Who the hell came up with such nonsense? If you want to die, you live, and if you want to live, you die. This world has become so obsessed with ambition that it has fallen into chaos. Someone even called it the “end of the world.” In this end of the world, all we can do is wait helplessly to die? Why is it still like this after three years, the end? Is there still more to come for the world to fall apart? I laughed in vain and stuck my middle finger out to the heavens to show them how fucked up the world is. Even the gods should know how miserable this world has become. They should know so they can fix it and create a perfect, complete life.
“There’s no way God would be looking at someone like me.”
Saying my thoughts out loud like this made the reality sink in even deeper. Before me now was nothing more than a shabby wooden plank, not even a house. It was all I had. My parents, unable to contain their overflowing ambition and ambition, started a war to subdue and oppress others. Seeing this, I tried to join the war, only to be killed in my sleep by someone else harboring yet another vain ambition. I was reading it like any other novel. But I couldn't react. From the moment I was born, I was a person so emotionless that I wouldn't bleed even if you stabbed me. Others might have labeled me a witch. So why should I even think about living in this world?
“I haven’t seen Taehyung lately, Taehyung-.”
It's all Kim Taehyung's fault. Everything. No matter how much I wanted to die, he kept reviving me over and over again. We even swore that we wouldn't die from exhaustion anymore. But if I really looked miserable and having a hard time, then we promised to let me go. We were precious to each other, so I couldn't ignore someone who was having a hard time and continue to cherish them. But lately, I haven't seen Kim Taehyung. He started disappearing continuously for the past three days, and this coincides with the time when a meteor fell. You might wonder why I'm suddenly bringing up a meteor, but in order to understand why Taehyung disappeared, you need to know about meteors.
What is a meteor? The dictionary definition is a small object that enters the Earth's atmosphere, glowing and falling. A synonym is shooting star. But three days ago, on that day, the meteor that fell in Seoul, the center of South Korea, wasn't just any ordinary shooting star. It might sound strange, but what I saw that day was definitely a flying object, like a UFO.
I will definitely find out. I will find the identity of the flying object, and I will find Taehyung, who is like my precious little brother.

“No, bro, does it make sense that you set the destination wrong in the first place?”
“We were going to Delis, weren’t we? Why are we suddenly going to Seoul on the Island of the Gods?”
“My brother is old now, and what is the point of arriving in this small piece of land?”
Yoongi glared at Namjoon and said, "Do you think that giving a wrong destination explanation is a valid excuse?" Seokjin had a curious look on his face, asking, "Why Seoul?" and Jimin seemed to be making fun of Namjoon, saying that it's because his older brother is old.
Arriving in Seoul, a place called hell rather than the island of gods and a resting place called Delis, well, everyone must be bewildered. But who thought I wasn't like that! Namjoon grumbled to Hoseok, who was sitting next to him, and asked him to look after his younger siblings while he went outside for a moment before leaving right away. In a way, it was like irresponsibly passing the buck to his younger sibling.
“Wow, is it okay for you to do that?”
Hoseok, confused by the fact that he had been given full responsibility, quickly began to explain to his younger siblings, who were blaming Namjoon next to them. Originally, the island of the gods was not in Rome, but here in Seoul. But my younger siblings, the gods of this era, would never know how harsh and dangerous a place Seoul was.
“Oh, right. And what about you, siblings? I didn’t mean to cause trouble...”
“......”
Yeah, it's understandable. Did he set the wrong destination to Seoul? Couldn't bear the silence, Namjoon brought a human woman with him. Whatever the reason, he needed to come up with a definitive truth that was justified and appropriate. While everyone else was thinking that, Jungkook was wishing time would slow down. It wasn't just love at first sight; it seemed like she'd come looking for him. She was a woman who seemed to talk too much, even though he brought her in his arms.
“Are you the fucking gods?”
“...There is nothing I cannot say to God.”
It was an unforgettable first meeting for both of us.
