Stop in front of an old flower shop.

There are still about 15 minutes left for the bus to arrive.

Big, yeah- bigaaaa-

I could faintly hear the sound of a dog barking nearby, and it was ominous, reminding me of the loud sound of an old man boiling phlegm.

‘why-?’

―The leaves are still rustling in the late spring breeze, but Yena’s time stopped for a moment at his word.

“-But why did you hit Dahyun on the cheek?”

It was an incident that happened just three days ago.

At the cafe [Cujo], I got so angry for a moment that I slapped my junior in the face.

I feel guilty, but I have no intention of apologizing first. Because there was a reason.

‘Wait a minute, how do you know…? … ?’

At that time, there were only Yena, Dahyun, and Mia in the cafe.

Of course, she didn’t say anything, so one of them must have known.

Yena cautiously opened her mouth. The scars on my lips were covered with colorless lipstick.

“Did he whine? He said he got slapped?”

“No.”

Dahyun Jeong, a first-year junior.

I still hid the fact that she was Nalari, whom I met in middle school, from Jeong Gyu. Then you must have been silent about this.

“I see. Then Mia-.”

Is he in separate contact with the cafe owner, a common acquaintance?

Because when I was young, Jeonggyu and I used to play often.

I didn’t ask if I should contact him separately because I thought it would make a fuss. Most likely.

“That older sister? I don’t even know my cell phone number anymore.”

He just shook his shoulders calmly, as if he wasn’t sure.

It’s getting more and more questionable.

It seems like he was hiding somewhere and watching my actions… … .

‘I was watching.’

When she looked at the man she was probably in love with, but also afraid of, in awe, her eyes were not the crazy look she had before jumping off with him in her arms, but her usual half-filled eyes.

Everything, I’m glad.

You won’t suddenly run into the bus, right? I don’t want the pain that follows, I don’t want to be in pain again!

At the same time, the question that Jena had been holding deep in her heart rose like a snake’s head.

-Do you really not know?

After two deaths, she realized the principle of this phenomenon.

The moment the pain that cuts through your flesh ends, a dark blue shadow fills the place, and you return to a certain point in time – the rooftop, where Jeong-Gyu is right in front of you.

overcome death Death regression.

I had crazy thoughts about using this ability to buy lottery tickets or to live up to my father’s expectations of singing doctor~doctor~ songs. I gave up right away.

The exact conditions of the ability are not yet known. If you die carelessly, you will end up completely unemployed.

Moreover, Yena is not particularly concerned about money and fame.

I just want to live happily.

I want to live a normal life with my loved one in a smaller house than now.

Preferably in a location outside I City.

In any case, the return to death was preceded by the death of Jeong Jeong both times.

Is this a condition? If hit, it smells suspicious.

At first, I thought that the terrible method of suicide was the reckless behavior of a mentally damaged person, but wouldn’t it be possible to look at it from a different perspective?

‘… In the worst case, they could be aware of my regression and try to use me or shock me.’

What if I express that I hate myself to the point of causing enormous pain to my body?

It feels bitter, as if salt had been applied to a pierced chest.

We would like to check this out on a ‘date’ at a shopping center just for the two of us.

And I want to convince Jeong-Gyu.

‘There is absolutely no reason for Jeong-gyu to reject me.’

‘Rather, I am protecting him from his collapse.’

I was just looking forward to today.

You’ve prepared hard, but if you go against your intentions due to a minor mistake, you’ll be in trouble.

Phew – Taking a deep breath, she soothed the big baby.

“That’s right. I hit him. Because it disrupted the discipline of the school.”

“Discipline?”

“Yes… That kid is beyond redemption. Didn’t you forget that Nakwon High School is my dad’s school!?”

The chairman of Nakwon High School is Yena’s father.

Private school foundations have been operated since ancient times. Naturally, my daughter cares about the school’s reputation.

“Won, what does this have to do with it? Why did you slap me? I found out by chance.”

Hmph, how did you know by chance? There must be another way.

I didn’t say it out loud.

Yena speaks with her arms crossed. The sparkling blonde light shines behind her like a halo.

“Hmm. Dahyun is raw yachi. I don’t hesitate to go around the school smoking. There are photos too. Yeah, right. The reason I broke up with you was when I found out everything about your whereabouts.”

“… No way. You probably got it wrong.”

Gyu-jeong narrows his eyes as if he is dumbfounded.

It’s half, no, more than 80% true.

Now that I’ve lost my hair and pretended to be an honor student, the swaggering attitude I showed at the arcade hasn’t gone anywhere.

“No. It’s bad. That day, he was caught smoking in front of me, so he yelled at me. An excellent scholarship student dares to smoke? I can’t help but stop-.”

Strictly speaking, this is true.

Because within 24 hours of returning to her ‘death regression’, I witnessed her lighting a cigarette instead of incense.

Maybe I haven’t completely cut it off yet.

So, Yena is not at fault.

“Now, shut up. Joo Yena. I understand.”

Although it was harsh, Jeong-Gyu let out his words with half the irritation than usual. There doesn’t seem to be any intention to question it further.

“If it’s because of me, it’s because I don’t have the dignity to look at Dahyun.”

“Of course it’s not because of you-.”

“Lies.”

When the word “lie” came out, I was shocked and even had to cover my mouth, but the answer that followed was surprisingly heartwarming.

The same tone he used when he helped Yena up when she always fell and hit her nose.

“… You know what I hate doing, right? Is it all true?”

“It’s true. Trust me!”

I don’t want to imagine the repercussions if I get caught later.

Even if you have to kneel down and pray, you have to escape now.

“If I’m not involved, do whatever you want.”

“Uh, don’t you get angry anymore?”

It doesn’t seem like they were friendly or harbored any rational feelings.

Her childhood friend responds indifferently.

“No, there is no guarantee that I didn’t look at the wrong person. After that, I openly avoided him.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

The bus is slowly coming.

Hwii-

As I was walking towards the street from the sidewalk block at the bus stop, a wind that was somewhere between a breeze and a breeze blew, and the hem of my clothes started to flutter.

“Ugh. Tsk.”

“… … … … ”

“I saw it, did I see it!?”

“No. I didn’t see it.”

There wasn’t even a slight movement on his face, so it seemed like he was asking back for no reason.

“Aha, aha. It’s not cancer. Since I made a reservation at the restaurant in advance, for lunch-.”

Yena smiled brightly, scratching her cheek with her index finger.

The two of you going shopping together makes me feel like I’m back in time.

When I took Jeong Jeong to the department store, the memory of him gaping at the sight of an extra 0 or 00 on the price tag comes to mind.

today… … perhaps… … .

***

It is natural for men to like pretty women.

Need to look inside?

It’s much easier to judge based on outward impressions, but that can’t be possible.

The fact that Yenna was teased a lot in elementary school, especially by boys, was probably a twisted expression of affection for her, who stood out.

The reason I approached Yena when I was young was not only because of her looks, but most of all because she was honest.

-Although he was a loner, he didn’t lie at all and shared his likes and dislikes and impressions.

Yena just lied to me.

Since when did it start?

Putting on a mask and telling a lie at the same time. Along with arrogance, this is the first bad habit to break.

At least, you have to tell me the truth.

[The constellation ‘The opposite of the one who lives is suicide’ criticizes users for hiding the fact that they say ‘black’.]

“It’s a trivial lie. Lying is absolutely necessary in human relationships. If you go too far, you will be punished. Isn’t that right?”

I plan to punish Jena.

I lied to Dahyun, who was the only person I talked to for more than 10 minutes a day for a while.

Above all, I gave her a chance to be honest, but she tried to get over it and just let it go.

You deceived me and looked down on me!

The reason I know about what happened at the cafe is because of the newly purchased and used power.

Guanyin (1 hour/one-time use): Users can check and record the movements of the ‘person to be scolded’ in video format through a smartphone/monitor for 60 minutes.

The existing suicide shop mostly had physical tools such as knives and air mats, but the items added to the suicide shop this time are both intangible abilities.

Amnesia (24 hours), which costs a whopping 300 points, and Guanyin, which can be used once by paying 30 points.

After school that day, I observed and recorded Jena through Quan Yin (for 1 hour).

A scene where Dahyun interrupts while she is studying at a cafe.

The scene where the junior exposes Yena’s mean interference.

A scene of arrogant declarations as if they knew everything about me.

Everything from bad to bad.

‘I was wondering if I would lose the point, but I caught a big fish.’

I see a blonde girl dozing off right in front of my bus. They look like angels, but they are evil on the inside.

A bitter smile automatically forms on my lips.

[Next stop is Sunfield Mall, Sunfield Mall!]

At that moment, Joe heard an announcement and pressed Yena’s neck.

It’s so soft, it’s so soft – it’s amazing when you go in. He wakes up with a cute moan.

“Huh, ah!?”

“Yenaya. We’re almost there. Get ready to get off.”

A shopping mall with a grand and unique design shows off up close.

I look at the clock and it’s 10 am.

Exactly 6 hours from now. So, at 4 p.m.

-I am not committing suicide, but being brutally murdered. In front of Yena’s eyes.

Again and again and again.
