i reborn 16 year old
---
My name is Eren.
Now, I have everything —
But back then, I didn't.
When I was in college,
I wanted to achieve something great in life.
Yes, I became successful…
But because of that, I lost people.
The ones I loved,
The ones who meant something to me — they're all gone.
It would be wrong to say I'm not happy now…
I have everything, yet there's no peace in my heart.
Still, what else can I do?
Life gives chances, and I took them.
But even with all this success,
People don't want to stay with me anymore.
"Sir, you need to go now — it's time."
"I understand… alright, let's go."
I was in my car that day,
Trusting someone who betrayed me —
They tampered with my car's brakes.
It was almost the end of my life.
My last wish was simple…
I wished I could go back to the past,
Back to the people I loved.
"Eren! Eren! What happened? Open your eyes!"
"Wait… where am I?"
"What's going on?"
"Did you forget me? I'm your friend — Arin!"
"My friend? Arin… what are you talking about?"
"We're in college right now!"
"Wait… what did you just say? College?"
"Hold on… did I really go back to the past?"

I mean, have I somehow traveled back in time?
Something in my mind felt like I was in an accident.
How did I come back to the past?
Then my friend asked me, "What happened to you?
Are you having some problem?"
I couldn't understand what to say.
Then my friend said that I love her,
but she ignores me.
I didn't understand anything—what did she mean?
I thought, nothing has entered my mind.
Then someone called my name.
When I looked back, it was the girl I had loved even in my college days.
She looked so beautiful, with her red hair and her eyes—
everyone would fall for her.
I remembered how, back in college, I used to propose to her.
She came to me and said, "You won't be okay.
I've told you so many times that this isn't the age for love."
I looked at her, and she said,
"Have you seen anyone else?"
I couldn't say anything.
It felt like my mouth had shut.
A question arose in my mind:
Have I… have I somehow traveled back to the past?
