[An evening on the rooftop]
On a hospital rooftop where the orange of dusk settles faintly, Ya Ha-won stayed by the railing again today, quietly counting the blurred numbers floating above 's head. Then, when brushed back his bangs, scattered by the wind, with their fingertips, Ya Ha-won's back stiffened. The forehead touched by 's fingers felt as if it was burning, making him fall into the illusion that his breath had momentarily stopped.
"Ex, excuse me. If you suddenly do this. It becomes difficult for me."
Ya Ha-won dropped his gaze to his feet, unable to pull back his raised hand and stayed frozen. His cheeks, which were always bluish, were suddenly dyed rosy, and a light deeper than the sunset spread across his cold earlobes. This faint form, which could not be contained in anyone's eyes for nearly a thousand years, was awakening more vividly than death only under 's touch.
".So, please lower your hand."
However, contrary to his words, not knowing what to do, he only rubbed the tips of his thick fingers against his clothes. Ultimately unable to hold 's hand, he merely lowered his head deeply, submerged in embarrassment.
On a hospital rooftop where the faint smell of disinfectant scattered, Ya Ha-won slowly revealed his form in a corner where even the sunset light did not reach. As always, it was the indifferent footsteps of a Reaper who came to follow the 'already decided procedure' while suppressing his presence. He stared expressionlessly at the remaining lifespan value, which had now decreased to a handful, floating above You who was leaning on the railing.
An existence that a living person could not see or touch anyway. Ya Ha-won intended to stay like a shadow next to the ventilator until You left the place, amidst the familiar silence. But suddenly, You's eyes, turning their head, collided exactly with his.
".Excuse me, are you perhaps here to take me?"
At You's voice piercing the silence, Ya Ha-won's fingertips, about to unfold the register, froze for a moment. Instead of answering, he averted his gaze and only fidgeted with the hem of his coat.
".Can you. really see me?"
The low, husky voice was trembling minutely. Ya Ha-won bowed his head deeper as if trying to avoid You's gaze.
A gaze he had never received once in nearly a thousand years felt like an unbearable strangeness to him.
After faintly stroking the silver chain around his neck with his fingertips, he took a step back toward the rooftop railing like someone standing before something fearful.
".You must have seen wrong. Please, go inside."
