Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Twins
He turned around and was startled to see a man running toward him. The man threw his arms around Seojun in a tight hug, Seojun was taken aback.
"Who are you?" Seojun asked, confused.
The man was crying, tears streaming down his face. Before Seojun could react further, a woman who looked just like the man rushed over and hugged him too.
"Alexa?" Seojun muttered, recognizing her. He hadn\'t seen her in years.
The woman pulled back slightly and looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "Seojun! We thought we\'d never see you again!"
The man nodded, still crying. "We\'ve missed you so much. We tried to find you but couldn\'t just where were you?!"
Seojun stood there, trying to process everything. He had been searching for his mother, but now, seeing Alexa and her twin brother, he felt a mix of relief and confusion.
"We need to talk," Seojun said, his voice filled with emotion. "I need to know everything that\'s happened while I was gone."
Alexa and her brother nodded and quickly ushered Seojun into a waiting limousine.
As they settled into the luxurious vehicle, Seojun suggested, "Let\'s talk at my house."
Huno jumped into the car beside Seojun, making himself comfortable. Alexa took the seat beside the driver, while her brother sat next to Seojun, and Huno rested on the other side.
The two siblings exchanged glances and then told the butler, who was driving, to head to Seojun\'s house.
In the mirror, the butler asked, "Is that you, Young Master Seojun?"
Seojun gave a plain smile and a nod.
The butler continued, "Young Master Alex and Lady Alexa were so worried and have been searching for you for five years."
As the limousine made its way through his house, Seojun turned to Alex, his curiosity piqued.
"I\'ve been gone for five years?" Seojun said.
Alex looked at him with a serious expression. "You were one of those people who vanished five years ago. The others who disappeared with you returned three years ago. They said they were inside a tower, facing monsters."
Seojun was puzzled. "A tower? What do you mean?"
"You didn\'t came from the tower?! Then Where were you?!"
Ignored, Seojun\'s thoughts returned to his primary concern. "But my main priority right now is finding my mother. Do you know where she might be?"
"After you vanished, Auntie Seoyang came to us," Alex explained. "We tried to find you, but three days later, Auntie Seoyang also disappeared. Since then, we\'ve been trying to find her too."
Seojun\'s hands gripped his hair in frustration. "Just what the heck happened?"
Alexa and Alex exchanged concerned glances.
Alex placed a firm hand on Seojun\'s shoulders. "Calm down. We\'re not stopping until we find her. Now that you\'re here, we can use all our resources."
"Brother is right," Alexa added. "For now, you need to know what happened over the past few years. Let\'s talk inside."
The limousine arrived at Seojun\'s house, and they noticed the gate was broken.
"You did that?" Alexa asked, her eyes widening as she looked at Seojun.
Seojun didn\'t answer, simply walking past her and heading inside. Huno followed closely behind, his loyalty unwavering.
"Where did that dog come from?" Alexa asked, glancing at Huno with curiosity.
Alex shrugged. "It\'s been with him since earlier. Let\'s just ask him later."
Alexa\'s worry was evident as she turned to her brother. "I\'m really concerned. Can Seojun handle all of this? What if Auntie Seoyang is…"
Alex pulled his sister into a comforting hug. "Don\'t think like that," he said softly. "Seojun can handle everything. He\'s smart and strong."
He looked at Alexa with determination. "Remember, Seojun came from a tough background. His mother raised him on her own, struggling through difficult times. He\'s used to facing challenges and overcoming them."
Alexa took a deep breath, feeling a bit more reassured. "You\'re right. Seojun has always been strong and resourceful."
Alex nodded, giving his sister a reassuring squeeze. "Exactly. We\'ve seen him get through tough situations before. We\'ll help him find the answers and support him every step of the way."
Then Alex suddenly reached over and playfully pulled Alexa\'s hair.
Alexa winced in pain. "Hey! What was that for?"
Alex grinned, trying to lighten the mood. "So stop acting like that. Don\'t let Seojun see you so worried. He needs to see us confident and supportive."
Alexa narrowed her eyes and retaliated by grabbing Alex\'s hair. "So stop acting like that. Don\'t let Seojun see you so worried. He needs to see us confident and supportive." Alexa mimicking Alex words let out a shout,
"Ouch! Alright, alright!"
Alexa dashed inside the house, leaving Alex alone in the entryway, massaging his scalp where Alexa had playfully grabbed his hair. He sighed and then turned to the butler.
"Please go buy some food and drinks from the nearby convenience store," Alex ordered.
As the butler went out, Alex rejoined Seojun and Alexa, who had settled on the living room floor. Seojun was deep in thought, gently petting Huno.
Alexa sat down beside Seojun, trying to get his attention. "Seojun?"
Seojun looked up, his gaze distant. "Where\'s Alex?"
"Here," Alex said, entering the room and sitting on a rock in front of Seojun. He glanced around and then addressed Seojun. "Where do you want me to start?"
Seojun looked at Alex without any visible emotion.
Alexa chuckled awkwardly and gave Alex a playful slap on the shoulder. "Come on, brother, of course, start with what happened when he disappeared."
"Oh, right," Alex said, scratching his nape. Seojun changed a lot he thoighy
Alexa pouted how cold she thought
Alex looked at Alexa and then back at Seojun, realizing that his sister was right. He took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to explain the complex events of the past five years.
"Five years ago..."
