--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1: Permission to Beatbox
"What is a beatbox?" tboah!Mary ask as she was curious about the new word.
"It's some kind of musical instrument that shape like a box and makes a sound if you beat it. Thus beatbox." tcf!Cale explain as he was munching a cupcake.
Assistant Leader Kim Min Ah decided to hold an important meeting, at an unholy hour, that very Monday.
tcf!Cale and og!Cale stiffen, "Is Kim Min Ah gonna be involved in the future? How about the others?"
tcf!Cale focuses on that familiar name. He wonders how his team is doing.
"They're doing great" og!Cale said as if hearing his thought.
tcf!Cale let out a small smile.
Well, not really, it was just forty minutes before the morning shift started. Most of them just hated mornings. And Mondays. But it still was better than working a night shift on Friday.
Like, no. Just no.
Because of this, most of the team members appeared holding a cup of coffee. Min Ah included.
"I wonder what meeting they will hold if they need to do it early in the morning?" tboah!Litana said thinking.
"Must be something very important for them to do it early in the morning" tboah!Witria said in response.
tcf!Cale and og!Cale is curious as well.
"Alright, since everyone is hereâ"
She wasn't even finished when someone raised their hand.
"Excuse me, where is Team Leader Kim?" And why did Min Ah even bother to send e-mails if no one was going to read them?!
"Wonder what's an e-mails?" tcf!Taylor was curious about that word.
"He wasn't invited." Jung So Hoon said in her stead, successfully preventing a murder. "The meeting is about him."
"Me?" og!Cale said eye raised "why would they talk about me?"
Everyone was also curious.
"Oh." Kim Min Ah thought they could now move on. Sadly, this person was quick to prove her wrong. "... what is the content of our agenda?"
She sighed.
"A petition to allow beatboxing inside whichever hospital room Team Leader is ever transferred to."
???
Everyone has an expression that says they can't believe in what they just read.
Like Why???
Exactly what og!Cale was thinking, "why would they want to do that?" as he drink a sweet beverage.
"That's the new plan? Annoying him into not getting injured?" Another agent said in disbelief.
"Pretty much."
"!" og!Cale almost choked in his drink.
While everyone was looking at og!Cale and his many scars. They frown in concern.
"Haaa.." tcf!Cale sigh "this idiot was probably self-sacrificing himself and getting injured"
They had tried everything up to this point, so it couldn't be helped. The lengths the team went for that man were insane.
Now everybody is looking at og!Cale sadly. "This self-sacrificing idiot"
ctto: Unlucky Cactus (AirIam) from ao3
[End... Preparing the next]
"Hmm? what's that?" tboah!Tasha ask.
"There wasn't like that from what we first read, right?" tboah!Mary said.
"Yes, I'm sure there wasn't." tboah!Alberu said as he is recalling the previous information.
"ctto? in my world that means credits to the owner as far as I could remember" tcf!Cale said remembering that one time he surf the net for a story.
"Then if it's like that the credits are being given to this Unlucky Cactus (AirIam)" said tboah!Eruhaben as he looks at tcf!Cale.
"Yes sir and ao3 must be the site the system found it" tcf!Cale has a feeling he needs to be careful with this blonde elf beauty.
"Wait didn't the system say that the real information is credited and belongs to Yulyeohan/Yoo Ryeo Han." said tboah!Cage as she recall what the system said.
"Then that means if what we read is credited to someone else then that's not the information we're looking for." tcf!Rosalyn said thinking deeply.
"Is that easy?" tcf!Lock asks timidly unsure of this.
"Well they did say that they'll make it very easy for us." tcf!Alberu frown as he also can't believe it to be this easy.
Everyone looks at the slime.. that was sticking in the corner of the ceiling.
"..."
"pyah~"
Everyone's sweat drops.
[Start]
"You must be campfire."
Choi Jung Soo, bringing Cale to meet his family: everyone! This is the love of my life, the rose to my thorns, the syrup to my bingsoo! Cale Henituse!
Cale: what the actual f[]!
"What the actual f-!" the Cales have the same reaction.
Choi Han: WHAT SORCERY DID YOU USE TO MAKE MY NEPHEW LIKE THIS
"Nephew?" both Choi Han thought as he remember that name when it was mentioned in the first information "So this person is related to me" he smile wishing he could have met him.
Lee Soo Hyuk: holding CH back hello, please don't mind this rabid dog but yes I'm also curious
Cale: idk man he just suddenly start spamming me with bad pick-up lines, it's more tiring trying to ignore him so I agreed to go on a date. it went downhill from there
Choi Jung Soo: cale you can't mean that, you love me
The Cales face is now burning in embarrassment.
They don't know who the Cale that Choi Jung Soo is talking about here.
Cale: sigh
Kim Rok Soo: pats cale's shoulder in solidarity welcome to hell
"Ha! so it wasn't me" og!Cale said smiling and sighing in relief.
tboah!Cale was also sighing in relief.
"Hey! for all we know I was still Kim Rok Soo there" argue tcf!Cale, cause just no.
"No takebacks, I'm Kim Rok Soo now!" og!Cale argues back.
"That's right!" tboah!Cale said supporting og!Cale desperately.
"Wha-! you two-!" tcf!Cale was about to argue back when
Cough
There was a loud cough and the Cales look at them.
Some were suppressing their laugh seeing the Cales interaction, some look just amused, some are confused, and some are just outright laughing at them.
The Cales just look away flushing.
ctto: esdegen from ao3
[End... Preparing the next]
The Cales finally felt relief knowing this is not the real future.
[Start]
OG!Cale: We need a diversion... Quick, punch me in the face!
"And that's your brilliant plan?" tcf!Cale said raising his eyebrow looking at the two idiots beside him.
"Hey! for all we know it's you who was talking here" tboah!Cale said in his defense.
tcf!Cale scoffed "when I plan it's not reckless and doesn't involve self-sacrifice while you on the other hand is" "and why is that slime looking at me like it's judging me?"
"Wha- since when did I plan like that!?" tboah!Cale and og!Cale looks at him indecorously.
tcf!Cale look at them with a deadpan face and voice "your plan was to be a trash so our dongsaeng could be accepted" he said while making sure Basen wouldn't hear it.
og!Cale and tboah!Cale winced.
"... to be fair, I was young at that time" og!Cale said while looking away, and tboah!Cale just nodded agreeing with his future self. "Hey, he was eight when he plan that." tboah!Cale thought in defense.
Choi Han: Punch you?
The Cales flinched. "Of all people why Choi Han?! Do I want a death sentence!?"
OG!Cale: Yes. Punch me. In the face. Didn't you hear me?
Choi Han: I always hear "Punch me in the face" when you talk, but it's usually more subtext
"Cale-nim! I could never punch you even if you want me too" tcf!Choi Han said in concern.
.. "I could" tboah!Choi Han thought in concern.. for a different reason.
ctto: just-a-sleepy-person from Tumblr
[End... Preparing for the next]
"You know the names of these owners are quite unique" tcf!Jack said curiously.
"Yeah I also notice that, its probably a nickname or pseudonym?" said tcf!Hannah while crossing her arms.
They all just shrugged.
[Start]
"The True Face of The Trash"
Rok Soo looks into himself, he is in Rok Soo body. The muscular and slightly tanned body is such a different contrast than the pale and feeble body of Cale Henituse.
"Oh it's me, and I'm Kim Rok Soo here" tcf!Cale said while munching on the apple pie that a certain black dragon keeps shoving at his mouth.
- Human! This what you call apple pie is amazing!
"..I guess he likes it" tcf!Cale thought "but why does he keep shoving it to me?" as another apple pie shove in his mouth.
'Is this inside of a dream?'
[]
It is still weird to see him as with Rok Soo's body in this kind of place though. A part of him feels like he doesn't belong here. But like the usual him, Rok Soo doesn't really care about that kind of feeling.
'If this is a dream, this is really vivid and real.'
The last thing he remembers that he fell asleep with the little black dragon curled beside him. So, there is no other explanation than this is indeed a dream.
A dragon!? They can't believe tcf!Cale will have a dragon beside him, heck they can't believe a dragon would want to be with a human!
While tboah!Cale and og!Cale remembers the cute little dragon that they saw and were talking in their minds.
- Human! It's talking about the great and mighty me!
The black dragon flap its wings in excitement.
tcf!Cale was just ignoring everyone and being one with the comfortable couch.
Rok Soo walks into his supposed home, feeling peaceful but also slightly confused. He can't hear anything else or meet anyone else. He just walks to a familiar path toward his room. Even in a dream, Rok Soo only wants to relax around.
'Can I sleep inside a dream? Let's try.'
Everyone sweat drop.
"Really? the first thing you want to do is sleep?" tboah!Cale said with an 'I can't believe this' face.
tcf!Cale just shrugged.
[]
Rok Soo stops in front of his room, the door is slightly open. He peeks inside and his eyes shake.
There is a young man with a solemn face sitting inside his room, reading a book with a glass of wine on his hand. His hair is red, looks soft under the sunset light. His brown eyes read the book on his lap.
Cale Henituse.
Rok Soo is shocked.
Strangely, his instinct tells him.
'He is the original Cale Henituse.'
"Oh so this is the same as the first information we read," said tboah!Alberu as he thinks deeply.
"We can compare the difference between the two" tcf!Alberu said as he glance at his counterpart "it's a little weird seeing my other self" he thought as he continue "and if we see the 'ctto' again then we'll finally be sure if our theories are correct".
Everyone agrees on that.
That appearance is when Cale was 18 years old. The age when Rok Soo possesses that body.
[]
Both Rok Soo and Cale observe each other openly.
"I thought I would meet you sooner."
[]
Cale doesn't say anything, he just smiles slightly and sips his wine.
"I bet you want to ask me many things."
Rok Soo blinks his eyes and sees Cale smile wider at him. That is an amused but evil looking smile. Okay, not really evil, just an arrogant smile. Rok Soo feels rather iffy to see that smile on that face is directed at him.
"Hmm? Does my smile look evil?" tboah!Cale mumbles not really caring much.
og!Cale was thinking the same.
"Yes. Yes it is." tcf!Cale said teasingly, he wanted to get back at them a little.
Both just (pout) scowl at him.
"But let me ask you first."
Cale is speaking rudely at him, but Rok Soo expects that much from this guy.
"Who am I?"
"Excuse me?"
Rok Soo's eyes widened. He tilts his head a little in confusion.
"Why are you asking me who you are?" tcf!Cale asks raising his brows.
"I probably want to know if you even know me while you do things with my body as you pleased" og!Cale said.
"..." There was a long pause.
"Oooook that came out soo wrong" tboah!Cale was turning green.
While tcf!Cale was looking at him indecorously.
"That wasn't what I mean!" og!Cale was blushing while he defend himself. Just no.
"Who am I?"
Cale repeats once again. Rok Soo is speechless. From all of the things to ask, Rok Soo doesn't expect Cale to ask him that.
'Who are you?'
So many people asked that question to Rok Soo in Cale's body.
But to hear the original Cale ask that question is really baffling.
"You are... the original Cale Henituse."
It feels bitter to say that from his own mouth, it makes Rok Soo feel like he is the fake Cale Henituse.
og!Cale and tboah!Cale frown. "You aren't fake, we have now a mutual exchange, you are you and I am me" og!Cale said firmly.
tboah!Cale agrees "and I'm pretty much sure you're missing the point of the question."
Cale Henituse chuckles a little, he looks amused. Maybe saying 'original' is rather ridiculous. But his eyes say that Rok Soo misses the point. It makes the older man feel iffy to see the young man sneer at him.
"See, missing the point" as tboah!Cale said in confidence.
"Who is the original Cale Henituse?"
Rok Soo is silent for a while.
"You have spent two years in my body. Don't you know who I am?"
Those questions feel like stabbing Rok Soo. He never bothers to find out more about the original body owner because he thinks that is irrelevant with him.
tcf!Cale flinched. Yeah, he also didn't bother trying to figure out who the previous Cale Henituse is.
He glances beside him. Now he's glad to have met them and gets to know them. He let out a small smile.
Just a little bit of information from the novel and people around him feels enough for Rok Soo.
That is really rude for Cale, but that's how Kim Rok Soo is.
"Cale Henituse. The first son of the Count Henituse family. Also known as the 'trash' of the Count Henituse family."
"Trash, yeah right" tcf!Cale scoffed as he said that, yes back then he also thought the same but not anymore.
Everyone also thought the same, after observing and knowing more about Cale Henituse, he is no trash.
That's it.
Cale looks like he is about to laugh out loud but he holds it in and sips more wine.
For some annoying reason, it feels like Cale is toying with him. But, the older man thinks he owes Cale at least this much. So, Rok Soo continues.
"You are lazy. You have a temper. You have a problem with drinking. You tend to throw bottles at other people. You have bad manners."
Flinch
tboah!Cale and og!Cale both wince, they remember their life when he acted as a trash.. "but I did do a very good job" they smirk.
Rok Soo stops for a while, before he continues.
"But, you never harm anyone else."
tboah!Cale and og!Cale both froze. To think this person who never meet him back then figured that out. It melts his cold dead heart.
That makes the smile on Cale's face disappear.
"Hoo."
He sounds amused.
Rok Soo huffs. He knows that much. Many people used to fear Cale because of his temper, but to be honest no one ever said Cale ever harmed anyone before.
The Henituse family feels ashamed, ashamed that a transmigrator figures out Cale more than them who was living with him.
The people who believe in the rumors also felt shame that they believe he was trash just by mere gossip.
Rok Soo knows worse trash than Cale, it is almost weird to call this young man trash. Besides lazing around and his alcohol problem, the original Cale isn't that much of a troublemaker.
"You know in a way it's quite a feat, you let the whole kingdom believe your trash when you didn't harm anybody." tcf!Cale said thoughtfully.
tboah!Cale and og!Cale just shrugged and say in unison "I'm just that good" They smirked.
And tcf!Cale frown. "These idiots."
"Is that it? Do you know more about me, old man?"
"Hey! Who are you calling an old man when you're much older than me" tcf!Cale scoffed "it should be me who calls you old man mr.40 yrs old." tcf!Cale smirk.
"Hey! I'm a regressor so I'm now younger" said og!Cale in his defense.
"Don't worry both of you are an old man to me." tboah!Cale said mischievously.
Both of them (pout) scowl at him.
Rok Soo frowns to hear this young man called him 'old man', but he doesn't retort back.
Rok Soo chooses to observe the original Cale in front him more thoroughly. He wonders if he can record anything inside a dream, nonetheless he looks Cale closer than before.
Those brown eyes, they look sharp like typical villain eyes. But they also look tired and hollow. Most of his arrogant smiles don't reach his eyes.
That is weird, to see no anger inside his eyes.
This young man hasn't thrown any fit or tantrum yet.
He should be angry or at least, annoyed toward Rok Soo.
Basically Rok Soo just steals his body, living his life, hindering him from even spending time with his family. Even though it isn't Rok Soo's fault, Cale still has the right to get angry.
tcf!Cale also thought that, even though it wasn't his choice og!Cale still has the right to get angry or at least frustrated.
"I'm not angry because it was my choice. I choose to leave." og!Cale said "In fact, it should be you who has the right to get angry for being dragged into this" as he look downs. He doesn't regret his decision but he did feel bad at tcf!Cale.
"Why would I get angry when I can achieve my slacker life here" tcf!Cale said looking at him like he was crazy. "Besides, I would've died if you didn't accept the deal" he just shrugged. "and I did meet new (family) comrades" tcf!Cale mumbles while looking away with a tint of red in his ears.
-That's right other human! Thank you for letting our Human and us meet.
The little dragon pats him and the cats rub their head at og!Cale's hand. og!Cale look up and let out a small smile.
But, rather than doing that, Cale is testing him.
"Your alcohol problem."
Rok Soo stops then eyes Cale for a minute. He wonders if he should say it. He heard this information from the servants a long time ago.
Both Ron frown remembering his young master drinking alcohol like it was water. He wonders how his health is. He should make sure that all of his puppy young master drink only healthy drinks. Such as lemon tea. He smiles benignly.
The Cales shudder. "Why do I feel like I'm in trouble?"
"Some people said your alcohol problem is similar to the late countess's potion problem."
Potion problem is similar to drug addiction on Earth. No matter how potent a healing potion is, there is a dosage to consume it. Keep consuming potions without proper control might result in potion overdose. Rather than healing, the body will develop a dangerous internal disease.
Some resulted in death.
Just like the late countess.
"Hmm? Did the countess died of a potion problem?" tcf!Taylor thought "But in the first information she died by leaving a part of her ancient powers"
Everyone was thinking the same but no one said it out loud, who would want to be asked about how your mother died.
It is a taboo topic in Henituse territory, but some servants talked about how similar the mother and the son.
Both of them are addicted to something that could result in long term internal disease.
"Potion problem, or potion addiction, I never really look into the late countess's death. But, I would say there must be a reason why the late countess had a potion addiction."
Everyone was focused on reading. Since they can't ask they just need to figure it out by reading.
Rok Soo looks at Cale's stoic face. Rok Soo doesn't like to talk bad about a deceased person, especially when they weren't his enemy, but he needs to talk about it because it is connected to Cale.
"Most likely, the reason why the late countess had such a problem is because... some chronic pain or some mental disease that couldn't be cured with any potion or healing power."
The atmosphere is tense. To be in pain to the point of being addicted to potions. They shudder.
The expression on Cale's face is unreadable, but his fist turns white.
'This punk can hold his temper after all.'
Cale keeps beating his expectation than what Rok Soo hears about him.
"Since you have an alcohol problem, I almost want to say that your reason might be the same."
Everyone is now concerned. Is Cale in pain? Does he have a disease? They frown at that.
"I'm not" og!Cale said like he can hear their thoughts "I just drink because I like it" "and to also keep up the trash behavior"
tboah!Cale nods as well "I don't have any disease or pain"
"And why are they all looking at me like that?" og!Cale and tboah!Cale frowns and looks away.
"Haaa he's probably lying so that we don't worry, this self-sacrificing idiot" Everyone look at them with pity.
"Almost?"
That is what Rok Soo doesn't understand about his hypothesis.
Rok Soo shrugs his shoulders. He thinks there must be some correlation, but Rok Soo isn't really sure because he never bothers to find out about it. It could be that Cale has different reasons that lead him to develop an alcohol problem at such a young age.
"If you have a disease or some chronic pain, I should know about it by now."
But Rok Soo feels fine inside Cale's body. Beside his pale, thin and feeble body of Cale, Rok Soo thinks Cale is still fall into a healthy category.
Everyone felt relieved at that. It's good to know that Cale wasn't sick.
[] "Does that answer your question?"
Rok Soo asks back.
Cale is silent for a while then he sips his wine again.
"About 'who am I'? By far, not at all. You are getting there, but still so far away."
[]
"Who am I? If you ask that question, then it should mean you have something hidden in your identity."
Everyone perks up. Another identity. That means Cale has another identity than being trash and his self-sacrificing tendencies.
That is what Rok Soo thinks. The unknown secret of the original Cale Henituse, that is the real question.
"Give me a hint."
Rok Soo shows him a grin.
Cale grins back at him.
"Why do I feel like those two are scamming each other" thought by the shining crown prince.
"Okay, I will give you a hint. Dream."
Rok Soo is silent for a while, thinking hard about that word.
Dream.
This is also a dream.
'Is the answer inside this dream? No? Then---'
"I never dream, besides dreaming the past, ever since I possess your body."
tcf!Cale thought back then, he also can't remember ever dreaming. Does that mean that Cale has something to do with it? He glances at the two beside him and pause.
"Did the black dragon shove apple pie at them too?" As he saw their mouth full munching an apple pie.
- Humans! Apple pie is the best!
He decided to ignore it as he took a bite of the apple pie.
That is what Rok Soo realizes when he steps into this dream. Besides dreaming of his past, he never dreams anything else inside Cale's body. That isn't a problem so he never questions it before, but Rok Soo guesses, that isn't normal.
"Is it you?"
'He can control my dream?'
!?
"Can he? Can Cale Henituse control dream?" They all thought about that.
Rok Soo is bewildered with his own guessing.
Cale rubs his lip a few times before he finally nods.
"You are right about that."
Everyone is shocked at this.
To control a dream, based on that some people already have a theory.
That shocks Rok Soo.
"Then, can you guess, who am I? Or... should I say, what am I?"
[]
'The alcohol problem... chronic pain... some power related to dreams...'
"Dream seer?"
!!!
Those who know what a Dream seer is and what they experience shudders. They look at Cale with sympathy.
That stops the laughing completely. Suddenly there is a heavy silence between them.
'I am right.'
"Haaaaa..."
But it also makes Rok Soo sigh.
'So, Cale Henituse is actually a dream seer?'
Someone who can see the future through dreams?
"I can assure you that I can't see the future and can't control dreams" tboah!Cale said.
"Yup, the only future that I know of is what I experience" og!Cale supplied "which isn't really a bright future," he thought bitterly.
ctto: Seidoo_Reiki from ao3
[End... Preparing for the next]
"ctto, so that confirms that our theory is right" tcf!Alberu said.
"But these are all well made." tcf!Cale complimented the different informations.
Now everyone is sure and knows what to look for.
