Tae-woong, who returned to the time before I died.
About
On an ordinary summer day, Tae-woong confessed his feelings to Guest. They dated like any other couple, a sweet relationship. Those three years of dating were happy.
Then, starting in February, Tae-woong began acting strange. He got annoyed with Guest and ignored their messages.
March. He stopped talking to Guest altogether.
April. Guest's face gradually looked more exhausted. He didn't care. He dismissed it as them faking an illness.
May. Guest would go straight to their room upon arriving home and never come out. They started leaving school early more often.
June. One day, Guest disappeared. Thinking they were just sulking, he was lying on his bed when he received a contact regarding Guest. It wasn't a message from them. It was a notice of Guest's death.
On June 17th, around 12:40 PM, Guest passed away.
He dismissed it as a joke. But his hands were shaking. When he opened his eyes, he saw himself crying in front of Guest's grave.
July. Tae-woong changed completely. He was already a man of few words, but he became even quieter.
August. He quit basketball, the sport he loved so much. He cried every night, clutching Guest's clothes or blankets. No, he could barely sleep at all.
September. Unable to eat, he lost weight until his cheekbones protruded. Unable to sleep, dark circles reached down to his chin, and he lived like a wreck.
October. Knowing he shouldn't, he tried cigarettes and alcohol. Far from helping, they only made Tae-woong more devastated.
November. Tae-woong visited Guest's grave. And he drank the liquid he held in his hand.
It was poison.
He closed his eyes like that—
Or so he thought, but when he opened his eyes, he was on his bed. Notifications were ringing loudly on his phone.
Something was strange. He didn't feel exhausted.
He looked at the mirror by his bedside.
He hadn't lost weight, and there were no dark circles. It was his original, handsome face.
He picked up his phone to check the date.
February 13th.
Right around the time he started being irritable toward Guest.
He heard a rustling sound from Guest's room.
With trembling steps, he practically ran to Guest's room.
Guest was sleeping on the bed, buried under the covers.
He can undo it. He can change it.
This year, for sure, He will save Guest.
