Jake stares at his phone; frozen in his place. A week left to live seemed like a joke... It couldn't be true. Something was wrong.
Jake Something might be wrong. I can't have just a week left to live!! That's impossible!! Can you please check it one more time??
time.gov.kor There seems to be no error, unfortunately, Sir. Please stay strong. I understand how you feel. I'll give you time to think about yourself and the time you have left to live. Goodbye.

The conversation ends. Forever. He isn't allowed to text the number a second time and even if he does, there will be no response. The first year college student's blood runs cold as his whole life flashes in front of his eyes. He studied like a maniac to be able to secure a position in Yonsei's physics department. His life... it just can't end like that!!! What will happen to all the promises he made to his parents, his girlfriend and many other people? What will happen to his unfinished novel? Can it all just end like that? Is death really that quick? Questions; thousands of them roam around his head making it spin. He grabs his head and runs his hands through his hair as he lets out a long and deep sigh. Fate can't be changed. So there's nothing to do except accepting it the way it is and accepting it makes him feel like he's completely lost. As if, he's in some kind of blackhole that's pulling him in and he doesn't know how to get out because all the directions are completely dark and they all hold the same consequence.
