One wall of the playroom is a large mirror. Of course, the researchers didn’t attach the mirror without thinking. The other side is a transparent glass window, allowing the playroom to be clearly visible.
Number 3 looked beyond the mirror. All you see is yourself.
Is my mom looking at me from the other side?
I heard that a new research director is coming today, so he may not be there due to announcements. Researchers who would normally come into the playroom once in a while are nowhere to be seen.
“brother. “Oppa.”
“uh? “Why, what’s going on?”
A small girl pulled No. 3’s sleeve and held out a block.
“Take this off.”
“okay. “Give it to me.”
The blocks that were tightly interlocked were separated, but the girl did not go and still clung to No. 3.
The child whispered as if he were telling some great secret.
“You know, brother. “I heard it’s your birthday today?”
“Where did you hear that?”
“Did the researcher say that when I was getting the injection earlier?”
“okay?”
Everyone will know when snack time comes for cake anyway… . Actually, I didn’t feel like it. I didn’t want you to celebrate my birthday or anything like that. Every time my birthday passes, I realize how much time I spent here.
Last year on my birthday, I ate a whipped cream cake topped with strawberries here.
I will eat the same cake today too.
And maybe next year too.
“huh. so… .”
However, the child, who did not know how No. 3 felt, spoke in an innocent voice.
“It’s a birthday present for my brother!”
The girl held out what she was hiding behind her back.
It wasn’t a big deal for something that was so tightly hidden. Two cookies wrapped in parchment paper. It was served as a snack yesterday.
“I didn’t eat it yesterday so I took it to give it to my brother.”
But this is all a child can get here. Rather than eating his favorite cookie, he gave it to himself.
I can’t tell you that I don’t want to wish you a happy birthday when I see your face full of anticipation.
Number 3 looked around. There were no researchers in the playroom.
So No. 3 spoke in a low voice into the girl’s ear.
“Thank you, Sohee. “I’ll eat well.”
Number 8, whose name was called after a long time, smiled brightly.
No. 3 shared and ate one of the cookies brought by No. 8 on the spot. When I tore off half of the cookie, Number 8 didn’t hesitate and ate it, probably because he wanted to eat it. When I removed the cookie crumbs from his mouth, No. 8 burst into laughter.
“Eat the remaining one, Oppa!”
The other children in the lab also tended to rely on the older child, Number 3, but Number 8 was particularly prone to this. Did he originally say he had an older brother? The more he remembered his outside life, the more difficult it became, so No. 3 deliberately did not ask him in detail.
Still, looking at No. 8, who follows me well, I remember how my little sister once begged my mother for something.
Ding dong.
A small alarm that disturbs memories.
“It looks like the researcher is coming. You have to be quiet. know?”
“huh!”
Number 8 returned to his friend carrying the block.
There is a disinfection room, so you have to wait a little longer to get into the playroom. Number 3 glanced at the door with a worried look on her face.
Morning injection time has long since ended. I already ate lunch. If it is nap time, you will be notified through the speaker and will not come.
If I hadn’t heard that a new research director was coming, someone would have thought it was being scrapped.
The door opened. Before the visitor appeared, a pounding voice was heard.
“It’s a nice atmosphere here. The children’s faces are bright too. great. Very good.”
“I came back to check the sea just before, but it wasn’t really there. “I was worried because everything had been discarded.”
The voices of unfamiliar men and women.
“haha. “It makes me sad to compare ourselves to the sea.”
Mom’s voice is heard afterward.
Are those two new people? Which of the two is the head of the research institute?
The atmosphere of the research institute changes depending on the personality of the research institute director. Of course, we have no choice but to react sensitively. This is much more important than your birthday.
What was the lab director like when Number 3 first came here? Even among researchers, whether they knew it or not, it was not well received. Needless to say, the kids hated it.
Sister No. 1, who was particularly rebellious, was often called by the director of the research institute. Every time she went, she came back crying as her No. 1 sister.
Fortunately, though, the director of the institute did not last long.
The director of the institute who came next said he was busy and couldn’t see him often, but he paid a lot of attention to the children. Snack time and nap time also happened at that time. When we learned that there were many children who had nightmares and woke up crying at night, we gave them a soft doll as a gift.
What kind of person is the director of this research institute?
Mom guiding the facility… The researcher’s face is seen first. Her hair her graying Men and women follow behind them.
Number 3, who was trying to find out the director of the laboratory, did not pay attention to the two people. Rather, my attention was focused on the person following behind.
A black t-shirt with a long neck. Black pants made of thick material. Black military boots. Black leather gloves.
And, a crow mask with a long beak.
Executioner. Or a watcher.
The man who killed the first lab director.
“Ugh.”
A white hand stretched out from within the embrace and grabbed the crow’s beak.
It’s a small boy. Sohee, looks similar to age 8.

The child rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“huh… mom? “Where am I?”
A woman looking around the laboratory stroked the child’s head.
“laboratory. “Did you hear the explanation from Dad yesterday?”
“cellar… .”
“Did you just forget about it?”
The man next to me clicked his tongue in an awkward voice.
“You said you’d be staying here for a while.”
“hmm… . uh! It’s LEGO! “Can I go and play?”
“Aren’t you hungry? “You continued to sleep without eating.”
“huh. are you okay.”
“I’m just hanging out here for a bit while Mom and Dad look around. where… . “Hey.”
The woman looked around the playroom and motioned to No. 3.
Number 3 was startled and approached the woman.
“Are you the oldest here? “What’s your number?”
“No. 3… no see.”
“Could you please watch my son for a moment? “It won’t take long.”
“… yes.”
I would have answered calmly even if my mother wasn’t next to me with her eyes wide open.
Whether you are a research institute director or a researcher. There was no way he would offend the person with the executioner behind him, right?
While the two new arrivals looked around the facility where the children were staying, Number 3 quietly approached the child. The executioner was watching the child near the door. As if that didn’t bother him, the child had already become friendly with the other children and was smiling.
“hi.”
“huh? “Hello, brother.”
“I say I’m number 3. “What is your name?”
“name?”
The boy’s eyes widened and the corners of his mouth curled up.
“Brother. You can’t ask for names here. “Can I tell mom?”
The innocently smiling face hit No. 3 like a block of ice.
“It’s a joke. however… uh? Are those cookies? “I want to eat!”
“uh? Now, wait a minute.”
“If you give me that, I won’t tell your mom.”
Before No. 3 could respond, the child took the cookie from No. 3’s hand. It was a cookie that Sohee gave me.
The child said, taking a big bite of the cookie.
“Okay, the name is okay, I guess…” What did dad say? Did you say number 12? It must be number 12. “Or not.”
“… … .”
Number 12 did not stay in the playroom.
After lunch, when it was time for snacks, he wandered into the playroom and played, and then went out again around dinner time. A man wearing a crow mask followed behind No. 12.
Even when No. 13, No. 14, and No. 15 were created, No. 12’s life did not change. The children were wary of No. 12 at first, but when No. 12 brought a lot of toys and snacks from outside, they became impatient because they couldn’t get to know him.
No. 3 is.
“Brother.”
“… huh?”
“The snacks sound delicious.”
I just gave up snacks to number 12.
Still, nothing much has changed in life at the lab. The new research institute director maintained the existing system. Sometimes the amount of medication I took increased, but that had happened before.
When did that start to change?
okay. It was then.
When the new lab director died and children came in droves.
When the husband of the former director of the institute, who became the new director of the institute, also suddenly died.
When No. 12 lived inside instead of outside.
From then on, everything changed.
* * *
Kang Tae-woo slowly got up from the bed.
Now, there are no medications to take as soon as you wake up in the morning, or injections to take after showering.
But there are still times when my left arm throbs. This is the arm where the injection was administered.
I graduated from the research institute two years ago.
There was some talk about discarding it, but perhaps because it had been doing well so far, it was able to be moved to another orphanage. It wasn’t until much later that she thought that the researcher might have done something about it. She was a person who no longer thought of herself as a mother, even if it was a mistake.
‘My face is also blurry.’
Rather, Sohee is closer to family.
How surprised I was when I saw Sohee at the orphanage. As she left the lab, she thought she would never see her again. So she gave me all the lemon-flavored candies that she had left uneaten and came out.
‘Oppa Taewoo!!’
Although she was big enough to not be able to lift it as lightly as she used to, she was still a cute little sister. Her pretty little sister smiled as she held out colored paper flowers, saying she made them at school. My little brother.
My younger brother whom I can no longer see.
smart.
“Student Taewu?”
“Yes, teacher.”
“Are you awake? Come out when you’re ready. “I have something to talk about for a moment.”
Heejae Woo.
The director was happy when I told him I had received a number from the National New Mind Spiritual Association.
… The director is also dead now.
What will happen to you in the future? This is why being a minor makes me uncomfortable. I planned to stay at the daycare center and do as I was told, at least until I became an adult. Since he was so deeply involved with the research institute, it would be impossible to come out completely, but it seemed possible to live quietly with his younger brother.
Otherwise, I thought it would be better to work harder and go back to the lab. This will help us find the lab’s younger siblings who may have been scattered to other orphanages.
It was like that.
“Student Taewu?”
Next to the bed is a flimsy white box. I received it when I registered as an awakened person. If I had stayed at the orphanage, would I have been able to run away with Sohee? Or yourself… .
“greatness. yes. “I’ll be out soon.”
“okay.”
Woo Hee-jae and Kim Chae-min, who had blocked him from seeing the orphanage, looked at him with sad faces. I wasn’t naive enough to not know what those eyes meant.
The dungeon break that happened only yesterday was forgotten. It has been a long time since it was pushed off the front page of the news. This is a world that doesn’t care if a few orphans die.
I changed my clothes and left the room. It was the first time she knew that there was even a hospital room with a bed. Woo Hee-jae took me there, saying that this place has the best security. I honestly don’t know why something like security is necessary. I just nodded when I said yes.
In the living room of the hospital room, there were Woo Hee-jae and Kim Chae-min, as well as a woman I had never seen before.
However, Kang Tae-woo’s eyes were not directed at those three people. Next to the window overlooking the city center. A man wearing a hospital patient’s uniform slowly turned around.
Hair carelessly swept away. A sparse beard.
This was the face that appeared every time I turned on the TV since last week.
No, even if it wasn’t for that, I would have recognized it right away.
“Student Taewoo Kang. My name is Hong Seok-young. Do you happen to know?”
“Just do what you normally do.”
“You’re doing what you normally do.”
“You put your voice down too much.”
“Would you like to show some respect for the principal?”
“Originally respect comes from salary.”
Woo Hee-jae snorted and approached.
“Student Taewu. now… “I know it’s very difficult, but it’s because this is really important.”
“yes?”
Woo Hee-jae placed her hand on Kang Tae-woo’s shoulder and gently guided him.
“This is Hunter Seokyoung Hong. But now he has come as a principal, not a hunter.”
“… “The principal?”
“Did I tell you that I’m a teacher at a pilot high school?”
“yes.”
“Do you know where the pilot high school is?”
“… “It’s a place to train hunters.”
“okay. “I know.”
Woo Hee-jae made eye contact and smiled sweetly.
“So, what do you mean? “Don’t you want to go to our school?”
