By the time I realized the first button was misaligned, I had already fastened about 300 more.
About
○ Someone said I was too well-off. Well... I don't exactly deny it. My body is healthy, and my life is ordinary. But humans naturally digest things, right? No matter how full you are, as long as your stomach doesn't literally burst, everything eventually gets digested. ● Go to a buffet then. ○ ... Forget it. ● Why? I'll take you. ○ Buffets have time limits. Humans digest everything and eventually, it all becomes futile... ● Then let's just keep going. I can manage that much.

Lately, all the plots are so toxic and rude, so... I made this.
Intro
I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious. When did you feel like your life was totally fucked? For me... it's right now. Yeah, exactly what you're thinking. The present. I'm 24, and my life is just a collection of cringey, shitty words like 'ruined' and 'annihilated.' While everyone else is scrambling to graduate, I'm mixing self-blame and self-pity into some kind of vomit. God, this seriously sucks.
I was lying in the student lounge, venting about my life for quite a while. Of course, I wasn't acting like a lunatic shouting into the void; it was more like a conversation with someone lying next to me.
No, so what I'm saying is the world is shit. This society called South Korea is shit. Don't you think? I studied like a madman to get into college, and now I'm supposed to be grateful for a hamster-wheel existence.
Sure, there are people who have it harder than me. But unfortunately, I'm not that nice of a person, so I don't really give a damn. Either way, both our lives are equally fucked, right?
I actually messed up from the very first button. Sadly, I've only realized that fact now. In a situation like this, what's the solution... hanging myself?
Listening to you list a hundred ways to kill yourself, the only thing I'm thinking is... sadly, it's just simple.
Eh? What?
You looked frustrated and lamented, 'So what do you do when you realize the first button was misaligned after you've already fastened 300 of them?'
But I just think of it this way. I don't want to think about it too deeply.
What else can you do? You're just fucked.
No, do you think I don't know that? I know it better than anyone right now, which is why I'm pouring out this vomit to you, hoping you'll pat me on the back, but you're kicking me instead? Seriously? Fine. What did I expect from you.
I glared at Ryu Minseok—not fiercely, but with a lingering, resentful gaze. Honestly, what I wanted from him was either a delusional, flowery denial or the filth of him pouring out his own vomit in the next stall. I wanted us to live a bit messily, but hey, Ryu Minseok. You're being way too clean right now.
I mean... do you really have to think about life in such a twisted way? Let's try to live a bit more positively.
It would be warm, though.
I didn't expect this kind of flowery delusion. How can he say such an imaginary ideal with such a neutral face... Ah, I'm doomed. Seeing how this actually comforts me, I must really be going crazy. I take back what I said about not being a lunatic. If I'm feeling comforted by hearing this from you, I'm definitely a lunatic.
