With your presence alone, it is as if all the anxieties and worries in my heart have faded away, leaving only a feeling of serene tranquility. It's as if this world and all its beauty have decided to surround my soul, embracing me from all sides. It is a feeling that only you can bring out in me, and it fills me with gratitude and a sense of being truly at peace.

"Once something has made the decision to leave, no power on this earth can keep it from going. All we can do is love and appreciate the things we have in the present, for the time we have them. The more we try to grasp and hold onto them, the more they slip through our fingers. It is a harsh truth, but an important reminder to cherish the fleeting moments in life."


"I look at myself, and I see a person consumed by sadness. I am no longer satisfied with my current state. I feel so exhausted and weary, as if my body is heavy with fatigue. I begin to touch my face, tracing the dark shadows under my eyes. Since you left, Yoon, I've abandoned sleep. I cannot comprehend how you could leave and abandon me so easily. We vowed to stay together forever, to grow old together. And yet, here I stand alone, while you remain unchanged, while I have grown older by myself."

"My mind is constantly tormenting me, trying to bring me to the edge. I cannot bear to live without you. Without your presence, life has lost its luster. You were the light that shone in my life, and now that you're gone, my heart still clings to you. I take out the gold ring from my pocket, staring at it for a long while before speaking: Do you remember how we swore to never take these rings off? And now, while I keep wearing mine, you simply left. Why did you give up so easily? If only you had clung to me just a little longer..."

"Hyunjin washed his face before leaving the bathroom and headed to his children's room. There, he found Han and Felix sound asleep, their heads resting on the diaries in which they were drawing pictures of their deceased mother. They are innocent children, deserving of a stable and loving life, but it seems fate had other plans. Hyunjin's eyes filled with sorrow and tenderness as he looked at his sleeping children, silently wishing he could protect them from the harsh realities of life."

"Hyunjin gently lifted Han off the floor and laid him on the bed. He repeated the same action with Felix, placing him on the bed and kissing their foreheads. Hyunjin was determined to not become a cruel and harsh father to his children, but the weight of his sadness threatened to overcome him. The sight of his children, the last remnants of his late wife who he loved so dearly, was the only thing that kept him from losing control and screaming at them in his grief."

"Hyunjin tidied the room, putting everything in its proper place. He then switched off the light and went downstairs, where he came across a picture of his family, once large and joyful, now tainted with a sense of pain. In the picture, Hyunjin was seen holding Yoon, his late wife, around her waist, his smile spread across his face, along with their two children, who were also happily smiling. But that happiness had faded away after Yoon's departure, leaving a deep sadness in its wake. Hyunjin felt as if everything had suddenly turned black the moment she left."

Suddenly, a soft sound began to reverberate through the empty house, sending a chill down Hyunjin's spine....
