The end of a limited life is that
Three letters of my life
I The end of my limited life is that I
- My life is three letters
Just as there is light and shadow in life, my life also has light and shadow that are no different from others.
The light in my life was more beautiful than anyone else, and on the contrary, the shadow told me that my life was coming to an end.
A life that no one would envy. Her parents are CEOs of successful conglomerates, and she's brimming with talent, always topping everything she does.
The light of my life is a part of my so-called innate life that others cannot have even if they try.
한여주
It's all useless anyway -,
A student who puffs on a cigarette, thinks about life, and does things that a student shouldn't do.

It's a shame that they even gave her a name like Han Yeo-ju.
My name is Han Yeo-ju. I'm 17 years old. Still in the midst of my wandering years, my life can be summed up in three words.
My parents gave me the name Han Yeo-ju, telling me to be the most wonderful Cinderella in the world. It seems like they gave me the name that says, "I'm the main character in life."
But my life is very short and simple, as if all those efforts were in vain.
Am I the protagonist of a life with a limited time left, struggling to get through this year, and a wandering woman who doesn't like this life and wants to die?
한여주
The protagonist will freeze to death.
One sip, two sips, smoking a cigarette until the ash disappears,
김재환
…cheap?

What are you looking at? Is this the first time you've seen a student smoke?
I frowned at the sudden appearance of a familiar face and rolled my already-lit cigarette around before putting it down on the ground.
Is this the first time you've seen a student smoke? What's with that blank expression? It's quite annoying and unpleasant.
김재환
Student...is this okay?
I'm feeling a bit uneasy today. There are so many people worrying about me. Is this how a student should be? What do you mean, I'm not an ordinary student, and I have a terminal illness.
I'm going to die anyway, so if I do whatever I want and get over it faster, that's what I want.
한여주
If you're a student, don't do anything.
It's a limited time anyway. These are the things that those kids want to be able to do at 20. I can't do them.
Those who have been given the opportunity will probably wait.
한여주
I wasn't even a student to begin with.
Although they're students, they're not treated like students. They make excuses about being sick and put their classes on hold. Even if they do attend classes, they have to go to the infirmary.
I'm the daughter of a wealthy conglomerate. Who could possibly say anything to me?
김재환
Anyone who goes to high school is a student. Whatever that is.
한여주
Anyone... whatever it is, if they go to school, they are a student.
That's true, but why does it annoy me so much?
김재환
Yeah, you're a student.
That unlucky face. ‘Anyone’ who ‘goes to school’ is a ‘student’... Really.
Anyone, literally anyone, who goes to school. Whether I go to school in the image of it or whatever, I go.
Student... Yes, he's a student. He's not given freedom.
한여주
The student is right. A student with a limited time.
My life is three letters long: a limited time. Whether you're a student or a school student, if you stand before a limited time, everything falls apart. Right?
김재환
As expected from the rumored bastard, he really is acting recklessly.
A rumor about a cheapskate. Even I, who has nothing to envy, have my shortcomings, and the stories I hear about my life at school are endlessly pitiful.
When others are jealous of me, I stand up to them. What's the point of being jealous? I'm already on my last legs.
It's funny that the kids perceive my bold stand as a cheapskate.
한여주
Is there a way to live a good life since you're going to die anyway?
Yes. My life is like a punishment from God. I don't believe in God, but the ultimate convergence of my life is death.
If the end of life is death anyway, if it was a decision that was too hasty for me, if others have opportunities but I don't.
Is it really necessary to live a good life and please others?
The reason I haven't made a single friend is because death is coming to me, and the reason I haven't lived a good life is because I'm selfish and only care about my own comfort.
But what's wrong with that? I'll be dead by the end of this year.
