어린 임영민
Is anyone there?
?
Oh my... what a surprise. Did you come to play with me?
어린 임영민
Phew... Don't get your hopes up. It's just that there's a kid I'd like to treat.
?
Hmm... I'm not that kind of person. It might be different if I were saving someone, but healing isn't my ability.
어린 임영민
You're a god.
?
Right?
어린 임영민
Surely, a god can't even save a single human?
?
What? Phew... Hey, listen. First of all, you guys aren't even normal humans...
어린 임영민
That's why I came all the way here, you know.
?
Hey, I said no. Unless I kill them and bring them back to life, I won't... no, I can't. But if I kill them and bring them back to life, their powers will become way too weak, right?
어린 임영민
Haa... please, I beg of you... there's one more way...
?
You want me to write that? It's a 50/50 chance. If it succeeds, everything ends well for everyone, but you know better than I do what happens if it fails. And you... you want me to do that?!!
어린 임영민
Please... just this once...
?
Hey. Can you handle this? For me, it might just end with me not waking up for a few hundred years, but you, and even your siblings, could be cursed...
어린 임영민
Please...
?
Phew... Okay, but there is a condition.
어린 임영민
huh..
?
For now, whether I succeed or fail, I am cursed.
어린 임영민
ah...
?
So, I'm thinking of casting a little curse on you too. What do you think?
어린 임영민
okay..
?
Okay then, since you might break your promise, let's make a vow.
어린 임영민
Pledge..?
?
Right. If you break this promise, this oath will strangle you. That's okay, right? It's just in case, you know?
어린 임영민
Yeah, then what is the curse I'm going to receive?
?
From now on, you won't be able to love anyone other than your family, that is, your siblings.
어린 임영민
What do you mean by that...?
?
So, you will no longer be able to feel emotions related to love, such as liking, excitement, or a pounding heart.
어린 임영민
Ah... I get it. It's for the sake of my younger siblings...
?
Oh, and one more thing.
어린 임영민
What is it...
?
This conversation will stay in the minds of my younger siblings who are sick right now—the two children I have to treat. Like a memory.
어린 임영민
What..?!! Why are you asking that now..
?
It can't be helped, that's the rule, and it's already started.
어린 임영민
what..?!
Whoooooo
?
Okay, your younger siblings need to start treatment, right?
어린 임영민
yes..
?
@^~~-*-@~~*^~@@~^!?^*^!^!^!^!^!!^@@!!^@!^*~~-~!*!!!!!!!
Whoooooo- Thump-thump-thump-thump
Boom!
하늘의 신
What on earth are you doing!!! How dare you disregard the rules of heaven?!!
어린 임영민
Ah... uhhh...
어린 임영민
It's so scary...
?
O God of Heaven, it is I who have broken the rule, so please punish me..
하늘의 신
N...You... You bastard... *Gasp*... I won't let you get away with this!!!!
?
However, even someone like me who has broken the law is curious about the outcome. What is the result?
하늘의 신
A great punishment will not befall you.
어린 임영민
ah..
?
It's okay, it's a success. (Whispering)
어린 임영민
Ahhh... ah... *sob*... *sob*...
하늘의 신
Your punishment will one day fall in love.
?
What..? God doesn't have an emotion like love..
thud
?
100 million...
하늘의 신
Yes, the emotion of love does not exist in God. That is why this is your punishment. Go back immediately.
어린 임영민
Gasp... gasp... gasp
?
Did you wake up?
어린 임영민
Ah... are you okay...?
?
Of course! If you put it that way, I stole your feelings too!
어린 임영민
ah..
?
Your younger siblings are at your house, so go check it out.
어린 임영민
thank you..
Tap tap tap tap
?
Did they go...?
?
Sob sob... sob...
?
Hwaaaah... I... I... I don't want to fall in love... *sobbing*
??
...don't cry..
?
O...? N...you...what are you...!! What did you come to me for again...? Sob sob...
??
Phew... Hey, I swear on my name, I promise.
?
what..
차은우
I, Cha Eun-woo, absolutely cannot stand the sight of you falling in love. You are banned from the human world until I vanish.
?
Yeah... thank you...
차은우
what..
?
But do you know why I helped those kids, even going through all this trouble...?
차은우
why?
?
That child seemed so amazing... To think that a little kid who looked only about four years old had such a wonderful idea... How did he even think of sacrificing himself to save his younger siblings...
차은우
Again...? You know, there's more.
?
...I was curious... how that child is living now... I hope we can meet again someday... Right!! Hehe...
차은우
Yeah... we will definitely meet...
Burk
어린 임영민
...ah..
어린 임영민
The kids are sitting... not lying down... they're all better...
어린 임영민
Sob... sob...
어린 박우진
Bro!!! Are you crazy?!!!
어린 임영민
O...uh...?
어린 박우진
Why on earth did you even make a vow like that!!! What did we even say... *sobbing*... *sobbing*... H-hyung...
어린 임영민
It's okay, Woojin... It's just that I can't love...? Don't worry.
어린 박우진
H-h-no... huh... don't you know what kind of... curse that is...? C-c-I'd rather... h-h-h... my... h-h-h...
어린 임영민
Woojin, calm down! You're saying you're really okay...
Drip... drip...
어린 전웅
Are you okay, bro?!!
어린 임영민
Ah... I guess I'm a little sad... tears... sniffle...
어린 박우진
Don't cry, bro...
어린 임영민
Haha, guys, come here.
어린 임영민
Maybe being under this curse is actually a good thing... We live much longer than ordinary humans and age much slower, you know, as if time doesn't flow?
어린 임영민
Just look at me. I'm nearly 150 years old, but at most, I'm just a little kid of four or five. As for us, we face the death of the people we love... the ones we cherish... They grow old and die slowly, but we remain exactly the same. I... I don't have the courage to watch that.
어린 박우진
Sob... sob... H... Hyung... I'm never going to fall in love...
어린 임영민
Woojin-ah..
어린 김동현
me too..
어린 전웅
me too...
어린 임영민
Woong-ah... Donghyun-ah... Thank you so much...
누룽이
Hello
누룽이
Nice to meet you... I was planning to change my profile picture... but I couldn't...
누룽이
I'm sorry... Also, today was clearly supposed to be a flashback from Woojin's perspective, but I don't know why it turned into Youngmin's... Haha...
누룽이
But wasn't it okay? ((*splat*)
누룽이
*Cough* It's okay... heh...
누룽이
Well then, goodbye.
누룽이
Oh, by the way, Woojin's memory arc looks like it's going to be a bit long... but I'll try to speed things up and keep it under 10 chapters... ((*splat*)
누룽이
I will do it as soon as possible.
