***

Are you the one who cried sadly earlier?

Now he glares at me as if he were a family enemy. Even though I tried to explain it away, it was difficult for me to get the words out easily as I had just experienced being stabbed in the stomach like a lamb skewer.

What if this guy is just as crazy as he was?

It was a standoff situation without saying a word. It’s like a scene from a western movie with your hand in the holster and waiting for the noon bell to ring.

-Tie ring

Breaking the suffocating silence, a window appears in front of me with a refreshing notification sound.

[Guide to Dimensional Shift-1]

Guide to Dimensional Shifting…

[If you die in that dimension or become unconscious and cannot be revived, you will be transported to another dimension.]

As I was thinking about what this meant, the pigeon’s words came to mind.

[Travel through infinite dimensions until you reach the desired dimension.]

This bitch bitch…

So, if what I said is true, he was stabbed to death earlier and moved here, right? Well, it would have spilled all its internal organs, so there’s no way it could be alive.

So this is another dimension.

What, the dimension is no different from Earth. Plus, it looks like it’s Korea. What kind of multiverse is this? What a nice setup.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Who is Lee Hye-jeong?”

Ah, I want to think calmly, but why do you keep talking and making such a fuss? I’m already so distraught that I’m dying.

“Ah… Is it because I slept for a long time? I think I got confused with a dream.”

“What… was that something like that? I almost misunderstood again.”

“Haha… sorry. Ugh!”

She opened her eyes sallowly and pinched her side hard.

“Whether it was a dream or something, I met another woman. This is a worthy punishment.”

Okay, thank you. You’re an angel just because you didn’t get stabbed. A few hours ago, I asked who he was, but he was bragging about his talent.

I somehow got over the part where he said the name of a woman he didn’t know, but the most important problem still remains.

What is his name?

It was a failure to pretend to know for no reason. As soon as I saw it, I had to say I didn’t remember it. No, then I might have been stabbed again.

Although she appears to be more normal than Lee Hye-jeong, it is too early to let down her guard.

There’s no way that damn pigeon sent me to a safe place.

Rattling. The door opened again.

People in white gowns stand blankly in front of the door.

Is it time for rounds? But why are you standing there?

“ is patient Kang In-ho…?”

The old doctor in front vaguely calls me.

“Yes… Yes?”

“Are you awake?”

“Bo, as you see?”

I thought while answering in a childish voice. Ah, I guess I can buy some time.

***

As the doctor performed simple tests, he kept saying, ‘This is a miracle.’

From what I heard, he was unconscious for two months due to a car accident.

For me, this time of folding and straightening my arms and getting up and walking for a while was very comfortable according to the doctor’s instructions.

I was thinking that at least these people wouldn’t hurt me.

The girl who tried to stay with me was sent away. Although he made a fuss saying that he would stay by my side, it was a feat that I achieved by desperately winking at the doctor.

I told the doctor I couldn’t remember anything except my name. It’s not a lie, I really didn’t know anything about this body.

When I looked in the mirror, I saw an unfamiliar boy. He looked so handsome that it seemed like a girl like that would be attracted to him.

I also thought that if I had an ugly face, I wouldn’t have gotten that much attention.

After running a few more tests, the doctor explained that there was nothing major wrong with my body, but said that a detailed examination would be needed.

He also said that the lack of memory may be a temporary phenomenon as it is an aftereffect of a traffic accident, and advised him to first live a normal life and gradually regain his memories.

The doctor gave some instructions to the residents and concluded the rounds.

“Patient Kang In-ho. Congratulations on waking up safely. I really feel like God helped me.”

Uh… God is involved, but he didn’t help, he screwed up.

I couldn’t bear to say this.

After finishing his rounds, the doctor disappeared, taking the girl at the door with him.

And 30 minutes later.

“Inho, amnesia… is it real?”

“Yes. Actually me. I can’t remember anything except my name.”

“Then why did you say it earlier…”

A long explanation arouses suspicion. I decided to block all questions about what I had comforted earlier.

“I don’t know. Something familiar. It felt friendly. So I did that.”

“Inho…”

As if she was touched, she covered her mouth with her hand. He looks embarrassed because his ears are turning bright red.

And then he suddenly falls into my arms again.

“Shin Onyu.”

“Huh?”

“It’s my name. A friend who has been with you since you were 5 years old. I live next door to you and understand you better than anyone else. A friend who spends more time with you than anyone else.”

“In short, you are a childhood friend?”

“Hehe what is that. Isn’t that what people used in the old days?”

Ah… Don’t kids these days use words like this? I’m sad to be pointed out that I’m getting older.

“Ah, anyway, haha… I’m glad. I was worried because I couldn’t remember anything. Because you are next to me.”

“Yes! Don’t worry, I’ll stick by your side and help you remember everything.”

Yes, by adapting to this world. I will survive somehow.

Let’s end that horrible experience of being stabbed with a knife just once.

“Because I’ll be stuck with you all day. Be prepared♥”

Hmm… It’s going to take a lot of effort to survive. Fuck.
