Bab 86: Selfishness (2)

"Chunghee, don't be stubborn. I know you're hurt. But, don't let it make you ignore your condition."

"I just feel so bad if you sacrifice so much for me. If you do it, then I feel like I need to pay you double. I can't do it. I can't pay you with a feeling nor money."

Finishing my sentence, I immediately turned around, turning my back towards him, then pulling the white blanket so that it covered my whole body. I curled up in the blanket like a shrimp in a frying pan.

He also spoke with a hand that touched my head, stroking it gently, "Chunghee, I told you, don't think about it. You don't have to owe me. It doesn't matter if you don't reward my feelings. I don't mind at all. As long as you don't ignore your condition, that's enough for me."

"You know, I just want to be with you. I'm afraid that if you ignore yourself, I won't be with you much longer. I'm afraid of that. I just got a chance to be with you, so please, don't make me miss this chance."
