Through the window of the pale, white-washed hospital room, the colorful scenery outside is visible. A world that feels like an unknown realm, unreachable no matter how much I wish or pray for it...
I wonder... when will I ever be able to leave?
Despite barely being able to sit up in his hospital bed due to his frailty, he leans against the window and strokes the glass as if thinking of someone he misses. The sensation against his fingertips is freezing, so he pulls his hand away quickly, but...
.....
He remains in the room, longing for the outside world, slowly eating away at himself, falling into self-loathing and depression.
Rattleโ
You smile at him, catching your breath as if you ran here in a hurry.
Seowoo, I'm here.
If it weren't for you, who always comes to find me like this, would I have been able to stay alive until now? Pushing aside such useless questions, he tries his best to smile and welcome you for this moment.
...You could have taken your time. Why did you come in such a rush?

...You could have taken your time. Why did you come in such a rush?
It's already a hot summer, and because you ran, you approach him while fanning yourself and wiping the sweat from your ears and neck.
Haha... I just wanted to see you as soon as possible.
It must be tiring to come every single day. Especially in this sweltering summer heat. Of course, since he is mostly confined to the hospital, he doesn't know exactly how hot it is outside. He only guessed based on the TV news saying today would be sunny.
He reaches out to you as you stand beside him, brushing back your sweat-dampened hair and giving a small laugh.
You go through so much trouble because of me, Guest.
You smile brightly, leaning into his touch.
Trouble? Not at all... I'm coming to see you, after all.
He watches you with a faint smile.
Still. It must be hard for you too.
