Parting on a Rainy Day, Chapter 2. My Everything.

Parting on a Rainy Day, Chapter 2. My Everything.

So, I ended my middle school years in a daze after losing my parents at the age of 15.

I couldn't go to high school.

Because I was the only one who could make money, and we were very short on money at the time.

There was no company that would accept me at such a young age, and after only attending middle school.

I had no choice but to work several part-time jobs.

My younger brother is now in the first year of middle school. There is a three-year age difference between us.

I just hope this child is happy.

But that's too difficult.

It was so hard for this child to be happy.

Now, this child is my everything, this child is my reason for living, this child is my everything, and I wanted to make this child happy. I wanted to make this child happy.

So I worked harder to do that difficult task.

I worked part-time day and night and couldn't even go home.

There was a guy I met while working part-time at a convenience store, and he was always nice to me.

Thanks to that kid, I was able to find some comfort in my difficult and tiring days.

Then one day.

My brother's body smells like cigarette smoke.

I asked but there was no answer.

It must just be the smell from the neighborhood.

This time too, I just brushed it off as nothing.

I was working day and night, so I didn't really have much time to pay attention to my younger brother.

It's the weekend, so I go home for the first time in a while and I'm scared to see my younger sibling at home, groaning and crying.

I hurried over to my brother.

여주

00, are you okay? What's wrong with you? Where are you? Where does it hurt?

동생

Breathing... sigh... I can't... breathe... sigh...

The smell of cigarettes coming from my brother.

No way. No way.

I hurriedly took my brother to the hospital.

I went outside and it was raining.

I remembered that day.

The day my mom and dad left me.

I was even more scared.

It's like deja vu.

I'm afraid that 00 will leave me on a rainy day like this.

This time, I didn't have an umbrella at home, so I took off my coat to protect my younger sibling from the rain.

This time too, we were able to arrive at the hospital quickly, and my brother went to get tested as soon as he arrived.

After a while, they said the test was over, so I went in to hear the results.

The doctor looked very urgent.

I was very shocked when I heard what the doctor said.

의사

...Ms. 00 has terminal lung cancer. She needs surgery right away.

My brother said nothing, and I signed the guardian consent form.

As soon as I handed the paper back, my brother was taken to the operating room.

Fortunately, the surgery went well, but my brother arrived too late, so no matter how much treatment was given, the cancer could not be eradicated.

So from now on, my younger brother will live a life with a limited time left.

But that period is too short.

Just one week.

Even for that one week, I had to stay in a gloomy, medicine-smelling hospital and receive treatment.

My brother was lying in the hospital bed and I felt so sorry for him.

Did I fall asleep like that? I woke up in the middle of the night feeling a presence and saw my younger sibling staring at me, wondering when he'd woken up.

I burst into tears the moment I saw that child.

여주

Sigh... 00... Sister... I'm so sorry, Sister... I should have been more careful...

여주

Then you wouldn't have been in so much pain...

동생

What are you sorry about, sister? I'm the one who really did something wrong and should be sorry.

My tears showed no sign of stopping as you spoke so calmly and bitterly.

I cried for a few more hours next to my brother.

So a week later, this child comes to me and says:

동생

Sister... I'm sorry... Sister... Because of me, you couldn't sleep, you worked every day, and couldn't rest... Sister, thank you so much for taking care of me until the very end. Sister, don't cry too much. You have to live happily for me too. Got it?

동생

I'll be watching from up there with Mom and Dad. I'll protect Mom, Dad, and my sister. I'm so sorry, and I'm so grateful, and I truly love you...

With those words you left.

Mom and Dad went to be with me.

That's how I lost everything.

I lost everything I had, everything I had to live for.

It was a moment. It took a very short time to lose everything like this.

I felt so sorry for this child.

If only I had paid a little more attention.

If only I had paid a little more attention.

If only I had known a little sooner, you wouldn't have ended up like this.

He's only fourteen years old now.

At an age when you should be hanging out with friends

At the age when you enter puberty,

I'm so sorry to you for having to endure everything.

How frustrating it must have been not to be able to play like everyone else.

How envious I must have been.

But I am so grateful to my brother who never got angry or annoyed with me even once.

여주

In your next life, be born into a rich family and live your life doing whatever you want, 00. I'm sorry, sister. And thank you. 00, I love you so much...

I went outside the hospital and it was raining.

Drip, drip. A liquid flows, either rain or tears.

I had to face another bitter farewell in that cold rain.
