I sat knees to my chest in his house and stared at my phone screen.

It was bizarre.

Choi Jihyeok clearly said that he had returned.

And the news really reported all of this as if it was the first time happening, and people panicked.

Is what he said really true?

Then, what about me?

I had encountered Choi Jihyeok's broadcast a year after his world had already begun to collapse.

My thoughts became complicated.

-"Now that at least 100,000 people have died, the bereaved families are commemorating them with indescribable, devastating feelings."

'The First Disaster.'

That's what Choi Jihyeok called it.

"The First..."

According to his words, I had come to the past. It was a year before I discovered Choi Jihyeok.

That's why Choi Jihyeok hadn't awakened either.

"Ugh..."

I reflexively turned my head to look at the bed Choi Jihyeok was lying on.

I think he'd been knocked out nearly all day.

Choi Jihyeok clutched his head and groaned softly as if he had a headache. I was worried about him, so I scooped up a glass of water and quietly crawled toward him.

"Have you come to your senses?"

"This is... this is my house."

I nodded at Choi Jihyeok's words.

At that, Choi Jihyeok yanked the blanket up to his neck and pressed up against the end of his bed, and shouted hysterically,

"What, how do you know my address!?"

"Why wouldn't I know the house you used to go to every day?"

Choi Jihyeok blinked at my answer and quickly lowered the blanket, convinced. I was dumbfounded.

"How... is your body feeling better?"

"It's okay, so don't worry."

I frowned at Choi Jihyeok's bad attitude and pressed my finger on the wound on his abdomen.

"Ouch!"

"Is this okay?"

I clicked my tongue a few times and picked up the bandage lying next to the bed.

"Look, I need to change the bandages."

"Forget it. Do you even know how to bandage properly?"

"I learned it."

At my words, Choi Jihyeok furrowed his eyebrows.

"... where."

"Youtube?"

Choi Jihyeok blinked blankly and stared at his stomach before he felt his body.

"You... you!"

"There was a deep wound on your thigh as well."

"Now... huh..."

Choi Jihyeok's face turned as red as a tomato that was about to burst.

I squinted at Choi Jihyeok.

"What are you thinking?"

"Who, who, who carelessly undresses someone!"

"Then should I have just left you bleeding? It makes sense."
