After six months of marriage.

The older man lay on the bed, taking his last breaths while holding his granddaughter's hand. "OH-H, my Ava, don't cry. Didn't I tell you, you don't look good when you cry?" he said with great effort, his strength fading.

The room was filled with people, each with their own reasons for being there. Some had been forced to come, while others had shown up out of duty. But amidst the crowd, only one person truly loved the man lying in the bed-his granddaughter, whose puffy eyes betrayed the weight of her grief. How could she not cry, knowing her beloved grandfather was about to leave this world?

"I'm sorry I married you off at such a young age, but Donghae assured me his grandson will take good care of you. I know they're different from us, but promise me you'll do your best to live well with them and your husband. Promise me, Ava." His voice was low but clear, meant for his beloved granddaughter.

"I promise you, Grandpa," Ava replied through hiccups from crying.

Jinwoo's elder son had already passed away, and now his younger son had arrived from Daegu with his family to be by his side during his final moments.

"Seok, come here," his father said slowly, calling his younger son closer.

Seok approached and listened intently to his father's struggling words.

"Please... take care of my child. Inform her husband to bring her back; it has already been six months since her marriage. She needs to live with him," he said with great difficulty.

"Don't worry, Father. I'll handle everything," Seok replied calmly.

Thus, he left this world in a state of calm and peace.

When Donghae learned that his best friend had died, he suffered a fatal attack and passed away on the same day.

Two best friends born on the same day are destined to die on the same day...
