0 – Prologue
Car horns coming through the curtains of the semi-basement window, footsteps, people conversation.
As usual, I always wake up at noon when the sun is in mid-heaven.
Then I repeat tossing and turning in bed while looking at my phone.

Looking at the article, I let out a deep sigh.
I had a lot of deficiencies since I was young, so I jumped into society as soon as I became an adult, let alone college.
In my 20s, I couldn’t enjoy a single youth relationship.
It was 100 million won, which was hard earned by working while others were playing.
Looking back, I regretted the time I didn’t enjoy at all.
I couldn’t make a living just by working anymore.
So I decided to invest with the 100 million won I saved.
There was also an aspect that was overlooked because it was in the middle of the coin stock craze.
I learned about coins from an older brother I met while working, and after that, I bought a pool of Luna Coins. I was a common speculator in the current situation.
“f*ckin’ bastard.”
He cursed with a sigh.
It’s probably both.
After tossing and turning in bed for a while, I picked up some clothes and went to a nearby convenience store to feel the hunger.
The sun is dazzling.
The sunny weather seems to be a different world from the gloomy me.
“Oh, it’s like a different world.”
It’s funny even when you say it.
With an empty laugh, tears come out.
It must be because the sun is dazzling.
People walking along the roadside seem to blend in with the sunlight.
They and I feel like we are from another world.
A couple in love, a busy office worker, a college student going to school as if it were an afternoon class, and a child holding hands with her mother.
Their future looks full of possibilities.
A part-time job worker greets you annoyingly with the sound of a bell ringing as you enter the convenience store
“Welcome.”
I went out to buy ramen and soju.
The sun is hot today.
‘Why is it so sunny today?’
On the way home, I see an old man pulling a rickshaw full of waste paper.
Her grandmother, who is pulling a rickshaw on a hot day, looks particularly tired.
I felt a sense of kinship with the old man.
Approaching the rickshaw, I pushed her rickshaw behind her and said to her grandmother.
“I’ll help her grandma.”
“Thank you, bachelor.”
“Where are you going?”
“It’s okay, D.. But just ask me up there on the hill, bachelor.”
The old man and I climbed the hill sweating profusely in the scorching heat.
“Thank you very much, bachelor.”
“No, be careful not to get heatstroke.”
“Thank you.”
I decided to think positively on my way back home.
‘Still, I am still more eloquent than this old man. Even though I was in my 20s, let’s have a drink and start again tomorrow.’
As I kept repeating it as if brainwashing myself, my body suddenly became lively and I felt a strange sense of anticipation.
‘Tomorrow will be better than today’s me.’
‘I can do it!’
As I thought about it, I saw a crosswalk in front of my house before I knew it.
And the moment I crossed the crosswalk, a truck ran over me.
‘Ah, f*ck life.’
It’s life that doesn’t go the way you want it to, but to die as soon as you make up your mind.
My eyes were blurry and dark.
‘Ah, I don’t want to die.’
‘I wanted to live a wonderful life.’
‘I also wanted to become someone’s idol…’
.
.
.
.
‘I shouldn’t have auditioned as an idol trainee when I was 13.’
.
.
.
.
‘When I was 15, I should have sang something else in music class…’
.
.
.
‘Ah, why did you do a talent show back then?’
.
.
.
‘I should have confessed to him when I was 18 years old…’
.
.
.
‘… What is…? Why am I not dying?’
“Wait a minute..!”
I opened my eyes and screamed.
But all that comes out of my mouth is the cry of a baby
“Hmm…?”
When I opened my eyes, I saw a woman and a man in front of me.
The woman’s face was a mess, covered with sweat and tears, but she was beautiful despite her haggard appearance.
“Honey, you really worked hard..!”
A man, a man like a parasitic brother said.
“My princess is so cute.. Really.. Do-hee, you are my mother.”
‘Huh..? Princess?’
Hahaha ngl he is a crypto bro so iunno how his decision making skills will fair.
