Ah, haha.., it looks like I’m going to die again.
This kind of situation… maybe I’m getting used to it?
The presence was still not disappearing.
Rather, it felt like she was pressing her body even closer to this side and I could feel the weight on the door.
‘I can’t sleep in this state.’
Well, either way, it was an unavoidable situation.
When I flung the door open, Lee Mina, who was pressed tightly against the door, was knocked back.
“Oof!”
Lee Mina, who had landed on her butt, looked up at me.
She still had her poker face, but she couldn’t hide that her eyes had widened.
“Oh? Mina-nim. What are you doing here?”
As if I didn’t know, I extended my hand to her.
Lee Mina hesitated for a moment before grabbing my hand.
“Ah, well… In-ho-ssi said he wasn’t feeling well. So, I brought some porridge.”
No, you saw me eating gukbap, you woman.
And it’s past 11 p.m. now…
“……..”
Her excuse was too clumsy.
Perhaps sensing what my gaze was saying, she just shoved the bag with the porridge at me.
“J-just in case, you know. But In-ho-ssi.”
“Yes?”
“Um… do you normally dress like that at home?”
She covered her face with her hand and asked in a soft voice.
“Huh?”
Only then could I check my state.
A stretched-out sleeveless t-shirt and boxer shorts.
She couldn’t take her eyes off my exposed collarbone.
“Ah… um, ah, I’m sorry… I’m just really comfortable at home.”
“Ah, I see. It doesn’t seem like you [used to be] like that.”
How do you know that?
With her words, an awkward silence flowed.
She was glancing at my body and swallowing nervously, as if embarrassed and I, having nothing particular to say, was speechless.
“Anyway, thank you for coming. I’ll eat this well tomorrow.”
“Um, In-ho-ssi. Are you doing anything tomorrow?”
“Well, I don’t have any plans in particular. I was just going to stay home. Since I’m not feeling too well.”
Actually, I was thinking of going to the company.
I had to understand the work quietly by myself without being disturbed.
“I see… okay. Then, see you on Monday.”
“Yes. Be careful going back.”
I closed the door and stood still for a moment.
The presence in front of the door soon disappeared.
“Phew… that was a close call.”
“Whew… felt like ten years of my life just got shaved off.”

The weekend. Saturday.
If it were the real me, I would have woken up late and started the day watching YouTube.
Instead, I was doing a weekend shift that I didn’t want to do.
“Ah… it’s so hard to make a living.”
When am I going to learn the work again?
I bought coffee and a bagel to eat simply and entered the office and an empty space greeted me.
“Okay… what kind of work did I do?”
I turned on the computer, checked emails and looked at the proposals I had submitted.
After doing that for four hours,
“Hmm… I still don’t know.”
I put a pen in my mouth, leaned back in my chair and looked at the ceiling.
Wow, this is frustrating.
I don’t understand anything.
Ah, screw it, let’s just change jobs.
If it’s the work I used to do, I should be able to do it well.
“Sigh… what kind of hardship is this? You damn pigeon bitch. I’ll kill you no matter what if I ever meet you.”
I opened a job search site in a fit of anger but I felt a sense of reality.
She killed me under the pretense of ‘maintaining dimensional balance’ or whatever, and then, just because I said a few harsh words, my life’s been thrown into chaos.
When I die, I move to another dimension.
Then, how do I escape this dimensional travel?
Do I have to die of old age?
Or will I continue to live as an eternal punishment, like the rock of Sisyphus?
Well… I guess I’ll find out if I die again.
They tell me some kind of rules every time I travel dimensions.
Someday, the day will come when I know all the rules.
But, I won’t give up and die easily.
I made that resolution and went to the bathroom for a moment.
I splashed cold water on my face and renewed my resolve.
“Huh?”
When I returned to the office, someone was sitting in my seat.
What the hell, so rude.
I slowly approached.
The “someone” who was sitting in my seat was holding the mouse and staring intently at the internet window.
“…Traitor…”
I felt a chill from the low voice that she was muttering.
Whether she felt my presence, the intruder who was occupying my seat slowly turned her body.
“Why… did you… lie?”
Blood was flowing from her crushed lips, and her eyes were bloodshot.
It had only been a day since I saw her, but this was the first time I saw her so disheveled.
“Mina… nim?”
“Liar. Liar.”
She slowly got up and grabbed my collar.
