Faded Love
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I couldn't live up to what you expected. You said, if you like someone, you should pursue them boldly, without regrets. But, Grandpa, it's exhausting. I give up. Can I go to the other side and keep you company, Grandpa? I’ll take silence as a yes."
I took all the sleeping pills I had just bought at the pharmacy.
I was afraid James would send me back because of this incident.
I didn't want to live that kind of life anymore.
I didn't know what the meaning of my existence was.
But sleeping pills—shouldn't they help me sleep?
Why did I feel so uncomfortable?
My stomach twisted in pain, and my eyelids grew heavier.
The moment my eyes closed, I seemed to see James's figure.
