Welcome to the Reincarnation Cafe

EP. 5 A Little True Story

아린

It's okay. I guess I was sensitive when I woke up. I'm sorry too.

지민

Then would you like to come out and have breakfast together?

아린

great!

지민

We couldn't set up a kitchen because there wasn't enough space in the accommodation. Is that inconvenient?

아린

No. I think it'll be fine since I come to the cafe every morning.

지민

Ah, then that's better (smiles)

지민

I prepared a simple sandwich for breakfast.

아린

Haha, thank you always.

지민

When you're alive, would you like to talk about it over a meal?

아린

And let's eat it, okay?

지민

You can take it slow...

아린

I'm saying this because I'm uncomfortable.

지민

yes.

아린

Well... let's start with what we were talking about before...

"The bean curd family, a common sight in novels and dramas. I finally realized it was my family's story. And that's when I started getting bullied at school. Why... I still don't know."

??

Teacher, when can we switch seats? I'd like to sit with a different partner.

담임

Now that we're on the subject, should we change it now? It's the last period and we'll be done soon anyway.

소희

Teacher, how about drawing lots?

담임

Good? Everyone come up to the front and pick a number.

담임

Did you all pull it out? Then everyone go to your seats.

아린

'I'm here..'

유리

Oh fuck, this is so disgusting. Why does it have to be Yuna Rin? Her face is disgusting.

"The kids in my class would slowly and thoughtlessly spew out violent language and actions toward me. But the teacher just dismissed it as kidding."

유진

Hey, be careful. Don't get dirty. Haha. And I'm behind him.

유리

You too, be careful.. ㅠ

아린

....

"My heart pounded like a giant bomb had hit me. My heart was pounding wildly. I found myself wondering what I had done wrong. I couldn't help but feel anxious about what the kids thought, and I couldn't do anything."

"The kids in my class slowly started ignoring me. The only time they were even noticed was when they left stolen items on my desk."

"Even when I got home, I started to feel depressed, both mentally and emotionally, because there was no one to warmly embrace me. The only thing that helped me hold on to my sanity were my friends on social media."

"But then, all of a sudden, they left, and I was truly alone. My body, mind, and spirit were exhausted, and I was starting to go crazy. I'd go around laughing like a psychopath, trying to be happy, and then the kids would quickly get serious and get angry, telling me not to ignore them."

"The thought of wanting to die dominated my mind. I felt like I had to kill someone before I left. Was it impulsive? I ended up killing my father. I must have been scared after what I'd done. I ran out into the pouring rain, barefoot, without an umbrella."

"Then, perhaps out of guilt, I felt a stronger desire to die than usual. At that moment, a large, black car, either drunk or drowsy, swerved and approached me at high speed, crashing into me. The white sedan across from me was also damaged. The accident was serious."

"Unfortunately, I survived that terrible accident. I heard there was a mother and son in the white sedan. The son died. I wish it had been me. There's no point in living."

"I ended up going back to school, and while I was gone, the performance evaluations were being conducted in groups. The first thing I heard when I joined the group assigned by the teacher still shocks me."

소희

Oh fuck, why are there 4 people in our group?

??

Why? There are children too. Aren't there five of them?

유진

Oh lol it's so funny lol

유리

Hey, is Yuna Rin human?

??

No. You have to look like a person to be human. This guy is a monster.

유진

Wow- it's been a while since I've said something right lol

아린

...

"It wasn't until then that the teacher realized I was being bullied, though not severely. I think the teacher called the parents of the kids who had been bullying me that evening. He kicked me as soon as I got to school that morning."

"At that moment, my mind went blank. The kids didn't care and kept hitting me. If I fell, they'd pick me up, if I fell, they'd pick me up, and repeat the cycle until finally the construction worker caught me. Fearing the kids' retaliation the next day, I jumped off the platform that day. That was the end of my life."

아린

This is the story of my life. I was neither happy nor unhappy.

지민

It must have been very difficult for you... But you said you killed your father earlier, right?

아린

Yes.. I really regret it, but I can't change it..

지민

How old was your father at that time?

아린

49? 50? It was around that level.

지민

So, since he died with about 5 or 6 years left to live, this lifespan will be added to his father's lifespan when he is reincarnated next. To do that, Arin has to work here for about 10 years. She becomes the owner of this place.

아린

Then I'll work! But what crime did you commit to be working here?

지민

You don't have to go into too much detail. Just know that you've committed a great sin.

My soul is torn apart..

(I will serialize it if there is at least one comment!)
