Y/n sigh in relief as the surroundings finally in peace, no more Dokja and Joonghyuk slandering each others with their sharp tongues.

Their group is currently sit around the bonfire in a circle with Joonghyuk is sitting beside Y/n while Dokja is having his head on Y/n's lap, sleeping.

Y/n and Joonghyuk is the only one who currently awake while the others already in their dream land.

"... I've heard your talk earlier."

Y/n blink and look at Joonghyuk while still Patting Dokja's head.

"Oh, you mean with my past self? Did you hear all of it?" Joonghyuk hesitantly shake his head.

"Not... All of it. But you can say most of it. Dokja probably listen half of it." Joonghyuk watch Y/n softly smile and gently pat Dokja's head.

"What is it, Joonghyuk-ssi?" Joonghyuk blink.

"Huh?" Y/n smile at him.

"I know you're a straightforward person, Joonghyuk-ssi. You don't like beating around the bush. You have something to ask me, right?"

"... You already died before."

"Yes."

"No- the one in the scenario didn't count." Y/n nod, letting Joonghyuk continue.

"... Are you a reincarnator?"

Y/n stare at Joonghyuk, who stare at him as if he's wary of him because he think Y/n is same as a certain someone.

"Hmm... You can say that I did got reincarnated, but I'm not a reincarnator like Nirvana. I only got reincarnated once, so the title 'Reincarnator' is not suitable for me."
Y/n then look at Joonghyuk.

"Well, I can't change how you view me, regarding you already regressed many times, so you must had met a lot kind of people. You know how to read someone better than me."

"So it's up to you if you want to believe what I said or not. You have Lie Detection skill, right? You can use it on me."

Seeing Y/n nonchalantly told him to use the Lie Detection skill on him, Joonghyuk instantly knew that Y/n is not lying.

"... Y/n, how did you died before you get reincarnated?"

"I got stabbed."

Joonghyuk stare at him.

'Stabbed? Just how he died in the seventh scenario?'

"Did you... Got involved in crimes or something?" Y/n chuckle and shake his head.

"No, no. I got stabbed by my own friend when I'm on my way from school." Joonghyuk's eyes widen as he look at
Y/n in shock.

Y/n, as if he knows what Joonghyuk's thinking, just softly smile at the older one.

"Ironic, isn't it? Well I kinda expected that he didn't like me but I didn't know it's until reaching to the point he wants to kill me."

"He was my friend during my junior high school. I only see him as a normal friend but he always claimed that we're best friend everytime people ask our relationship. Maybe it's because I'm the only one who usually willing to listen to his story."

"It's not like I don't like him at first, it's just I prefer to be alone, not being in other group circle, but still talk to the other people."

"He's a hardworking person, I admire him. Unlike him, I only study hard when I'm at home because my parents are watching me while I'm not doing my best at school. Well you know, people said we should enjoy our youth, right?"

"So school is the only where I can do that."

"I did listen to the teachers, doing the homeworks and studying but not as much as my friend did. He always stuck his nose with books until we got home."

"Everything was fine, until it was the last year in our junior high school. My parents pressure me to study hard for the high school entrance exam, for the best and famous one, and the one that I didn't want."

"Yet my friend want to go to that school."

"And I ended up doing what they want. Strangely enough, I got to get into the school while this friend of mine got rejected. Ever since then, I'd noticed his change of attitude towards me, or rather his true colour."

"Day by day, I've noticed he'd been avoiding me and be with his new best friend. Of course, I don't mind that. More privacy space for me. But what I didn't like is he told his new best friend all the bad things that I never did to him before."

"Ever since that day, I realized why I've got an ominous feelings when he approached me in the first place while everyone else is avoiding him."

"Thus, we part our ways and we didn't even message each other. Coincidentally, his crush that used to be our classmate went to the same school as me."

"I think I know what made him snapped. Let's say that he's obsessed with his crush but too afraid to confess. I got paired with his crush for a project, so we went out together to buy things we needed for the project."

"And I did caught a glimpse of him while we're buying the items."

"To think that the last day I lived ended by just because of someone's jealousy... I never thought jealousy can be the cause of murders before until I'm the one who experienced it."

Y/n softly smile as he feels Joonghyuk's hand patting his head, trying to comfort him.

He knew Joonghyuk is not someone who likes to comfort someone, so he appreciates the warm gesture.

"Tell me, Joonghyuk-ssi,"

"What did I do wrong?"
