EP. 8 Peace Returns - Welcome to the Reincarnation Cafe

지민

(talking to himself) Hey, it's probably just a bit similar. No, it's not.

정국

Hey, what are you doing alone?

지민

Huh? What's wrong with you?

정국

I brought Arin, who was said to be a pain in the neck.

아린

What are you looking at?

지민

I'll take you in first.

정국

Yes, thank you for your hard work.

유진

Is that guy still going around bewitching men?!

지민

Arin, Arin? Are you awake now?

아린

I'm still awake. I still have a lot to pay back.

지민

Arin, do you remember what you said to me before?

아린

(Brushing the hair off his face) What do you mean?

지민

Arin, you told me you wanted to be born into a happier and more prosperous family in your next life. (Holding Arin's hands) If you keep going like this, Arin, your dream won't come true. Please come to your senses.

아린

I never promised you anything like that, and I'm going to get revenge on my mother's enemies.

After Arin finished speaking, she quickly ran away, and Jimin ran to catch her.

지민

(Grabbing Arin's wrist) Arin, it's time you remembered. Do you really not remember?

아린

(Striking Jimin's hand away) Let go of this-!! And you've been saying promises, promises since earlier, but what promises are you talking about? Do you remember even if it's from a past life?!

지민

(Laughing in disbelief) Arin, you really are a bad person.

아린

Yes, I was like that. So, I'll take care of my reincarnation.

유진

Hey, Yuna Rin

아린

Oh, what else-!!

유진

Haha no-, I was passing by and you looked so funny that I called you out.

아린

Just turn it off. Don't make people go crazy.

유진

You don't like that?

아린

Why, what else is there left to take from me?

유진

Haha, yeah, there's still a lot left. Ah, a lot.

지민

(Pushing Eugene away) Eugene, don't be a fuss and go on your way.

아린

Why are you meddling again, you?

지민

Because there's something I really want to hear from you, Arin.

유진

Am I missing?

아린

No, stand still. Let's see who's better.

유진

(Mumbling) When are you going to say go? lol

지민

If it's too much of a burden, Arin, should we move to a different location?

아린

Why, are you going to the cafe again? Is that so?

지민

You might feel dizzy for a moment, Arin.

Jimin lightly snapped his fingers as if casting a spell.

유진

What are you doing?

지민

I'm watching Arin's past life. Would you like to watch it with me?

유진

Well, is that so?

아린

(whispering behind the wall) Jimin! Are you all asleep now?

지민

(small) Yeah, I think so

아린

(in a low voice) Come out for a moment

지민

(small) Why?

아린

(in a low voice) Come out, I have something to tell you-

지민

(small) Okay.

Jimin carefully opened the front door and tried to leave the house, but as soon as the door opened, there was a shouting sound, as if someone was still asleep at home.

She was none other than Jimin's nanny, and in the end, Jimin never came out. The elders of my family whispered that the Japanese Empire would soon collapse.

If the Japanese Empire collapsed, my family would be torn apart because my father had become a pro-Japanese collaborator, and it was clear that sharp stones of criticism would fall on our family.

That day was probably the last I saw Jimin. August 14th. As the elders had predicted, the Japanese Empire collapsed. My family, who had amassed wealth through corruption and exploitation within the Japanese Empire, was instantly destroyed, and I hastily left for China.

Oh, of course I didn't forget to leave a letter for Jimin before I left.

I don't know if that letter reached Jimin...

아린

(Letter) Jimin, if you're reading this letter, I'm probably far away from you by now. But Jimin, I'm so afraid of being separated from you. I'm afraid of living alone in a foreign land without any close friends. In the next life, let's not be separated and stick together tightly.

아린

(Letter) Let's meet again in a life more firmly connected, happier, and more abundant. Thank you for considering me your comrade despite my shortcomings. Goodbye.
