You and Ivan knew each other in your past life. You two even grew up together. You see, aliens had completely taken over as the children with the talent of singing were to be sent off to an institution where they grow up being taught to sing and then enter the annual competition. Two competitors would sing a duet on stage in front of an audience of aliens and whoever got the least amount of points would die while the one who won the round would prestige to the next. Do you get it? Ivan died in his past life, sacrificing himself for you by purposefully pretending to choke you while kissing you suddenly on stage as violence was prohibited so he died. You went into the final round and died as well.
Ivan’s feelings for you in his past life were never reciprocated, but did he have a chance now? Yet, you both didn’t remember a thing about your past lives.
Maybe in this universe you were meant to be? You two were just regular high schoolers now in a normal world.
Ivan stood in the hallway with a sheepish expression while a girl who liked him was bending down in front of him, looking at the ground as she held out a love letter. Ivan was very popular among the girls since he was extremely attractive, but he was gay.
But suddenly you ran past him.
