[Short Story] In the Mood for Love

They say that everyone has their own version of life. Whether it's short or long, life's infinity. Perhaps we haven't thought about it, the infinity. Isn't it so simple yet so difficult? Someone once said life is splendid. It was truly difficult.
When I look back on my life, I realize that I have not lived up to the word ‘brilliant’.
"How was the performance?"
"It felt good, sweet and..."

Sometimes, even when things are going well, there are times when things come to a halt. This isn't the first time that a dance I was dancing well has suddenly stopped at a very familiar donjak. While dancing, I felt a sense of relief as the stress was relieved, but at some point, I felt a "squeak..." and cried as if something had exploded out of me.
"Haa.. This isn't it, but here we go again."
"What on earth is the correct answer.."

An injury forced me to give up judo, a sport I loved. If it weren't for this injury, I would be busily training for the World Championships, just around the corner. But I left the athletes' village, sat on the bus, put on my earphones, and quietly stared outside, without any music playing. It felt strange to be watching the athletes run and train early in the morning, still a short distance from Seomsuchon. The emptiness that comes when something is gone is terrifying.

Again, a strange feeling came over me. This small room seemed strangely large. It wasn't a side effect of the medication, or something. At first, I thought I was going crazy. The once cramped room felt strangely spacious and airy. The stuffiness and cramped space I'd felt before seemed to have vanished. This incident must have started when I, possessed, began to turn off the writing. It all started with writing that only I could see.
"Oh, haha, there was a typo."

Perhaps I've set up the formula wrong. It's strange that setting up a formula like this is a mistake in the first place. It's puzzling why a problem that used to work so well isn't solving. I'd suddenly burst into rage and yell at myself, but then, exhausted, I'd just sit there, speechless. Was this always this hard? I can't even remember the formula anymore. Still, I have to keep trying. I can't live like this forever.
"It'll be what it is, I guess (snickers)"

While everyone else struggled to find the flower of life, I did nothing. My method was to blindly wait until the right moment arrived. I don't quite understand why happiness must be so difficult to find. That doesn't mean it's wrong. It's just that waiting isn't right for me. I may realize it later than anyone else, but I believe this is the right way. Adults say, "If you don't put in the effort, you won't find it, you won't succeed." I just want to break those people's wrong ways. What's the point of trying? In conclusion.Because nothing can be achieved just by “trying hard.”
