Taehyung's head has been hurting more and more as things have been swirling around lately.
The sky suggested a short outing, and I ended up getting ready and heading outside.
When I came outside, the air was unusually stuffy.
Taehyung took another deep breath as Yeonhwa passed the main gate.
The air in the human world was always strange. It felt both heavy and light.
“…Mr. Sky.”
"yes?"
“Hey… if I seem a little absent-minded today…”
“.... Um, you’re already dazed haha”
"…ah."
The sky chuckled.
“Haha, it’s okay. I don’t have any plans to go out today, I just said let’s go out and get some fresh air~”
Taehyung nodded.
In fact, he didn't know the exact reason either.
It's just... I've been feeling uneasy since yesterday.
'Why am I here?
'Why did I come down to the human world...'
I knew I was an angel.
In the divine realm, he had wings, divine powers, and lived in the heavenly world of Festa...
But then it was empty.
'Why...? There must be a reason why he was sent down to the human world...'
"I wonder what you're thinking~?"
"Oh... that's..."
"Didn't you hear me earlier? I think it would be good for you to get some rest today~... Hehe
First, let's go to that park over there and take a walk to catch our breath!"
"Haha, good.."
"Huh? The traffic light's going to turn off soon, run!"
"Uh...oh yeah...!!"
“.......... GASP!!!!!!! Taehyung, the guy in front of me.....”
Before he could even finish speaking,
An ear-splitting sound split the road.
Paang ____________!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Squeak—!!
The sound of tires scraping on the asphalt and people's short screams filled my ears.
Taehyung raised his head reflexively.
I saw a black vehicle approaching in front of me and it was going very fast.
“…ㅇ,,, dangerous…!”
The moment I try to grab the arm of heaven,
The world has slowed down.
.
.
.
No, it stopped.
In the middle of Taehyung's field of vision, a red eye flashed.
'Can you see me?'
Someone's voice rang out.
Low, familiar,,,,
"…seokjin kim"
The moment Taehyung quietly blurted out that name,
The car braked suddenly.
The car body skidded and changed direction,
Taehyung and Haneul fell towards India.
thud!!!
“Huh…gasp…oh my…! T…Taehyung!!!!!!…Are you okay?!”
“Yes, yes… I..”
Taehyung couldn't answer.
"Huh...huh....."
My head felt like it was going to explode.
Kasen's voice rang out from the sky and the stairs of light at Festa.
'The next new candidate, Kim Tae-hyung'
The voices of angels chattering and the traces of a demon with folded red wings among them.
'Survive in the human world for a year.
....there, you will lose everything.'
“Ugh…!”
Taehyung grabbed his head.
A voice keeps ringing from somewhere,
and...
Seokjin's appearance was visible.
Kim Seok-jin, the 5000-year-old demon who was mentioned as a candidate like me
“Taehyung?!”
The voice of heaven sounded distant.
Only then did I remember why I had come down to the human world.
To prove one's divine qualities, to understand human life...
"…ha ha ha..."
A short laugh escaped Taehyung's lips.
“…Now…”
Suddenly-
There was a sound of a car door opening.
The man who got out of the driver's seat was Seokjin, with a familiar smile.
“What a shame~”
“If only I had gone a little further, I could have sent you off properly.”
Taehyung slowly raised his head.
“…It was you.”
“Oh!! I see your memory has returned?”
Seokjin shrugged.
"I didn't mean to make a big deal out of it. The human world has tricky rules, you know? It just happened to turn out this way, lol."
"…why."
Taehyung's eyes wavered.
“Why are you doing this to me...?”
Seokjin looked at Taehyung for a moment and then said.
“I think you’ll realize it too quickly.”
"…what?"
"I just wanted to show you how cruel God's tests can be. That's all, lol."
He turned around and added.
"Congratulations on your memory recovery. Now, the real beginning."
Seokjin disappeared like that.
After a while,
In the car returning to Yeonhwa-ro
The sky glanced at Taehyung and hesitated several times whether to open its mouth or not.
Despite seeing the shocking sight, Taehyung and the suspicious man didn't even blink an eye.
After continuing the conversation, they dispersed as if nothing had happened.
Sky was internally contemplating whether or not he should report this to the chairman.
“…Taehyung.”
"…yes."
“What happened earlier… Um… I…
“Can I hear an explanation?”
Taehyung looked out the window and slowly turned his head.
“…I, actually—”
He stopped talking.
I haven't quite figured out how much I should say yet.
“…I remember a little bit.”
“…Really?!!!”
“Yes... That person was the one who had been harassing me from the beginning.”
"Huh..!@@ Then..."
"But I was worried that Grandma would worry, so I just left it like this.
I'll organize everything and explain it later."
The sky didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.
“Then… that’s fortunate.”
"…why?"
“I found my memories..!! It’s better to know than to wander around without knowing why you lost them.”
Taehyung's heart felt strangely tight at those words.
“…Mr. Sky.”
"yes?"
"…thank you."
“Suddenly?”
“I think I now have a little idea what I should do in the human world.”
“… Human world..?? Hahaha you’re talking weird again haha what is it?”
Taehyung thought for a moment.
God's test is to live as a human.
It's not about power, but about being wise in the moment of choice.
“…As a human being, I want to live well.”
The sky looked at Taehyung for a moment and then said.
“…That suits me well, hehe.”
"…yes?"
“I’m also practicing living well as a human being!!!!!!”
Taehyung laughed.
That smile, for the first time since I lost my memory...
It felt a little bit real.
And at that moment, Taehyung realized.
To conduct the divine test,
What we must do in the human world is...
Living this life without running away.
and..
The beings of heaven,
That it is such an important variable in the test.
