Chapter 2
When people are posed with the question, “Did you live life to the fullest?”, how many people can say “Yes!” with confidence? Only a person that had spurned the hand of negligence and indolence could answer in such a fashion. These were the people running towards the goal of happiness. They were on the right path.
However, this was a difficult question for many people. It was common for a person to yell, ‘I want to live my life to the fullest!’, yet it was rare for one to stick with it to the end. This was why many called such motto a short-lived resolve.
With that in context, Sungyoon wouldn’t hesitate to answer ‘Yes!’ when asked ‘Have you lived your life to the fullest?’ This was the reason why he thought he had been leading a happy life.
He had a not so small fortune, and he had held a high position in society. He had a beautiful wife and a cute daughter. He had a loyal friend. In terms of societal and familial life, everyone would be jealous of the life he led. He believed he could be happy for the rest of his if he continued to work diligently without showing too much greed.
However, the road of life wasn’t that easy. Even if one was walking down a straight path right now, there was a chance that the road could be in a completely different state on the other side of the hill.
It was a clear day. There were a couple of clouds in the sky, but the clouds only enhanced the feeling of refreshment brought on by the sky. The sunlight came down unimpeded as it shone on the ground. It was a weather that made one drop everything to head outdoors. It was a weather that could invigorate one’s spirit. Even someone that normally doesn’t care about others would show generosity to others. It was such a weather.
Despite the world enjoying this nice weather, it was business as usual for the people. In some ways that was good and in other ways it was bad.
Boom!
“Kuhk!”
