Yeonjun woke up seeing a naked body beside him. He didn't bother to wake her up because she's just one of his flings anyways. He dresses himself and went out of the hotel room. He was living his grand but meaningless life.

He went to his home and go straight to the kitchen. Grabbing a knife and sliced his fingers, chopping them to bits. He cried because he doesn't feel the pain. Slowly his fingers moved and went back to his hands, just like magic. But no... It was a curse.

He went to his room, and think about all the miseries happened to him and his twisted fate.

One day, going back to 1400s during Joseon's dynasty. Yeonjun was just a boy on his village. He loved his life so much, he had a loving family, he had real friends and he was contented.

A day before the Chilseok Festival, Yeonjun grew thorns on his head. He was so scared that he ran away to the forest. He found an old cottage.

"Help!! Help!!" he shouts as he knocks on the cottage's door. Someone opened the door and its eyes were purple and green, so peculiar.

"Oh, boy!" it exclaimed and pull him inside.

"How did that happen?" it asked him.

"I don't know. They just grew. Can you remove this?" he said.

"If I removed it, there will be consequences." it said but Yeonjun didn't care. The only important thing to him right now is to get rid of the thorns.

The stranger didn't even bother he was determined. Getting some flower petals from its stockroom, making a purple tea.

"Drink this and the thorns will be gone forever." it said.

Yeonjun didn't hesitate to drink it. He got dizzy and fainted. Only to wake up on the day of Chilseok Festival.

"Yah, come on. Let's offer these pumpkins and go to our house later." Kai said and Yeonjun followed him. He also noticed that his thorns disappeared and he smiled.

Ever since that day, Yeonjun enjoyed his life until everybody around him grew older and him? He was still as young just like yesterday. And to the point, that his family died, his friends died. All was left was him. He ran to the forest to see the old cottage but he couldn't find it.

He woke up sweaty, he had the dreams of his past again.

-.. .-. . .- -- .. -. --.

Yeonjun went to work. One thing to keep him busy and to get rid of the thought that he was immortal and can't die no matter what he did. This is the reason he was rich. He started working even though he can live without eating, in hopes of dying with the help of science. He was sponsoring many laboratories to help him in studies.

He rides on the bus, the bus was almost empty, which is strange because it is rush hour. The ride was long and there was traffic so he started to observe the things around him. He could see the driver was already old and has white hairs. There are also students. There was girl wearing a long sleeve white dress. There were familiar faces, he thought that maybe they are reincarnated.

He thinks of reincarnation, he sometimes saw his family reincarnated many times but he haven't seen someone who looks like him.

He is having deep thoughts that he didn't noticed there was an accident. The bus he was riding went upside down and was now burning. He saw a girl going out of the bus, he followed her. He was shooked the girl is fine, the driver and other passengers were in critical condition but both of them are fine.

The girl saw him caught her, that's why she ran away. Yeonjun followed her until they both gave up. The girl opened her bag and get a knife pointing to Yeonjun.

"Come on, stab me." Yeonjun was calm knowing he won't die anyways. The girl hesitated and hides the knife in her bag.

"Who are you?" she said.

"Yeonjun. Are you immortal too?" yeonjun said.

"I'm Youngwon." she replied.
