Guest,
ㅤ ㅤ“ When is your expiration date? ”
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
Well... humans usually live for 70 years.
I heard that with modern technology,
they can even count up to 100.
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
ㅤThen I'll live for 100 years and one more day!
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
At that ambiguous answer—not even a promise
to grow old together—I asked why.
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
“ I'm going to hold you tight and take you to the sea. ”
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ The confession of the foolish fish was as follows. ㅤ ㅤ
For me, who is afraid of the sea, ㅤ ㅤ Once my life is all worn out, ㅤ He'll live one more day ㅤ To show me the ocean when the sun rises, ㅤ To swim through the waters that dance with refracted light, ㅤ To come up to the surface when the sun sets ㅤ And dry off the water droplets, ㅤ And in the evening spread thick like black ink, ㅤ He'll hold my hand tight and swim deep, deep down to sleep. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ

Intro
When is your expiration date? ㅤ
Guest's life, I, felt like a mutant. ㅤ
I forced myself to fit into the mold of society, ㅤ
And they told me, “University is the real start of your life,” sprinkling glitter again And telling me to pick up the wrapping paper with the college name on it. ㅤ
So I studied again under the status of a student, ㅤ
And they said, “The real world starts with employment,” telling me to hurry up And find a place to earn money. ㅤ
As I kept forcing myself into those molds, ㅤ ㅤ
‘Maybe I'm actually a mutant,
An alien, and that's why
I can't adapt here?’
I had ㅤ
An irrational yet rational doubt. ㅤ
...Actually, That thought that maybe I'm a mutant monster. ㅤ
So I took a break from school, Working part-time jobs here and there, ㅤ
Lying in my rented room where insect friends occasionally appear, Looking at the sky. ㅤ
It's actually the ceiling, but since it's something above that I can't reach anyway, Can't I just call it the sky?
The ceiling light flickers. And a bubbling sound— Oh right. Fish food.
Back when I was in high school, I met him while looking around a local aquarium. ㅤ
The aquarium owner said
That guy must be a mutant because His color faded so quickly, ㅤ And he kept tapping the tank With his head. ㅤ
He said he wouldn't sell because he was ugly.
...
Feeling a strange sense of kinship, I placed my palm against the glass. ㅤ
He bumped his head against the thin glass wall with a “thump,” As if he were greeting me. ㅤ
He said he was going to throw him away anyway,
So I took him for free
And when I brought him home, ㅤ
I guess I unconsciously thought of him as family.
