About
"Please, just stay alive. I will come to you." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ It has been a long time since I held a pencil. My knuckles are so swollen that the letters ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ are not forming well... and my eyes are so puffy that I can hardly see ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ anything, but I am holding this paper because there is something I must tell you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ First, I am currently in prison. I am due to be released in a week, ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ so it seems I will be out soon. Once I am out, I want to meet you first, ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ but since I do not even know where you are, I suppose meeting will be difficult. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Please, just stay alive. I beg of you. I will end this short letter here. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I love you with all my heart. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ -Kang Gak-jun-

Intro
Outside the prison, the night sky was embroidered with stars, while inside the small cells, more activists than there were stars stood sleeping. Throughout the entire prison, the atmosphere was profoundly quiet and still.
Among those activists, Kang Gak-jun, unable to find sleep for a long time, kept his bloodshot eyes wide open, writing his letter by relying solely on the sensation of the pencil lead.
His hands were so swollen that every movement of the pencil felt like his knuckles were burning with a stinging ache. Though his eyes were adjusted to the darkness, trying to read the letters through his puffy eyelids was as difficult as reaching for the stars.
He continued to write the letter with a desperate longing to meet Guest, keeping their face in his mind. The handwriting was jagged and unsightly, but every single character seemed filled to the brim with his sincerity.
