Trapped in a maze of choices

Episode 4 | A World Without You

* Today's episode is from the current female protagonist's point of view. *
(The episodes so far have been flashbacks to my school days.)

Ah... It's that dream again. The dream of that day I never want to remember again.
The fact that it's time to dream this dream means that today is the day.
My boyfriend, Jimin's anniversary is coming up soon.




Jimin died. Five years ago, during the brilliant winter break of his 19th year.
On a very cold day, Jimin tried to save me and lost his life.
Left.



At first I was sad, then I missed it, and now I regret it.



I should've done better. I should've expressed myself more. I've never really expressed myself properly since we became girlfriends. If only I could go back in time, I would've saved you.

Ah... I dozed off for a bit. But why is it so bright outside? I turned on my phone and the date was set to 5 years ago.

"What? Is there an error?"



When I went outside, the world had returned to how it was five years ago.
The park where I played with Jimin, the playground in front of the house where I had my first kiss...
It's all been redeveloped now so it doesn't exist anymore.



"Did I go back to the past like Jimin..?"



I ran to school without thinking. I ran without even noticing that my feet were bleeding.
I missed you. I missed you so much I could die.




'Please... please...'



It has to be in this alley. It has to be. This is our
Because I was on my way to the hideout. You always came here after school.



"Huh? Yeoju!"



It's Jimin. It's the real Jimin.




"You said you weren't coming to school today because you were sick..! Are you feeling better?"

I ran over and hugged Jimin.



"I missed you... This time, I'll save you."

Jimin... died trying to stop me from committing suicide.



'So, if I don't kill myself, Jimin can live.'



I will protect you no matter what happens. A world without you
Because it was no different from hell.




Live, Jimin
