Summary
Jisung is 8 years old - in a musky hospital room, with yellowing walls - when he hears the four words that profoundly change him. He grips the bony hand in his hand, pulse growing slighter by the second, listening unknowingly to the weak voice he holds so dear for the last time.
"Don't just survive. Live."
Next thing he knows, he’s 20: cold barrel of a Glock 19 handgun pressed against his temple; arms pulled to an unnatural angle behind his back; sirens reverberating through his skull; red-blue lights searing through his eyelids no matter how he screws them shut.
It hits him that, while he never forgot the words that were so pivotal to him, he may have lost their meaning somewhere along the way.
