Sarah's Unknown Memories_
I don't even know how many days have passed. Kang-i has become so disconnected. It's almost as if he's always been like this. Since we're a pair, it's inevitable we'll have some kind of connection.
The more I pushed away, the more Kang-i shook me. "Do you know what kind of person I am?" "I killed you. I didn't save you, saying I would live." "Do you think you could still come to me knowing this?"
"Hey Sarah, do you want to go to the store? I heard the menu changed today."
"Go with someone else"
"You're my only friend?"
"That sound again?"
" Seriously... Where are the eyes looking at me so kindly right now..."
" ??? You originally have a foul mouthDid you do it...? "
"Ah... I don't like it...? Sorry, I won't..."
"No, that's not it. I'm rough too."
"Haha, so what about the store?"
" ...Okay, let's go."
.

"Jelly looks delicious."
" ...I see."
"Then I have this... and you? "
"Not really..."
"You haven't even had lunch. Eat something..."
" ...I have this "
Sarah picked up the cream bun in front of her. Kang-i said she'd feel full if she just ate that, so she bought him some chocolate milk too.
"Let's sit here and eat."
" huh "
"How is it? Is it tasty?"
"That's right."
We didn't really have much of a conversation. We just...
This quiet, warm moment was peaceful. If I may be a little greedy, I wish this moment would never end. Just a little more... just a little more...
"Then let me have a bite too."
Without a word, Kang-i put his mouth to the bread. Then, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
" no!! "
" ...?! "
I forgot that Kang-i has a milk allergy.
" what's the matter...? "
"Spit it out!! Spit it out!!! "
"I only eat whipped cream...!!"
"You have allergies."
" ...! "
"Quick, quick, let's go to the infirmary."
"I only ate a little whipped cream, so I'm fine..."
"No, you're being harsh..."
"But how did you know that? I never told anyone."
I made a mistake. This isn't the real world, this is a game world. She now knows me as Park Se-ra. Do I know something others don't? It's only natural she'd be suspicious.
" ..... "
"Are you following me too?"
" what? "
"The kids at my school were always following me around. This place is full of rich kids, right? It's a piece of cake to dig up information on just one person, right?"
" ...Oh, I'm that kind of person. I'm just like them."
" .... "
I lived this moment as an opportunity. I had no choice but to tear Kang-i away, who was always hurting by my side.
"Why? Are you mad? You said so. That I'm different from others. That's why you like me."
"But what should I do? I'm just a human being like everyone else, and I just acted based on your appearance. Haha."
Kang-i stared at Sarah without saying a word. The gaze he met was intense and deep.
I was the first to turn my eyes away. I didn't have the confidence to look at it.
" lie "
" what... "
"Why are you avoiding my eyes? Why are you making that face?"
"Don't get me wrong."
"I know you're lying... Ugh..."
" !!! "
"Ugh... Ugh..."
"G, Kang-ah!!"
Kang-i's face flushed red in an instant. He felt feverish and his breathing became ragged.
"Look at me, breathe slowly."
"Isn't there anyone there?! Hurry up... hurry up and get Kang-i..."
Sarah held Kang-i's hand tightly. Her pale expression stabbed me in the heart.
"No... no, Kang-ah..."
I kept thinking back to that time. The image of her suffering kept coming back to me.I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
"Student over there, it's almost over!"
"...!! Help here!! A student has collapsed. Get to the infirmary quickly!! "
With the help of the store owner, I was able to send Kang-i straight to the infirmary.
.

It wasn't a school that wasted money on it for nothing. Kang-i could have been treated easily without having to go to the hospital.
I quietly looked at Kang-i, who was sleeping. I wiped away the cold sweat and swallowed my tears.
Look, you're hurting again. Why don't you know it's all my fault? Why do you come to me again... without even knowing how much I'm suffering...
You see, I have so much to say to you. Of course, I really, really want to apologize. But, I'm not Joohee right now, I'm Sera. Park Sera... It's not even my body, so how can we just lay down some iron and be friends? How can I... I feel so sorry whenever I see you...
"I hope you don't get sick because of me..."
.

Knock knock -
I entered the classroom. There was a strong atmosphere. Something felt off. The unusual atmosphere made me feel intimidated.
"Hey, Park Se-ra. Jeon Jung-kook and his group are looking for you."
" ...? "
"Where are you..., Park Se-ra!!"
Jeon Jungkook came running urgently with a hardened expression.
"Whew... Park Jimin."
" ...;;? "
"Park Jimin was caught"
What? What are you talking about...?
"Hurry up... Run away quickly."
"What are you saying... but, your face is a mess"
Anyone could tell it was a fresh wound. Didn't he even feel the blood flowing down his face?
"Does it matter now? Today is the day!"
That day...?
Suddenly, memories began to jumble in my head. I wondered what day it was... and then a horrifying memory surfaced.
Is this the game I knew...?
Sarah's memories were slowly coming back to me, and they were so fucking disgusting that they made me vomit.
"That's ridiculous..."
Sarah's expression became thoughtful, her hands trembled, and her pupils dilated. Very badly.
"You know it's dangerous here. I told you to run away quickly!"
"If I run away, what will happen to Park Jimin?"
" that...! "
"He'd die without me. Wouldn't it be better if I got hit too?"
Sarah pushed Jeongguk aside and ran. It was the first time. Sarah's memories had surfaced. The first memory was so horrific, almost cruel, that she couldn't remember it deeply.
This memory made me realize. Even though I said no out loud, my thoughts and my heart were always playing a separate game. I always found Park Jimin disgusting.
But that wasn't my feeling. No, not mine, but Sera's. Whenever I spoke harshly, my chest tightened. I hadn't really paid attention, but now that I remember this, I think I understand. Even though Sera said she hated Jimin, she still considered him the only family member she had.
"Damn, since when has Park Se-ra been like this? You say she's a villainess, but why is she living a life worse than the female protagonist!?"
Sera, no. Joohee's anger didn't subside easily. In this game, where everything seemed to have fallen apart, it was a place where you couldn't survive without going crazy.
If this is my punishment, I will gladly accept it.
