I Hate the Heroine (3)
Thud-
Opening the door and stepping outside, something fell onto my head with a thud.
Wondering what it was, I picked it up to see a pink petal. I looked up at the sky.
"...Ah."
It was unmistakably spring. Pink petals danced in the wind, adorning the sky.
Like a pouring rain, but gentle. I sneezed from the pollen tickling my ...

"Aaaargh..."
The belated realization hit me like a truck, making my vision spin.
A heroine, and the main heroine at that.
So, does that mean I have to...date the protagonist of this novel?
"No way."
Even though I'm in a woman's body, I'm a man. How can I date a man? I'd rather bite my tongue and die.
...Even so, the position of ...

"Ah."
The first thing I uttered upon opening my eyes was a questioning sound. Why am I awake? It's not like I laid down to sleep, nor did I collapse while doing something.
My mind is hazy as if I just woke up, even though I didn't sleep. I don't know why I feel this way. I press hard on my temples, and as my mind clears, I finally realize the strangene...

"What is this… there should be something, there has to be something…"
He muttered in a daze, as if unable to believe the reality before his eyes.
Of course, he had considered that what he was looking for might not necessarily be here.
But even so, this scene filled only with empty walls was far too cruel for him, who had been running with...

Having seen the despairing words written on the pillar, Agent Henry collapsed there, seemingly in a daze.
He managed to pull himself together and resumed exploring the shopping mall.
Of course, he had no idea how much time had passed.
All the electronic devices he had when he entered this place had run out of battery.
It had been too lo...

It's been roughly a few weeks since I came here.
Of course, this only speaks to the absolute value of time.
Let's forget about calculating exactly how much time has passed, and simply explain how slow the flow of time felt to me.
Because, realistically, I should already be in a nursing home, collecting my national pension.

If you were to ask Arthur, the Junior Researcher, about Sophia, the Senior Researcher,
He would probably defend his Seonbae, saying that she was mischievous but still a good person.
In a way, that wasn't entirely wrong.
Because she didn't show her emotions well, she was often misunderstood as a cold person,
But the Seonbae he knew was, a...

Normally, Site-17 would be so brightly lit that it was hard to tell night from day, with people bustling about everywhere.

There are things you only realize after losing them.
Like the regret over a past lover, or the longing for deceased parents.
These feelings that belatedly arrive after something is gone often leave a person's heart heavy, along with the thought of why they couldn't have realized it before losing it.
In my case, it was the longing for the hometown I had left....
