4510

Short story. 4510

000

4,510 days... My fate was set for me from a young age. I was supposed to live for 4,510 days, starting when I turned nine. Now, 13 years later, I'm 23. There are only 10 days left until the 4,510th day.

"Hey 00~"

000

"Why did you come?"

"I came because I missed you~"

000

The reason I die on the 4510th day is because I made a deal with God. Sehun had an accident that day, and he was taken to the hospital, but the doctors couldn't save him. So I asked God to take my life in exchange for Sehun's.

000

That god said 4510, and at the same time, he said I would die after 4510 days. Instead of taking my life, Sehun's memory would only last 4510 days. After 4510 days, only my memories would disappear. The memories of the dead are completely erased.

000

I accepted it as something that was inevitable, even though it was sad, because it was my fate.

000

Sehun still doesn't know that after 4510 days, he will die and his memories will disappear.

000

"Sehun, should I tell you a secret?"

"What is it?"

000

"I'm going to die in 10 days?"

오세훈

"... what?..."

000

"And you won't remember me the day I die?"

오세훈

"Okay, are you kidding me~?"

000

"^^ So when I disappear, you won't have to worry^^"

000

Yeah, that's enough. Living happily without remembering me... That's all I need...

"Okay~ Time to sleep now~~ Stop fooling around and go to sleep~"

000

"Yeah^^"

000

I'm so glad you're taking this as a joke, because I don't want to have to see you cry until I die...

After that, 10 days passed.

Knock knock knock knock - I received a call saying 00 had lost consciousness and rushed to the hospital. I went to the room where 00 was.

"00..."

In front of 00's hospital room, I could see 00 and the doctor through the transparent window.

"Please save 00, I beg you...."

The voice of the god of heaven was heard.

"I brought you here after 4510 days as promised. Do you have any regrets?"

000

"Yes, it's okay since Sehun is alive."

"Can you hear me? This sound?"

000

"yes?"

000

The next sound heard after the god's words was a voice saying, "Please save me."

"The owner of this voice is Sehun. He's begging for you to be saved now that you're dead."

000

“Anyway, once today passes, won’t the memories disappear?”

"That's right, after midnight today, you won't remember me, and you won't remember the people who died around you."

000

"I don't care as long as that child survives. Can't I just go down and see until Sehun loses his memories?"

"You can't go down, but you can see through this crystal ball."

When God pointed to the crystal ball, Sehun appeared inside the ball.

"Ku ...

I want to see you again... You kept telling me 10 days ago that you'd die in 10 days, and I regret taking it as a joke... I just want to go back to that day... I want to go back to that day and see your face more and talk more...

오세훈 image

오세훈

"If what I said that day is true... the day 00 dies, I will lose my memories of 00..."

오세훈 image

오세훈

So if I lose my memories like this, I won't have to suffer like this?... If I lose 00's memories, what about the memories we had together??... Will they all fly away?...... I'd rather die than have that happen, I'll die before I lose my memories.

3 minutes before 12 o'clock.

You must die within 3 minutes.

I ran for a while from 00's hospital room and came up to the rooftop.

"00, I've lost my memory, and I'm so scared of living in a world without you. How can I live happily when you, whom I've loved for so long, aren't living in the same place under the same sky? I'll go see you now, 00..."

I'm scared of a world without loved ones...

12 o'clock.

"Huh? Where is this?"

I looked under the ground.

"Ah! Where am I.. Oh.. Rooftop? What the? I'm definitely at work.. We're in big trouble!! What time is it now? 12:03??! It's over nowㅠㅠ"

"Thank goodness... Sehun lost his memories like before... He definitely tried to die after you... But time saved him."

000

"I know too^^ Thank you, Sehun. Forget me and live well^^"
