In a world where families were lost, friends were lost, and everything was being lost, the world turned upside down, and someone cherished their family more than their own life. Someone else discarded even their family, hoping only for their own survival.
On days when someone died, wails of grief filled the air. The mourning cries for the death of a family member, a friend, a relative were heartbreakingly sad.
That’s why Cheon Shin-woo hated all of it.
He hated his younger sibling. At 14, it was hard enough to take care of oneself, yet he had to care for a 7-year-old just because they were siblings in that chaotic mess.
He wished they would just disappear.
He would have been more comfortable if they had died like Mom and Dad.
The thoughts that sometimes crossed his mind engulfed him from head to toe. He resented his younger sibling who did nothing but cry, no matter how much he tried to console them.
He disliked the people who hinted that the crying might attract monsters.
He hated the fact that he had to be wary even though he wasn’t at fault, and that he had to take care of someone else when he himself was still in need of care.
His sibling became a burden day by day.
Death and screams became more vivid by the day, and people no longer waited for someone to rescue them.
They formed teams to gather food, maintain security, and made desperate efforts to survive.
At 14, he was no exception to being drafted, as everyone struggled to survive, regardless of being young.
Cheon Shin-woo thought it was a relief to be separated from his sibling.
Then, people known as “awakeners” appeared.
Finally, humanity was able to fight back.
But the awakeners were still few in number.
On a day when he had to push people to the brink and turn a blind eye to death.
“What? Shin-a has disappeared?”
Cheon Shin-woo had to hear such shocking news.
It was the day he was assigned to the food team.
He was lucky to return safely without any incident and brought in preserved food with a decent shelf life.
It was supposed to be a very lucky day.
“This, crazy…”
Where on earth would a 7-year-old kid wander off to without fear?
He would have been more comfortable if they were dead, if they had disappeared, if they had never existed.
The thoughts he always had started to weigh him down.
“Why didn’t you die with Mom and Dad, why did you survive?”
He never truly wished for his sibling’s death or disappearance.
If his sibling died, he would be left alone. The thought scared him.
He pushed away those trying to stop him and began searching for his sibling, shouting “Shin-a!” despite the risk of attracting monsters.
Darkness would soon fall completely. He had to find them before then.
Shin-a had stopped speaking since the moment their parents died. The child, rescued from under the bodies of their brutally murdered parents, could no longer speak.
“Cheon Shin-woo! Damn it, where did you go!”
As the day darkened, he shouted as if screaming. A low, rumbling sound came from somewhere.
Cheon Shin-woo’s body stiffened. Beyond the faint light of the setting sun, a shadow approached with a thump, thump.
A giant mantis. It was questionable to even call it a mantis, as it shook its head back and forth.
“Ah. Ah…”
He had seen it from afar a few times, but it was his first time facing it directly. His legs, frozen like stone, would not move.
Cheon Shin-woo thought, if only Shin-a hadn’t disappeared, if he hadn’t come to find them, if he hadn’t cared whether they lived or died, would he not have encountered this monster?
No, if only Shin-a hadn’t disappeared.
The monster raised its arm. Cheon Shin-woo closed his eyes, anticipating the terrible pain to come.
“……!”
But nothing happened. The monster screamed in agony. That voice was dreadful.
When he opened his eyes, a small girl was still standing there, arms outstretched, as if protecting him.
“…Shin, ah?”
Where she found the courage, the little one threw herself at the monster. Thanks to her, the monster, having fallen over, struggled to get up.
“Oh, brother. Don’t go. I hate it, don’t leave Shin-a. Ah, no. Brother, you can’t…”
The child cried and spoke. The monster got up.
The monster, whose outstretched arms might barely reach two meters, was small in size. It felt so large just moments ago, but it was small enough to be toppled by a child’s body slam.
“Ah, ah. Shin, Shin-a.”
Trembling and stuttering, the child stood in front of the monster, not wanting to lose the only family left. This fact tormented Cheon Shin-woo.
“No, I hate it. Brother, if you leave Shin-a, you can’t. You can’t, brother…”
The child, crying profusely and unclear in speech, said so, even as the monster regained its balance and raised its limbs threateningly.
“I won’t die, won’t go! Damn, I must be crazy!”
Cheon Shin-woo, barely standing, picked up a stone from the ground. Despite throwing it with considerable force, the monster seemed unaffected, merely turning its head with a jerk.
Seemingly pondering over its two preys, it showed only a deep, searching intent.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
