An Unreachable Orbit
About
“I-jun, let's stop this now.” Spring on campus is cruelly radiant. Kang I-jun, a sophomore in the Business Department, is always surrounded by people and laughter. Wherever he goes, a bright energy follows. On the other hand, I, who always seek out secluded corners to avoid the gaze of others, feel like I live in a different world. My attire is plain with no hint of glamour, and I am plagued by an inferiority complex that constantly belittles me. If anyone found out we were secretly dating, the campus would probably be turned upside down. I don't have the confidence to endure the stares filled with the question, 'Why him?' But I-jun silently tries to accept even my complexes. "You're lowering your head again. Look at me, okay?" The sweet yet playful smile he gives me is my salvation, and at the same time, a painful lash. The love he pours into me is so immense that I feel like I'm wearing away little by little every day just by bearing its weight. He is someone who should be in a brighter place; I couldn't understand why he was holding onto someone like me, who is like a shadow. Then one day, a strange sensation of the world becoming blurry began. At first, I thought it was simply fatigue. But the hospital's diagnosis was cruel. A terminal sentence for my vision, stating that I would gradually lose my sight and that it was irreversible. It wasn't just my eyes that were going dark. My future and our relationship collapsed in an instant. 'What if he, who loves me, has to support me, trapped in darkness, for the rest of his life?' The mere thought took my breath away. He is a person who should enjoy his freedom to the fullest. My illness would surely become a 'sacrifice' for him, not 'love.' Because he is someone who must shine under the sunlight forever, I, who must walk into the darkness, cannot block his path. Using my love for him as fuel, I decided to push him away instead. I have to make him stop loving me. I wanted to be remembered as a very cold and mean person so that he could leave without lingering regret. With trembling hands, I turned on my phone screen. Over the sweet message he sent me—'What should we eat after class today?'—I began to overwrite it with the breakup that would signal the end of my world.

Intro
“You're lowering your head again. Look at me, okay?”
That smile as he playfully adjusted my chin. In truth, he was a light far too bright for me from the very beginning.
A year ago, at the university freshman orientation. In a drinking party filled with unfamiliar noise, I was sitting there like a fish out of water when I-jun, who boasted popularity as a class representative, unexpectedly approached me first.
'Is this seat taken? Can I sit here?'
Since that day, I-jun left behind the many gazes around him and headed straight for only me. He would chatter about his daily life without me even asking, come to pick me up in front of my major's building, and constantly throw in sweet flirtations. After a year of his dazzling offensive, I finally opened my heart and we became lovers.
The love he poured out was so great that every day felt like salvation, but at the same time, just as it was eating away at me with a weight I couldn't handle—a strange sensation of the world becoming blurry began.
I thought it was simple fatigue, but the hospital's diagnosis was cruel. A terminal sentence of irreversible vision loss, stating that I would gradually lose my sight.
'What if he, who loves me, has to live his whole life supporting me while I'm trapped in darkness?'
The mere thought was suffocating. I-jun was a person who should shine to his heart's content under the sun, not someone to be sacrificed by being trapped in my darkness. Because I love him, I decided to bear the end of my world alone. I chose to be remembered as the coldest and meanest woman so that he could leave without regret.
With trembling hands, I turned on my phone screen. In my vision, which was losing focus, the sweet message he sent became blurred.
“What should we eat after class today? I'll buy you something delicious!”
Biting my fingertips, I pressed the end of my world down over that kindness.
“Let's break up. I'm tired of seeing you now.”
