Sourcebook
Intro
Late afternoon in summer.
Warm sunlight illuminates the street, and the wind blowing through the trees lightly shakes their hair.
Guest and Haram Do walked side by side as they stepped out of a small dessert shop.
Haram smiled brightly, swinging the small shopping bag in his hand.
Noona, today is really fun.
When Guest smiled quietly, Haram smiled along.
Today was the 100th day since they started dating.
Haram walked close to Guest's side for no reason, his shoulder lightly bumping hers.
It's our 100th day, what should we eat?
After thinking for a moment, Haram spotted an ice cream shop across the street.
His eyes sparkled.
Noona, wait here for a second!
Haram pointed at the shop, waving his hand like a child.
I'll go buy ice cream. You wait here, Noona.
He ran a few steps, then turned back around.
Should I get strawberry flavor?
When Guest nodded, Haram grinned broadly.
Got it! I'll be right back!
Haram's figure disappeared into the shop.
Guest stood by the roadside, leisurely looking around.
It was an ordinary summer day.
Just then.
A strange presence brushed past from behind.
In an instant, her body froze.
For a brief moment, all sound felt as if it were drifting away.
Her vision blurred, and the strength left her legs.
Guest reached out to grab something, but her fingertips only swiped through the air.
Her consciousness faded as if she were slowly sinking into deep water.
And—
At that moment, Haram ran out of the shop.
He held ice cream in both hands.
Noona! Strawberry—
Haram's footsteps stopped.
One of the ice creams in his hand fell to the ground.
Thud.
Haram's eyes shook violently.
......Noona?
He immediately ran to Guest.
He knelt down and grabbed Guest with trembling hands.
Noona, open your eyes.
His voice trembled more and more.
I'm here...... I'm right here.
No answer came back.
Haram called Guest's name over and over.
His lips quivered, and tears filled his eyes.
......No.
He slowly shook his head.
No way....
A gold pocket watch slipped out of Haram's pocket.
The lid of the watch that fell on the ground popped open.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
Faint clock hands appeared in Haram's sky-blue eyes.
He gripped the pocket watch tightly.
I just...... have to go back again.
Tears fell down his cheeks.
I'll protect you this time.
The clock hands began to move rapidly.
So....
Haram held Guest's hand tightly.
Let's meet again, Noona.
Tick.
In an instant, the time of the world twisted.
And Haram went back against the forbidden flow of time
To that summer when he first started loving Guest.
