Everyday Mayday

"No matter how much I think about it, it just won't work. If I keep going like this, I'll only be a burden to you all."

Al pushed Byungchan away and left. It wasn't that he disliked Byungchan, but it made no sense for him to be connected to him. It was obvious that it would be painful for both of them. Al consoled himself and went home.

Al returned to the empty room, feeling exhausted, but decided to take a shower and lie down comfortably to gather his thoughts.

The disease he had was treatable, but required very expensive surgery. He didn't have the money for treatment, but even if he did, he wouldn't be able to receive treatment under the national code management system. That part bothered him. Was he subject to national code management because he was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage? Could the government arbitrarily deprive someone like him of the right to receive treatment without parents? Unlike when he was with Chan, Al was getting angrier and more resentful, and he was becoming more and more miserable. Then, a text message was sent to Al. It was Chan.



'What's new? What could it be? Tomorrow is my last free day...and I'll be admitted to the funeral home on Sunday...I don't have time anymore, so what if I become a burden to my children?'

Al had trouble falling asleep.
