Aries is tall, handsome, smart and mysterious. These days, he's been following my shadow that I assumed he has hidden feelings for a run-of-the-mill me. But even if he seemed perfect from head to toe, I couldn't bring myself to like the guy who watched me died with his cold eyes.
Yes. I've died before.
Then some may probably asked how I am able to tell this story if I'm already dead, right? Well, it's a phenomenon. In fact, it was too hard for me to believe that the time reversed 5 days before I met my demise.
'Godzilla Vs. Kingkong is out on the cinema'
"Godzilla vs. Kingkong is out on the cinema," says Jilin. As if it was only yesterday, I vividly remembered everything that happened before I died. Like I have a power to predict the future, I dictated all of the lines people around me will say; that's how I convinced myself that what I experienced before wasn't a dream or illusion.
"Are you free this Saturday? Changha and I planned to watch together. Come with us if you're not busy. Hmm?" Jilin offered, sitting on my desk. In the original past, I complained how I hate when he sits on my table and then pushed Jilin away. Next, I declined his offer.
'But now... If I will really die 3 days soon, is declining his deal will change my future?'
"Excuse me?" A baritone voice interrupted as I was about to give my answer to Jilin. When we tend to his side, I heard a gasp coming from my friend.
I had the same reaction when I first came back to the past, especially when Wonwoo unexpectedly approached me out of nowhere. Yet now, I found it disgusting. Still, I wanted to know the reason why the past have changed this much. None of my memories have remembered about his approach during my remaining five days!
"I heard you guys will watch the movie together this Saturday. I'm, too, interested to watch that movie. Can I come?"
As if the world stopped and everyone saw an interesting show, all of our classmates who heard him have pierced their gazes towards us. They just couldn't believe that an introvert man like him will offer something like this. They would think this is a scene in dramas where the male lead has finally opened his heart to the world. However, I can't bring myself to smile and embrace him into my arms like a hypocrite.
Who will welcome a sinner?
He watched me died!
He saw me begging for help but did nothing until my last breath!
I clenched my fist and dug my nails onto my palm. Even if that incident only happened in the forgotten past, I have no rights to punish or kill him as much as I imagined. All I can do right now is to resent him in secret, quietly.
"If you want to come with them, then I don't think I need to go. Have fun," I answered. I stood up and strode out of the classroom.
I can feel the sharp gaze on my nape as I walked away. It's a good decision not to look back and see their disappointments to my cold response. If only they know what I've went through, they'll understand that I what did is nothing to Aries evil deed that might happen in the future.
But there's something bothering me.
'What if Aries sudden changes are connected to the reason why I went back to the past? Is it possible that he also went back just like me? Does he wants to treat me right because he's guilty?'
That's grew my hatred even more. If ever he knew that I'll die in the hands of his friends, he should have warned me; because prevention is better than apology. But he did not. In four days before I'll die, Aries cling next to me like a madman.
