“It seems like memories work that way. Rather than good memories, only memories of things I couldn’t do, things I regret, and things I apologized for come to mind.”
A thin trembling voice. Eunha clenched her fist slightly.
“Today’s incident might be like that.”
A colleague who died in front of her today.
If she had known, she would have taken the lead instead of him back then. If she had known, she wouldn’t scold him for oversleeping this morning. If she had known…
“Sorry.”
Eunha offered a brief apology.
“It’s pathetic, right? As you said, I know it’s not my fault.”
Lee Jun lifted his head slightly to look at Eunha. Eunha, keeping her gaze fixed straight ahead, added nonchalantly,
“As long as we’re in this line of work, I know it’s not strange for anyone to die at any time.”
“…….”
“I didn’t want to show this side of me. Keep it a secret from the others. If the squad leader is in this state, morale will die.”
“Eunha.”
Lee Jun, who had been quietly listening to Eunha’s story, suddenly pursed his lips.
“I don’t think you’re pathetic.”
“…….”
“Rather, I’ve always thought I want to be like you. Always.”
Eunha slowly turned her gaze towards Lee Jun. With his head still raised towards the sky, Lee Jun opened his mouth in a subdued tone.
“Commander-nim said it. You’re the most suitable vessel among us for a Hunter. Agree. Eunha, you seem strong, unshaken no matter what happens, and always run forward looking ahead.”
“Do you still think that way now?”
Eunha asked suddenly. A faint smile appeared on Lee Jun’s face as he gazed at the sky.
“…No.”
Lee Jun, still with his gaze fixed on the sky, spoke slowly.
“Now, well…… Actually, I think you might not be a person suited for a Hunter.”
“…….”
“In this line of work, you can’t avoid death. There will likely be situations where you witness a colleague dying in front of you, like today. Every time, Eunha, you’ll probably shake like today, feel sad, and regret. Right?”
“I can’t deny that.”
At Eunha’s honest response, Lee Jun chuckled softly. Then, he slowly shifted his gaze from the sky to Eunha.
“Still, I want to be like you.”
As their eyes met, the moon, hidden behind the clouds, revealed itself, brightly illuminating both of their faces.
“Please stay as you are now in the future too. It’s not pathetic at all. Rather…”
…Rather? Eunha blinked.
“Uh, anyway.”
Lee Jun cleared his throat pretentiously, then got up from his seat.
“I like you as you are now. Uh, no, I mean…”
Talking to himself and embarrassing himself, Eunha burst into a soft laugh without realizing it.
“What are you trying to say?”
“…I just.”
After hesitating for a moment, Lee Jun stopped his abrupt movements and stared at Eunha.
“Because you’re a Hunter, and because you’re a squad leader, I hope you don’t carry a heavy burden. When you’re sad, feel free to be sad, and well, laugh like just now… I hope you do that.”
In the moonlit winter wind, which didn’t feel as cold as before, Eunha slightly moistened her lips.
“…….”
When Eunha gave a faint smile, a crimson lantern lit up near the tent.
“What are you two whispering about over there?”
“Baek Yijun, is that you again?!”
“Dead Son Myungjin will come running with his eyes wide open!”
Colleagues, thought to be sleeping, poked their heads out and scrutinized the two.
“Oh no! Nothing like that!”
Lee Jun shouted with a face as red as a beet. Watching his reaction, a faint smile appeared on Eunha’s lips.
“I, I just saw Eunha alone outside…!”
“Baek Yijun.”
As Lee Jun, red-faced like a beet, was about to briskly return to the tent, Eunha lightly grabbed him.
“Thank you.”
“…Uh.”
Lee Jun, whose clothes were caught by Eunha, stiffened in place.
Squeak─
Whistling sounds echoed around. Lee Jun turned his head abruptly, as if asking when this happened, and rushed towards the tent.
Amidst the commotion, other colleagues began to wake up one by one. The dim surroundings were warmly tinted with crimson light.
Just before returning to the tent, Eunha looked up at the sky. Stars were scattered across the pitch-black night sky, just like yesterday.
Thinking about it, it was the same sky as yesterday.
Perhaps it would be the same tomorrow, Eunha thought.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
