Please be nice to me_
Episode 36. Destination and Departure Stations
They remained silent, leaning against each other's arms, quietly, completely enveloped in each other's breath—and,
Until the female protagonist can no longer feel the warmth or presence of others by her side… in that position.
"Please Love Me_" _Episode 36
This is where he exists as a fairy in this world, and can only return twice: when he begins his life as a fairy, and when he is judged. So, today, here, Taehyung intends to conclude his world.
김태형
…….
Before the judgment, a brief moment was allotted. In this vast, high-ceilinged space, Taehyung gazed intently at the world outside through a large glass window.
Soon, someone was walking silently next to Taehyung.
김태현
Today is finally the day.
It was Taehyun. He stood next to Taehyung, and unlike other days, he didn't smile or show a relieved expression.
I just checked Taehyung's face once and then put my hand in my pants pocket.
김태형
That would be nice.
김태형
… From the perspective of my brother who is finally sending me off after being sick of me.
김태현
therefore.
He should definitely like it, but he doesn't? Taehyun turned his head toward Taehyung and smiled. Taehyung laughed back, telling him not to say things he didn't mean.
The smile soon cooled and the atmosphere settled. Taehyun, with difficulty, opened his mouth first.
김태현
… … I’m sorry for everything.
김태형
…….
김태현
I didn't mean to hurt you.
This is all I can remember to say. I'm sorry. I feel like I was the only one thinking about it. Taehyun, feeling awkward at this moment, just keeps licking his lips.
김태현
… … I feel like my resentment is directed at you.
김태현
That's a bit concerning.
김태형
…….
Taehyung nodded silently, as if he understood Taehyun completely. As if he knew Taehyun's feelings.
김태현
…You know, I've been through this world before you.
김태현
At that time, fairies were given the choice to reincarnate.
김태현
Of course, I chose reincarnation…
"I met someone I loved in my past life. I thought I'd be so happy, but it wasn't," Taehyun said with a complicated expression.
Taehyung lowered his head as if he was hearing about Taehyun's past for the first time and was lost in thought.
김태현
…exactly 12 days after I was reincarnated in my current form,
That person passed away in an accident. So, I have no choice but to live the rest of my life as a fairy.
"I wish you weren't like that. That's why I tried to stop you from loving someone by any means necessary. It's too late, but I'm sorry." Taehyung apologized again, but Taehyung just bit his lower lip.
As if trying not to cry.
김태형
…….
Taehyung, who didn't answer, slowly nodded and then raised his head.
김태형
Can I ask you one favor?
Yes. Whatever. Taehyun readily accepted, believing granting Taehyung's request was his last chance to ask for his forgiveness.
김태형
When I really disappear_ That is, when I disappear
김태형
… Even if it’s just my brother, please stay by Yeoju’s side.
This is my last request. I hope that Yeoju won't get hurt and will be happy.

전정국
…….
Jeongguk, who had been silently watching Taehyung step into the room, spoke first in the empty space where only the two of them were present.
전정국
How are you feeling?
김태형
……well.
전정국
Does it feel real?
김태형
… … Not really.
전정국
Do you have anything you want to say?
김태형
……not really.
Jeongguk, who felt that it would be difficult to continue the conversation, ended the conversation and cleared his throat.
I checked Taehyung's photo on the paper documents in front of me and Taehyung's face sitting in front of me, then opened my mouth again.
전정국
Let's begin, Judge.
전정국
Dear Kim Taehyung,
전정국
The total number of years I have lived as a fairy and a human is 620 years. 621 years old in Korean age.
전정국
Among them, the period of punishment as a fairy_ that is, 600 years have been fulfilled, so from today onwards, you
전정국
I would like to officially expel you from the Fairy Club.
Taehyung lowered his head, his smile filled with emptiness. His eyes held no emotion.
A sense of liberation, having finally reached the final destination after so many years? Or perhaps a lingering longing for this world I've grown attached to?
… … Not all of them. His eyes were lifeless, filled with an inexplicable emptiness and futility.
전정국
I would like to give you a choice.
전정국
…Would you like to close your eyes comfortably like this, or
전정국
Would you like to become human just like this?
Taehyung looked puzzled at Jeongguk's question, then raised his head. "I guess reincarnation is possible."
전정국
… …if you want.
김태형
… That’s a tempting suggestion.
전정국
I guess so…
Jeongguk watched Taehyung hesitate and waited quietly for his answer.
···
It was a morning I didn't want to open my eyes.
When he was here, every single day was a series of waking up early... But now that I don't have him to hug me tenderly the moment I wake up, I don't want to do that at all.
백여주
…….
I pulled the blanket from the boat up to my shoulders and covered myself. I felt a little shiver, as if I had a cold.
First of all, putting that aside… this room felt unfamiliar. It had clearly been my room until he showed up, or so it seemed.
… …I wondered if it was really this lonely.
As I continued to burrow under the covers, feeling afraid of being alone, his scent, which was thickly permeating the sheets, tickled my nose.
He leaves behind a trace like this until the end. It makes me even sadder.
백여주
…….
After about ten minutes of waking up, I sat up. I stared blankly at the empty room, and barely managed to get up.
백여주
……uh,
I touched my neck, feeling a little empty, and the necklace he had given me, which I was sure I had been wearing until yesterday, was gone.
No matter how much I tried to hang her, or how much I checked the bed, the dresser, and the floor, there was no trace of the necklace...
"It's really over now—" "It's really over." The heroine continued to mutter to herself, sitting back down on the bed. Then she turned to face out the window.
백여주
… … Is this a dream?
It was a series of dreamlike days. Every moment spent with him was happy, splendid, and precious.
If it were truly a dream, a dream I wouldn't want to wake from. A dream I wish had a happy ending.
A being who suddenly entered my life and brought me happiness. And then, a being who suddenly disappeared from me.
백여주
……miss you.
The man who left a deep and lasting impression, the man who became my last love.
I will miss you a lot today, tomorrow, and in the future.
A sad smile settled on the heroine's lips. The morning sunlight streaming through the window illuminated her.
If Taehyung had filled the room with warmth before, now the room was filled with the warmth of the warm sunlight that seemed to announce the beginning of Yeoju's new happiness.
Q. Mr. Manggaemanggae, are you crying?
A. Yes? No? I never cry. I'm not sad. ((Sniff
Yesterday and today - thank you for the 2nd and 3rd place🤍
