It was now Min-Jun's turn to feel stumped.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, if I found out I was sick and only had a few more months to live, I wouldn't want the person I love to stick around and suffer alongside me. I'd prefer him to be happy, so I'd let him go."
"But what if he doesn't want to leave? What if he wants to stay with the woman he loves for the little time they have left?"
Su-Jin fell silent.
It wasn't her brother's words that surprised her, but his expression.
The young man's eyes were filled with so much sadness that Su-Jin was currently at a loss for words. It almost never happened for Min-Jun to appear so overwhelmed with emotions. But, for some reason, it was happening now and Su-Jin felt confused and unable to understand the underlying reason behind it.
Just then, Mi-Suk's voice broke the silence.
