17th birthday
Prologue๐


Kwon Soon-young and I are now...

Has it been 103 years?

We've been friends for 103 years

How did it become 103 years?

We've been friends since the Joseon Dynasty

I was the first person born into the world during the Joseon Dynasty.

Kwon Soon-young too

But there's something strange about us...

Even though I've been reincarnated many times, I still remember my past lives.

And when we are reincarnated, we will definitely meet again

What's even stranger is that I only lived until I was 17.

Even if we both reincarnate, we'll both die at 17.

You've never been an adult before

Anyway, the first day I died

It was around the time of Japanese colonial rule in the Joseon Dynasty.

We were both 17 years old.

์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Kwon Soon-young!

We were childhood friends who had been close since we were little.


๊ถ์์
Why are you calling?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
We'll be adults in just 3 years?


๊ถ์์
So what do you want?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
I feel suffocated because I'm just staying at home


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Let's go for a walk, okay? Please...


๊ถ์์
No, our country is going to ruin right now. Where are you going?


๊ถ์์
Don't you know there are soldiers outside?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Huh? Please...


๊ถ์์
Ha.. Okay, you're just going out for 5 minutes?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
huh!


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Hey! Sunyoung, there's someone over there (looking through the crack in the door)


๊ถ์์
Who is it?


๊ถ์์
!


๊ถ์์
Hey, don't look


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
huh?


๊ถ์์
He's a soldier

ํ์ํ์ญ
Hey, who's that?


๊ถ์์
Stay still and don't make a sound. (covers the female protagonist's mouth)

Then a bullet flew through the crack in the door.

We both died that day.

After that, I kept reincarnating

Still dying at the age of 17

like that

I've come this far


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
How do you feel about entering high school?


๊ถ์์
I'm 17, so I wonder how I'll die this time.


๊ถ์์
Car accident? Murder?


๊ถ์์
Or maybe you don't want to reincarnate anymore?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
If I were to be reincarnated, I would like to be reincarnated as an American.


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
I've tried Japan, China, and England, but I've never been as good as Americans.


๊ถ์์
Not really, it's inconvenient living as a foreigner


๊ถ์์
Personally, I felt most comfortable in Korea.


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Is it our 103rd year?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Dying together and being reincarnated together for 103 years...


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Seriously, at this point, they're more like family than family.


๊ถ์์
If your family changes 103 times, will your family still be your family?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Yeah, that's true.. haha


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
What class are you in?


๊ถ์์
I'm in class 5


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Oh, I'm in class 2


๊ถ์์
Finally, half of it is gone


๊ถ์์
nice


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Tch..is it good? Is it good?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
I'm going first


๊ถ์์
Hey, are you mad? Hey, let's go together!

์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Oh my, is it because I went to a British school in my last life?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
I still can't get used to Korean school.

ํ์ํ์ญ
Hi? Why are you here alone?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Ah, I don't have any friends haha

ํ์ํ์ญ
Really? Then come play with me.

ํ์ํ์ญ
Do you like books?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
huh!

ํ์ํ์ญ
Oh, thank goodness~


ํ์ํ์ญ
Then here's a gift! (Hands over a book)


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Hey! What? Why are you giving this to me?

ํ์ํ์ญ
Hmm.. I think you might need this, so definitely read it!

ํ์ํ์ญ
It's fun haha


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Ah..yeah, thank you


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
(Why is the title 17th birthday? It stings me for no reason.. haha)


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Still, should I read it once?

I'm actually a huge bookworm.

But as I read this, I kept getting immersed in it

Can't stop reading?

So I didn't attend class and just kept reading books.

When I was reading about the last page

Kook...thud...thud

์ ์๋
What does this mean..?

ํ์ํ์ญ
I don't know

I was so engrossed in the book that I couldn't hear anything.

Kung..Kwakwakwang!

ํ์ํ์ญ
Teacher.!! There's a ceiling above the female lead.

์ ์๋
Oh..Hey heroine!! Get out of here quickly! (loudly)


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Yes? (Surprised)


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
(Look up)

The ceiling was breaking and falling on me.


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Ah... this is how I'm going to die this time

bang!

์ ์๋
Heroine.!!!!..ใ ..Hurry up and call 119!

ํ์ํ์ญ
There were rumors that the ceiling was poorly constructed, and it was true... goosebumps

ํ์ํ์ญ
If I were sitting there, I would have fallen as soon as I entered the school...

It felt like I woke up after a long sleep.


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Huh..what? Am I not dead? Why am I still at school?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
But...the classroom is a bit different...yeah


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Is it reincarnation?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
But if it's reincarnation, why isn't he a baby and still 17 years old?


์ด์งํ
Why are you looking around so twice?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
huh?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
(My partner was definitely a girl...)


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Unless you're reincarnated...


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
(But why does that guy look so familiar?)


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
You...what is your name?


์ด์งํ
Lee Ji-hoon, I asked you earlier and you told me.


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Easy..easy..Lee Ji-hoon..


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Miss... When I think of Lee Ji-hoon, bad memories come to mind.


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
I didn't get to see the ending of the book I was reading before I died...!


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Huh? The book you were reading?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Lee Ji-hoon?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Lee Ji-hoon! You look exactly like the character in the book!


์ด์งํ
?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Then maybe I'm not in a book...?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
No way... No way... That can't be happening haha


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Then where is Kwon Soon-young?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
You always died with me!


์ด์งํ
Hey...hey, are you okay? Did you bring your book?


์ด์งํ
Didn't you take out any textbooks from the desk?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Oh right, a book!


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
When I died earlier, I was hugging a book.


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Then obviously the book...



์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Found it! It's in my school bag.


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Let's see... the characters...


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
A character that wasn't there before has been added...

์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Oh my... I looked around everywhere... but it's not there


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
This library is the last one...


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
The library is so big, I thought it was a museum...

Then I stopped when I heard a familiar voice.

At the end of the sound, as expected, stood Kwon Soon-young.

But Chaewon, the heroine of this book, was standing next to me.


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
My name is Yeojun too...


๊น์ฑ์

๊ถ์์
Okay


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
I want to talk to you


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
What if Kwon Soon-young doesn't remember me?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Should I laugh at you for talking about a supporting role?


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
Or what if the person in front of me isn't Kwon Soon-young?


๊ถ์์
Oh! You're Choi Yeo-ju, right? I knew you'd be in a book too.


๊ถ์์
Thank goodness I would have been scared if I had come in alone


๊น์ฑ์
Kwon Soon-young, who is this? Do you know her? It's my first time seeing her (putting her arm around her shoulder)


์ต์ฌ์ฃผ
(How come you two look closer than I did when I was 103 years old.. haha)
