"Hello?"

"..."

"Are you still there?"

"It's me."

"..."

"K-kyungsoon?"

"Please don't hang up!"

"I won't. What do you want?"

"Jisung told me."

"I know."

"No. Jisung told me about you."

"What?"

"He told me about your situation."

"Are you joking?"

"I wouldn't."

"So... let me guess. He gave you my number?"

"It's not funny. Please stop laughing."

"He wouldn't do that."

"He did it anyways."

"He wouldn't do that."

"He told me but not everything."

"I don't think there's more that I can tell you."

"He told me you're sick."

"I am."

"Why do you sound so confident about that?"

"I've been told I'm sick for all my life. There's actually nothing left to hide, to be honest. Everyone tells me I'm sick and I'll reply, hell yes."

"You know you're not funny, right?"

"No one really talks about my sense of humour, Kyungsoon. They fear that they may offend me if they talk about it. They fear I may die because of the lack of support from my humor. So they go along with it. But it's not like their empty support fills me anyway— it is empty for a reason."

"Yeah right."

"I hate jokes like those."

"Yet you do that as well."

"We all do that anyway."

"You know... you can talk it out to me."

"Why would i?"

"I'm willing to help you."

"How would you do that? Form a miracle?"

"No. Stop."

"I heard that a lot, y'know? They said they'll help me yet where are they now??? in places i don't know. Everyone who says that abandons me."

"I won't."

"You won't? You don't even know anything."

"That's why I'm trying!"

"Then how about you try to solve your problems with that jihoon boy? Your problem with him is far more easier than mine."

"Let's not talk about him. Please, think about it. I can give you time."

"I'm tired of false hopes, 'soon. I don't want to spread the word anymore. You're not going to help me, you're just going to feel pitiful for me. Nothing will change even if I tell you."

"Okay. Then you shouldn't have let any of this happen."

"What do you mean?"

"To let me fall hard."

Call ended.
