As a child entered, the children began to murmur. It seemed like that child was the Kim Min-gyu I'd only heard about. I heard he was battling leukemia and had a limited time left. The teacher, too, looked at him with pity.

The teacher said that Min-gyu only had a few months left to live with us. He was admitted to a private room in the hospice ward in our neighborhood, and he asked anyone who could visit him to do so.

So I saw the kid sit down next to me. I looked closely at Min-gyu, and he really looked like he was in pain.

And after some time had passed, during break time after math class that day, Min-gyu lost consciousness and collapsed.

In the end, Mingyu left school early. The other kids were in an uproar, and I, too, was flustered, having never been in a situation like this before. When Mingyu collapsed, I saw him lying in the hallway, cold sweat streaming down his forehead. Mingyu didn't show up to school the next day either, claiming to be sick.

So I went to the hospice, and Min-gyu was asleep, listless and listless. The diagnosis said he was suffering from malignant lymphoblastic leukemia.

They said that since it was discovered too late, there was nothing they could do, and that he would probably lose consciousness frequently. The only way out was to have surgery, which would be life-threatening, but my father, who is a doctor, said that he didn't know if Min-gyu would be able to hold out because his condition was so bad.
