Chapter 1: Strawberry juice What is coming is unknown, "strawberry juice"...
On a warm spring day and among a large crowd of residents in Seoul, a middle-aged man lives in a small apartment by himself, dissatisfied with this difficult life he lives and the deterioration of his financial situation despite the attempts that always lead to failure, but he is also alone without a family and he did not have any lover even when he was alone. at this age.
Want to know who this sad man is?? It's me, my name is Wook Nam and today with this warm spring weather I've made the decision to end this failed life forever by ending my life and throwing myself under the last train of the day...
I started to look at everything as if it were the last time.. The beauty of the sky and the shine of the stars, the beautiful calm at the end of the night, my last lunch, my last smile in the mirror was a sad farewell. I never wanted my life to reach this point, but my fears that I feared have already happened.
While I was walking to the station with a great amount of gloom and silence that prevailed around, I felt that life was also saying goodbye to me, and I told myself that it was the end, and there was no way to retreat now.
I sat on a seat waiting for the last train ride to do what I wanted to do. The station was almost empty, there were a few people, and I was sitting on the seat alone, thinking about what I would do, rushing to my end, which would come after a few hours. A man dressed in fashionable clothes appeared and sat next to me. He looked at me and smiled. He had a bottle of strawberry juice in his hand. He gave it to me and said, "Drink it. It will help you to know the truth about who you are. Go home now. Your end has not yet come." Then he got up to leave. I could not answer him or talk about what he told me. I just told him that you don't want to take the train, why did you come? He looked at me and said I came here because fate wants me to carry out his mission, not for the sake of the train and he went..
Feelings of astonishment came over me and I thought to myself, Is this crazy, or what are my worries enough for me? Does he want to manipulate my feelings so that I don't do it?? Hey hey, how did he know that I wanted to get rid of my life.. I didn't tell him and this was the first time I even met him. Oh my God, is he a ghost? Did I start seeing them because I really wanted to die.. Then I looked at the bottle of juice and felt thirsty. I drank it in one go. It tasted very delicious. I had never tasted strawberry juice with this taste before.
When the train finally came and I approached him at the last moment, I remembered the words of that man and what he said to me. I retreated. I do not know, is this because of his words? Or do I want an excuse to keep my life! .. I came home and fell into a deep sleep as if I hadn't slept in a very long time. When I woke up for the first time, I felt that my body was light and my bones did not hurt as usual. Oh my God, this is a beautiful feeling that I have not felt for a long time, moment by moment Why did my voice become sweeter and with a different tone than my usual voice? Why did my room change? Am I in my house or someone else's house? I looked in the mirror and found a face other than mine. What is this? Am I dreaming?? Or have I entered a time machine or have I gone mad????... There are many questions in my mind what am I going to do now whose life am I going to live who am I who will answer all these questions Oh my God I will definitely go crazy..
