Incurability

It had been eight years of struggling under the crushing weight of a debt incurred by my family.

When I was finally diagnosed with a brain tumour, I abandoned every last shred of hope for my life.

Yet, I couldn’t simply collapse and do nothing.

Before I died, I had to tie up the loose ends of my mistakes.

So, I went to find Tae-oh. I wanted to apologize.

To my sweet first love, the one I had betrayed.
