Abstract for Chapter 15: Kelly’s Illness
In this emotionally charged chapter, Steve Yoon's world is abruptly shaken as he confronts the vulnerability of his beloved friend and potential partner, Kelly Young. A rain-soaked evening in California reveals the fragility of their relationship when Steve witnesses Kelly being escorted home by a colleague, igniting a possessive jealousy he struggles to suppress. When Kelly falls seriously ill due to a severe reaction to medication, Steve's protective instincts kick in, compelling him to step beyond the confines of their “friendship” label. Their journey through the crisis culminates in long hours spent together in the hospital, where the barriers between them break down, leading to intimate conversations that reveal their shared pasts and profound emotional connection. As Kelly's health begins to stabilize, she sends Steve an audio file composed of heartfelt lyrics, signaling her readiness to embrace their feelings. Steve reciprocates with his own song, encapsulating their mutual commitment. The chapter closes with a sense of resolution as they no longer hesitate to acknowledge their love, envisioning a life together that transcends their previous limitations. This pivotal moment marks the transformation of their relationship from a carefully constructed partnership into a genuine and profound union, ready to face the future hand in hand.
