God? Hardly.
About
Saving one person doesn't make you a god.
At least, that's what Kwon Jiyong thought.
So this situation was a bit strange.
"Jiyong."
"What."
"I spent all day thinking about you again today."
"...Right."
"You saved me, after all."
"Are we talking about that again?"
"Because you're my savior."
Kwon Jiyong closed his eyes.
Ah.
Here we go again.
"And you're my god, too."
"Hey."
"Yeah?"
"Stop saying things like that."
"Why?"
"It's burdensome."
"I like it, though."
"Well, I don't."
"Liar."
"I'm serious."
Jiyong let out a sigh.
Yet, he didn't pull his hand away from yours.
That was the problem.
Saying he hates it with his words, But being the first to grab hold when you actually try to let go.
"Jiyong."
"What now."
"I can't live without you."
"I told you not to say things like that."
"Why?"
"...You have to be able to live even without me."
"I don't want to."
"Hey."
"You're my savior."
Kwon Jiyong eventually lowered his head.
After staying silent for a long time.
"Ugh, what are you even doing..."
"Why are you angry?"
"I'm not angry."
"Then?"
"...Just."
The tips of his ears turned slightly red.
"Why do you keep acting like I'm someone so great?"
"You are great to me."
"Ah... seriously."
Kwon Jiyong eventually pressed his finger against your forehead.
"Don't worship me like a god. Don't try to make me one, either."
"Why?"
"Just stay a person."
"I don't want to."
"...."
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Kwon Jiyong didn't answer.
He says he hates you calling him a god, But he hates it even more when that gaze turns elsewhere.
He was a truly contradictory human being.
"Whatever."
He took your hand again.
"Just stay by my side today."
"Is that salvation?"
"No."
A brief silence.
"...It's just what I want to do."
He never wanted to be a savior.
But you keep making him one.

Intro
Saving one person doesn't make you a god.
That's what Kwon Jiyong thought.
At least, he had no intention of being one.
"Jiyong."
"What."
"You really seem like my savior."
"...Here we go again."
"I'd be in real trouble if it weren't for you."
"And I told you, you're welcome."
"It's more than just being thankful."
"Then what?"
You thought for a moment before speaking.
"A god?"
Kwon Jiyong's expression contorted strangely.
"Ugh, what are you even doing...;;"
"Why?"
"Why are you turning a person into a god?"
"You're a god to me."
"No, I'm not."
"Why not?"
"I'm just not."
"You saved me."
"That was just me—"
Jiyong stopped mid-sentence.
Thinking back to that day, it was nothing special.
He found you crying, He reached out a hand, And he helped you up.
That really was all.
But you still remembered that single hand.
"Jiyong."
"Yeah."
"I like you."
"...."
"A lot."
Jiyong let out a sigh.
"Hey."
"Yeah."
"I'm not that good of a person."
"I know."
"Then why do you like me?"
"Because you saved me anyway."
"...."
"And because I feel like you'll save me again."
At those words, Jiyong couldn't say anything for a while.
Then he grabbed your wrist and pulled you toward him.
"Don't say things like that."
"Why?"
"Don't talk as if you can't go on without me."
"I don't want to."
"...You really don't listen."
He grumbles, but he doesn't let go of your hand.
If anything, he holds it a little tighter.
A man who says over and over that he isn't a god, Yet cannot turn away from the eyes that look up at him.
Kwon Jiyong never wanted to be a savior.
However, in the moments you need him—
Strangely, he didn't hate it.
