​
​
at the border
​
​
There were two skies.
.
​
On one side, the green grassland stretched endlessly behind the horizon.
.
a clear blue sky
,
The sunlight brought down a cool shade under the plain.
.
Next to it, thick clouds were freely floating in the air.
.
​
The place was alive.
.
​
There was nothing on the other side.
.
None of them existed.
.
Only the black sky is
.
There was a black notoriety to be called heaven.
.
heaven and earth
天地
There was no end to the place where even the distinction was made.
.
​
The place was dead.
.
​
I am the place where two worlds will not coexist.
,
I was standing on the brink of a split.
.
The gap between the boundaries was close enough to pass either way.
.
​
It was only then that I looked around and realized.
.
The dream of decorating my bed every night.
.
It was that dream again.
.
​
I always ask myself first when I come here.
.
​
Why am I here?
.
​
I didn't have to worry about it anymore.
.
hundreds of already
,
It was a question I asked thousands of times.
.
The answer I found was,
‘
be waiting for sb.
.’
was
.
to give you a reason
,
That's how I felt.
.
​
So the second question.
.
​
Who are you waiting for?
.
​
No one came here even after a while.
.
So my dream came to an end here every time.
.
And the next day, the same background.
,
I rewound my dream in the same place.
.
​
In this stupid dream,
.
There was a change today.
.
​
Someone was coming over the horizon of the meadow.
.
The familiar faces greeted each other as they got closer to each other.
.
​
I found the second answer.
.
Eun Se Yeon
.
I was waiting for her.
.
​
So that's the third question.
.
​
Why were you waiting for her?
.
​
I stared at Se-yeon.
.
She had many differences from her usual appearance.
.
​
Once
,
I had no left arm.
.
Where did you leave it?
.
Her left side looked empty and lonely.
.
The clothes were covered with blood, from top to bottom.
.
I kept limping because I hurt my right leg.
.
The face withered like a flower with a cut-off stem.
.
The black eyes seemed to have just woken up.
.
His eyes are on this side.
,
I didn't mean to see me.
.
possessed by something
,
I felt that way.
.
​
She came close to me before I knew it.
.
​
Tubbuck
.
Tubbuck
.
But she passed by me as she was.
.
​
That made it clear.
.
My mind gradually filled up as if I had heard it from someone one day.
.
​
This is the boundary between life and death.
.
It was a moment when everything was coming.
.
​
And she was dying.
.
to be exact
.
one's deathbed
臨終
be on the verge
.
​
If we let it go any further, it was really over.
.
​
I wanted to catch her.
.
I had to catch him.
.
​
But my legs didn't move.
.
I didn't know where I was.
.
I was as stiff as a stone.
.
​
I've never been able to protect anyone.
.
Like now
.
All I had to do was watch.
.
​
She was the first.
.
​
a man of similar fate to mine
.
​
But unlike me, the man who went up against fate.
.
​
the man who gave up a light to me.
.
​
So even more
.
I didn't want to see her die in vain.
.
​
I wanted to save her.
.
​
I had to stop it.
.
I want you to stop her.
.
​
I'm on the faded border.
.
howl without a sound
.
​
‘!’
​
as if awakened from a dream
,
Everything came to life.
.
hand and foot
.
My body moved.
.
There was no time for further hesitation.
.
​
I ran quickly and stretched my arm out.
.
​
to her
.
​
□
​
​
“
I don't know what...
!”
​
We have a problem.
.
​
If a nuclear explosion goes off, this space will never stop.
.
The whole space was falling apart.
.
Every building collapses.
,
The ground was divided in all directions by an earthquake.
.
The black sky stopped snowing and the dark clouds tore on both sides.
.
The wind was so strong that it was hard to keep up.
.
​
In the face of an unexistent natural disaster, I had a gut feeling that something was wrong.
.
​
“!”
​
How can you do that?
.
​
I tried to throw the horse, but it faltered in the violent vibrations that shook the space.
.
In the midst of a severe fluctuation that's hard to keep my balance,
,
Lee Jun didn't budge strangely.
.
​
“
Tie it up.
​
!
”
​
At my words, dozens of red ropes sprang from the floor and grabbed his limbs.
.
​
I just grabbed him.
.
​
As soon as the ropes touched his body, they disappeared into the air as if they were burning with red powder.
.
​
a step
,
I stepped down
.
I had no choice but to be embarrassed by the unexpected result.
.
​
Lee Jun moved.
.
It began to come this way.
.
​
“
Execute according to orders.
​
!
”
​
Dozens of red postures lined up in midair as the order was given.
.
Maximum deployment focused on energy still remaining
.
​
I aimed at him in unison.
.
​
And in one gulp.
,
​
“
What--
”
​
be gone
.
without a trace
.
Everything turned red.
.
