It was an ordinary day.
I go to school with my friend Dayoung,
They came into the classroom, sat down at their desks, and continued chatting.
What's special about it?
Just... that I was born?
"Mother... Do you really have to go this far?"
"Then what do you want me to do? Didn't you see it with your own two eyes? Your father was destroyed by humans?"
"..Yes, I saw it, but no matter what, we can't just wipe out humans..!"
"My son, shut your mouth and go quickly and get rid of the birth."
"Then I will personally grant my son's wish."
"..Is it true? If you eliminate birth, I will live as a human without this tedious death!"
"Do whatever you want."
"Ha... I'll be back, Mother."
"Dayoung, doesn't it feel a little creepy?"
"What? I can't feel it? Maybe I'm just sensitive."
Is that so..? I just let it go.
That wouldn't have happened...
really
"Okay, everyone, be quiet. We have a transfer student today."
"Come in"
"Hello, my name is Kim Taehyung."
"..?"
"Oh my, he's really handsome."
"..? Hey? What's wrong with you? Kang Soo-hyun!!"
"..Ugh..Dayoung, I feel a little uneasy."
"Please go to the infirmary..."
I ran away as if I was jumping out of the water.
I just had a dangerous feeling that I shouldn't touch that kid.
"Are you really stressed? Get some rest. Go to the bed over there."
"Yes.. thank you"
I lay down on the soft bed and closed my eyes for a moment.
Then, after a few minutes, a familiar voice was heard.
"Hmm... Are you in a lot of pain? Are you sleeping? Is this how you're supposed to be? You look really weak."
"Uh, what is it?"
"Huh? I'm awake."
"..? Ugh, eww!!"
"Shhh! There are other people here too."
"Ah... yeah..."
"You were born, right?"
"Kang.. Su-hyeon.."
The guy named Kim Taehyung muttered as if he was repeating something to himself after seeing my name tag.
"What? How do you know that?"
"I came to destroy you. For if there is birth, there must also be death! Therefore, I am death."
"what..?"
"Just get rid of you, and this world will be filled with a new humanity, a new birth."
"What...what are you saying?"
I was so confused by the sudden influx of information.
Kim Taehyung, who was talking nonsense, suddenly stopped talking for a moment and stared at me.
"But, it's too pretty to kill."
"Wh,what..!"
Phew... After taking a moment to catch my breath, I finally opened my mouth.
"Look, I have no intention of dying."
"I'm a new human, I'm a new birth, I'm a new person, I'll just live an ordinary life, okay?"
"Oh, and you're quite handsome, for a deathly man."
"Then let's not go first."
Only after I ran out of that place was I able to sigh and feel relieved.
"Ugh... I was shaking... sigh"
"..ha, this is ridiculous"
