Rooftop Room (short story)



I am an ordinary high school student.


My name is Kim Seok-jin

I am going to school now.


(Arriving at the classroom)


Seokjin) I'm the only one in the classroom


Seokjin) I should close my eyes and go to sleep


At this moment, the door suddenly opens.


??? ) Hey.. isn't this class 1?


Seokjin) This is class 3.


??? ) Ah.. I'm sorry


Seokjin) I'm sorry...


As Seokjin closes his eyes and tries to sleep, the classroom door opens again.

??? ) Oh Ging Seok Jin!!!


Seokjin)?

( Seokjin starts to get a little annoyed from this point on )


Yeoju) What, were you trying to sleep? Go back to sleep.


And she sits next to me.

Yeoju) Hey, do you know that? There's a serial killer wandering around our neighborhood these days.

Seokjin) But why

Yeoju) Just like that ~ Just know that

Seokjin) ...


After school, the two walk across the playground.

Yeoju) Hey, let's go see the stars later

Seokjin) Yeah

The heroine laughs with a strange smile.

An hour and a half passed...

Yeo-ju calls Seok-jin and goes to the attic with him.


Seokjin) Hey, do you have anything to eat?


Yeoju) No haha


The two sit on the rooftop in silence for a while, watching the sunset and looking at the stars.

Suddenly the heroine speaks


(Yeoju) When people die, they become stars.


Seokjin) Suddenly?


Yeoju) Yeah, I just said it.

Time passed again and it became evening.

I try to look at the stars, but I can't see any stars.

Seokjin) Hey, the stars aren't coming up..?

Yeoju) That's right, the weather is bad today so I won't go out

Seokjin) You brought me here to look at the stars.

Yeoju) Honestly, is the sky today a place where you can see stars?

Seokjin) Then why did you call?

Yeoju) I'm going to kill you

Seokjin) Hey, are you a Molka? Haha

(Yeju) Isn't it?

Seokjin just remembered that the female protagonist said there was a serial killer living in their neighborhood.

If the female protagonist is a serial killer, I'm screwed right now.

The female protagonist pushes Seokjin towards the railing.

Seokjin fell off the roof

The heroine sees Seokjin fall and laughs as she runs away.

A passerby sees Seokjin on the verge of death and reports it.

The female protagonist, who saw the sight, looks at it with a look of pity.

Yeoju) What a persistent kid haha

Seokjin is taken away in an ambulance.

Seokjin's eyes are gradually closing

He regained consciousness a week after being taken to the hospital by ambulance and undergoing surgery.


The doctor says I have lost my memory.

I am recovering


I go to the school I used to go to.
