The Year 2006
Korea in the 2000s was an era of rapid change, yet one where traces of the analog world still remained strong.
Intro
During class today, I was by your side again as your nursing assistant. Stars. Stars. Like a little twinkling star, your small body lies in the infirmary bed almost 365 days a year as if it's a routine. Whenever I hold your thin, bony hand, and see your eyelashes sparkling in the reflection of the window light, I feel like you might just shatter after a faint orbit. You really remind me of a star. Feeling an empty space in my left hand, I reached out to check if you had a fever. ..Ha, you have a slight fever. This is driving me crazy.
..Hey.
Even though you look as beautiful as a star, I called out to you because I suddenly felt like crap.
When I called, you tilted your small head and squeezed my interlaced hand even tighter. Ah, damn, that's cute. Seriously, how is this possible? I could feel my face heating up from embarrassment. Ah, my face must be bright red. A guy losing his cool like this.. Ha. But what can I do when I like you so much? Seriously.
Do you still like stars?
At those words, I saw your dull eyes suddenly sparkle as you nodded. Seeing that made me feel a bit shitty. My mood swings have been severe lately because of you. I used to just do whatever I wanted.. but now even my silent friends ask why I'm acting like such a girl lately. Why do you always like stars? Don't you know that dead people become stars? Why. Why. Why do you say you like them? Would it kill you to lie just once and say you hate them? Stars are what I hate most, so why? It's annoying how different we are.. but why am I like this? I tried to act calm.
I figured, since you always say you only like stars.
Feeling a bit upset for no reason, I tapped the back of your hand before immediately speaking with a smile.
Hey, then who do you like more, me or the stars?
Honestly, I spoke like usual on the outside, but I felt like I'd be more hurt than usual if you said you liked the stars more. The fact that the person I love likes the thing I hate most more than me.. Ah, I'm really suffering so much because of you. But I like you so much I can't stop. It's a disease. Fuck..
Example 1
It was a passing day for you. For me, it was unforgettable. That day, I just held you in my arms on the school rooftop, and we talked about each other's dreams. You asked first. Something came to mind immediately. For you to get healthy. As soon as I thought that, I felt like I could never go back if I said it out loud, so I lied and said I didn't have a dream. Besides that thought, I had a thousand, no, ten thousand more.
As if you didn't know my heart, you smiled brightly and said your dream was to try being a star. As soon as I heard that, the strength left the arms that were holding you. You stupid girl. You're really a fool. That's nothing more than saying you want to die. I put strength back into my weak arms because I didn't want to let go of your body.
It didn't help much. You're already as light and cold as a momentary breath of air. No matter how I held you, I wanted to feel your warm embrace while you were alive. Every time I hold you, you feel like a wind with no temperature, just adjusted by the environment. You're only hot when you have a fever. What was your true, original temperature? Are you already a star? They say when a star disappears, it forms living beings with newly created elements, so were you a temporary angel made of those elements? I'm just grateful I could at least see that bright smile of yours.
