My name is Kim Yeo-ju. I am a 17-year-old female student who is being bullied and ostracized at school.
"Hey, Kim Yeo-ju!"
"..."
"What the hell are you chewing on?"
"I gave it to you a little lately, and now it's crawling back up again?"
Sigh... I don't want to live

(That evening)
After the party, I went up to the school rooftop.
For me, who had no school, no home, no place to breathe, the rooftop was a paradise on earth.
"Ha...it's refreshing haha"
A while ago, my parents divorced due to my father's affair, and my mother left home, claiming she couldn't afford to raise me. Or, to be more precise, she ran away.
I don't know who spread the rumor, but at school I was already labeled a "parentless girl," and as such, I was easy prey for the kids.
"Hey, Kim Yeo-ju!"
"..."
"What the hell are you chewing on?"
"Oh no, sorry.."
"I gave it to you a little lately, and now it's crawling back up again?"

After the party, I went up to the school rooftop.
For me, who had no school, no home, no place to breathe, the rooftop was a paradise on earth.
"Ha...it's refreshing haha"
A while ago, my parents divorced due to my father's affair, and my mother left home, claiming she couldn't afford to raise me. Or, to be more precise, she ran away.
I don't know who spread the rumor, but at school I was already labeled a "parentless girl," and as such, I was easy prey for the kids.
The high school I attend now is right next to the middle school I used to attend. Looking down from the rooftop, I can see the path leading to the middle school. Every time I look at that path, I think back to a few years ago, when I walked to middle school for the first time, hand in hand with my dad.
A bully at school, a loner at home with no one to care for him.
Without family or friends, I had no purpose in life.
"Should I just jump?"
As soon as I put one foot on the railing, muttering unconsciously, I felt someone urgently call out to me and grab my wrist.
"who is this.."
"You'll know when you look back."
Ah... I can tell just by hearing your voice.
You're a naturally talented guy, and you'll be my partner.
"..let go"
"I don't like it."
Fuck... I told you to let go, so why aren't you letting go?
"Hey, don't you know how I feel?"
"what?"
"You're handsome, you're a good student, you're from a wealthy family, you lack nothing. Do you understand my situation, my feelings?"
"Okay, so calm down for now."
"What are you trying to calm me down for? Who are you to calm me down?"
"Oh, and you need to fix that personality."
"What's my personality like?"
"I don't know if he just doesn't respond when other people talk and just acts confident, but he's not a brat."
"I?"
"Yes, you, over there."
"You must be so lucky to be so talented. Even if you treat them rudely, people will naturally stick with you. Some people make fun of you, but you must be so lucky to live comfortably."
"Hey, I understand, so first, get off that railing."
"You don't like it? What does it matter to you whether I die or not?"
"I'm sorry, but Ssagagi isn't here right now, and I don't care if you die, so come down quickly."
"no"
"I have nowhere to go anyway."
"I'm behind on my rent, so I'm going to have to vacate my room."
"Oh...then you come to my house."
"Why am I in your house?"
"We have plenty of spare room in our house, so come live with us... So come down quickly."
(Sigh)
Ah... I'm not such a shameless woman... I foolishly fell for the offer to let me live at your house.
"Okay... let's go."
"Where?"
"Come to your house, pack your bags."
"Oh, you want me to come over to your house today?"
"Yeah, why don't you like it?"
"No, that's not it..."
"ㅋㅋㅋㅋIs this what it means to be stubborn but have no pride?"
"Shut up."
"You seem to be even more of a swindler than I am."
"Yeah, get out."
"If I leave, how are you going to find my house?"
"...I see. Sorry. Please take the lead."
Ha... It looks like I'm going to be living off of this guy, so I'll just kill my fucking personality and try to accommodate him.

The Story Behind the Twins' Constellations
It has already been 15 years since the female protagonist died in place of her thirteenth child.
Nothing has changed in that long time.
Ah, if there's one thing, it's that Minhyun started to care about the kids.
There was only one.
The children who couldn't even control their bodies when Yeoju died are now 15 years old, sometimes as cheerful as any other boy their age, sometimes as dignified.
Ji-hoon, who was the subject of the prophecy, heard the story of his mother from Min-hyun and visited her grave every day.
Woojin: "Are you going today too?"
Jihoon: "Yeah."
Woojin: "Let's go together."
Jihoon "What happened to you?"
Woojin: "I just... have something I want to say to you, Mom."
Jihoon: "...Okay, then."

Woojin: "I just... have something I want to say to you, Mom."
Jihoon: "...Okay, then."
Woojin, who had heard the story of Yeoju with Jihoon, initially resented Jihoon for telling her that his mother had died because of him.
To be honest, at that time, I thought, why didn't she just kill her own brother, Ji-hoon? Why did she step forward like a mother dog?
After hearing from Min-hyun that Yeo-ju had wished for him and Ji-hoon to be together in everything while he was alive, he tried to let go of his ill feelings towards Ji-hoon.
//
Jihoon: "Mom, I'm here..."
Jihoon: "Oh, Woojin came with us today too."
Woojin: "...Mother"
Woojin: "I miss you."
Woojin: "At first... I really hated and disliked Jihoon."
Woojin: "But... as my mother said, we were born with a single destiny, so I will live my life thinking that this is also our destiny."
Ji-hoon: "I'm sorry... I say this every day, but... I couldn't apologize enough for a hundred years for giving up your mother's life because of me."
After Ji-hoon finished speaking, silence fell for a moment.
//
After some time, someone broke the silence and spoke. And it was Woojin.
Woojin: "Let's go now..."
Jihoon: "Yeah..."
Woojin: "Oh, and from tomorrow onwards, don't come here and apologize."
Jihoon: "What are you talking about?"
Woojin: "No, it's okay that you came here, but from now on, don't apologize to your mother."
Jihoon "Why.."
Woojin: "Your mother would be heartbroken if she saw you apologizing to her here every day."
Jihoon: "But..."
Woojin: "I know you feel guilty... but I think your mother would hate it more if you lived your whole life feeling guilty."
Jihoon: "Okay."
No one knows if these children will grow up to live proper lives, the lives the heroine longs for, but so far, I think they've grown up quite well.
Although neither of them remembers their mother, she will always live in their hearts, and I hope they can live their lives knowing that she is always watching over them.
