Rewind

Chapter 1

I am Kim Dae Sung, 25 years old and currently unemployed. 

Don't even ask why I am unemployed right now because it was just some stupid reason. Anyway, I graduated in xx university with the course of business management. I got employed the fastest in our batch. The first company I applied for was an okay company they give good pay and the work load isn't that heavy. It was only 2 months when I experienced something horrible in this company that I forced myself to resign in my position and because of that, I am now currently unemployed and having trouble to find my second company. Nobody wants to hire someone who just stayed in their previous company for only 2 months. Right now, I am currently a part timer at one of the convenience store here in Seoul. It's been 2 years since that incident and I am still looking for a full time job but, still haven't found one. I am really ashamed of myself.

*Phone Ringing*

"Hello?"

"Dae Sung ah~ lets have a drink tonight. Chi Soo would joins us." It was Ha Myung, college friend.

"Same Place? I just got off from work." Not true. I'm just at home, lying down and looking up in my ceiling.

"Yeah~ We just got off too. See you later! Don't be late!"

*Hang up*

Yes, as you can all see. Nobody, as in NOBODY knows that I am unemployed. I've been keeping this story up for almost 2 years already. Just imagine how humiliating this would be if anybody found out.

I got up and took out my suit from my cabinet and took my bath. Of course, I need to make myself look like I just got out from work. I fix myself, wore my suit, grab my bag and made my way to our usual place.

"Dae Sung! Here!" It was Chi Soo, another college friend of mine.

As I come closer to them, I could feel the tiredness already. Keeping this image isn't easy at all. You have to lie and lie about what happened to you today, what happened the other day and what would happen in the coming days. You would also lie about being tired from all the work load that you have and you even have to fake a smile to show them that you are contented with where you are and who you are today.

I know this is pointless but, I feel that if I even tell them or if they knew that I was unemployed they would pity me and ask what happened. I didn't want that. I didn't want to answer question regarding how I became unemployed.

After that gathering, we said goodbye and went our separate ways. Ah~ I knew it. I am tired not because of the gathering but I am tired with my whole life. With where I am and Who I am today, I am tired.

As I approach the bridge, I suddenly thought about my family. My parents wouldn't mind, I think. They would be much better without me because that would be less expenses for them. My friends would also wouldn't mind. As if they were real friends to me. They are just there because of companionship and nothing more. I was determined to end it there, to end everything. To end the story that I have been keeping up for the past years. To end me.

I reach for my pocket to text my parents goodbye but, there was something else in my pocket. I took it out and there was a small plastic with a blue pill inside. It comes with a note that says:

"You have been chosen to rewind life. Take this pill to start rewinding and text the number below"

Weird. What is this and where did I got it? I tried remembering the series of event a while ago in our small gathering but there was no significant event that happened for me in order to obtain this small plastic.

My head hurts. I can't keep this up. The alcohol that drank is taking effect and making me drunk.

*BLAM*

I could feel the sun ray against my skin. I look at my clock. 10 am. I got up and got a water bottle in my refrigerator and headed my way to the toilet.

I looked at the reflection in the mirror, Shocked.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

I looked like a High school student!!!!
