My comfort, your courage

My comfort, your courage

Choi Seung-cheol; I'm scared of being alone

최승철

I'm afraid of being alone. I've always been the center of attention, always been with someone, so I'm afraid of being alone. What should I do?

천여주

Are you alone now?

최승철

No, I am not alone.

That's fortunate. Oh, of course, if I were alone right now, I wouldn't have listened to my words of comfort and jumped straight off the roof. And Seungcheol, Seungcheol, don't you think this situation is funny?

최승철

Why is this funny? Are you kidding me?

천여주

No, seriously. What I'm saying is this: Seungcheol, why are you afraid of something that hasn't happened yet?

최승철

I've heard that hundreds of times. Why are you afraid of something that hasn't happened? That's true. But the reason we're afraid of something that hasn't happened is because it happened in the past.

천여주

You're afraid of being alone. This has happened to you in the past, right?

최승철

.....

You had the courage to do it before, didn't you? So you're not alone now. Try again, like you did before. If Seungcheol can't overcome that fear, no one else will be able to help him. Overcome it. Only then can you become a better Seungcheol.

Yeoju hugged Seungcheol, who was speechless and shedding tears. Was it because she'd heard something she'd never heard from anyone else? Or was it because she was resenting herself for never being able to overcome her fears? Only Seungcheol knew the answer.

최승철

Ugh, sigh... ugh...

Cry here as much as you want. Cry only when you feel like crying, so that no more tears fall. Don't waste your tears on things that don't matter. And promise me. I promise to overcome fear and become a better version of myself.

Fear weakens us all. It's such a huge and difficult thing for us. No, that's what we think. Fear isn't as big or as difficult as we think. We're just exaggerating it.

The answer lies in overcoming, challenging, and courage. If you fail to overcome, you'll be trapped in a lifelong cycle of fear. How long will you succumb to fear? Try to overcome it at least once. Be courageous and take on the challenge. That's the answer to life.

천여주

You are not alone. And this is the first message I, Cheon Yeo-ju, convey.
