He was dropped from a helicopter for the first time in Jindo City. A doctor carried him down on a stretcher. His entire body was covered in blood; all he wanted to do was see her.
The only thing missing at the time was the entire world telling her that he could not live any longer, that he was about to die.
That was a heartbreaking feeling. She had risked everything to save him at the time.
Fortunately, she had succeeded. She had won the bet.
The sight of him sitting in the tractor, gasping for air, terrified her even more.
There were no traces of blood on his clothes, but there were no hints of blood on his face. A comrade who had died a long time ago lay beside him. She was afraid he would end up like his comrade and sleep forever; her heart would stop beating.
He reached out his arms toward her at that precise moment. When he did not have the strength to hug her, she lost all of her strength.
