A few days later.
The exam is getting closer and closer, and the things that need to be done are piling up.
So the relationship between the two changed from being friends to strangers.
Yeo-on now stayed up all night studying.
Then, the feeling of depression subsided a little.
No, I didn't think about it because of my busy schedule.
Yeo-on is studying hard like that.
Meanwhile, Kang Hyun-i is doing nothing.
All I do is lie on the wide bed and stare blankly. I don't eat, I don't study, I don't even go to the bathroom.
I'm not doing anything except that.
Not long after, Kang Hyun-i moved, got up from where he was lying, and sat on the bed.
rustle, rustle_
“Ha… Yeo-on must have had a hard time because of me….”
Kang Hyun-i was talking to himself, but it was something he couldn't understand.
Time passes again and it is the day of the CSAT.
Yeo-on was picked up by her parents in a car and entered the testing room on time.
On the other hand, Kang Hyun-i is sleeping peacefully.
And then, around lunchtime, Kang Hyun-i finally woke up.
I got out of bed and went into the bathroom to shower as if I was getting ready to go out.
After a while, Kang Hyun-i, who had finished showering, came out of the bathroom.
And after a long time, I went to the closet and chose clothes to wear.
After changing clothes, Kang Hyun-i opened the door and went out of the house.
Bam, bang_
Thud, thud_
Kang Hyun-i caught a taxi in front of her house and went somewhere.
In an unknown place.
Meanwhile, Yeo-on is taking a test in the testing room.
I studied a lot, but my skills are still a bit lacking.
So, one issue that has been holding me back for a long time.
In the end, Yeo-on decided to take the 1/5 chance.
So Yeo-on's test ended,
As soon as it was over, Yeo-on went out and waited outside.
I ran to my parents.
After that, the parents gave their daughter a hot pack that they had opened and warmed up in advance.
He gave me an even warmer hug.
Po-ok_
“Our daughter, you’ve worked hard. You’ve had a hard time.”
Yeo-on is grateful for the warm words and hugs of her parents.
Tears began to well up in my eyes, and eventually they flowed out.
And I am grateful to Yeo-on for raising me like this.
There were many difficult times, but I was so grateful for the support from everyone around me, and I cried as I said this.
Then, the tears that my parents had been holding back for Yeo-on began to well up.
Eventually, my parents also started to shed tears.
Just when she was almost calm, a man walked towards Yeo-on.
Jeokbuk, Jeokbuk_
“Kim Yeo-on.”
Yeo-on turned around to see the person calling her name.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a man standing in front of her.
That man was none other than Kang Hyun.
In Kang Hyun-yi's hand was a bouquet of flowers larger than the one her parents had given her.
Not long after, Kang Hyun-i came closer to Yeo-on,
He stretched out his hand holding a bouquet of flowers.
Ssuk_
“You worked hard, you’re taking the CSAT.”
Kang Hyun-i also said a word of encouragement like Yeo-on's parents,
For some reason, Yeo-on hugged Kang-hyeon tightly.
Kang Hyun-i looked a little surprised by Yeo-on's sudden hug.
Yeo-on's parents also looked surprised.
Yeo-on was holding Kang-hyeon for about two minutes.
After that, the strength in the arms that were holding me slowly relaxed and I stood looking at Kang Hyun's face.
and,
“Thank you for the congratulations. By the way, aren’t you taking the CSAT?”
“Ah... I decided not to take the CSAT.”
When Kang Hyun-i said that he decided not to take the CSATYeo-on's expression is
It was a somewhat puzzled expression.
Then, Kang Hyun-i told Yeo-on that nothing had happened and congratulated her again.
Not long after, Kang Hyun-i said he was going home and left Yeo-on.
Yeo-on went out to eat with her parents.
After so much time passed, Yeo-on and Kang-hyeon became adults.
But the two of them never contacted each other after meeting at the CSAT test center.
So, they pursued their dreams without knowing each other's circumstances.
Then one day, at a workplace where Yeo-on worked.
“Kim Sa-won!”
“Yes, sir.”
“No, what is this? The list is all messed up.”
“Ah... I’m sorry, sir. I’ll go and sort things out right now!”
Yeo-on returned to her seat and started doing the same thing she had done wrong.
Time passed quickly and it was already lunchtime.
Because there was too much work to do, there was no time to go to the company cafeteria, so Yeo-on had no choice but to
I had lunch at the office with a piece of bread and milk.
So lunch time is over and I'm about to get back to work.
Tiring_
Yeo-on's phone rang.
Yeo-on took her phone out of her pocket to check the caller.
Checking.
The sender was none other than Yeo-on's mother.
It was annoying for Yeo-on, but today was the day Yeo-on's father went to the hospital.
I couldn't help but pick up the phone to ask about my father's health.
“Hello? How are Mom and Dad?”
“Yeon-ah, that’s not important right now.
“What was the name of the boy who gave you a bouquet of flowers after your high school college entrance exam?”
“The name is Do···.”
Yeo-on's point of view_
Could it be that the name my mother is talking about is...
Is it Doganghyeon?
No, why is that kid's name suddenly coming up?
I haven't seen him or contacted him in a really long time.
But since no one knows what happens to people, I told my mom that I was Do Kang-hyeon.
Then, the mother said that it was true and that the name Do Kang-hyeon was written on the hospital room.
After hearing that story, I asked my mom a favor.
Are you the same age as me? Is your name really Do Kang-hyun?
Also, ask me what hurts and why I am hospitalized.
Not long after, I heard my mother on the other end of the phone.
I heard the sound of someone talking to a nurse.
There was nothing wrong with that conversation.
We were the same age, and our names matched, Do Kang-hyeon.
But, I also heard something even more shocking. Kang Hyun-i is currently receiving treatment,
It was said that he had a very rare disease called heart cancer.
When I heard that, I stopped what I was doing and the phone call and immediately checked my computer for heart cancer.
I searched for the disease by typing in a keyword.
Let's look into it. Heart cancer is a really rare disease.
There are treatments, but many treatments have not yet been invented.
At that moment, I took a deep breath and got up from where I was sitting.
After that, I suddenly asked the agent for half a day off, saying that something urgent had come up.
I ran away from work.
Author's point of view_
Yeo-on was really surprised and went out onto the road with a look of urgency on her face.
I quickly caught a taxi and headed to the hospital where Kang Hyun was.
Soon after, we arrived at the hospital and went to the floor and location that my mother had told me.
When I went to that place, the name tag really did have Do Kang-hyeon written on it.
Inside the slightly visible glass window, Do Kang-hyun was lying on the bed.
When Yeo-on saw that sight, tears welled up in her eyes and eventually she burst into tears.
"Sob...sob.."
From afar, Yeo-on's father tried to approach the crying Yeo-on.
Yeo-on's mother told her father not to go.
After some time, Yeo-on grabbed the doorknob of the hospital room,
After taking a deep sigh, he entered the hospital room with a smile that seemed brighter than the world.
Drumroll_
When he heard the sound of the hospital room door opening, Kang Hyun-i turned his head toward the door.
I thought it was a doctor or a nurse.
Yeo-on came in with a bright smile on her face.
Kang Hyun-i looked very surprised when he saw that.
I was so surprised that I stuttered as I tried to speak.
“You... you’re Kim Yeo-on? How on earth did you get here....”
“Hello… Do Kang-hyun.”
Kang Hyun-i looks at Yeo-on's face, no matter how hard he tries not to show it.
Visible tear stains and a bit of makeup on her hands.
“You... did you... cry?”
When Kang Hyun asked Yeo-on if she cried, Yeo-on did not answer.
I continued to stand there hesitating.
While standing like that, Kang Hyun-i came next to me and told me to sit down, and he lifted my body from where I was lying.
Moved aside.
Then, Yeo-on quietly sat down next to Kang-hyeon,
After I gathered my thoughts, I began to speak one by one.
“You... are you in a lot of pain? Are you receiving treatment well?”
“Oh, there’s nothing we can do about the current situation. We came to the hospital too late.”
Kang Hyun-i spoke to Yeo-on indifferently, trying not to make her feel uncomfortable.
At the end, I took a deep breath.
A deep sigh that everyone is taking a lot of today.
However, it is not a situation where it can be seen as strange to rest a lot.
“So what do your parents say?”
“My parents... don’t care about me.”
“You are busy with work,"Because they are people who have to manage."
“So you’re only supporting me with money······.”
When Kang Hyun-i finished speaking, Yeo-on looked dumbfounded.
Kang Hyun-iHe looked at me, and Kang Hyun-i felt a little uncomfortable with that gaze and nodded.
I turned it in the opposite direction.
The ward was quiet for about two minutes,
Yeo-on continued to laugh in disbelief.
After a while,
“So what did you do after graduating from school?”
“I... got a job at a company and I’m working there.”
“I just stayed at home.”
“Then I kept falling down,“I suddenly lost a lot of weight, so I came to the hospital.”
“But what company did you get a job at?”
“You dreamed of being a stage director.”
“How did you know that my dream was to be a stage director?”
“I never brought that up to you...”
Kang Hyun-i looked like he was having trouble saying something and looked very embarrassed.
On the contrary, Yeo-on had a dream that she had never told Kang-hyeon about.
It felt strange to say something so obvious and precise, and I started to distance myself from Kang Hyun-i a little.
Eventually, their conversation was cut off again, and the hospital room became quiet again.
“.. I’ll come often, so don’t get sick and be sure to get any treatment you can.”
“You understand?.. “
Kang Hyun-i nodded at Yeo-on's words, and Yeo-on got up from her seat, glanced at Kang Hyun-i once, and then left the hospital room.
