10 SOMEONE SO SHINE ( CALLIX POV )

who is he? so dazzling. a killer who looks like a woman.

why didn't he kill me right away? why does he want me to see him? why? who?

don't let me live until nightfall, end my suffering as soon as possible. "kill me immediately!"

"unfortunately, I didn't come to kill you. I came to make a deal with you."

"a deal?"who is he to make a deal with a madman

"who... you?"

"I am nothing, nameless, not supposed to exist in the same world as you. I'm just a wanderer, knowing a little more than ordinary people, and I am... come from the same place as you."

the same place? that's where I come from. who am I? who... me?

"hah, Kim Jin Woo, I hope you don't forget where you came from. Busan City, South Korea."

who did he call? who's busan? who is South korea? is that all I am? vaguely, a strange-looking place crossed my mind but, strangely I felt familiar?

"you, who are you really?"

"I am just like you. reinkanator."

reinkanator? he also went back in time?

deg. no, the night has come and the pain is starting to feel again.

Akhhhh

if he was near me right now, he would have been killed by me losing control right. please go.

"uhukkuhukkk... go-away!.. ahhhhh"

"what happened-

ah, I lost control again. it was as if my whole body was being damaged by various sharp, hot, and poisonous objects. my bones were crushed. I don't remember anything.

#####

something's running through my mouth. strange. who's there? who am I? why don't I feel anything.

a stranger so close to me. something warm, alive and breathable. there was something stuck to my lips, it flowed something flowing and warm.

my body is slowly dying. I can hold my breath a little longer.

"sorry, because I was late. you must have been in a lot of pain, right?"

I feel warm. why would he say that? my body doesn't feel pain anymore? so is this how it feels to not feel pain at all? I think I've had it. ah, I'm tired, can I fall asleep without nightmares? maybe what I'm feeling right now is just a dream.

then don't let me wake up again.

#####

something blinding forcefully opened my eyes. my body was so weak that it was hard for me to move. I feel weird.

deg. someone who breathes, feels warm, and has hair, is he Human? human life? why is he hugging me? why is my head on his shoulder. why can't I say anything?

last night, what happened? did I die and not be born again? I'm free?

it's moving. my head is hard to lift.

"are you awake?"I can't see his face like this.

"you didn't have a bad dream, did you? you're not in pain anymore, are you?"

I can't say anything.

his hands moved, supporting my head. now you can clearly see that face. someone who is so radiant with her thin smile. I feel like I've missed something for so long.

"it's better, but don't think you're dead. we're alive now."

"and also, since the potion works, for a while you won't be in pain anymore. isn't that great?"

really?

"oh, but why didn't you say anything and just looked at me?"

"it-no. you're not dead, are you? Hey, say something! don't freak me out."

what I said, My voice didn't come out.

"phew, if your lips can still move it means you're still alive. it's a relief."

his face was full of wounds. it must be me, right?

"callix, starting today... I'll take you away."
