That winter, a day when white snow was piling up.

16

- Three days ago, OO Hospital emergency room -

홍지수

.. Jeonghan, are you feeling better?

정한

Yeah. Oh, my head hurts.

홍지수

I was surprised when you suddenly collapsed.

정한

Hahaha, I'm fine.

홍지수

It really has to be okay...

정한

But what about the female lead?

홍지수

...I told Yeoju that I would go with you, so you should come with Seungcheol, right?

정한

.. however?

홍지수

.. They haven't come for a long time, I just went to look for them. Kang Yeo-ju and Choi Seung-cheol are both nowhere to be seen, at the bookstore and at home.

정한

..... Oh, this is crazy.

Jeonghan muttered a curse in a low voice and sat up from where he was lying.

정한

Hey, Hong Ji-soo.

홍지수

huh?

정한

Don't blame me.

As soon as Jeonghan finished speaking, before Jisoo could even grasp the situation, he roughly grabbed the ringer that was in his hand and started running out of the hospital.

홍지수

Hey, hey!! Yoon Junghan!

The scene that Jisoo saw as soon as she followed Jeonghan out of the hospital was-

홍지수

..... !

A truck rushes towards Jeonghan, who is driving recklessly on the road.

Jeonghan's body immediately rises into the air and falls.

홍지수

What were the results of the surgery?

의사

Hmm... there were signs of previous cancer treatment. This cancer is treatable, with a new drug currently under development.

홍지수

.. !

의사

.. but,

홍지수

..yes?

의사

Because of the shock from this traffic accident, you may not be able to wake up for several days.

Jisoo kept washing her face dry.

의사

.. Sorry, we did our best too.

홍지수

Ahh.. it's okay, it's okay.

의사

Are you the guardian? Please accompany me to the intensive care unit.

홍지수

All right.

Jisoo's face, following Jeonghan out of the operating room, was lifeless.

홍지수

...I still can't wake up.

여주

Ah, ah. Ah, Jeonghan....

The woman buried her face between my knees and began to sob.

Seungcheol couldn't raise his head easily because it felt like everything was his fault.

홍지수

Choi Seung-cheol, it's not your fault.

홍지수

That's why, that's why...

홍지수

Lift your head -...

The hospital room was filled with only the sound of crying.
