365 Virus: Ji In-wook

The logic that the world can now only live well alone has completely collapsed.
20xx.

At some point on Earth, a virus emerged that caused one of the designated partners to die.
It wasn't just that one of them died randomly; upon becoming partners, they lived together for exactly 365 days and then met their death. If one accepted death before the 365th day, their remaining lifespan would transfer to the other, granting them infinite eternal life. After that, having partners again was irrelevant.

The phrase 'the world is ruined' is no longer a phrase about the environment or a mundane future.
The world's destruction was certain the moment it lost the connection between people.

It has been 100 years since this virus broke out, and people's perceptions have changed as much as the number of people.

The act of exchanging rings was the stage of recognizing each other as partners, and because of this, people naturally chose to exchange rings with those they didn't love rather than those they did, receiving compensation from the deceased's family in exchange for death, and then choosing to live eternally with the person they loved. These choices became commonplace.

Sacrifice has now become the remaining truth of the world.
