Chapter Text
My name is Han Yoojin.
I passed away because I committed suicide not too long after I got the injury on my legs. I was 28 years old when I died, I guess?
Nothing was going right ever since the Dungeon Break occurred and my brother chose to leave me behind. No matter what I said, no matter how hard I tried to reach him, I was unable to figure out the reason why would my brother do it. Major depression kicked in and I convinced myself as I pointed the kitchen knife to my body.
The last thing I saw was the beautiful moonlight at night as I was lying on the pool of my own blood at my kitchen’s cold floor.
Then, I wake up in another body as a child next time.
Please Gods above, she demands the refund...
She doesn’t ask for this!
Why would she wake up again in another body instead when what she wanted was only death?
Han Yoojin woke up 5 years in the future. She was supposed to be 33 years old this year, but she was stuck in the body of a 5 years old little girl instead. She was an orphan and her name was, surprisingly, Yoojin as well.
More precisely, her name was Yoo Jin-Ah. From what she had investigated after looking through the archives in the owner of the orphanage’s library and from what she had overheard from the Nuns, she was found in front of the Church.
Oh, she might remind you that the Church had the orphanage, nursery, and school as well.
Back to the main topics. She didn’t know who were her parents. What she knew about the owner of this body was only her name, her age, and the fact that she was abandoned in front of the Church’s front gate at night after the mass under the heavy rain. The Nuns heard someone knocking the door and they opened the door. They were surprised to find the wooden crib with a baby instead. They never found who was the person, the one who had knocked the door and put her in front of the Church’s front door.
Every month the Church would get the donation under her name with an anonymous prior notice telling the Church to use some of the money for Yoo Jin-Ah’s daily necessity after they split the money. There was a warning as well to not abuse or take advantage the donation, unless they wanted to be thrown into the jail. Scarily enough it had happened to three of greedy people who had tried to steal the money and bad things always happened to them, either they would get into an accident or would get thrown into the jail as the warning promised.
Rolling the ball in her hands, Yoo Jin-Ah idly wondered about her new life.
Sure, she was mad. Because what was the point of continue living when you wanted nothing to do with it? When what you wanted was only to die?
Now she thought back of it...
Perhaps, she didn’t really want to die, but she was tired.
Here, as Yoo Jin-Ah, she could start the new life.
Whatever she did, it would not taint Han Yoohyun’s reputation further.
It was worth try.
Probably.
The ball in her hands rolled out of her reach and she trotted to get it back “Ah!”.
But she bumped into someone’s leg. That someone grabbed the ball and put it into her hands. Looking up, her eyes shook before she bowed her head.
“Thank you, Ahjussi”.
He ruffled her head and smiled thinly “Be careful”.
Outside, she smiled innocently (which looking cute, mind you) as she holds the ball in her hands.
Inside, she panicked as her heartbeat rocketed. She knew this man. She had a crush on him, after all.
“What is Song Taewon-Ssi doing here???”.
One of the Nuns, Sister Maria called out as she approached her “Jin-Ah-yah! Here you are!”.
She smiled brightly at her Savior “Sister!”.
Wrapping her arms around her legs, she rubbed her face on her skirt before pointing at Song Taewon, blabbering “Sister, who is that Ahjussi? I never saw him before”.
“Hush, it’s not polite to point at someone using your finger like that”, Sister Maria chided her before she announced brightly and encouraged Yoo Jin-Ah to introduce herself properly “He is Song Taewon-Ssi. Greet him properly, Jin-Ah-yah. He’s going to adopt you”.
Yoo Jin-Ah tilted her head in a cute way “???”.
Sister Maria beamed “He’s going to be your Father”.
Yoo Jin-Ah made a shocked pikachu face “!!!”.
Thinking that the little girl was confused and overwhelmed, Sister Maria explained patiently “He’s going to be your family. Jin-Ah-yah, you’re not alone anymore and you won’t feel lonely anymore”.
“I know what’s the meaning of it! No need to explain it out loud like this! Who said that I’m feeling lonely and alone??? Am not!”.
Well, the past would beg to differ but that was it.
Looking at the owner of the big calloused hand who ruffled her head, she saw Song Taewon smiled “Nice to meet you, Jin-Ah-yah”.
Looking at his smile and feeling the warmth of his hand which she had thought she would never get anymore, she cried (startling the adults in the process) and smiled tearily “Nice to meet you, Appa”.
