Two months. She had two months left to live. His eyes flooded with tears the second she told him the news. Her parents couldn’t afford the surgery. Her only other option was to make the most of life until time ran out for her. She couldn’t tell him that part. Surely he’d work himself dead to pay for it.
“That…that’s it? They’re not even going to try to save you?”
“There’s nothing they can do, Tae…”
Angry and sad tears mixed in a flow down his face. “All right…the next two months will be the best two month of your life, then.” He smiled sadly.
“It’s all right…what did we expect? Brain tumors are hard to treat…”
“It’s not ok!” He sobbed suddenly. “How will I live without you?”
Nia frowned and pulled him into a hug. “I promise…we’ll meet in our next lives, ok?”
Tae continued to sob into her shoulder. How could he wait that long?
