Gyeom saying his brother never had things he wanted to do, that he didn't have any friends, then Jun writing to him saying he did want to live after the incident, that he had many things that he loved doing, and that he had one good friend with whom he really enjoyed spending time and doing things together. and suddenly all their life together as brothers is reframed not in relation to jun's depression, accident, and subsequent recovery, not in terms of their life as orphans with Jun raising him, but in terms of how much they loved each other. How all the effort and bad things were possible to sustain because they loved having a life together. watching movies and eating and getting a house with a white wall. I did have a friend I clicked with very well.
I knew it was coming and I still sobbed my way through it
