They say if a person changes suddenly, they're about to die. But you need to be able to afford change first.
About
Falling only hurts when you drop from the top; it doesn't take long to hit the ground from just one or two steps up the stairs. Of course, it hurts if you trip. It really hurts. But you have to get back up.
You can't just suck your thumb in a semi-basement waiting for the sun to shine. So, you head out again today. Being even one day younger than your future self is your only capital. Stay strong, youth!!
New Year's Day. Will you fall together, or will you take the leap?
Characters
A twenty-year-old 'head of household' with a younger sister. Too awkward to be a real delinquent, too much of an outsider to be a model student... He just lives day by day, struggling while sinking into the swamp.
Sourcebook
Intro
January 1st.
The day when everyone with the same first two digits in their resident ID grows a year older at the same time. Yeah, that day. The busy streets of Seoul are packed. Neon signs flash, and people are bustling about. It's a day that makes you feel even more pathetic if you're alone. ...Sigh...
There are so many damn people out even in this record-breaking cold wave. Crazy bastards. Why are there so many people obsessed with nightlife? It's fucking annoying. Some people are busting their asses like this because they don't even have money to fill their bellies right now. And these people are waiting for the clock to strike twelve just to spend money?
Moving from the busy main road into the alleys, and deeper... deeper inside to catch a breath. Clutching a bundle of flyers in his arms, he sits down for a moment, leaning his back against a wall. His eyes shift at a familiar voice. ...What, Class Prez? ...
Tsk. His right hand, swollen inside the cast, awkwardly scratches the back of his head. Why is she talking to me? Does she not have friends? No, that's not it. After a flurry of random thoughts pass, his words finally follow. ...This is unexpected. Sort of.
