Taesan realized it in an instant.
Ha... fuck....
The illness from when he was little had come back.
It wasn’t just a simple cough.
His throat tasted like blood,
and it felt like if he coughed just one more time, blood would come up.
This couldn’t just be brushed off.
When he was little, Taesan had heart disease,
and he underwent a major surgery to receive a heart transplant.
Back then, the doctor should not have been that doctor...
Even the transplanted heart had heart disease.
A quack doctor transplanted it without knowing anything.
Taesan had only realized it now, after becoming a high school student.
In fact, he had recently felt his body growing weaker.
So he had thought it might relapse someday.
But he never imagined it would be on such a happy day today.
What am I supposed to say to Hana... ha...
Sighs kept slipping out, one after another—ha, ha—
He wanted to tell Hana face-to-face.
[Hana, are you free tomorrow?]
Isn’t it too late...? (23:56)
Ding
[Yep! Sounds good!]
Ha.. thank goodness...
[Let’s hang out tomorrow!]
[Sounds good!]
Still cute.. (bhuit bhuit)
Cough cough
Taesan’s coughing gradually grew louder.
Only now had life finally regained stability,
only now had he finally become happy,
and Taesan felt wronged and heartbroken, as if the world were turning its back on him.
He wasn’t the kind of person who normally felt like this,
but tears came.
Meeting Hana changed so many things.
Getting his reason to live back was the beginning of all the new changes.
After becoming a high school student and losing his entire family, he hadn’t wanted to live, but,
he decided to at least attend high school before dying, or not.
It was because he had promised his grandmother.
If only he hadn’t done that, he would have regretted it deeply.
Because he never got to meet Hana.
He had wanted to marry Hana,
he had thought they’d spend their whole lives together,
he had wanted to hold Hana in his arms for a lifetime,
but he never knew he’d collapse like this.
Tears never stopped falling from Taesan’s face.
With Hana....for life....marry.....I wanted to......
