Chapter 103 - I have to live (1/2)

They say that death can find you anytime. But, there is also another saying in the wind. You can't die unless it's your time to die, even if you jump off the top of the building.

That's what happens to Kang Si An. In his drunken stupor, he didn't notice that the cable got entangled with his left foot. He jumps from the building, falls through the air, hoping that death would free him through his suffering, only to find out that even death doesn't want him.

In the morning, people are shocked to see a man suspended in the middle of the air - one tug and he would fall. They click pictures and make videos. Someone is sane enough to call help. The man is unconscious in the air. It takes a lot of efforts to save that man.

The netizens have been dissing him on his social media for leaving such a message. When they hear his attempt at suicide, the reactions are mixed. They don't know whether to call him attention seeking fool or someone born with an extreme stroke of luck. Even if it was a fake suicide attempt, is there any person in the world who would live because his foot was bȧrėly tangled in a cable?

It's luck. Pure luck.

His story becomes popular again. Many people want to see who this woman is. How cruel she is to him? Why wouldn't she come and forgive him?

Kang Si An wakes up in the hospital. There is only emptiness in his eyes. He gazes out of the window, waiting for death to seek him.

”How long are you going to live like that?” Manager Jeong clicks her tongue. She has invested so much in this boy. He is trying to die when he is at the peak of his career. He keeps taking risks, doing whatever he wants where he wants. ”It's just a woman. Get over her. Stop being clingy. Date someone. There are plenty of women who would still throw themselves at your feet. So...”

”Clingy?” He looks at her. There is no anger in his eyes. If someone called him clingy before he remembered, he would have argued and fought with that person. The previous Kang Si An was never clingy.

There is only that woman who can turn him this way. Their relationship was older than a thousand years. She left him. He's still hoping for a miracle. He will never be able to get over her. There is no meaning. He has lost the right to be by her side.

Manager Jeong sighs. ”Don't attempt anything like that. Think about your family. How will they feel?”

Mother married someone last year. Half brother is trying the acting career. Both are doing well. They don't need him. He doesn't need them. There is only one person.

Kang Si An spends some days at the hospital. He returns to his home. He hasn't changed his mind. He prepares the noose to hang himself. Unluckily, the noose breaks down. He stares at the ceiling and laughs like a crazy man. The gods must have gone mad. Is he really not allowed to die?

”Challenging me?” He won't give up. He pours himself a drink and mixes it with poisons. He shakes the glass before gulping it down without any hesitation. As his body starts going numb, he lies down on the cold floor.

”Kyuri...”

”You won't come back. So, I am going away.”

”I am too weak to bear your punishment.”

”Please let me say goodbye.”
