JENNIE'S POV

-Jennie: Take your time, I want all the details, please... (places her hand on yours)
-Athan: (nods and smiles) I said, everything started when we became classmates. The truth is that I enjoyed teasing you because your reactions were really funny... (chuckles)
-Jennie: Even then, you were annoying (jokes)
-Athan: (smiles) Well, with the time, I started to think that your reactions were really cute... So I tried to bother you during the all classes. The truth is that I just wanted to catch your attention because I started liking you (smiles)
-Jennie: What a way to seduce a girl (chuckles)
-Athan: It actually worked out because around five months after insisting a lot, you accepted to have a date with me (smiles)

-Jennie: Tch, lucky you that you fell for a good person able to give you a chance after everything... (smirks)
-Athan: Yeah, yeah... The truth is that although it took you quite long to realise your feelings, you were really into me when we started going out (smiles)
-Jennie: Of course! When you are in a relationship is because you are really into the other person... Idiot (giggles)
-Athan: We started going out, and during a year or so, I would say that we were really happy...
-Jennie: But, something happened later, right?
-Athan: I started hanging out with bad guys, bad influences... The truth is that you were really mad at me. I started arriving really late to the dorm, and I started to drink and smoke... You were really furious with me!
-Jennie: I was probably dead worried for you...
-Athan: We used to argue almost all days because of my horrible habits, so I decided to stop seeing you that much.
-Jennie: What?
-Athan: I started to hang out more often with my new friends... And that actually guided me to an unstoppable dead (sighs) The night when we were about to celebrate two years and a half together, I drank a lot.
-Jennie: And?
-Athan: And you texted me that you were waiting for me in your house... I shouldn't had taken the motorbike, but I wanted to arrive home as soon as possible.
-Jennie: But you never returned, right? (looks down)
-Athan: Exactly... (sighs) I died. And then I appeared in this world... Someone explained me that the "After Life" is used for those souls who had something left to do on their other life...
-Jennie: Then, Dahyun, Jungkook and Lisa-
-Athan: Exactly, they were all dead, but they had something left to do...
-Jennie: So once they did it, they left or how?
-Athan: Well, that's where I come in (sighs) I sent their souls to the queue for being reborn. Just if they deserved it, of course...
-Jennie: Then you are-
-Athan: Wait Jen, let me finish telling you what happened.

-Athan: Apparently, I had something left to do

-Athan: Apparently, I had something left to do... I had to meet you that night to celebrate, you know?
-Jennie: I see... You felt guilty because you never came.
-Athan: (nods) When I tried to do it, I discovered that it would be impossible to do it because you also died.
-Jennie: Huh?
-Athan: Once you got awarded of what happened to me, you decided to join me and committed suicide. As I told you, you were really really into me... (looks down) You shouldn't had loved me that much, gosh... (chuckles)
-Jennie: So, this is what you meant when you said that I died because of you... (lays back her head thinking) It's okay, I think that we all make mistakes. And it's not as if you decided to have a traffic accident... It just happened (srughs and smiles)
-Athan: Yeah, but that's not all, Jen. I did something horrible to you again... (sighs) I was so desperate, you know? I couldn't accept the idea of you dying because of me... That's why I decided to have a deal with the person who received me in this world.
-Jennie: What kind of deal did you make, idiot?!
-Athan: I made you reborn and life you other life again by hiring his job and becoming what he was. Of course, I would need to life in this After Life world for always... So in your other second life, I never existed. That's why in this After World of yours, I'm not your classmate... (looks down)
-Jennie: You became immortal because of me? So you could give me the chance to life a little bit more? (touched) You were really into me, you know?

-Athan: Yeah maybe, but I was being egoistic... Although I wanted you to enjoy your life and be happy, I made you not able to find love again... I hated the idea of seeing you with someone else, you know? (looks down) I didn't know what that would bring you to...
-Jennie: Because of you, I never had true friends or a lover... (looks down) That made me jump out of that building.
-Athan: That's it (sighs)
-Jennie: And since you replaced the person who received you before, now you were the one receiving me, right?
-Athan: (nods) I'm so sorry Jennie, I didn't kill you one but two times... This is all my fault you shouldn't be here. And if it couldn't be worse, I'm using you in this world too. I'm horrible, I know.
-Jennie: What do you mean by "using me" in this world, too?
-Athan: I wanted to be with you, Jennie (looks down) I made you receive something known as the "Death's kiss", and that turned you immortal too...
-Jennie: Now I won't be able to leave the "After Life", so I won't be able to born again, right?
-Athan: (nods) I'm really sorry... I'm so egoistic and possessive, I'm a monster! Jennie... After all of this, are you still interested in me?

 After all of this, are you still interested in me?

-Jennie:... (sighs) It is certainly a lot to take into account judging by the fact that you decided on your own my future. But I also know that there we no bad intentions in your acts...
-Athan: You don't understand, Jennie. I am now a monster. I am the responsible of all and each of the daily deaths...
-Jennie: What do you mean?
-Athan: Me myself, Jen. I am the death. I'm responsible of liberating all this souls.
