After my treatment ended, I returned home.
Silence...
For a moment, everything was quiet.
But I had always been alone.
I had always isolated myself from others.
However... my family was different.
They were the reason that made me endure this hell.
But now...
I cry—
while the anger burns inside me.
Why must the lives and worth of the weak be defined by the strong?
Why this discrimination?
Aren't we all human?
Aren't we equal?
Hahahahaha... HAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHAHA!!
No.
Not all humans are equal.
I have understood that now.
As long as I am fine, people care.
But if not...
they will take everything from me.
Life has two faces.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside—
"Hey, Kim! Can you hear me, man? Are you inside?"
I turned my face toward the window.
"Oh—Jack..."
"Kim, why haven't you been answering your phone?"
I look at my phone.
Ah... the battery is dead.
..
"Sorry, Jack. Wait a moment—I'll come right away."
I opened the door.
"Please, come in."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
"But Jack...
There's something I have to tell you."
"Of course, what is it?"
"But before that... I saw one of them.
I saw the same driver.
He didn't speak to me...
He spoke to my neighbor."
"Wait—what?!
Was he with them?
Was he... one of them?!"
Shock and panic fill me.
Jack...
