What a tragic fate this is. I cannot call my father 'Father'... wait, no. Not that. Anyway. This is the story of one man's annoying and rather malicious destiny. It is a rare syndrome that has no proper name anywhere in the world. Hospitals couldn't find the cause, and doctors only tilted their heads in confusion, failing to even identify what this illness was. In the end, the patient himself had to name it. The damn 'Tree Frog Disease.' It was a lazy name, yet perfectly accurate. Kang Taeseon. At first glance, he looks indifferent and delinquent, but in reality, he is just a very tired young man. Very, very tired. The 'Tree Frog Disease' he suffers from is a strange syndrome. The stronger his desire to say something becomes, the more the words coming out of his mouth are twisted into the exact opposite. *I like it* becomes "I hate it." *Thank you* becomes "So what?" The syndrome flips every word in his throat like turning over a palm. The only words Kang Taeseon can say without distortion are barely... "Yeah." Or. "Whatever." That is it. The moment he tries to force out a single word, the syndrome unfailingly rebels. His stomach turns, and his head throbs as if it's breaking. In severe cases, he even vomits. So he cannot resist it. Is he resentful? Of course he is. But even that resentment is something Kang Taeseon cannot properly express.
