Love is better than pain
31. Miracles happen when I'm with you.
On a hospital bed, late afternoon, the sun was streaming through the window.
After completing her second round of chemotherapy, Siyeon sat next to Myeongho, her body weary.
The injection marks were clear on my arm, and the inside of my mouth was so sore that I had difficulty speaking properly.
She was still smiling beautifully.
강시연
“…I always feel like I’m being saved by Myeongho.”
It was a small voice. Myungho tilted his head and looked at Siyeon. Siyeon looked at him quietly and continued speaking.
강시연
“It was like that in China, and it was like that in Korea… and it’s been like that until this very moment.”
디에잇(명호)
"...."
강시연
“You are truly… my savior.”
At those words, Myeongho silently held Siyeon's hand tightly.
디에잇(명호)
“…So now, you are holding on and not giving up even inside this hospital.
디에잇(명호)
Because we're together..."
At those short, firm words, Siyeon met his eyes and smiled slightly.
강시연
"Oh, right..
강시연
...The concert is coming soon, right? Cheer up. I'll be watching intently from here."
디에잇(명호)
"Thank you. Please watch my stage. I work hard for the fans, and for you."
강시연
“Yeah, me too… Thank you so much.”
After that, Myeongho picked up the spoon and fed Siyeon the porridge. Silently and carefully.
But that feeling was clearer than the word love.

And—the day of the concert.
The hospital room lights were dimmed, and Seventeen's performance began on the TV screen amidst countless lights and cheers.
Siyeon quietly hugged the blanket and stared at the online streaming monitor.
Myungho appeared.
Under the dazzling lights, he completely dominated the stage.
They sang live, danced with precise angles and dynamics, and greeted fans from time to time.
강시연
“…so cool…”
Siyeon, who had been smiling faintly, covered her mouth with increasingly overwhelming emotions.
and
The end of the concert.
The event slogan displayed on stage: "Miracles are always with you."
That one line made Siyeon's heart pound.
강시연
"miracle...."
Even I felt greatly encouraged. As the slogan appeared, the camera panned over the entire auditorium.
Among the laughing fans, Myungho was seen quietly closing and opening his eyes in the center of the stage and looking at the phrase.
Unable to hold back the tears, I burst into tears.
That love, that promise, that sincerity, is so great.
강시연
"...i miss you."
Tears pouring down onto the blanket. And beyond the monitor, his back, powerfully guarding the stage.
‘Miracles are always with you.’
That sentence was her reason to live.
Thank you for watching today!!!
