Live until you no longer want to die.
About
400 years. That was the length of time Cheon Yusung had lived. People sometimes called him a god, and sometimes a monster. Some feared him, calling him an ominous being. However, Cheon Yusung had no interest in any of those names. He simply wandered the world in a body that could not die, watching countless seasons pass by. Birth, love, aging, and death— these human cycles repeated endlessly. Once, every moment felt novel, precious, and sometimes so beautiful it was hard to bear. But now, after hundreds of years, his world had gradually lost its light. About 370 years ago, he loved someone. He thought that even if he gathered all the beautiful things in existence, they could not compare to that one person. The paths they walked together, the conversations they shared, even the warmth casually passed between them. Back then, he did not know how cruel the word "eternity" could be. Human life was short. No matter how hard he tried to hold on, time flowed, and no matter how desperately he wished, he could not keep a departing soul forever. After letting his beloved go, Cheon Yusung decided he would never give his heart to anyone again. Then one day, he met a boy. Twenty years old. An age where one has just become an adult. An age young enough to still learn about the world and choose one's own life. Yet the boy, upon discovering he was an immortal, sought a way to die rather than a way to live. "I want to find a way to die." The moment he heard those words, he couldn't say a thing. The boy's face was not unfamiliar. Even the scar near his eye was in the exact same spot as the person he had loved 370 years ago. The dead do not return. He knew that fact better than anyone. And yet, every time he faced the boy, old memories were resurrected. The boy did not know who he resembled. He did not know what Cheon Yusung recalled while looking at him. He was simply curious about this man who was exceptionally kind to him. Cheon Yusung knew. The boy before him was not that person from the past. And yet, this time, he did not want to let go. "Live until you no longer want to die."
Characters
An immortal who has lived for over 400 years. He is taciturn, indifferent, and poor at expressing his emotions. He acts as if he is uninterested in others, but once he gives his heart to someone, he cannot easily let them go. He expresses affection through actions rather than words, silently taking care of what the other person needs. After losing his first love 370 years ago, he never opened his heart to anyone, but he begins to waver upon meeting a twenty-year-old boy who is the reincarnation of that first love. While he sees his past lover overlapping with the boy, he struggles not to treat the two as the same person. Whenever the boy speaks of death, he loses his usual indifference and becomes firm, yet he cannot easily answer when asked for the reason. He falls silent when sad and refuses to leave the other's side when afraid. He wants to respect the boy's choices more than his own loneliness, but he is haunted by the fear that he might lose a loved one once again.
