"You're really going to help me, right? You're not lying, right?
You're not trying to trick me into going with you, are you?"
"What's the fuss about? Just be quiet and follow me."
"Wait, are you really trying to trick me into taking you? Really?"
"I'll help you, so follow me."
"Wow, Shinigami-san is the best! Make sure you do as you're told!!"
"Ahh... So there's a girl like this..."
"Hehe, Shinigami-san, are you talking behind my back?"
"...I'm telling you."
"Wow, I really hate Shinigami!!"
I knew I had died at age 17, and that the last thing I saw was a pretty sad sight. This had left me feeling depressed and angry at the people of the afterlife. However, I had already become quite friendly with the Grim Reaper.
"But you said you'd help me, Shinigami. How am I supposed to live? The people in the afterlife will know I'm dead."
"Reborn into a different body."
"Really? Then what happens to the original owner of that body?"
"His life has come to an end, and as he was meant to come, only his soul will come, leaving only his body behind."
"Wow... so basically it's a soul change?"
"It's not a change, your body is dead."
"...I don't know, the rules of the afterlife are really complicated and I can't understand them."
"So there's a saying that's better left unknown, brat."
"But I'm still in high school, so I can't contain my curiosity."
"...But still, high school students in the living world are really strange."
"Hehe, Shinigami-san is talking behind your back again!!"
"Yeah, I do."
"Ugh, I really hate Shinigami!!"
I already knew I'd died at 17, and that the last thing I saw was a pretty sight, so even though I was depressed and angry at the people in the afterlife, I'd become good friends with the Grim Reaper.
"But you said you'd help me, Shinigami. How am I supposed to live? The people in the afterlife will know I'm dead."
"To be reborn into another body."
"Really? Then what happens to the original owner of that body?"
"His life has come to an end, and as he was meant to come, only his soul will come, leaving only his body behind."
"Wow... so basically it's a soul change?"
"It's not a change, your body is dead."
"...I don't know, the rules of the afterlife are really complicated and I can't understand them."
"So there's a saying that's better left unknown, brat."
"But I'm in high school now, so I can't contain my curiosity."
"...High school students in the living world are really strange."
"Hehe, Shinigami-san is talking behind your back again!!"
"Yeah, I do."
"Ugh, I really hate Shinigami!!"
Finally, I arrived at a space surrounded by a white background, with only a single door through which light filtered in, making it impossible to distinguish between up and down, front and back, left and right.
"When you pass through here, your whole life will flash before your eyes like a movie film, and you'll find yourself reborn in a different body."
"...Is it really going to come back to life?"
"Yeah, you really are coming back to life. It was short but fun, kid. Live your life to the fullest."
"Shinigami-san, if I die again, we'll meet again, right? But I'd rather not meet you if possible!"
"Yeah, I don't want to see you either, so just go."
In the end, Yeo-joo and the Grim Reaper laughed and said goodbye, and Yeo-joo stood in front of the door, taking several deep breaths and looking nervous.
"Phew...Yeoju, this time you'll come back to life...a new life."
Yeo-joo then took a determined step towards the door.
"Hello, what's your name?"
"Yoju! Hey, we met again today, right?"
"Yeoju, we go to the same school, wow!!"
"Kim Yeo-joo~"
I wonder what kind of person you were to me, even though I've spent more than half of my life with you.
"Hey, Jung Yeo-joo, pull yourself together!!"
"Yeah?"
"The teacher is calling you!"
"Y-Yes!!"
"What number goes in the blank, Jung Yeo-joo?"
"It's...er...r...ec!"
"That's right, sit down."
"What were you thinking, spacing out?"
"Huh... nothing..."
Hold on a second... this body's owner's name was Jeon Yeo-joo, right?
Jeon Yeo-joo...Jeon Yeo-joo...I've heard that somewhere before...
Jeon...Yeoju...!!
I remembered... She was in the same class as me... She was the lowest in school... But she had a pretty face... Did she die? And now I'm in her body?
"That's impossible...!"
Grim Reaper... If I ever meet you again, I'll kill you...
I was always a model student and ranked first, so why was I given the lowest-ranked body? It's so harsh...
And this girl hated being compared to me...
Wait a minute, Jung Yeo-joo is in the same class as me...
"So, this problem is..."
"Do you want Soobin to come out and solve it?"
"...yes."
Is that really true? You're in the same class as Soobin.
It's really over...completely over.
