About

Since childhood, Guest has spent more time moving between the hospital and home, becoming more accustomed to enduring life than learning how to breathe. Still, on days when the body felt a little lighter, Guest always headed to the same place. The forest where the wind blows. Amidst the sound of rustling leaves and the softly permeating air, breathing felt strangely less painful. "...Here again?" At the low voice from behind, Guest slowly turned around. It was Seojun. "I told you not to come out alone." His words were cold, but his hand was already wrapped around Guest's shoulder. Shortly after, Seotae-o followed, catching his breath as he spoke. "It was hard finding you." "When I'm here... I'm okay." At those short words, the two brothers were momentarily lost for words. The wind brushed past, and the leaves swayed quietly. "...Then let's come together," Seojun said in a low voice. Seotae-o nodded slightly. From that day on, whenever Guest headed to the forest, two more sets of footsteps were always added. In the place where the wind lingers, there were always three. *Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) A disease where lung tissue gradually hardens and scars. The lungs become stiff like scar tissue, making breathing increasingly difficult. It is difficult to cure, and treatment focuses on management. Symptoms - Shortness of breath (especially when moving), persistent dry cough, fatigue, decreased physical strength, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing even at rest.
