally done.]
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
The librarian’s body, which had stopped its tremblings for a minute now, fell to the ground with a horrifying plop. Then…

“...Huh?!”

It creaked as it raised itself up, a bizarre scene akin to a mannequin assembling itself back to normal like it was from a horror movie.
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
This made Kim Soleum kick the ground as he tried to pull away from the librarian, whilst the archivist carefully stood up and casually dusted off his clothes before approaching his coworker.

“Wait, don't just…!”
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
The librarian’s body had just barely managed to stamp up straight when the archivist grabbed his cheeks with one hand.

“...Huh?” Kim Soleum was reasonably confused.

[Earth to Baksu?]

[.....]

“.....”

[Well?]

[...My neck feels sore.]

Kim Soleum's eyes widened.
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
No way, he's alive?! The crazier thing was, these two strangers had been acting normal, like this was a natural outcome!

But before he could even say anything further, his words tangled in his throat once the two turned to his direction.
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
[Sorry about that, uhm, Kim Soleum-ssi! I'm sure that probably startled you, hahaha… I really appreciate the assistance earlier, thanks~!]

The archivist hummed. [This settles our business here. We'll be bringing Baek Saheon with us for now.]
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
As if he had not just come back from the dead, the librarian energetically strutted towards the unconscious Baek Saheon and picked him up with the loose tissues still attached to him.

“...?”

Eh?

“What…? Why…?”
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
[.....] The archivist sighed. [His current condition, as you may already expect, is not something that can be completely treated here.]

“.....”
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
It made sense. He had been setting it aside in his mind for now, but he did have an inkling that this was something bigger than he thought.

That these strangers are…

“....”

Don’t think about it.
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
Maybe it's better off not knowing anything more.

Maybe…

The archivist’s light pat on his arm snapped him out of his thoughts.

“...Yes?”

A mischievous smile was etched on the archivist’s face. [We'll return your beloved Baek Saheon soon enough.]

Huh? ‘Beloved’?
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
“What are you–”

[Okay, bye.]

“Wait…!”

And yet, the two didn't look back even once and wordlessly headed back into the building.
@naneun_bsh
Heretic of the Name@naneun_bsh
To the elevator, to their ride back home.

Back to the library.

[ EPILOGUE ]

Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
The ceiling is white. That's the first thing Kim Soleum notices, blearily rubbing his eyes. His brain is as foggy as his vision. There's a warm, fluffy blanket against him. He sits up, blinking, and yawns. And then everything sharpens with hot clarity.
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
He notices the following things:
1. Someone gave him a change of clothes.
2. He doesn't know where he is.
3. Actually, scratch number two. He's in some kind of waiting room. A waiting room at a police station.
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
For some reason, he first notices the blue water dispenser before the policemen outside. It seems like he's been left alone in this little lounge.
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
For a moment, he thinks--𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦? But when he tries to summon the memory, his skull feels too heavy for anything in particular to come to mind, like a waterlogged cloth being wrung.
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
He tries to get up, swaying side to side. He checks his pockets. Phone, wallet, keys, all present. It doesn't seem like the policemen outside are bothered when he gets up.

So: what happened?
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
He grabs his phone, because it feels like he should. There's a yellow sticky note.

A crime scene?

Before he has any time to ruminate on that, there's a notification from an unknown number.
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
> Hallo
> Sorry I saw u woke up and I got excited lol

Soleum texts back faster than he ever has.
> who is this?

> Guy who brought u there

> what? what happened

> I'll tell u if you pay me

This guy--!
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
> No just kidding ^^;;
> Trying to lighten the mood
> Hey
> If you had a choice between forgetting something difficult, and having it not affect your life anymore (or at least, no more than the average person, I guarantee this)
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
> What would you do?

...What kind of ominous question is that? Kim Soleum's heart drops down to his chest. This is so suspicious. Normally, it would take a while for him to answer a question like that, or he wouldn't respond at all considering the circumstances.
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
But what is most unsettling is that his answer immediately comes to mind, and he sends it before he's even conscious of what he's doing.

> id choose to remember it

It takes longer for the unknown texter to respond.
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
> Yea thats about what I expected lol
> Ill talk to you again
> U should leave the station
> And get back to work in 3 days
> Thats the amount of time I was able to wring out of them lol
@sdma_choi
Agent Choi | Dark Exploration Records@sdma_choi
...No, how was that even possible, for his company that demanded 15 hours a day of work...

> who are you

> Youll find out!

...?

> After all
> Im gonna be on your team lololol
> Nice to meet you, sunbaenim ^^
> Pls take care of me, I'm new to the marketing industry
