1. It was a long day at work, and my mood was off.
Memuat…Memuat…
1. Even my boss noticed...
2. "Are you alright, seoji?"
Memuat…Memuat…
1. "Hehe, I'm fine sir.."
1. "Working hard as always, huh?"
1. "Yes, ma'am."
1. "What's up with the fat lip? Did someone give you a hard time?"
1. "No, it was my own fault. I fell."
1. "Well, if anyone ever gives you a hard time, you let me know, okay?"
1. This ajumma, a sanitation worker, had become a sort of friend during the quiet days at the store.
1. "Uh huh."
2. She once told me about her husband who died from cancer ten years ago, after forty-five years of marriage.
1. It was hard to believe she could remain so positive after such a loss.
1. "You know, if anyone ever tries to give you trouble, just let me know."
2. "I've become quite the"
1. "I've become quite the expert at throwing punches these days. Haha, just joking, but seriously, I've got your back."
1. "May I ask you something personal?"
1. "There's no such thing as a personal question with me. Go ahead."
2. "How do you stay so cheerful after losing your husband? I can't even begin to imagine getting through something like that."
1. "Didn't you once tell me you lost your parents a few years ago?"
1. "Yes, I did."
1. "..and here you are, doing fine."
2. "I've seen you laughing with friends here."
1. "Losing someone doesn't mean we stop living."
1. The first year was tough, like being stuck in time. But then, I realized I'm still here.
2. I could stay stuck or move on and make the most of my life. I chose to live as me, hyun-bin.
1. "Live, as he would've wanted for me."
1. "It sounds so simple when you say it."
1. "It is, once you really think about it."
1. I felt like such a coward.
1. Here I was, afraid just to date someone because the idea of losing her in the future was so painful.
1. I wasn't completely delusional.
1. I knew that if I allowed it, sera and I could have something great.
1. I'd been shown glimpses of that already.
1. "Stay well and take good care of yourself."
2. "Thank you! Please be safe as well."
1. I also knew how easily I could screw it up and she'd be gone, leaving me shattered.
