***

24th heaven. It was gloomy and starless.

” Sergeant Kang In-ho, it’s work time. ”

A woman with a young voice woke him up.

“Fuck.”

After checking where he was and what the people were wearing, Kang In-ho couldn’t help but swear.

A world where men and women serve in the military equally.

For a moment he was excited by the strange setting, but he frowned for a while at the resurrected memories of the past.

It was a shame because he was a middle-ranking royal high school student, otherwise he would have been lynched for being a scoundrel who even forgot the names of his executives and seniors.

‘Let’s discharge. Let’s stay safe until the end. ‘Let’s just act like a gwanmuldae and not do anything.’

However, the karma created by the owner of his body did not leave him alone.

“Ah, Sergeant Kang… Can you meet me when I am discharged?”

After finishing my shift, a woman who had just received the rank of private first class asked me a question.

Not wanting to provoke anyone, he nodded.

“Ah, Inho~ Let’s just specialize. When you’re discharged, I’ll only be able to see you on vacation.”

“Haha… I will visit you often.”

The female sergeant major said, rubbing his right chest with her hand.

Let’s get over it without provoking it. First, let’s think about it after being discharged.

He crossed off the calendar and was thankful that each day passed.

But his efforts were in vain, as the incident occurred a few days before his final vacation.

bang!

In the dark of the night, an ear-piercing noise was heard, and he, who was guarding the guard post, woke up his second-in-command with drowsy eyes.

“Hey, what did you just say?”

“No, I don’t know.”

“Try hitting communication.”

“Yes, I understand.”

While the deputy gunner was communicating, footsteps were heard.

“Stop, stop. If you raise your hand and move, it will shoot. 3.”

” This is this. ”

When he spoke Hapgu-eo, a sound was heard from the other side.

“Who are you?”

“This is Ki and Minji Kim.”

“Hey, what are you doing here? Didn’t you hear more than that?”

He came down from the guard post carrying an LED lamp.

“…….”

bang!

A loud bang was heard, and the man who was coming down the stairs fell down and fell to the ground.

“…W-what is it?”

He raised his head with no idea what was happening.

“Aaaah! Sergeant Kang!”

The second-in-command who was communicating gave a high-pitched scream and hurriedly picked up his rifle.

However, the trigger located at the safety block blocked the trigger, which gave the opponent, who had already fired the gun, time to pull the trigger again.

bang!

At the second sound, the head tilts back and collapses.

“Ah… it hurts.”

A feeling of being cheap.

‘What did I do wrong?’

Jerk, jerk. Coming military boots. He looked up with resentment at the face of the private who shot him.

“Why…? What did I do wrong?”

“Well, I… I know. Sergeant Jeon and Sergeant Kang are like that.”

“…Fuck.”

Having nothing to say, he closed his mouth.

“Haha… You don’t even deny it. I shot my leg just in case.”

“You aim well.”

“It was a lie that you said you would date me, right? Did you just say this casually to give it a try?”

“…….”

“Say something!”

“What can I say? I don’t even remember.”

He closed his eyes as if he had learned something, and then the sound of a gunshot was heard again.

He was starting to get used to death.

***

37th heaven. A clear, cool wind blew.

He met a sloppy woman.

It was a black-haired woman with bangs covering her eyes and smiling darkly.

“Hehe… Oppa, you can live here with me for the rest of your life.”

“I tied this less, right?”

“Ah, why is that…”

The woman waved her arms in a panic as the rope came loose when she applied force.

When he stayed still to see how far he would go, the woman clumsily moved her hands and tied him up again.

It took five times to tie him up again. Even that was a knot that could have been undone with some force, but he felt sorry for her whining and let it go.

“Now, ah~ This is food I made myself.”

“…There is no liver at all?”

“Well, I didn’t put it in for health reasons. It’s not good to eat it salty.”

“Really?”

When he stared, the woman averted her eyes.

“Say, actually… I ran out of living expenses…”

It was a sad situation to hear.

Her sorrow did not end here.

“Oppa’s favorite chicken~”

“Why half a fish?”

“I am full after eating.”

When a loud growling sound was heard, she lowered her head.

“Let’s eat together.”

“…Yes.”

There was another day like this.

“Why candles?”

“Hehe, today is the one-year anniversary of living with my brother. To lighten the mood.”

“Tell the truth.”

“I couldn’t pay the electricity bill.”

Another day like this.

“Oh, brother, the gas was cut off, so can I wash you with cold water today?”

“It doesn’t matter… Wouldn’t it be better for me to just work and make money?”

“No! There are so many foxy kids out there! I can’t lose my brother!”

Even on days like this.

“Oppa, isn’t it a bit half-happy?”

“…I guess.”

“That’s right, haha….”

“Monthly rent… is it a burden?”

“Hmm? no. I just asked. Well… I think I’ll have another part-time job.”

“Surin. I think it would be right for me to work too.”

“Absolutely not. My brother needs to stay in this house. Is it because you’re frustrated? Still, you let me see sunlight once a day.”

Surin was stubborn.

Kang In-ho did not feel love for this disheveled woman.

I just felt pity.

It was a twisted love, but trying to maintain that love somehow…

It’s like a reflection of yourself longing for love.

From that day on, he started secretly going out and working on days when she went to work part-time.

There was CCTV monitoring the room, but since she didn’t know how to operate it, it was easy to fool her.

The money he earned from his work was paid to the owner in advance as rent, or he secretly put it into her wallet.

“Hehe, I bought a chicken today!”

“Oh what’s going on?”

“Strangely, I have some money left over these days. The lady who owns the house also receives less money. Huh… Is this a financial investment?”

“Okay, let’s do it like that.”

Kang In-ho smiled as he watched her running around.

He thought this life would last for several years.

The plan was to slowly persuade her and send her out into society.

But the world was three times faster and four times more vicious than planned.

“Cancer?”

“Yes, it is cancer.”

A man in a white robe spoke in a dry voice.

“No, he’s just in his early twenties.”

“It has nothing to do with age. Irregular eating, stress, and other factors affect it.”

“Such….”

He saw Surin’s face lying on the hospital bed.

“It’s already progressed quite a bit… didn’t the guardian know?”

A voice that rebukes you. He closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head.

“…Because I didn’t show my pain.”

“You must have endured a lot. Honestly, at this stage, the only thing left is life-sustaining treatment. Have a nice conversation.”

Have a nice conversation.

What does that mean?

He sat in the hospital lounge and looked outside.

37th The sky was clear. Like shit.

Are there bad vibes flowing through the hospital?

Surin’s once bright face was haggard.

“Oppa.”

She must have woken up and called him.

“Yes.”

The man who was dozing next to her held her hand.

“Ehehe….”

What was so good about it, she laughed.

“Why do I smile like that?”

Kang In-ho’s throat got lumpy.

“Thank you.”

“What, what?”

His voice quieted down, as if submerged in water.

“You stayed with me.”

A weak smile. But a smile with all its might.

Kang In-ho felt like his heart was being squeezed.

“All we did was stay together.”

“How…how…big is that?”

Surin opens her eyes and says.

There were stars in the sky in her eyes. It sparkled.

“For me. I was always alone. I was bullied at school for being a bitch without a father, and my mom was hanging out with her lovers so I didn’t pay any attention to her. Even when I left the house, you didn’t call me looking for me.”

Says what she didn’t say.

“But my brother was by my side. You gave me a piece of bread when I was hungry and told me to cheer up. He also said he had nowhere to go. I tried 5 moves and failed them all.”

She tells the story as if reading a fairy tale.

“I’m so glad to have you by my side. To my brother, it may be ‘just being next to me’, but to me, it is ‘exactly being next to me.’”

I raise my hand, which is holding the sap line, and take away his tears.

“I’m really happy because I have you. It’s a bit unfortunate that we broke up so quickly… but it can’t be helped.”

therefore….

Surin said.

“So don’t cry. Oppa.”

Night in the hospital room. Kang In-ho sobbed.

In an empty four-person room, he shed tears hotly.

Three months later, after leaving Surin.

He did not form a relationship with anyone until he moved to the next dimension.

He started thinking about love.
