The Life Behind The Painting
Episode 11

"It must be just a coincidence!"

"No, this is true, everything he says is true."

"Tae Jun, don't you know anything?"

"I don't know what's going on."

Min Kyu is convinced by his thoughts and asks Tae Jun to follow him to his room.

"You two go to sleep and we'll discuss this tomorrow."

the Min Kyu Room -

Tae Jun doesn't know anything about what happened, he feels alien and confused. He also doesn't know anyone here and only remembers about the girl he just met.

"Actually, what happened? Why am I here?"

"I don't know about this either, but there's a book you should read" Min Kyu said, picking up a sari under his closet.

"I don't know why my grandfather gave me this book, he just said.

If my sister is 17, there will be a new life in the past."

"I really don't understand."

Min Kyu gives the old-looking book to Tae Jun. Tae Jun looked at the book and picked it up. By the time he started reading it, he was shocked by what he had read on the third sheet of the book.

The third sheet writes.

...--------------------------------...

I'm so worried about this history, I'm going somewhere else to die. But that girl saved my life, when I fell asleep all over again, that place I didn't see after I got married.

But the dream kept haunting me, I painted a Youth born in ruin. He grew up between life and death.

The thing I was afraid of was the dream where the young man was present in the life of my seventeenth grandson, who would be between life and death in a magic ability that would explode.

...--------------------------------...

"Why, why is it like this? What does this writing mean?" Tae Jun asked who was confused by the meaning of the writing while looking at Min Kyu.

"I don't know about this, it's been too long, it's been coming down from my family. I don't want my family to live like this. At first I thought this book was just a piece of writing, but today it all proves what the book means."

The clock has shown at two o'clock in the evening, Tae Jun standing next to Min Kyu's room window, as well as Min Kyu. None of them spoke up, all busy with their own thoughts.

"If you're tired, get some rest."

"I'll rest in a minute."

Min Kyu was already fast asleep, while Tae Jun was still staring at the clear sky and the flickering stars above.

He was confused by what happened, how he could be in a place he did not know. He glanced at a neatly arranged mini urn, with high curiosity he touched the object.

"It's silver and gold!"

Tae Jun looked at the whole room, there were many mini objects that looked antique and arranged so neatly. Looks like the owner of this room is so obsessed with antiques.

Late at night, Tae Jun begins to feel sleepiness that he rarely feels. But in this place he seemed to be unable to withstand his drowsiness.

Lazily he stepped closer to the sofa long enough beside him, he lay there, facing out the window that had been tightly closed with curtains and began to sleep.

No feeling the sun has risen indicates it is morning. The man frowned after waking up from his sleep, he remembered last night not wearing a blanket. But what he confused was not that, but himself who was still in the same place.

"The sun has risen, why am I still here?" He said as he looked at the sky behind the window now not covered by curtains anymore.

"You're up, go take a shower and put on my clothes."

Tae Jun got up from his sleep and folded the blanket he used. He followed Min Kyu into the bathroom and listened to all the explanations given by Min Kyu on how to bathe in this day and age.

"I put the clothes here, then look for the stairs and go down, then go to the left to go to the kitchen."

"Yes." Yeah."

the First Floor -

As usual, they had breakfast together and only the sound of plates and spoons clashing together.

Soo Hyun and Jin Young occasionally steal glances at Tae Jun.

"Is something wrong?" Tae Jun asks when he realizes that Soo Hyun and Jin Young are watching him.

"A, No."

Tae Jun could only look at them with a puzzled look, thinking maybe they were looking at him with a different appearance than before.
