The Runaway Olympic Medalist and a Boy with A Disease

***

'Does it hurt when you fall off the ice?' he asked me in a tone which I didn't think I could read through. I smiled and of course, answered;

'Of course, but soon I got used to the pain of falling. Why'd you ask?' He turned away and looked at the road ahead of him. The wind brushed through our hair like a mother brushing her dear fingers through her son's.

'Quite like me. Whenever I breathe, I feel like I'm going to die. Humans need air to breathe but I don't have any air. So after getting used to the pain of always nearly dying, I've gotten used to it.'

'Is that so? Quite an explanation there,' I had been staring at his chest that has been going up and down slowly and slower then slower.

'Unless your from Mars, then you don't need air. I'm from Earth but I can't have the air. So maybe I'll move to Mars.'

Short Story ♡ Japanese Names Used

After winning the gold medal of Pyeongchang 2029, I haven't been so happy. I've broken three world records and four of my own. I managed to land a quintuple twice and I've made a breaking point in history's ice skating. But though, it doesn't seem like I'm filled yet. Filled with happiness fully.

But soon, I found out that the place that hadn't been filled with happiness will never be filled. Because that place is called "Others". And some others can't even fill their whole body with happiness.
