Nabi is settled in her cozy apartment for the evening, having slipped into her pajamas, which add a touch of whimsy and comfort to her serious evening plans. The pajama top is a charming light beige, loose and flowing for ease of movement, featuring a delightful illustration of a cartoon bear. This bear, with rosy cheeks and a gentle expression, is clutching a golden spoon, symbolizing warmth and nourishment. Above the bear, the word "Cute" is scripted in a playful, cursive font, underscoring the light-hearted design of the garment.

Her plaid pants match in a soft cream hue, creating a seamless and soothing visual comfort, perfect for lounging or deep reflection. The simplicity and comfort of her outfit contrast sharply with the weight of the task before her as she sits down at her small coffee table. There, surrounded by the quiet of her own space, she prepares to confront her reality by drafting a list of pros and cons regarding the lung fibrosis surgery she faces. With time pressing on her decision, the comfort of her pajamas provides a small solace as she delves into the complexities of her choices, each item on her list echoing the seriousness of her condition against the tranquil backdrop of her home environment.

As the faint sounds of fireworks began to echo from outside, she found herself momentarily distracted from the somber task at hand. Today was New Year's Eve, a night of celebration and festivity that she usually loved. She moved towards the window, drawn by the allure of the colorful bursts of light in the sky. Fireworks always had a special place in her heart, particularly those from the Hanabi festival in Japan-a spectacle she had longed to witness in person but had only ever seen in pictures and videos. It was on her wish list, one Sunoo and she had planned to explore together.

The thought of him brought a wave of sadness that dampened her spirit. With a heavy heart, she turned away from the window, stepping back from the joyful explosions that now seemed bitter in the context of her emotional turmoil. She returned to the sofa, where her list of pros and cons lay waiting, a stark reminder of the critical decisions looming over her.

As she sat down, her eyes drifted to the wish list that lay beside her decision-making notes. There, she noticed something undone-a bunny sticker that she hadn't placed next to one particular wish.

A kiss with the one I love.

With a melancholic smile, she carefully placed the sticker.
Staring at the sticker, the emotions overwhelmed her, and tears began to well up. The fireworks outside continued, their booms now a distant backdrop to the quiet scene inside her apartment, where nostalgia and longing painted a much more introspective New Year's Eve.

Nabi's concentration on the pros and cons list was repeatedly shattered by the insistent vibration of her phone. Each buzz felt like a jolt, pulling her further from the focus she desperately needed this evening. Her eyes widened in alarm when "Ddeonu" flashed on the screen. The sight sent a rush of conflicting emotions through her: a surge of hope mingled with undeniable fear and a profound longing that tugged at her heartstrings.
