Going back 15 years, a group of scientists from the European Space-Time Research Organization—or as they call it,

R.C.O.D.D. (Research Center Of Discovered Dimension)’ 

It has been discovered that our world has countless overlapping parallel dimensions. Each world has different cultures, environments, and even history. And they all wanted to find a way to contact or cross over to at least one of those dimensions.

That was the beginning of the research project 'Hyacinths (

H.Y.A.C.I.N.T.H.)’ 

The project has been ongoing for a long time. Huge amounts of funding from countries interested in research are being used to build large-scale particle accelerators. and shoots energy particles to circle around the machine according to the electricity supplied. The results are expected according to theory that at some point if the exact quantity of particles and frequency can be determined. A 'wormhole' shaped portal will open.

And will be able to travel to other dimensions through said wormhole.

But even though a long time has passed Such expectations have never come close to being fulfilled...

Many countries have abandoned budget support. The project was abandoned until only one researcher remained.

The budget is only limited. That person must therefore research. Calculate the most likely outcome. In order to use all of the funds and one last chance to open the portal,

And it was 5 years ago from the present. He succeeded!

Massive amounts of electricity were drawn from all over Europe to power the particle accelerator one last time. The dimensional door opened. Its appearance was as expected—black, like a hole in mid-air. Or a sphere that can be thought of as just a smooth, round shape.

That thing is beyond human understanding. He couldn't describe its shape in a few words.

Suddenly, a huge gravitational force appeared surrounding the area of ​​the wormhole. That man—that scientist was sucked into a wormhole by it.

All pictures are cut off. He didn't understand what was happening then.

The surrounding scenery should be a large hall and a department store-sized particle accelerator. It turned out to be just a wide green field with scattered houses of people.

young man looking up at the sky His jet-black eyes focused on the clouds that drifted past because of the wind. before narrowing his eyes tensely after pondering the matter.

It was now that he understood what had happened.

“You can cross over now... ” And it didn't take long. He realized that he could not go back.

2 years later

Friday morning at Rangsit University Faculty of Communication Arts building A tall, slender woman of Russian nationality stood distressed in front of the turquoise door. Her slender hand tightened on the cloth bag. Essena had lived with this kind of thing for a long time. She has magical powers that can open portals to empty extra dimensions.

However, she only came in when something was bothering her or she wanted to be alone...and today was no different.

Essena stood staring blankly at the door.

Even if it is just the door of an empty world But she didn't dare to open it.

A feeling of fear danced joyfully within her heart. No matter how hard you try to suppress that feeling Yet those things were as clear as mocking her attempts to suppress it.

“What are we doing here…”

Essena muttered with a wry smile. Before she opened the door and entered in silence. For just a fraction of a second, all eyes in the room were focused on the young woman until her body twitched.

At the same time, the voices of the people behind were louder than those in the room, even though there weren't any such people just now.

“Miss Essena, you are late.”

“I'm sorry.”

Essena answered the female teacher with brown bob hair. before quickly closing the door and quietly walking to his own seat.

The young teacher stared at Essena for a while. before returning to teaching Essena sat staring blankly ahead. Thinking about what to eat for lunch.

But why did this portal become a classroom?

Time passed by for 2 hours.

Because of confusion and doubt Essena decided to stand in front of the blue door again. This time, she sighed softly and decided to open it. And the first image she saw was a young man staring intently at her—standing in an atmosphere filled with modern technology. Also nearby was another man standing looking at her with a surprised expression.

“I'm sorry.” The first reaction I saw was shock. Essena hurriedly closed the door. Even though I still don't understand exactly what is going on right now. But she could deduce that her power might open a portal to a dimension that was not as empty as before.

But the moment the door was closed, Her hand was grabbed instead.

Bang!

Out of instinct, the female student immediately shook her hand away. But instead, he pulled out a young man with black hair and blue eyes and lay on top of him, falling to the ground together. which is different from the black-haired man Amber eyes followed and bent down to pick up the things scattered on the floor for the girl.

" thank you "

Essena was the first to break away and stand up. Then he took the bag from the gentle young man's hand.

“Wait.”

He called to hold her back. This made Essena stop and turn to look.

“She is a powerful person.”

the amber-eyed young man asked.

“ ...Can open doors to other dimensions, right? ”

“ ...I think it's something like that.” She felt rather strange, but answered because she didn't feel suspicious or think much of anything.

The young man opened his mouth slightly, as if surprised or stunned. Then he spoke.

"I'm Ilish and this is Tyro."

He introduced himself and extended his hand towards the blue-eyed young man.

“We are officials.”

Ah...do I have to introduce myself?

Thinking like that, Essena introduced herself. He looked at the two dressed in black suits. before noticing that Tyro was staring at her as if angry.

"I'm Essena. Nice to meet you."

“You must take us back to our world now,” said Cairo.

" yes…? Is it your world? I don't know yet. No...I'm not sure I can do it.”

Power that had always been used only for oneself through simple things like seclusion. Anything beyond that seems too difficult for her to grasp. And it was even harder when she couldn't even think back to why her powers had brought her to these two strange men.

She doesn't know anything at all.

“Whatever it is, you have to do it.”

The two stood staring at each other, one serious, the other showing an expression of uncertainty mixed with worry. Ilich saw this and smiled dryly at the rather oppressive atmosphere. They were completely unaware that there was someone behind the wall watching the situation.

A voice muttered softly.

“...Is that Ilish?”

That voice was fragile, like he couldn't believe his own eyes.

Peep! Peep!

Because of the loud signal from the energy detector on the wrist. This caused him to temporarily stop speaking and press the button to turn on the holographic projection. It appears as a map with blinking red circles on it.

“There are our people here.” Tyro closed his eyes and turned to Ilish. His voice sounded serious and cold, similar to surprise if not shock. His partner nodded as he walked towards the location together.

“Wait a minute.”

Essena hurriedly grabbed the black-haired young man's hand. The two of them automatically stopped walking. A slightly annoyed Tyro turned to look at her, his expression still clearly showing this emotion.

That expression was terrifying. Makes you feel like you want to escape.

nonetheless

“Should I go in and change clothes first? Your outfits are too eye-catching that people at the university will be suspicious... ”

Essena still tried to negotiate with them. Although he couldn't help but worry about Tyro's expression.

Tyrone went still, but Ilish grabbed his shoulder and nodded at her. So he couldn't avoid agreeing. The three of them then entered the dimensional room they had come from without forgetting to close the door tightly.

About 5 minutes had passed.

After Essena told the pair to wait in the room and then she would borrow some clothes from her male friend. She quickly walked back to the original room with two student uniforms in hand. before opening the door and speaking, even though he hadn't seen the two men's faces because he knew they were there.

“Here, the outfit. I'll go stand watch outside for you.”

She handed him the shirt and then looked inside the room.

and the first picture she saw That is, Tyro and Ilish have already taken off their clothes and gone topless.

“ “Ah!- ”” The two of them softly exclaimed after realizing that they had made a mistake because the other person would definitely scream.

But Essena had a calm expression on her face, clearly not embarrassed, and even smiled dryly at the two of them.

“Uh...did I embarrass you?” Ilich smiled sweetly. Although he appears to be a gentle man on the outside, But the muscles on his body clearly indicated that if he had to fight anyone, it would probably end with just one punch—definitely referring to the enemy.

This was different from Tyro, who, despite being equally muscular, stared at the woman intently as if she was disrespectful and sexually harassing him.

“...Send the shirt and hurry up.”

Tyro said in a hurry before walking over to pick up the shirt from the girl. Essena handed it to him. before turning around and pretending to leave the room

“Uh...that is.” The young man narrowed his eyes. His voice trembled slightly, “I'm sorry I said something bad back then.”

" yes? ”

Young woman tilts her head Think back to a time when the other person probably said something bad to you. But it seems like there are too many stages.

“Never mind, I don't care.”

Tyro pursed his lips, sighed once, then said, "So..." before turning around and getting ready to put on his shirt.

Essena suddenly thought of something, “You're not good at talking to other people... ”

Her clear voice seemed to penetrate deep into the young man's heart. In fact, Tyro is a person who is good at keeping his feelings at bay. And what's even worse is when you want to express it. He never once did a good job. Makes you feel uncomfortable often

“...Oh.” Tyro narrowed his eyes. Those blue eyes were tinged with gloom. “How do you know?”

“Just a guess.” Her hand turned the doorknob. At the same time, he slowly walked away. “Just think about it from your perspective.”

If your words are curt and seem indifferent to your feelings, it is a result of not being good at interaction. If that calm expression wasn't fake, it was just a face that wasn't used to the wrinkles of various emotions.

If that's the case

If that's the case

You can understand.

"Oh..." Tyro answered while putting on his shirt. His eyes widened after he realized that his partner was probably still dressed next to him.

“Oh!” Illich's smiling face was the first thing Tyro saw. “This is it, teenagers.”

“..." The corners of Tyro's mouth furrowed for a moment. As for his eyes, he stared intently at his partner, as if when he finished changing his shirt he would slap him in the face or something like that.

Afterwards, the three of them sat and talked on a bench in front of the first building of the university. Tyro and Ilish sit together. As for Essena, she chose to sit across from the two of them. The conversation revealed details about the work the two young men had to do on this side of the world. After being able to detect signals of people on the same side of the world

“Recapture the people?” Essena looked suspicious. In my head there are only question marks and the word why.

“Yes, but it's not like I'll catch you. According to the steps, we must negotiate first. I hope it ends like that,” Illich replied.

“What if he refuses to return? ” The girl asked because she wanted to know.

“If we don't return, it might cause chaos in the world,” Tyro said in a sharp voice. Essena could understand.

“We, like you, have magical powers. But it's not exactly the same. For example, I can see the future and travel to other worlds.” The amber-eyed young man smiled wryly.

“Eh...that means you can return to your old world, right?”

Then why did Tyro expect her to take them back then?

“Yes, but only one person can return.” Amber eyes narrowed. The orange halo like the moon that had gently flickered there was faintly glowing, as if he felt pain every time he thought of the limitations of his power. At the same time, cracks are plastered to show the image of the heart that is hidden deep inside.

I really know why it is like that. That expression of unimaginable pain was beyond Essena's comprehension.

" ...yes "

The young woman nodded in response. before turning to look at Tyro

“Ah, and he's here—on campus, right?”

“Oh,” Tairow said shortly.

“Then I will help you find him.”

“Oh.” Blue eyes glanced at the girl.

Tyro answered easily. Essena smiled at him. Immediately, Ilish stood up, causing both of them to look at him at the same time.

“I'll be waiting first.”

Illich said in a voice as soft as a feather without turning his head to look at the two of them. Tyro saw that and could understand that the other party didn't want to see his current expression. Therefore, he did not ask for any reason to hold back his friend. As for Essena—I understand as well. But I don't know the depth of that sadness.

In the midst of the pale sunlight that splashes on the floor through the rectangular gaps of the pillars supporting the faculty building.

Ilish walked down the hallway of the edge of the building. As he looked blankly at the scenery outside. Look at the gray straight lines of the concrete road that runs neatly on campus. Looking at the dull blue sky, it seemed to remind him of his sadness. Both feet stopped after seeing a man standing still under the shade of a tree.

The man had black hair that was neatly combed. Eyes as dark green as emeralds, without a hint of sparkle. As for his eyes... they were as sharp as a hawk's, intent on capturing the enemy with its claws. And he was dressed so modestly that from looking at it one could tell that he was probably a university employee or a professor at some faculty.

The man stood motionless. Looking at the same dull blue sky that Ilich had just looked at just now.

Ilych knew the man well.

"Long time no see, Sebastian."

The familiar sound of calls coming from behind him snapped him out of his trance. Before turning around, he looked towards the source of the sound and saw Ilich standing there smiling gently at him.

Those emerald eyes widened in shock.

“Ilich...” It was like he couldn't believe what he saw. Sebastian was stunned until he stood still and said, “Illish, you came to see me.”

“We came to pick you up to take you back to live with us-”

Illich answered briefly, but while he hadn't finished speaking yet. He was grabbed by Sebastian's face and pressed his lips to block out those words. The amber-eyed young man was slightly stunned. But he closed his eyes and kissed back without disgust.

“Do you know that I miss you so much? But I don't have enough strength to return to you.”

“I understand, Sebastian, but I have news I must tell you.” Illich trailed off. Sebastian let go of his hand. The official then calmed down for a while. before deciding to speak as if he wasn't feeling well

“I stopped being a scientist.”

“What?” Sebastian frowned.

“I quit being a scientist, Sebastian. Our work is too risky. Let's go back to our world together.”

“The world?”

" yes "

Ilish held both of her husband's arms.

“I have worked as an officer to find you all my life. So please abandon this research, I beg you.”

Ended the words of the young man with amber eyes. They all fell into a trance. The atmosphere immediately calmed down. Only the wind and the leaves rustled past them. Sebastian then narrowed his eyes and sighed softly.

“Actually, I also want to go back to you. Because I don't have enough strength to return to the original world.” Sebastian decided to confess. Ilish listened to this. His eyes and smile relaxed.

“But I can't, Illic.” He shook off Illic's arm. His eyes and voice returned to their usual firmness: “Remember the research we did together? Someone must sacrifice to be the gateway to return.”

“But if you do it. You will become a murderer.”

" shut your mouth ! "

Sebastian snapped back angrily. He slammed his tall, slender figure into a tree. Repeatedly standing astride and not letting him go anywhere. His right hand snatched the collar of another man's shirt. Ilish then opened his eyes slightly wide as if he was so shocked that he forgot that his boyfriend was scary when he suppressed him.

“Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment? I'm waiting to go back and live with you. I miss you, Ilysh. I love you!" He said through tears and pain, as if angry but also in love. "People are selfish. So why can't we kill some of them?!”

“But you shouldn't be taken for granted!—Then you come stay with me!!!” Sebastian's yelling sound was louder than before, causing the people around the university to cover their chests and cover their mouths. But neither he nor Ilish were interested.

“Can you do it? No, you are just as selfish as humans.” This time he spoke in a normal tone. Another thing is to let the collar down and stop standing over it. But changed to stand with his back to Ilish instead.

“Besides, you have the power to disappear into another world alone,” Sebastian said, clenching his fist. If his girlfriend saw the front of his body right now You could see him trying to hold back his sobs.

Ilych couldn't say anything. His face became sadder than before as he listened to his husband vent his feelings that he had been repressing for a long time. So he slowly walked to stand near Sebastian and gently held his shoulder.

“I will do it, Illich. I definitely can.”

“Zebbie”

“Please go tell them.” Sebastian glanced at him and walked away. Leaving Illich standing like that. The young officer sank to his knees and slowly sighed, his eyes rolling back and forth as if he were helpless. Tears were coming closer and closer.

“Ha...damn it.”

The next morning, Tyro, in his student uniform, walked up to Essena who was waiting in front of the Faculty of Communication Arts building to go to class together.

“Isn't Ilish coming today?”

“He wants to be alone. So I left it for now.”

Tyro responded in an empathetic manner. Knowing why, Essena nodded and smiled. And then the two of them walked in and rode the elevator together.

“So what are we going to study here?”

" subject

RSU182

Yes,” she answered, pressing the elevator up to the 5th floor.

“ RSU182 ? ”

Tyro turned around and frowned.

“It is a subject that involves developing special abilities. Yesterday, Master came and offered to be my advisor.” She looked at him back and smiled.

Even though Tyro didn't really understand what she was saying, he made an expression of agreement. It wasn't until they reached the 5th floor that the pair walked out and quickly headed towards the classroom. which when entering What you saw was students all sitting on high chairs. Meanwhile, the teacher, Sebastian, sat in front of the projector.

Tyro could only look at him blankly. In my heart I felt that there was something strange about this teacher. Essena took Tyro's arm and sat on the two vacant front nine seats. While teachers like Sebastian were teaching Tyro just stared at him, causing Essena to regain her composure.

“I saw you looking at him for a long time. Do you know him?” Esse put down the pen and asked Tyro with a questioning expression.

“There's something suspicious about him,” Tyro said, staring at Sebastian without blinking. Until Essena had to grab his face and turn him around to face her, giving him no time to prepare.

“He doesn't like people looking at him for a long time. He can get upset with you.” Tyro didn't listen to Essena's words at all. Sharp eyes and an eloquent face that was starting to heat up because of the short man's unintentional actions made him feel like he had never felt before.

“Are you...embarrassed of me?” Essena asked with a curious look in her eyes. before removing his hand from Tyro's face

“No.” Tyro cleared his throat and looked away from her, lowering his head and continuing.

“If you don't want me to look at that guy, then I…” Tyro didn't finish his sentence and Essena turned back to scribbling down what the teacher had taught her. Tyro could only smile slightly and turned his eyes away from Sebastian to look at Essena.

5 hours later

“Thank you for coming to my class, students,” Sebastian said and took off his glasses. Among the students who got up and walked out of the classroom, the air conditioned was cold. It was at the same moment that Tyro and Essena walked past.

“Essena,” Sebastian called out. The two then stopped and turned to look, "Are you free? Teacher, I have something to talk to you about."

“Free.” Esena nodded. Sebastian then looked at Tyro.

“Please go wait outside first.”

“Why?” asked Tyro.

“I have personal business to discuss with your friend.”

Of course, Tyro's expression didn't show much trust in the young man in front of him. But they made eye contact for a while. Finally, he walked out of the room for good. Leaving the two of them to talk alone.

About 10 minutes had passed.

While waiting, the two talked. Tyro kept walking around to relieve his boredom until he stopped in front of a white door. Looking at the picture, I knew that it was the office of the teacher who taught him and Essena. So try opening it to see. It appeared inside that it was full of scientific technological equipment that was unusually advanced and advanced beyond the human world.

It is clear that there are many portals that are being repaired!

“Shit…”

Hurry!

“What are you doing?” The moment the blue-eyed young man closed the door, he turned around. It was at the same moment that Ilish walked up and grabbed his shoulder.

“Essena is in danger.” He gave his male friend a vague answer.

“What?” Ilyss eyes widened.

“Sebastian is a person of our world.”

Finished speaking, Tyro quickly grabbed the other man's shoulder and ran over to help the girl. This made Ilish look at his back guiltily and join some others.

Peep! Peep!

The more we run together Red sounds and signals appeared more clearly. One person ran down and looked at the transmitter. The other person looked at the direction he was going.

“Where is that signal?” Cairo asked as he kept running forward.

“Next to room 502 is room 501.”

“Then it's not too far away.”

Bang!!!

When he reached his destination The two of them didn't hesitate, lifting each leg and jumping into the room together. The first thing that appeared was a picture of Sebastian preparing to power a ship to cross the portal. There is a female figure attached to a chain nearby that connects to power.

Essena looked at the two visitors as if they were not distressed. Her eyes were as steady and dull as a corpse's. Tyro saw this and the young woman hurriedly rushed in to find help.

In the blink of an eye, a mysterious green beam of light shot straight through and hit Tyro. And the source of the light was the hand of a young professor who had eyes the same color as the beam of light.

But luckily, Tyro was able to gather his energy and form a shield just in time by crossing his arms. Squeeze your leg muscles to push yourself forward against the force of the opposing beam's attack. He wanted to get close to Sebastian and get him under control quickly.

Tyro furrowed his brows and blurted out in a calm, stern voice, “Release her now!”

“Dammit, you've already arrived!” Sebastian said in a calm, cold voice. He tried to increase the intensity of the Wang beam and push the blue-eyed young man's body flying. However, no matter how much he increased his power, it seemed completely useless—Tyro showed no signs of taking a single step back. It was also creeping closer and closer.

Ilyse saw the situation and thought about rushing in to help Tyro again.

“ Tai- ”

Before stopping mid-speech After realizing that he should use the moment when his friend was the focus of attention, he ran away to find a way to approach the other party. Or to help the girl out would have been a better way.

“Ugh!-”

Maybe it was because that light started to create heat around the curtain of energy on Tyro's arm. His concentration inadvertently slipped for a moment, causing his body to be slightly thrown backwards.

“Just fly away!”

Sebastian's voice began to tremble, almost unsteady. He couldn't spare any more energy within him to use in battle. All that was left was a quantity too small to even theoretically stabilize the portal.

But Tyro was not saddled with such problems. Therefore, he was able to increase his power to the limit—the result was that the range of the shield expanded so much that it pushed Sebastian's energy back towards him. It caused a huge explosion that created hot air that knocked the two people flying in different directions.

The tyro was sent flying and rolling along the cement floor until he slammed into the wall. Sebastian is thrown and crashes into the ship. Make the residual energy in the hand go away. That green light pierced the flesh of Essena's right arm and side, creating gaping wounds.

An indescribable pain ran through the entire right side of his body. It was as if a hot knife had been pierced into that part of the body over and over. Essena gritted her teeth to suppress her shrieks, wrapping her body slightly and thinking of using her left hand to put pressure on the wound. But when he saw that the wound was not bleeding at all because it had been cut by the heat, The pain immediately subsided.

Suddenly, for some reason, a portal opened. A shape resembling a black hole or an infernal sphere appeared. And that was the opportunity Sebastian had been waiting for all along—the sight he had always waited for.

He tried to push himself to his feet. before rushing into the spacecraft to cross the dimensional portal However, due to the little power that was left from the battle just now and for some reason that he himself did not know. Sebastian was violently hit back by the centrifugal force of the portal, with the ship partially twisted into pieces by gravity.

“Ugh-” He was languishing on the ground in pain. Many parts of his body were covered in blood flowing from wounds cut by scraps of machinery.

Tyro then used this moment to rush in and capture the other party.

“I got you.” He used his knee to press down on Sebastian. Crossing his wrists together, he held onto a pair of glowing blue handcuffs that were meant to block the flow of energy. That is, to contain the use of power. And at the same time, Ilych had just finished helping to release the chains that held Essena's hands.

“Is that okay?” Tyro asked Essena. For whatever reason, I don't know. Essena could feel the concern in that calm voice.

“ ...Actually, it's not very good. But I think it's okay.”

Even if it hurts to the point of death But she has a very high tolerance for pain.

A sweet smile plastered on that beautiful face. Hiding the unimaginable pain

Ilych walked up to Sebastian and Tyro before speaking briefly.

“Release him, Tyro.”

Those words were beyond Tyro and Essena's expectations. They didn't know why the other party said that.

“What do you mean?” said Tyra, while Essena just tilted her head in confusion.

“Do as I say. He won't hurt us. His power is gone.”

Tyrol secretly sighed, slightly annoyed. before releasing Sebastian as his partner had said Of course, he didn't actually do anything like Ilich said.

The young man's amber eyes stared at his husband.

“Actually, you couldn't return to Earth because I destroyed the portal myself, Sebastian, it was my fault.” Ilich lowered his eyes slightly and said with guilt.

“What do you mean, Illich?” Sebastian looked at his boyfriend, not understanding.

“At that time there were officials who came to inspect our organization. I don't want you to get caught. So I have to do it. They believe I'm not the only one doing it. So our organization was put on the blacklist.”

“That's why you became an officer to destroy the case so that other officers wouldn't catch me.”

“Yes, and also to...find you.” Illich dared to look into Sebastian's eyes. But the sadness and guilt still didn't go away.

“But I can't avoid the future.” He turned away. before sighing and indirectly hinting at something

“What future?”

“I will be your gateway, Sebastian, so that you and Tyro can return to the original world.”

“Absolutely not!” Sebastian shouted loudly and walked over to grab Ilish and turn him around. His expression showed bitter pain in his voice. “I lost you once. I won't lose you again.”

“Fate has determined it to be like this. I can't avoid it. At least it's compensation for my mistakes.” Illich shook his head and smiled. before gently removing both hands

“What do you mean? I don't understand why we have to believe in God. Since we have always been able to live by scientific principles.”

Ilich walked to a stop in front of the portal. He turned and smiled at me without answering anything. He turned around and closed his eyes. The tall, slender figure slowly rose and glowed a pale yellow.

Tyro and Sebastian were wide-eyed. They both understood what the image in front of them meant.

That was to give up all the power equivalent to one's life to open the portal. And that amount would probably be able to overcome the limits that originally only one person could cross dimensions.

They could understand that the other party was trying to send them both back to their own world.

“Stop it, Illich, stop it now!”

“What the hell are you doing? Are you thinking of killing yourself?!” Tyro cursed. Even though he knew that he could not easily return to this world, he did not ask for Ilich to die just because he sent him back to his original world.

Just because of that

Just because of that reason

However, their words were ineffective. Ilyse didn't bother to hear those words of restraint at all—because she already knew she would hear those words—words that came out of such concern. So he had to pretend he didn't care.

Because if you're sensitive, If those words made him realize that he could still live. He—Ilyse might as well stop whatever she was about to do. And he didn't want it to be like that.

For everything that has always been done He knew he couldn't be distracted.

The whole room began to shine with a light so bright it hurt the eyes. before extinguishing in the blink of an eye It appeared that Ilish's body had collapsed on the ground.

“ Ilish !” Tyro and Sebastian shouted in unison. The professor gritted his teeth and quickly picked up his tall, slender figure and jumped into the portal. Leaving the other person alone with the young woman.

“Miss Tairo,” Esena's soft voice spoke. causing Tyro to look down She was getting closer and closer to dying. But he still had the strength to speak so that he could be heard. His eyes slowly closed as well.

“You hurry back to your own world.” The woman smiled faintly and reached out to take both of the other person's hands and squeeze them. Tyro's eyes flickered as if he was losing someone he had just felt attached to.

“No, don't leave me.” It was the first time that a person like him dared to say a plea to a young woman. He had never felt this good and no one had ever understood him like this before.

Before he let go of her hand He never knew that the world he lived in was so bright.

As she reached out to him, a small breath of life and a body slowly disintegrated. He began to want to call out for her love without fear.

“I love you,” the short words were confessed. As the young woman's body dissolved into dust and sand and disappeared into the young man's embrace…

“Ilych, recover.” Sebastian, who had successfully entered the dimension. During the journey across dimensions He tried to wake up Ilish in many ways. But it doesn't seem to work.

“Ilich, we're reaching our home. Really won't recover?” Sebastian's expression was clearly sorrowful and reminiscent. His eyes flickered again. He couldn't do anything but hold the other person's hand up and kiss it, waiting for him to fall asleep quickly.

All of a sudden…

“Zebbie,” until a strong hand slipped a letter into the coat and a gentle voice called out. Sebastian suddenly looked up. He saw the person in his arms smiling at him. before being the one standing on the ground instead

“Ilich, you are still alive.” He sighed first and said in relief. Ilish then slowly put a finger over his mouth.

“No, Zebby, I don't have long to live.” His words caused Sebastian's face to become sad in the blink of an eye.

“I love you very much, but I am also hurt that you are gone from my life, Sebastian.” The words of the amber-eyed young man made Sebastian feel heartbroken. Ilish cradled his face and leaned on it. before kissing their lips to say goodbye to eternal love

“Darling, am I not being selfish now?” Ilish took the young man's hand and kissed it. The pain in Sebastian's chest doubled. He had accused Ilich of being selfish before. The future boyfriend's sacrifice left him speechless.

“Ilish, wait, Ilish, oh no, wait for me, Ilish, Ilish! Ilish!!!” As Ilish's body gradually shattered and floated further away. Sebastian was also slightly shocked. He reached out his hand to grab it and rushed towards it with the last of his strength.

At that moment, Sebastian knew the true feeling of selfishness. A gentle smile of farewell made him sink to the ground and clutch his heart in pain and surrender. Because the person he loved has disappeared.

“ Ilish !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!”

...and then everything went completely dark...

All of a sudden!

In a world rich in nature combined with cutting-edge technology. A space tunnel appeared in midair and opened. Revealing the body of a tyro jumping down and standing on the grass. He stared blankly at the cityscape not far from the cliff. before sighing and looking at his own hand as it moved

I'm back now. .

“Essena...” he muttered with a sad expression. The eyes became dull. His hands clenched into tight fists. Tyro tries to forget. But I couldn't do it. If I meet someone who is understanding and friendly like you again. It would probably be quite good.

Beep!

The blue notification sound in the small torque sounded. Make Tyro press the watch button. A blue window screen appeared before your eyes. It is an application that is similar to the human world. Just the evolution of the system

AI

It's just more advanced.

 [ Essena

You've been added as a friend ] That's what Tyro saw on the screen.

Building…building…building…

On the side of the European Spacetime and Space Research Organization, the area is desolate and surrounded by nature. Sebastian trudged in absently. His eyes were still sad and unchanged. Rough hands took off his glasses and threw them away. Before coming to a stop in front of the funeral tomb he had made with his own hands, he dropped to his knees on the ground like a person in despair.

' Gone and never returned.

R.I.P.

Ilyich Tchaikovsky'

Sebastian was speechless. He held back the pain. before realizing that Ilish had left a letter for him before he died. So I decided to pull it out and carefully unpack it and read it. Inside, there were only Russian letters carefully written in ink.

[ To Sebastian

I don't know if this letter will reach you before the prophecy comes true. I don't even know if I can fix the future. You probably know that I have the power to see the future. But I never told about my powers. When we did cross-dimensional projects together I see myself, Sebastian.

I see myself dying in the future. And in that future, you were with me, but you, you just held me when I was about to die.

I've been trying to warn you, Sebastian. The name of the project is the name of a flower in Greek mythology that ends with someone dying in their husband's arms. But you never once doubted its name. No one even searched or asked me. Until it's too late to fix the future. After you cross dimensions I felt helpless.

Can't see the slightest way to solve the problem.

But Sebastian This isn't your fault. So don't blame yourself. It's my fault that I was selfish and didn't dare tell you the truth. Because I also care about our project. I want our research to be successful and move forward. So I didn't think to tell. But I didn't think it would break when the authorities came to inspect our organization. Think about it, Sebastian.

If we traveled to another world and had dinner at a luxury restaurant. How warm and romantic will it be? Travel together in the forest, go fishing together, get married together in another world.

Sebastian

Can you promise me that after I'm no longer with you? You will definitely not blame yourself and hurt yourself.

From Your Hyacinth ]

The young man stared at his boyfriend's handwriting on his hand. Ilish's words hurt him. My eyes started to burn. The feelings of guilt that wash over you cause your body to tremble as it affects you mentally.

Is it because of this? That's why you named the project Hyacinths, Ilish...

“I'm sorry, Ilish….I'm sorry…..I'm sorry……! “Teardrops of water flowed down from both eyes. Sebastian bent over and clutched the letter tightly and let out a hopeless yelp. He felt guilty and sad at the same time. But I can't do anything. Aside from repeatedly apologizing in front of the grave where there was no corpse buried underground.

But then a miracle happened. When the tears turned into something that slowly grew gracefully from the ground, it was a 'Hyacinth', a cream-colored flower that looked like a five-pointed star in full bloom. Several flowers appeared around the tombstone, causing Sebastian to stop and look at it with a strange expression.

“Ilich, is that you?” he said in an idiotic tone. Because he thought that these flowers were his boyfriend. So he slowly reached out and grabbed its petals with hope. It reacted by lightly intertwining his fingers. Sebastian saw this and smiled through tears. The leaves on his hand showed that Ilych had not gone anywhere and was always with him.

“Let's start over together, Sebastian.”

- Completed

**** Hyacinths, flowers that symbolize new beginnings, competition, and sincerity (only the flowers are blue) in Greek mythology are mentioned in southern Greece. There was a beautiful young man whom even the gods fell in love with named Hyacinthus. The sun god Apollo and the west wind god Zephyr both fell in love with the Hyacinths. So they compete with each other.

The result was that Apollo won. One day Apollo and Hyacinth were playing discus throwing. In the anger of Zephyr So he blew air at the chakra. causing it to fly faster than Apollo had intended. So it hit the hyacinths. Hyacinth, unable to endure his wounds, died right there.

Apollo was unable to rush in to support the Hyacinth. But because I don't want to be separated from the person I love. So he conjured Hyacinth's blood to flow and turn into a red flower and named it Hyacinth. It is said that the tears that Apollo shed on the blood of the flower petals have an indirect meaning. 'Please forgive me'
