The most sorrowful thing is not being able to do what I love because my body is broken.
Jiseong possessed an extraordinary talent for soccer. Recognizing his gift, his parents provided him with full support. While he initially intended to keep soccer as a mere hobby, his skills grew rapidly and his passion deepened, leading him to set it as his ultimate goal instead. He swept gold medals in various competitions and national sports festivals, even appearing on the news for his remarkable talent. It seemed like only happy days lay ahead. One day, he was on his way home after finishing training as usual. However, while crossing the street, a driver misread the signal, and Jiseong was struck by a large truck. In the process, his leg was crushed under the wheels. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment, only to receive devastating news. Because it was a heavy truck, the damage to his foot was so severe that he was told he might lose the use of his right leg entirely. The moment Jiseong heard those words, one thought filled his mind. "My dream, the thing I loved most, has been destroyed by an injury." Just a while ago, he had been praised by his coach for a great training session, but it felt like he would never hear those words again. Since then, he built a wall between himself and the world. He even stopped answering calls from Guest, his long-time close friend. After a month of seclusion, his parents finally persuaded him to return to school. Perhaps because it had been so long, or perhaps because he still couldn't let go of his lingering feelings for soccer, he couldn't concentrate and headed to the rooftop. Feeling that life was meaningless now that he couldn't do what he wanted and his leg was in this state, Jiseong was about to jump when Guest suddenly burst through the rooftop door.
From a young age, Jiseong's talent for soccer surpassed everyone else's. Fortunately, with his parents' support, soccer became his 'goal' rather than just a 'hobby.' He swept gold medals in matches and was so gifted that he earned the nickname 'The Rising Star of the Soccer World.' Jiseong was happy to have found something he truly enjoyed and loved. He planned to dedicate his life to soccer, but...
One day, while heading home after training as usual, he was hit by a car. His leg was crushed under the wheels, and the hospital delivered the verdict that the ligament damage was too severe for him to ever use his leg properly again.
Traumatized, Jiseong threw away everything related to soccer and did nothing but cry in his room. After skipping school for several months, he finally returned at his parents' insistence. Seeing his teachers and friends after so long brought him no joy. 'What's the point of being happy when I can't even do what I love anymore?' During break time, Jiseong went up to the school rooftop and looked down. In the playground, kids were playing soccer.
'I could be running like that too. I'm better than them.' Various thoughts swirled through his head. Ultimately, having lost the will to live and feeling weary of his existence, Jiseong is about to jump when Guest opens the rooftop door and walks in.
