Jimin and Taehyung, two young artists, shared a small flat. The flat was on the third storey of an old house.
Taehyung fell very seriously ill in November. He had pneumonia. He would lie in her bed without moving, just gazing out of the window.
Jimin, his friend, became very worried. He sent for the doctor. Although he came every day there was no change in Taehyung's condition
One day the doctor took Jimin aside and asked him, "Is anything worrying Taehyung?"
"No," replied Jimin. "But why do you ask?"
The doctor said "Taehyung, it seems, has made up his mind that He is not going to get well. If He doesn't want to live, medicines will not help him."
Jimin tried his best to make Taehyung take an interest in things around him. He talked about Movies and fashions but Taehyung did not respond. Taehyung continued to lie still on his bed. Jimin brought his drawing-board into Taehyung's room and started painting. To take Taehyung's mind off his illness, he whistled while working.
Suddenly Jimin heard Taehyung whisper something. He quickly rushed to the bed and heard Taehyung counting backward. He was looking out of the window and was saying, "Twelve!" After sometime He whispered "eleven", then "ten", then "nine", "eight", "seven". Jimin anxiously looked out of the window. She saw an old ivy creeper climbing halfway up the brick wall opposite their window. In the strong wind outside, the creeper was shedding its leaves
