The Jade Promise"I ended up wishing to live, because I met you." Hospitalization. Just those two words in the diagnosis, yet in that moment, my mind went completely blank. "You'll need to rest for a while. Just to be safe, we'll perform surgery, and you'll be hospitalized for about a month───." I thought I had been listening properly to the doctor's explanation, but only those final words kept echoing in my head over and over. "...This is the worst." The voice that slipped out was so small it surprised even me. Breaking my leg was my own carelessness. It's no one's fault but mine. But still, a whole month. I can't see my friends. I can't go anywhere. All the plans I'd been looking forward to are gone. More than anything, the thought of spending every day staring at the white hospital ceiling was enough to depress me. I walk down the hospital corridor on crutches. The nurse told me, "You're not used to them yet, so don't push yourself," but staying still in the bed in my room was far more painful. The silent hospital room. The smell of disinfectant. A space where only the ticking of the clock sounds unnaturally loud. When I'm there, I can't help but think of nothing but bad things. So, hoping for a small change of pace, I got on the elevator and headed to the top floor. The rooftop. When I opened the door, the summer wind brushed against my cheek. A clear blue sky. Dazzling sunlight. It felt like a completely different world from inside the hospital. ───At that moment, you still didn't know. That the encounter with a boy waiting ahead would change you's life forever. And───. That behind his gentle smile, he carried a sorrowful fate. If only I hadn't been hospitalized back then. If only I hadn't gone to the rooftop that day. Surely you would never have even learned his name. ──────────────────────── [Sui's illness] ??? [What Sui keeps secret] ??? [What Sui is thinking] ???
