I've never understood humans before...I've never known love...I've never known that some human beings still exist. It came from love. Love that is the driving force for everything to move forward...even though it causes pain, I'm happy to love someone...happy to love. and happy to be loved Even if it's not fulfilled...as long as I get that love...I'll be very happy...do you think it's true?

I live in a land filled with the scent of death. A land that has never known happiness and the word "love", where I am responsible for leading all souls to atone for their karma, and I have been doing this duty for more than a hundred years. Until one day the day came when I had to become a temporary human being. Because I made a mistake in my work and brought the human soul to the wrong person.

So the higher ups punished me. Let's live life like a normal human being. By telling me that the human world has one beautiful thing which is “love” if and when I get to know true love. I will have to experience the pain of being separated from the person I love. So I can return to being the angel of death like before...

“You... it's you! I called you a long time ago.” Someone's bright voice woke me up from my thoughts.

“Huh...uh, sorry. I just couldn't hear you.” I turned around and saw for the first time a creature called a human woman. She has a pure and innocent smile.

"Look, is there something stuck on my face? Why are you staring at it?"

“Oh, no, nothing. She uh...has a beautiful smile.”

“Ha...uh, thank you. You're so direct, I'm shocked. But you're a new student, so why haven't I seen you before?" she asked with an innocent expression. and a bright smile

"Yes, my name is Allen. Nice to meet you..."

This was the first day I first stepped into a living being called a human being. I met a human woman for the first time. She looks very cute. Small and fragile, but with strong eyes. I had no idea that meeting this woman would make my human life more colorful...and make me get to know true love...

"this! What are you thinking?” The familiar voice of her that always wakes me up from my sleep rang in my ear.

“No, just thinking about the first time I met you. Oh!” Again, it hurts, it hurts in my heart. I probably won't last much longer...

“What's wrong? It hurts there again...right?”

“I don't mind. You don't have to worry, I know myself well.”...that I won't last long. “Are you crying?”

“Huh...no.” She raised her head and looked at me even though her eyes were still trembling. It's like she's trying to hide something from me...a matter that she thinks I don't know yet...a matter that I won't be able to protect her as promised.

“Really, you went to see the doctor, right? What did the doctor say?” She smiled. Smiling the same way I did when I first met her. But her smile now looked sad and painful.

"The doctor said..." Her voice trembled. And she lowered her head and avoided my eyes. “…said you will definitely get better.” Her eyes were red as if she wanted to cry… I knew that I was the one who stole her bright smile two years ago. When we agreed to date, that's when I started to feel this thing called love.

But now, if I could go back in time, to that time when I met her, I would not compliment her, I would not get to know her. If she could really do it, she wouldn't have to suffer like this…

“Sorry,” I told her. She raised her head and stared into my eyes.

“Excuse me? You didn't do anything wrong here.”

“Do it, I definitely wronged you. I can no longer keep the promise between us. I know very well…” Her sweet face was now filled with tears that were flowing down.

“No, I already told you...that you...you must get better.” I used all the strength I had to sit up and pull her trembling body into a comforting embrace. But that only made her cry even harder than before.

“You don't fool yourself anymore...you have to be strong. Without me, you will still have to live,” I said.

"Hug..why did you...hug...not keep your promise?" I really want to do it. But I don't have much time left.

“I'm sorry...it was my fault...but when I left...” My voice trailed off. I feel so tired She put a finger to my lips. But I thought I had to finish so I held her hand.

"Huh...don't say that again..." she said with a pleading look in her eyes.

“I have to say this because...because I may never have the chance to say it again.” My vision was beginning to blur. She helped me lie down on the bed again.

"You should rest now," she told me with a smile that I loved...I pulled her hand in mine and held it.

“It may sound selfish...but when I'm gone...you won't forget me...can you?” I begged her. She smiled at me.

“I will never forget you...now you can rest. Today is our graduation day... If you hadn't gotten sick first, we would have graduated together.” Her eyes looked sad.

“I love you...you are my first and...and will be my...last love.” I started to pant and my voice started to break. I'm so tired...my time must be running out.

"I love you too and will love you forever." She smiled at me again...and it was the last smile I got from her...

"Welcome home, Allen. How are you? You've met love..."

“Yes...Sir, when I return, would you please erase all memories of me in the human world?”

“Alright...do you know anything, Alain? No matter how polluted the human world is, But there is still something called love...this thing that keeps the world in balance. Let the world be polluted Some beautiful things have been left behind.”

"But then why does it have to be...painful...and when it hurts...and if it has to be painful...why is there love?"

“But no matter how painful it must be, Humans still choose to love, right? ...Because love can make us happy. Rather than bringing us pain..."

I've never understood humans before...I've never known love...I've never known that some part of humanity still exists. It came from love. Love that is the driving force for everything to move forward...even though it causes pain, I'm happy to love someone...happy to love. and happy to be loved Even if it's not fulfilled...as long as I get that love...I'll be very happy...do you think it's true?

Right now I'm sitting on a long chair in the front of the room. A room in the hospital, now in the room, that room was full of chaos. There were doctors and nurses who looked like they were in a hurry, walking in and out without stopping. I don't know how I ended up here...all I know is that my tears flowed out of nowhere...

I don't know how long I've been sitting here just giving...all I know is that my heart hurts like never before... But now the once chaotic room was quiet. This was completely different from ten minutes ago. I don't know if it's in the room. There's nothing in that room but...

I felt as if my heart was in that room. And now it's gone...to a place far, far away. I got up and walked into the room. I felt a chill as I looked at the hospital bed in the middle of the room. ...On the clean white bed, there lay the lifeless body of a young man...

I felt numb all over. I don't know why the tears that had dried up could not be stopped again. I only knew that I had lost something important. Now I sat down and started crying harder...why?...why? Why do I have to cry so hard...why? Who are these people? Who is he?...but why...

I suddenly felt familiar with him. It's as if we're very familiar with each other...as if this person is the person I...love...

We humans often choose to love...even if love causes pain.

Choose to love...even if you don't receive love in return.

Choose to love...even though that love may be unrequited.

Choose to be the one who loves...even though you may have to be the one who gets hurt.

And may you be loved...even though that love may not be perfect.

And when you think of love...you will never regret it...
