"Of course, I also want them to be immortal, there is no doubt that 'immortality' is a myth, a myth, which means that mortals are almost impossible to achieve, but there is no doubt that their existence is already a myth in itself. ”

――――――――――

The big city of Seoul, like any other metropolis in the world, is like a giant machine that is constantly running, fast-paced and never stopping.

Prosperity is inevitable, neon gorgeous, drunken gold, day after day to continue its prosperity.

And in the busy streets, people come and go, in this huge but seemingly very narrow city to continue their lives, as if in the flow of blood, the fast pace, still "flowing", the slow pace is eliminated by the "fresh blood".

Prosperity is indeed beautiful, but sometimes it is so depressing that people can't breathe.

The sun is setting in the west, and the sun at dusk seems to be more like a thin veil than the morning fever, and it seems to sprinkle a little warmth on the buildings, the streets, and the pedestrians......

"Smack!"

"Ahh

"Ah, hug, sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Hey, I'm really ......"

The man opened his arms and frowned fiercely to look down at the large obvious coffee stain on the shirt on his chest, and then he turned his head to look at his hand that was a little wet with a paper cup of coffee, and suddenly couldn't help but be angry, and his eyes were puffed out in some fright, and he glared angrily at the petite girl in front of him.

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"

The girl was wearing a thick down jacket, a mask on her face, a hood on her head, a small bag on her back, and headphones on her two white ears, but at this time she had taken it off by herself and pinched it in her hand, first quickly turned her head and took out a pack of paper from her small backpack and handed it to the man, and then kept bowing and apologizing to the man who was accidentally bumped into by herself.

“…… Forget it!"

The girl is very petite. Although there is a big down jacket wrapping, this only sets off her thinness even more, and in the hazy light of dusk, her constantly bowing figure seems to be extraordinarily thin. The man opened his mouth, the anger on his face unconsciously subsided, and finally, he pursed his lips and sighed. Shaking his head, he took the tissue handed over by the girl, and walked away while wiping the coffee on his body, but he couldn't help muttering while walking: "Walk carefully in the future, look up at the front." ”

"I'm really sorry!"

"Hey...... What a ......."

"You're good to go. ”

“……”

"Whew-"

The girl straightened up and looked at the man's back as he gradually left, but she didn't show anything unusual because of the man's harsh words, but exhaled as if she were relaxed from her mouth, and then she looked down at the inconspicuous stain on her clothes. The lips hidden under the mask pursed, sighed helplessly, turned her head and put her hand into the small backpack, but this time, her movements stopped.

“…… There's no paper......"

Turning her head to look at the backpack with only her small purse left, the girl bit her lip slightly, and then, the corners of her lips seemed to curl, revealing a trace of a wry smile, and sighed deeply. Turning his head to look at the people coming and going on the street and the road signs on the side of the road, his somewhat sparse eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

"Have you come this far?"

She muttered quietly with an inexplicable emotion, while simply raising her hand and taking off the headphones from her other ear.

Moment. The beautiful world that was still half left in her ears was far away from her, and the noisy sounds of the streets suddenly poured into her ears, as if the whole person had suddenly sunk back into this bustling but chaotic world from another place.

"Whew-"

Raising her head slightly, she exhaled a cloud of white air through the mask at the sunset, and the afterglow of the sunset, which was still a little dazzling at first glance, made the girl can't help but raise a small white hand in front of her forehead, and a pair of narrowed eyes seemed to be a little blurred.

A faint white gas drifted up one by one. The glow of the setting sun shone brightly, as if it had reflected the light hidden deep in the red light through the thin layer of mist.

"Hey...... Tsk, my feet are sore, and it's so cold. ”

Just a simple daze, the surrounding bustling sound quickly woke up the girl, two small hands into the pocket, the whole person shrunk back, stood on the side of the road and stomped her feet, then she blinked, as if thinking about something, and then after a few seconds, she turned her head to look at the endless traffic on the road in front of her.

The time should be almost the rush hour after work, and the cars are speeding past the girl's eyes as if they are chasing something, one after another, and the fast pace seems to make it a little difficult for the petite figure standing on the side of the road to fit in.

After hesitating for a long time, the girl blinked, turned her head and took out her small purse from the small backpack and opened it to look at it.

Well, there are just three 1,000 won that have been spread out quite neatly.

Immediately afterward, the girl began to fold her fingers and muttered.

"Dinner is 15,000, a round trip by car...... Well, three thousand dollars is about the same. ”

After being so sure that she had the ability to "luxury", the girl raised her head to look at the speeding street in front of her, pursed her lips hidden under the mask, and then she carefully stretched out a small white hand and shook it.

The girl's posture looked strange, only half of her arms were outstretched, and her movements were hesitant, completely confusing what she was trying to do, and it felt like a ...... A man standing cramped in front of a rushing river.

"That...... Taxi？”

With a sweep of the floor, a car sped in front of her, blowing a little hair on her forehead and fluttering in style.

“……”

For a moment, the girl's hand subconsciously shrank back, her cheeks flushed with an unnatural flush, and an inexplicable look of embarrassment appeared on her little face hidden under the mask.

It's just that, after a while, the girl's lips hidden under the mask pursed her lips, she looked at the vehicles coming and going in front of her, her eyes bloomed with an inexplicable light, and she continued to stretch out her hand.

"The ......"

"Taxi ......"

A car drove in front of her, and she tried to stand on her tiptoes, scanning her little head sideways, and shaking her little hands vigorously when she saw a taxi with no one.

In the somewhat misty light of the dusk, she stood on the side of the road, trying to reach out her hand, and it seemed to be extraordinarily lonely......-
