章 129: Chapter 129: They hated me

Shaun's eyes slowly opened, blinking several times as he adjusted to the light. He looked around the room, his gaze finally settling on Seojun and his mother. For a moment, his expression was blank, as if trying to piece together where he was and what had happened.

"W-where am I?" he croaked, his voice raspy and weak.

"You're in the hospital," Seojun's mother answered gently, moving closer to his bedside. "You've been unconscious for a few days."

Shaun's brow furrowed, confusion clouding his face. "The last thing I remember… I was fighting someone," he murmured, struggling to recall. "There was… darkness. But after that… it's all blank."

Seojun exchanged a quick glance with his mother. "You were in a tough fight," he explained carefully. "You took a pretty bad hit, and it seems like you lost consciousness after that. Don't push yourself to remember right now."
