immortal heart [1.1]
When I first laid eyes on you, I did not know at that time... that the word forever could be so fragile and fleeting.
that day I lost someone important to me.
There are many metaphors about life, but I paid them no need.
I was young. I was invincible. I could do anything.
then suddenly that metaphor came crushing down like a billboard.
life was a soap bubble. It takes only a single breath for it to burst.

How do you like it? I got a half price back at the convenience store.
Rose
I guess part-time jobs have their perks.
Rose
what's wrong? you've barely touched your food.
Rose
I thought lasagna was your favorite?
Rose
sorry... I could only afford the ones you could reheat at the stove...
Ray (15 years old)
lasagna's your favorite too.
Rose
I know. like I said, pretty lucky-
Ray (15 years old)
your portions much smaller than mine, big sis.
Rose
Hm... I'm not really hungry.
Ray (15 years old)
that's a lie. You've been working extra hours with just a sandwich in your bag.
Rose
it's fine. I promise. Besides, you're a growing boy.
Ray (15 years old)
...I wish I could work too.
I reach out and ruffle my beloved little brother's hair playfully.
Rose
you're going to rest up, get better, and then I'm going to have you working eight to five and still have time to give me a massage.
Ray (15 years old)
will I even get better?
Ray (15 years old)
I'm always sick...
Rose
I'm sure you will someday.
Ray (15 years old)
but when will that happen? I want to help you too. I'm useless.
Rose
Don't you go emo on me, kid. You're not useless... You're brilliant!
Rose
look at those little gadgets you tinker with. I could never do that!
Rose
I bet you'll make a good engineer or inventor someday.
Ray (15 years old)
someday...
Rose
Don't worry about it! The way you are now is enough to make me happy.
Rose
Now eat that lasagna before it gets cold.
Ray broods for a bit and spoons the pasta into his mouth. in just a few bites, it has already disappeared.
Rose
(don't worry mom and dad... I'll take care of him. please, watch over us.
Rose
Ray, wake up! You have class today!
I look in the kitchen, but Ray isn't there, the bathroom is also empty.
Rose
Ray, this isn't funny! You'll be late!
My heart is pounding,I rushed Into his bedroom and I can't see anyone.
I rush out of the door, ignoring the hot and sharp pavement hurting my bare feet.
The cold air touches my cheeks and makes the tears feel like ice.
that day, my only brother disappeared without a trace.
