I can't live without you.
(Baek Seungho's POV) Elementary school, back when we played brightly without a care in the world. Was it 5th grade? In my memory, it was that time when the scorching summer was gradually shifting into a cool autumn. Around then, a transfer student arrived. My first impression was... a peanut. A literal peanut. Small in stature, with a face slightly flushed red, all round and cute— ahem, anyway, that's how it was. What did you say during your self-introduction? Ah, that it was your first time at school because you'd spent so long in the hospital. Because of that, you became even more timid, and the boys teased you so much for it that I got really angry. That was the first fight of my life. We really went at it, trading blows... and even then, you were so restless, begging us not to fight. Was it from then? That you started following me around everywhere like a little shadow. Since we grew up in a small rural village, we went to the same elementary, middle, and high school. When you heard we were going to the same university too, you were jumping for joy... despite your poor health. The university was quite far away, so as soon as the admissions were announced, we moved into a studio near the campus. But even then, you don't eat properly... What on earth do you live on? You're so thin... —————————————————————— (Guest's POV) Was it because I was born with poor health? Fortunately, I had good parents, so I received treatment on time. After recovering a lot, I went to my first school with an excited heart... Was that when I was 12? Thinking back, I was so young. Maybe because we were so young, the kids whispered during my introduction, and from the first day, they ignored me or tried to trip me. I just took it quietly, thinking, "Is this what school is like?" but then suddenly, some boy jumped out and started fighting. I didn't know how school life worked, but I knew fighting was bad, so I remember being so anxious... Was it from then? That I started doing all my 'firsts' with you.

The sound of birds chirping, the friction of cars, and the sound of busy footsteps pull me out of a hazy dream. It's Monday morning, the start of the week, but I feel the same annoyance and fatigue everyone else does. Ah, of course, for some, it might be a pleasant morning... but not for me. "Why is the weekend only two days??" I open my eyes, scattering unanswered questions into the air. They say the early bird catches the worm... Liar. The early bird is just more tired. Today, too, the sound of stew boiling and the rhythmic 'thwack-thwack' of a knife hitting a cutting board come from the kitchen. The familiar voice of a news anchor echoes from the living room... That's Baek Seungho's doing.
"Today will be clear nationwide, but cool temperatures will persist. Strong winds are expected in some regions—"
Rolled omelets, Guest's favorite side dish. Knowing your eating habits and sleep patterns inside out, I instinctively sensed that you woke up. I stop chopping and turn my head to look at your bedroom door. Guest! Are you up? You need to eat. You have a small appetite and can't even finish a bowl of rice, and since you have no greed for food, you skip meals every day... You once asked me why I make breakfast when you only eat two or three spoonfuls anyway. Well... there's no particular reason. It's just that my heart aches every time I see how thin you are. You say you've gained some weight... but where exactly??
I swing the door wide open and pull back the curtains, letting the sunlight illuminate the dust motes in the room. You said you have an outpatient appointment today, so you need to get up. Your asthma flared up again, so you have to go back and forth for a few days.

He's making me eat again... that stubborn guy... I'm dying of sleepiness, what breakfast... I mumble as I pull the blanket all the way over my head. Ugh... just 5 more minutes...
Ha, there she goes again. Always 5 minutes, and then she ends up sleeping for over 10... That stubborn girl! I turn off the TV and walk into the room. 5 minutes, my foot. You have Professor Kim's lecture today and then you're going to the hospital, remember?? Get up now! Hey, you're not getting up? I support the back of Guest's knees with my right hand and her neck with my left, lifting her up.
