Red Hoodie
Description
Changhyun thinks it would be okay to die.
He has nothing left in this world, so why not just move on to the next? Something happened, so he thinks it would be okay to die. Something bad happened, so now Changhyun is in the hospital being prepped for surgery. If it goes right, then he'll lead a normal life. If it goes wrong, he'll certainly die.
But that's the least of his worries.
Every night Changhyun's been dreaming. He's gone to incredible places that one could only imagine. He's gone on adventures more dangerous than those of movies. There, he’s eaten the finest food, and seen the most beautiful sights. There, he met someone.
He met a boy in a red hoodie.
The boy took Changhyun to places that one could only imagine. He's taken Changhyun on adventures more dangerous than those of movies. There, they’ve eaten the finest food, and seen the most beautiful sights. There, the boy taught Changhyun something.
So, Changhyun thinks it would be okay to live…just a little longer.
Foreword
"To live is to struggle; it's overwhelming. Death is painless; it's nothingness. Life is hard. Death is easy. If you were to die, you'd never be hurt, but if you were to live, pain would be at every corner.Is it worth it to die and not feel anymore? Or can we find that light in the darkness and continue to live? Well, whatever the answer is, I know for sure that I am alive, I just don't know for how long..."
