Third Person's POV

He didn't think reincarnation was actually real nor did he really think about its existence other than that one odd phase he had back when he was in third grade and getting transported to another world was a huge deal on the books and illustrations he used to read.

So imagine his surprise when he wakes up and he's face to face with a ceiling he can't even imagining owning with his food delivery driver salary.

Yoo Jihun, an 18 year old south korean boy has his entire day, no, life planned out. After highschool he'd move out of his parents house and study in Seoul with the scholarship he acquires, with that he'll live on his own so he'll need money, so he started working as a delivery driver for a rundown tteokboki shop beside their house, saving half of it for himself and giving the other half to his parents.

He's the oldest child out of three, born from a pre-school teacher mother, Yoo Yeri and a humble cab driver father Yoo Hanjun. From the very early stage of his life, Yoo Jihun had understand he's role in life. With two younger sisters who are 5 to 6 years younger than him he knows he's the only one he's father and mother can rely on.

So he never complained.

Wash the dishes? Yes mom.

Clean the beds? Okay dad no worries.

Even when sometimes he doesn't really wanna do it, he still does it.

Change your sisters diapers? Sure, I'll do it. He'll pinch his nose and pray they don't pee on him.

Yoo Jihun knows his role as a filial son. His sisters are young and when they grow up he wants to assume the role of a dependable older brother they can rely on. He bit back his tongue as to not complain and stress out his poor mother and nod his head diligently as to relieve some pain from his fathers shoulder.

But just because he's a filial son doesn't mean he doesn't have his random bouts of teenage desires, he's actually great at being social and blending in with the crowd despite his mire mature demeanour.

"You're so mature for your age Jihun-ssi" his classmates would often tease him "Should we just start calling you Jihun-ahjussi" , pushing his shoulders with their elbows as they all snickers, Jihun would roll his eyes and smack them at the back of their heads and they'd chase around the small road, screaming and throwing their slippers at one another ti'll the sun goes down and their respective mothers or fathers call them home.

So yes, all in all Yoo Jihun had lived a relatively normal life. He had his own fair share of awkward crush moments and random cringe phases. Voice cracking and gangly limbs too long and too foreign for him to confidently move around, he's pretty tall for his age.

He had subjects he's good at and some he's bad at, sports he liked and food he hates.

So yes, it's relatively normal that when he got into that motorcycle accident after a random bus have appeared out of nowhere smash into he's side on a Monday that he'd assume he either will die or wake up surrounded by his very worried and mad parents and anxious sisters.
