In a private hospital room, a boy named Goto lay on a bed unconscious, ventilator by his side.His mother sat beside him, crying and says why only my son has to suffer this curse , while his father standing in the corner with a blank face smoking a cigarette. The room was heavy with silence until the doctor walked in, holding a set of reports.
"Mr. Takahashi, these are the test results," the doctor said, breaking the stillness.
Suddenly, the story shifts two years back.
Goto, the boy now lying in the hospital bed, was once a healthy, athletic high school student. He had a well-built physique, complete with toned abs, and was admired by his peers. But everything changed one day when he suddenly began vomiting blood in his room. Over the next few months, Goto's health deteriorated rapidly. He lost significant weight, his once-thick hair thinned out to the point of near baldness, and even his eyebrows began to vanish.
Standing in front of the mirror looking at his body, Goto whispered, "Why me? Why do I have to suffer like this? I can't even enjoy my youth. I can't have a girlfriend like normal boys. What did I do to deserve this curse?"
His mother, overhearing his words, silently cried and prayed for his recovery. Goto was average in academics, Goto was one of the most popular boys at school due to his looks and charisma. To maintain this image, he wore a wig, coloured his eyebrows, and applied makeup to hide his condition. Plastering a fake smile on his face, he stepped out to go to school
At school, Goto joined his friends, who were chatting excitedly about a new video game. One of they boy says hey man did you play this new game,They laughed and joked together, and Goto felt a fleeting sense of normalcy. Goto then speaks in his mind my stomach is hurting so much I wanna go home with a serious face.In the break goto is suddenly surrounded by 2 3 girls one of the girls asks him hey will you come to karioke with us today goto smiles and says ahh no I am going out with boys today..goto then speaks in his mind I can't get in a relationship I can't hurt any girls feelings I'm just going to live for 2 years ..Goto sitting in room with a heavy rain outside goto swallows 5-6 tablets of medicine and drinks water goto says i should not eat these piece of shit tablets everyday I'm going to die so why should I ?!,he eats dinner with his parents gotos mom says to his father honey,you know I think Gotos health I becoming more good day by day isn't it his father says ya your right goto says in his mind they're just thinking that they are making me happy by these words that I'm gonna live.
One weekend, Goto visited his grandfather, a wise and kind man with whom he often played shogi. After a game, his grandfather asked, "Goto, do you know why we're given life?"
Goto, bitter and disheartened, replied, "Life is just a curse. We're born to suffer and work endlessly."
His grandfather shook his head and said, "No, my boy. Life is a gift. Yes, it comes with struggles, but it also offers beauty and joy. Travel, explore, and live fully. Don't waste the time you've been given."
These words motivates goto to live his life at the fullest. From that day, he decided to embrace life. He began talking to girls at school,Goto in the classroom says to a girl in classroom named ruki hey ruki you said that you wanted to go out with me so will go out with me ruki says really I will come then! After that he makes a new girl goto texts to a girl named wanabe and asks to go out with him,taking them out for dinners and karaoke nights with friends,goto suddenly comes out from the karioke room and runs to bathroom and he vommits blood he says looking at the mirror I have less time remained now I should enjoy these moments more ,and enjoying every moment. Alongside this, he pursued his passion for mountaineering, preparing for climbs and adventures.
As summer vacation approached, Goto decided it was time to leave his town and explore.goto says I guess it's the time for some adventure,to himself while packing the bags .He climbed mountains, visited temples and shrines, camped in jungles, and pushed himself to survive alone in the wild. Despite his worsening health, Goto felt alive for the first time.while sitting in the camp goto suddenly vommets blood once more goto says even if I'm in pain I will make memories..
Finally, he set his sights on the ultimate goal: climbing K2, one of the highest and most dangerous peaks in the world.goto says bye to his parents,goto says to himself now the last part of the journey atlast with a smile.Packing his gear, he flew to China, where he was supposed to meet a group of climbers.goto standing in the airport says how much time will that old coach will take!!.. suddenly a japanese girl comes,with her golden hairs and good looks her name is hina ,hina says to goto sorry I was late goto says to hina ohh no worries goto feels nervous because of her beauty hina says the other climbers are not coming and the coach had to go because of a emergency,so it's just two of us,so you are In ? Goto says off course with a smile
After reaching the starting point for climbing the mountain Hina standing beside goto says to goto are you going back or what!? Goto standing beside hina with a smile says Hell no my dead body will go home!! Hina smiles. While they were climbing Gotos foot slips from the rocks and his feet goes down he was going to fall goto says while falling aaaaa hina saves him by holding his hand they both look at each other in a romantic way goto says thanks for saving my life.goto asks hina while climbing why did you want to climb the K2 hina says because I guess I wanted to spend many days climbing with a stranger and sleeping besides him goto says come on give me the real reason hina says I wanted to have a big adventure so I came here,sitting on the rock they both were talking beside their camp hina talking with goto but goto looking at her by admiring her beauty goto suddenly says you know hina you make me feel less colder hina says what I'm a distraction huh?,goto says no your the reason why I want to keep going hina blushes, Their bond grew stronger with each passing day as they shared stories, laughter, sitting in the tent goto says so we have to share tent ha hina blushes,they both slept with a pillow between them,and suddenly after some days they started sleeping together cuddling with each other goto says by blushing we are doing this just to give heat to each other hina says by blushing yaa you are right.
After weeks of struggle, they reached one of K2's highest peaks.Goto and hina standing together seeing beautiful mountains scenery Gotos says to hina by confident face these mountains make me feel alive hina smile ya me too. Their journey was complete. Filled with pride and joy, they descended together, planning to return home on the same flight. Goto says to hina in a cafe blushing we should go home together we as we live in same country hina says to goto ya you are right blushing,goto says in his mind 2 years have been passed with a serious face.After arriving to japan goto takes the stares to go out of the aeroplane and suddenly falls down unconscious Hina shouts Gotooo with a worried face.
Two years later, Goto's time seemed to run out as he collapsed after landing in Japan.
The story returned to the hospital room. The doctor, holding the reports, smiled and said to Goto's parents, "I'm happy to inform you that Goto is now cancer-free. He's just exhausted and needs rest."
Tears of relief streamed down his mother's face as his father let out a deep breath, finally breaking his stoic expression.
At that moment, Hina burst into the room, tears of joy in her eyes. She hugged Goto tightly, even as he lay asleep, unable to hold back her emotions. His parents laughed through their tears, their hearts filled with gratitude and happiness.
In that room, surrounded by love, Goto's journey of survival and resilience came full circle.
