Arrive in front of Ji-chan's room and take a big breath.
I'm nervous today because it's always easy to open a door like this.I can see your heart beating faster.
It's okay, I'm sure there's no bad news.Because things are going so well.
Tighten up and slam the door.
"What is it?"
I can hear Ji-chan.That alone reassures me. [M]
It's Jill.
"Jill, what's going on in the morning?"
That's how he opens the door.
You look like you've always been kind.I look into his left eye. [M]These golden eyes remind me of Alicia.
"I need to ask you something."
"Well, go inside."
I can't hide my expression well in front of Hiji-chan. [M]He would have quickly realized that I was creating a dark atmosphere. [M]
The room was neatly cleaned and the desk was lined with a lot of documents.
It's impossible to lose so many talented people.
"What happened?"
Ji-chan sat down on the chair and asked me that. [M]I like Ji-chan's calm tone.
After hesitating a little, open your mouth.
Is Ji-chan sick?
I found my voice trembling a little.Ji-chan has a slightly troubled look on my question. [M]
This reaction has no good news.I felt it intuitively.
A pleasant cool breeze comes in through the window.
Answer me honestly.
Don't say anything. I'll say it again. [M]
"Oh, I'm sick... Was it Jill in the hallway yesterday?"
"... are you dead?"
"No, I'm not dying yet.But one day you will die.Man is bound to die.This is the only reason in the world that can't be overturned. "
"Don't die."
I suddenly feel like crying.After Alicia left, I decided not to cry...
But I can't stop this on my own.
"Jill, I'm still fine. I won't die for a while."
"Really?"
Ji-chan nods with a smile.
But I understand.That's a gentle lie to reassure me.
"I have a great job to do to rebuild this country.... but when you're done, will you give me a break? "
I couldn't nod to Ji-chan's words. [M]I don't want to leave a trace of his death on my head.
... but if that's Ji-chan's destiny, then we have to follow it.I can't say it quickly. [M]
"Okay."
I answered with tears. [M]
Ji-chan says "thank you" and gently strokes my head. [M]
Someday, I think I won't be stroked by this tiny big hand of Ji-chan, and my heart is about to tear apart.
Still, now we have to look forward.As long as Ji-chan is alive, I'll do my best.
