The two were always together. Inside the tower, only Yeonjun and Juyeon were present, and they naturally developed feelings for each other. They were family and lovers.
As time passed, Yeonjun also became a young man in his twenties. Juyeon saw Yeonjun as an adult and wanted to take him to the village and show him the world. However, she was afraid because she knew that she had died because of humans, so she couldn't do it. And she didn't want to lose Yeonjun to humans.
Then one day, someone knocked on the tower's door. It was a little boy who lived in the village. Yeonjun, who had not seen a human in a long time, treated the boy well. Then the boy gave Yeonjun a candy. Yeonjun ate the candy.
started to die
Yeonjun became increasingly ill and unconscious. Juyeon spent each day crying next to Yeonjun, praying to herself that Yeonjun would wake up, saying, "Please let me live." Yeonjun did not wake up. So Juyeon prayed to God. He prayed and prayed that Yeonjun would live forever, that he would die and that God would spare Yeonjun.
God granted her request and gave them a moment to say goodbye.
Yeonjun slowly opened his eyes and woke up, and Juyeon burst into tears upon seeing him awake. Juyeon was shedding tears of joy and sorrow. She was glad Yeonjun was awake, but the thought of never seeing him again made her cry. Tears also fell from Yeonjun's eyes as he realized the situation.
"Yeonjun, you must live a long and healthy life."
“Witch… Don’t go…”
“I love you so much, let’s meet again in the next life.”
With those words, the protagonist ended his life.
I will definitely go find you, witch. In the next life, we will be happy. I love you too, so much.
