In Seob.

Go through the door over there first.

Father.

I'll follow right away. Go ahead.

Do you think you can be running away forever?

Right.

So I'm not running away now and

I'm going to try my best.

What memory is so meaningful to you that you're trying to confront God?

I can't say.

I lost my memory and

when that memory surfaced again,

I had left behind many things more precious

than I thought.

Don't look at us pitifully

as if you've realized something by yourself.

That you chose the reaper's life was also your own decision.

But do you know this?

Before we became reapers,

we had the same abilities as those we are chasing when we existed.

Because of an undesirable power, whether we are destroyed or

we lose all of our memories and do our duty as grim reapers,

it's pitiful because we have no other choices but the two.

It doesn't mean you're pitiful.

I am not curious.

Cut the talking about nonsense.

Okay.

Then now...

This will be the final mentoring.

Are you okay with that?

It's a little bit more different

than before.

Father!

Father, what is this?

This will be my last gift.

Don't hide from now on.

Do everything you want to do.

Be happy, all right?

Perhaps

is this

denial? Is that what you call that feeling?

Sunbaenim, don't say...

Don't be weak.

You may end up like me if you are.

Throw away your feelings.

Last mentoring.

Don't be like me.

What exactly is it that you wanted to protect

to that extent?

In the end, this was your choice.

I'm telling you this for your own good.

If a reaper takes all the talent out of a capable person...

the body can't handle it and they swiftly perish forever. You know that?

Don't do something you may regret.

Even if his choice of your fate may have saved you,

do you know that it was a choice

that he himself would cease to exist forever?

N-No, what are you trying to say?

This is the second gift out of a few gifts that Dad gave. I'm sorry that I'm giving you this too late.

I promise to buy this toy you like later.

It's fine.

No...

I know that you really like all these toys.

Don't hide from now on.

Do everything you want to do. Be happy.

Understand?

♬ Like a hazy memory ♬

Dad...

♬ I can’t even hold on to it ♬

Dad...

Dad! Dad! ♬ Oh, just for my love ♬

♬ I am changing ♬

♬ Oh, just for my love I will be born again ♬

♬ At a time I should be hating the world ♬

♬ I think of you and smile ♬

No, wait a moment.

How can a human remember again

the memories that God already erased?

What should we do?

What? What do you mean?

He's just a human now.

Are you doing this on purpose knowing what the outcome will be?

Just... think of it as God's considerate care.

It seems like a choice that is unlike you

What does a "choice unlike me" mean?

Huh?

Both this kid remembering Myeong Woon and Myeong Woon's memory coming back, it's out of God's control.

The final choice wasn't made by me. It was his.

God is not perfect.

Also, even without you here, my head hurts a lot.

Then,

are you saying that a mere human's will overtook God's power?

What are you doing right now?

What is it?

Why don't we remember anything?

Is our choice made of our own free will

or by God forcing us?

Why are you also being like this? Why?

Something...

I feel like I lost something very meaningful to me.

Alright. God is a very selfish being.

Right?

Well, what is he that he destroys humans' lives as he pleases because he has some power

and even completely wipes out their existence from the earth?

- Alsoㅡ - Alright, alright.

Also, he wipes out the memories of people with abilities and lets them work a lot.

Are you satisfied now?

Is there no way to

regain our memories?

Memories are pretty precious to humans, right?

However, to us, it's just something to block our path.

Honestly, gods are afraid of people's memories.

Therefore, to prevent that scary and complicated thing,

we destroy the humans' souls, erase their memories...

Well, we just choose that method.

Here, this is my answer to your question.

If you say the choice is made by God's forcing us, well then I have nothing more to say. However...

That you drank this tea in the past was your choice.

Also, this time again, it will be your choice, too, right?

What are you going to do now?

Anyway, we solved one problem and now we have one last problem left.

What are you doing? Aren't you going to go quickly?!

I'll follow your order.

You're putting me in a bad mood already in the morning.

Hey! Why are you hanging around in front of someone's house ever since early morning?

Did you come to beg for food?

Do you want to buy an item?

Hurry up and get lost. If you show up here again, I won't be nice.

Aigoo...

It's confining, isn't it?

A little bit.

However,

we have to keep staying here, right?

I'm sorry.

However, this is probably the safest place for the time being.

You don't have to be sorry.

It's much better than getting killed by weird people.

In Seob

In Seob!

Are you alright?

I'm better now.

Where are you right now?

Even if he retired, he is still God.

I think it's going to be hard to continue going and solving it ourselves.

I understand.

I'm going to go meet him myself.

How about we all do it ourselves?

Doesn't anyone want to do it?

That old man is not just an old man. He's called a retired god.

If we bother him carelessly, and he becomes angry, how are we going to face the consequences?

You said he retired. How can we not at least do that much?

How long are we going to just stay here beating a dead horse?

First, let's report it to the higher-up. He should say something.

Until he does, how about we wait calmly.

Aigoo, seriously. You're so impatient. All of you.

Why are you so talkative?

How come not one of you can do their job right?

One. There should properly be at least one. Isn't there?

Aigoo... It's pointless.

I'm here, Sunbae-nim.

I know you're in here, Sunbae.

If you don't open the door, I will break it down.

Seriously...

That scared me!

Oh my goodness, you're so loud. There's a bell here. Can't you see it?

Why are you beating it up!?

What is this?

This is a bell? Why is it so small? You should've made it bigger.

Should I buy you a bigger one?

Hey! Didn't you come here because you needed to say something to me?

You scared me.

What's wrong with you? I'm just simply having a cup of tea with a sunbae I respect.

If you keep acting like that, I'm going to be disappointed.

Disappointed? Bull-crap.

Go home, I did something so they won't find you easily.

Here!

You should at least have some rice wine and then leave instead of tea.

It's nice. It also reminds me of the olden days.

Sunbaenim said "God's considerate care."

It's suddenly bothering me a lot.

Did I say that?

Your "God's considerate care"

how far does it go?

What are you doing to me?!

I'm sorry, Sunbae-nim.

I've been getting interested in them lately.

They're probably home. No one will be in your way for a while so go finish up.

Yes, I understand.

- Yes. - Yes.

Are you sure this place is safe?

Since that's what Ahjussi said, as of right now, it should be fine.

Thanks, 101.

Well, it was nothing.

Ahjussi told me the reason all my memories were erased

was my choice.

This bracelet was the beginning of everything.

I don't remember anything.

So in the past, you were like them.

It doesn't matter if he was or was not the same as them.

In any case, he isn't like that now.

Alright.

It's probably not your fault.

Just like how my ability is neither

my father's nor my fault.

Father? Whose father?

It's alright as long as someone remembers.

It's alright as long as I remember my father.

But still,

because of my dad, I can remember.

I'm envious of you, who remembers something that precious.

However, I willingly erased my precious memories myself.

Why did I do that?

It's an honor to finally meet you,

Sunbae-nim.

However,

is your last hiding place here?

I would like you to let us go quietly.

I'll be thankful if you follow us without any troubles.

You know that I can't do that.

This is as far as my respect for you goes.

Is this what you are doing?

This time I too borrowed some time ability and came.

This is what God was talking about, a big headache.

My boss said to just bring it,

but within your capacity for time, your relationship is too dangerous.

In this case, I think it's best to just to make her vanish from here.

Please don't resent us too much.

Oh...

I see it's your choice.

I'm sorry, Sunbaenim.

However, I also need to protect my time.

I suppose so.

But that's not the most important.

If you don't want to see your people all vanish, I suggest you hurry and go now.

Joon Woo...

What's this now?

Didn't you tell me you that "God's considerate care" was bothering you the most recently?

Yes.

Humans, themselves, don't need our consideration.

We just need to make them maintain their equilibrium.

Will you listen once to what I have to say?

Yes.

Why I erased Joon Woo's memory and

why I took care of the bracelet until Joon Woo and that young lady met again.

Lastly letting them stay in this time.

This is exactly in my code of conduct as "God's considerate care."

That bracelet was a link of fate which was going to make them meet again.

It's also a Pandora's box that makes them face the terrible memories of the past.

Whether they would face their memories is another choice for them.

Seon Ah...

♬ While you gently comfort pitiful me ♬

♬ In front of you, who sheltered me. ♬

♬ In my world which has stopped, putting on a sunny expression ♬

I sometimes wish time wouldn't flow on.

Those things come into my mind.

Then those drawings will stay beautiful.

♬ In the midst of a maze, I'm lost. ♬

♬ Wandering, everyone can't get out. ♬

But if time was stopped,

you would be alone inside that time.

And without memory to treasure being together, don't you think

it would be sad?

I don't think the world would be a fun place.

True, it would be like that.

♬ Even the fluttering of my beating heart is calmed. ♬

This bracelet was given by my grandmother after her death.

When I was young, my grandmother used to tell me a story.

What is fun about this bracelet is that there is a legend inside.

A legend?

This bracelet would contain the memory of its chosen humans' fate forever.

No matter how many years have past, eternally.

It's romantic huh.

♬ In my world which has stopped. ♬

If that fate turns into a bad thing, it would be big deal.

♬ ...my heart is swirling. ♬

♬ Oh, in my confused mind. ♬

Our fate will be filled with happy memories.

Like this moment.

♬ Wandering, everyone can't get out. ♬

♬ The last step will be stopped. ♬

♬ If it were you, where would you be by now? ♬

♬ Not needing anything. ♬

♫ Always me ♫

♫ Looking for me ♫

♫ How did I get here ♫

♬ Is that maze inside my heart empty? ♬

♫ You're not letting go ♫

♫ Your last image in front of me ♫

♫ Making it hard for me to go ♫

♬ The last step is stopped. ♬

Joon Woo, that kid, was a truly excellent grim reaper.

He was the one I treasured most among my grim reapers.

You worked hard.

So that was why I did that?

The kid falling in love with a human, I disapproved very much.

But I never knew how cruel the power of destiny would be.

Even as God, I didn't know then what would happen.

She doesn't know I'm a grim reaper.

Also she doesn't have a special power.

It's just a relationship between one person and another.

Is there something wrong with it?

Do you think I made you into a grim reaper to fall in love?

Wake up, kid. Feelings are a luxury for grim reapers.

Who said I wanted to be a grim reaper?

Everything was your choice, done by you!

Just because I love a human,

what exactly is the problem for you, God?!

What if that human you love has a special power?

What are you going to do then?!

Being a grim reaper is like that.

There may be a moment where you must

make someone you love vanish with your own two hands.

If that moment arose, could you do such a thing?

Could you make the person you love vanish with your own hands!?

A grim reaper can't get entangled in this human world.

Don't get in too deep in emotional feelings, huh.

There may be a moment where you must

make someone you love vanish with your own two hands.

Can you make someone you love vanish with your own hands?

No, you can't, sunbaenim.

Don't stop me.

What are you doing!?

Please wait. I knew everything.

I'm telling you I knew this lady has the power to stop time,

so please give one last chance.

This lady didn't use her power to stop time in the wrong way.

It's not by her choice that she has this power.

Whether she wanted it or not, she still has the power.

For any reason, if she used her power, it would be her choice.

And that choice would come with consequences.

It's her choice and responsibility.

Cutting all these kinds of fates and mediating conflicts

is my job in this time! So is your job in your time!

Please give one last chance!

Please give her one last chance. If you do, she'll never use her power again.

Make me vanish instead.

I'll absorb her power, so make me vanish instead!

You're an idiot. I'm disappointed in you.

Joon Woo, don't be tormented because of me.

I have resentment towards you.

I being a grim reaper,

I'm feeling resentment too.

So right now, just take me away.

There is no chance she, who vanished, would be reincarnated.

Without her, my eternal life means nothing.

You need to make him vanish right now as a punishment for his harming his colleagues.

Wait outside for a moment.

You want to abandon being a grim reaper.

You harmed your colleagues but I can't make you vanish.

You always do whatever you want.

Killing someone,

saving someone also.

In the beginning, did I really have a choice?

Do whatever you wish.

In return, this hellish memory

erase it please.

You're seeking to have your memory erased.

Living with these memories, I cannot go on.

A human is memory. Ha...

What is destiny and what is memory

were meaningless to me who had lived eternally.

Even I as God, I couldn't control those two's destiny.

That bracelet has her eternal fate intertwined.

That's how she could be reincarnated.

That bracelet also has their happy memories and

all sad memories together.

Knowing the truth, I wanted to do the right thing for my mistake.

At that kid's request, I erased his memory and waited together with him

until the lady, the love of his life returned.

I wanted to reunite them together.

If I lent him my power of stopping time, inside the time stopped,

I thought they would meet once again.

Then what about the bracelet?

I even don't know where it came from since it's outside our powers.

Because of that, they could meet sooner.

But contrarily, they must face their past pain too.

That's why I tried to hide that bracelet.

Yes.

I understand the whole situation.

However, Sunbaenim, my question is about the meaning of your consideration.

Sunbae has broken the rules.

For sure you have made a mistake.

Those two who were outside the providence of God...

Those two should be destroyed.

You crossed over something you shouldn't have done.

You dare to defy God's power, you pitifully mere human!

Sunbae-nim.

I'll be seeing you a little later. Today, for now, stop at this point.

Can you give them a little more time?

Sunbae, are you going to be like this to the end?

For today, I'll leave for a short time.

However, you can't stop me from making them vanish.

You know well.

What are you doing? Get up.

Indeed, what have I gotten to know in the passing time?

♫ How did this happen again? ♫

Again the time back, her warmth and aura...

♫ Everything freezes in an instant, ♫

Becoming her own scent...

She was able to come back to me again.

♫ It's over you that the silence is broken and ♫

Also...

The reason I'm still only watching her over there...

♫ I pretend to be calm but ♫

My time is still...

pointing at her over there.

♫ It's a task which I absolutely hate doing to each other ♫

♫ It's over you that I say something contrary to how I feel ♫

♫ It's over you if it might be you ♫

♫ as sharp as this ♫

Joon Woo.

♫ I say something which causes pain ♫

Okay.

Your memory came back?

♫ Wherever you are will be I can be found ♫

The memory of humans, God's considerate care.

♫ Please stop the time at our splendid night ♫

Even the restraint of destiny.

All of them.

But the ability of those two and the bracelet

must be dangerous enough to mess up the world.

♫ You are my all ♫

Choice is always followed by responsibility as a consequence,

whether it's due to your own choice or someone else's choice.

I'll never let it slide when someone breaks a rule.

I'm going to make them vanish.
