Our love was the same from the beginning to the end

#02.

The place Jihyun went as soon as she left the hospital room was,

It was the place where the man I saw for the first time was.

Let's go back there, the man is in the same spot as before,

I was looking outside in the same posture.

Jihyun approached slowly, not as if she was passing by like before, but as if she was standing right next to me.

Then I ended up standing about 2 meters away.

As soon as Jihyun's footsteps stopped, the man felt someone was next to him and turned his head in the direction where Jihyun was standing.

He met Jihyun's eyes, who was already looking at him.

The man took a step back as if he was surprised.

Jihyun bowed her head slightly and greeted him.

강지현

Hello,

When Jihyun greeted him, the man just bowed his head and greeted him.

The man hesitated for a moment, then began to walk step by step toward the sickroom.

Then at that time.

강지현 image

강지현

Hey, hey...

강지현 image

강지현

I'm the type of person who has to ask questions right away!..

강지현 image

강지현

By the way, what is your name?

강지현 image

강지현

My name is Kang Ji-hyun!

강지현 image

강지현

If it's okay with you, me and...

강지현 image

강지현

Do you want to be friends?

강지현 image

강지현

I've been living in the hospital for a long time, but I don't have anyone to talk to like a friend.

Jihyun suddenly introduced herself and asked to be friends.

As expected, the man's expression was one of surprise and bewilderment.

강지현 image

강지현

uh..

강지현 image

강지현

You'd be really surprised and embarrassed if someone you met for the first time said something strange...

강지현 image

강지현

sorry..

강지현 image

강지현

What I'm curious about is that although I'm the type of person who can't stand it, this is the first time I've said this in a situation like this...

After Jihyun's embarrassed words,

Jihyun was thinking that it was natural to fail at making friends.

I could hear the man's voice.

???

no,

???

It's a little embarrassing, but...

???

The friend who suggested we do it earlier,

???

Yes, I will.

???

I was a little worried because I was hospitalized yesterday and I don't have any close friends, but it turned out well.

The man surprisingly readily accepted Jihyun's words.

Before long, we slowly began to tell each other stories.

강지현 image

강지현

As I said before, my name is Kang Ji-hyun.

강지현 image

강지현

I am 26 years old.

김석진 image

김석진

My name is Kim Seok-jin.

김석진 image

김석진

I am 31 years old.

강지현 image

강지현

You're five years older than me, so feel free to talk to me.

강지현 image

강지현

And even more so since we decided to be friends.

김석진 image

김석진

Oh.. is that so?..

김석진 image

김석진

Then you too, speak comfortably.

김석진 image

김석진

It's a bit weird if I do it comfortably by myself, right?

The man named Kim Seok-jin seemed awkward and had difficulty talking to people when meeting them for the first time.

Jihyun, who was watching the scene, took Seokjin and took him to the rooftop of the hospital.

Jeokbuk, Jeokbuk -

Thud -

김석진 image

김석진

But why here...

강지현 image

강지현

It felt awkward to be there,

강지현 image

강지현

I brought it along to get some fresh air.

강지현 image

강지현

And I heard you were admitted to the hospital yesterday,

강지현 image

강지현

It would be nice to take a look around the hospital too.

Jihyun spoke with a positive mindset,

I looked outside like a child.

We looked outside for about 10 minutes without saying a word to each other.

Then Seokjin spoke to Jihyun first.

김석진 image

김석진

By the way, may I ask why you stayed in the hospital for so long?

김석진 image

김석진

I'm sorry if that was an uncomfortable question,

김석진 image

김석진

And you don't have to answer.

강지현 image

강지현

hmm..

강지현 image

강지현

It's not particularly uncomfortable.

Most people would have thought it was a flustered expression and a slightly uncomfortable question, but

Jihyun didn't think so and told Seokjin why she had been in the hospital for so long.

강지현 image

강지현

Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with heart cancer, a rare disease that doctors didn't even consider writing about in a medical paper.

강지현 image

강지현

So the professor in charge took good care of me.

강지현 image

강지현

I did all the treatments the professor suggested,

강지현 image

강지현

So, I had no choice but to spend a long time in the hospital.

강지현 image

강지현

And then I was diagnosed as completely recovered...

At that time, tears began to well up in Jihyun's eyes.

Then it started to fall drop by drop.

Seokjin, who was watching the scene, pulled Jihyun into his arms without hesitation and hugged her.

Jihyun poured out all the tears she had been holding in Seokjin's arms.

About 10 minutes later.

Only then did Jihyun regain some peace of mind and leave Seokjin's arms.

I wiped away the tears that still remained on my face with my hand.

Swish, swish -

김석진 image

김석진

Are you feeling better now?

김석진 image

김석진

Just hearing this makes me feel like it must have been difficult...

강지현 image

강지현

Just like you said...

강지현 image

강지현

It was hard, but...

강지현 image

강지현

My heart cancer has relapsed.

김석진 image

김석진

Since I was cured after receiving good treatment before, I think I will be able to be cured this time too if I receive good treatment.

강지현 image

강지현

..Thank you for saying it like that..

김석진 image

김석진

But there is still hope for a cure,

김석진 image

김석진

I am..

김석진 image

김석진

Even if you are cured, the survival rate is only 7%, so you will die within a year.

강지현 image

강지현

(embarrassed) Seriously?

강지현 image

강지현

What is the disease?

김석진 image

김석진

It's a type of cancer called 00000.
