The unforgettable last kiss
w. Soldier Siyoon
"Hey, get lost," "Why are you even alive?",
"You idiot, lol."
That's right, I'm an outcast. I'm being punished for my past life.
My punishment is living as an outcast in a desperately poor family, under a father who abuses me domestically.
But an even more painful punishment...
I'm born with memories of my past life,
living with a sense of guilt.
And when I meet Taehyung,
I can't apologize, and the moment I meet him,
my memories of my past life are erased, and I live with a sense of questionable guilt.
"Hey, you idiot, focus on the present, you idiot."
"S-sorry..."
"H-hey, what are you doing? Step on me."
Zarathustra spoke.
None of what you said exists.
There's no devil, no hell. Your soul
will die sooner than your body.
Zarathustra was wrong.
There are demons and hell.
Me and those who torment me, one of us is a demon. And this place where we coexist, me and them, is hell.
Moreover, the mind will rot and decay before the soul,
and the body will die along with the mind,
and without the body, the soul will naturally disappear.
Zarathustra, Nietzsche was wrong.

[Taehyung's POV]
"I heard Yeoju is 18 this year?"
"Yes, that's right. You must be very beautiful."
Pfft, you traitor.
He curses inwardly. Oh, of course, only inwardly.
After I died, I became the heir to hell.
And when the previous king died, he made me king.
As punishment for Yeoju killing me and then committing suicide,
he was born into a poor family with a father who was abusive and drunk,
and a mother who ran away after cheating on her.
He was bullied at school.
Of course, the moment he met me,
he lost his memories of his past life.
"Well, let's go. Let's go to the human world to see Yeoju."

[Yeoju's Point of View]
When the bell rang, they returned to their seats.
I returned to my seat too. The teacher entered the classroom.
A kid was standing next to me. It was Taehyung.
"Taehyung..."
At that moment, my memory faded.
"What was that bully saying just now, lol?"
The kid next to me, the leader of the bullying, spoke.
"S... sorry if I was loud... I was wrong..."
"If you knew, you were upset lol."
"Okay, okay..."
Today, too, I just kept apologizing and shaking for no reason.
"Quiet!"
The teacher restrained himself.
"I'm Kim Taehyung, here to find my bride."
Why... why... Why does my heart ache and guilt fill me with guilt whenever I look at that kid...?
Is it because of the years of bullying...?

After class,
I go home, into the devil's den.
My dad drinks and beats me.
They say it's domestic violence, and my mom runs away.
Suffering from the violence, unable to bear the pain,
"Get me some alcohol. You bitch!!!"
The devil speaks.
"I... I don't have any money..."
"Then earn some money. Do what you're good at.
Even if it means selling your body to earn some money!!"
"No! Get out of here!"
Even if I become completely alone,
I don't want to live like this anymore.
Where did the courage to do what I did come from?
Please give me a handshake.
If there is at least one comment, the next episode will be released.
I will serialize it.
