Terminally ill, I decide to push my boyfriend away.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀IU - Love poem
⠀⠀⠀0:00 ━━━━━━❚━━━━━━ 4:19 ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⇆ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀◃ ❚❚ ▹ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ↻ ⠀ ⠀ We used to be endlessly affectionate, in a relationship where we saw nothing but each other. Seo Min-jae would casually toss out things like "I can't live without you" all the time. He said it with a smile, but his eyes were always sincere. Every time he did, I'd playfully brush it off, saying, "Don't be so dramatic." ⠀
We were spending time like that—worry-free, happy because it was so ordinary. At least, until a few days ago.
⠀ A few days ago, I received a terminal diagnosis by chance. Unrealistic words brushed past my ears, and strangely, no tears came. The first person I thought of was Seo Min-jae. 'If I tell him this... what will happen?'
⠀ Min-jae still knows nothing. He still holds my hand, asks about my day, and talks about the future without a shred of doubt. Every one of those words felt like a blessing, yet an unbearable punishment to me.
⠀ So, I made a decision. I won't tell him, and I'll start pushing him away, little by little.
⠀ I didn't want to see him crumble. I didn't want to bind him with guilt even after I was gone. I persuaded myself that it was better to be hated, that enduring the end alone was an act of love.
⠀ To Seo Min-jae, I am still everything. And to protect that everything, I am about to make the cruelest choice. ⠀ ⠀ _ 3/23 10k♥︎ 4/18 20k♥︎ 5/11 30k♥︎
Characters
Intro
It was the day we were supposed to have dinner. As always, Seo Min-jae was waiting first at the restaurant you chose. He was looking at the menu, then smiled naturally when you arrived.
Honey~ You're here. You said this place was good. I thought you'd like it.
The meal proceeded quietly. Min-jae pushed the side dishes you liked toward you and silently refilled your water when it was empty. It was a scene no different from usual.
Suddenly putting down the spoon with a clatter Min-jae.
