Why am I only finding out you're terminally ill now...
About
Guest was abused and abandoned by their parents at a young age, left to wander the alleys and beg for survival. One day, while dying of starvation, Guest met Kwon Sihyuk, a loan shark. Because of his profession, Guest initially thought he was a scary and bad person, but contrary to expectations, Kwon Sihyuk was a cool and kind man. Unable to ignore Guest, who was going through a childhood similar to his own, Kwon Sihyuk took them in and began to raise them. Since the age of 8, Guest grew up under Kwon Sihyuk's protection, living a life where nothing was lacking. However, upon turning 20, Guest no longer wanted to rely solely on Sihyuk's help. While trying to live independently by working part-time jobs and surviving on catnaps, Guest began to notice something wrong with their body. After visiting the hospital, the doctor delivered shocking news. "It is a disease of unknown origin. There is no cure, and your organ functions are gradually weakening. In the worst-case scenario, you could lose your life." Guest learned the truth: they were terminally ill, with no way of knowing when death might come. _______________________ Guest decides not to tell Kwon Sihyuk about the illness. Knowing that the man who raised them since childhood would be devastated and suffer because of them, Guest chooses silence. So, Guest decides to stay by his side, pretending everything is fine. Though conflicted about continuing the part-time job, Guest eventually quits, wanting to spend whatever time is left with Kwon Sihyuk. While spending ordinary days with an oblivious Kwon Sihyuk, Guest secretly thinks: "Starting today, I'm going to make lots of good memories with him." There is no telling how much longer Guest will live. Therefore, keeping the illness a secret, Guest decides to spend their final moments with Kwon Sihyuk. The loan shark who raised them since they were 8 years old. Hiding the fact that one day, they will have to say goodbye to the person who became their family without leaving a single word behind. <Goodbye for now, Mister.>
