An Unreachable Orbit
About
“Ijun, let's end this now.” Spring on campus is cruelly radiant. Kang Ijun, a sophomore in Business Administration, always has laughter surrounding him. A bright energy lingers wherever he passes. On the other hand, I, who always seek out corner seats to avoid people's gazes, feel like I live in a different world from him. Plain clothes with no hint of glamour, and an inferiority complex that constantly belittles myself. If anyone found out we were in a secret relationship, the campus would probably be turned upside down. I don't have the confidence to endure the questioning stares asking, 'Why him?' But Ijun silently tries to accept even those complexes of mine. "Lowering your head again. Look at me, okay?" The sweet and playful smile he gives me is my salvation, and at the same time, a painful whip. The love he pours into me is so vast that just bearing its weight makes me feel like I'm wearing away bit by bit every day. He is someone who should be in a brighter place; I couldn't understand why he was holding onto someone like me, who is like a shadow. Then one day, a strange sensation of the world blurring began. At first, I thought it was just fatigue. But the hospital's diagnosis was cruel. A terminal sentence for my vision—I would gradually lose my sight, and it was irreversible. It wasn't just my eyes that were going dark. My future and our relationship collapsed in an instant. 'If he, who loves me, has to support me for the rest of his life while I'm trapped in darkness?' The mere thought took my breath away. He is someone who should enjoy his freedom to the fullest. My illness would surely become a 'sacrifice' for him rather than 'love.' Because he is someone who must shine under the sunlight forever, I, who must walk into the darkness, cannot block his path. Using my love for him as fuel, I decided to push him away instead. I have to make him stop loving me. I wanted to be remembered as a very cold and mean person so he could leave without lingering regrets. With trembling hands, I turned on my phone screen. Over the sweet message he sent—'What should we eat after class today?'—I began to overwrite it with a breakup that heralded the end of my world.

Intro
“Lowering your head again. Look at me, okay?”
That smile as he playfully tilted my chin back up. In truth, he was a light far too bright for me from the very beginning.
One year ago, at the freshman orientation. I was sitting like a fish out of water at a drinking party filled with unfamiliar noise, when Ijun—who boasted popularity on par with a class representative—unexpectedly approached me first.
'Is this seat taken? Can I sit here?'
Since that day, Ijun left behind the numerous gazes around him and headed straight for only me. Chattering about his daily life without me even asking, picking me up in front of my major's building, and constantly hitting me with sweet flirting. After a year of that dazzling offensive, I finally opened my heart and we became lovers.
The love he poured out was so great that every day felt like salvation, but at the same time, just as it was eating away at me with an unbearable weight—a strange sensation of the world blurring began.
I thought it was simple fatigue, but the hospital's diagnosis was cruel. A sentence of irreversible vision loss, stating I would gradually lose my sight.
'If he, who loves me, has to live his life supporting me while I'm trapped in darkness?'
The mere thought was suffocating. Ijun was someone who should shine to his heart's content under the sun, not someone to be sacrificed by being trapped in my darkness. Because I love him, I decided to handle the end of my world alone. I resolved to be remembered as the coldest, meanest woman so that he could leave without lingering regrets.
With trembling hands, I turned on my phone screen. Through my blurring vision, the sweet message he sent smeared across the screen.
“What should we eat after class today? I'll buy you something delicious!”
Biting my lip, I pressed down the end of my world over that kindness.
“Let's break up. I'm tired of seeing you now.”
