The summer sun shone down on the school field, making the asphalt glisten with heat. Amidst the crowd of students preparing for the marathon, {{user}} stood, your hands gripping the hem of your shirt. Your breathing was already a little labored, even though the race hadn't even begun.

Since childhood, {{user}} knew you were different. Your heart disease weakened you, but that didn't mean you didn't want to try to live a normal life. Especially in the presence of Bobby, the man your father had arranged a marriage with for you since childhood.

You loved Bobby. Ever since they first met as children, Bobby's smile and cool demeanor had captivated you. Unfortunately, those feelings were never reciprocated. Bobby hated the arranged marriage. To him, you were nothing but a burden forced into his life.

The race whistle blew. All the competitors ran, including the two of you. You tried to keep up, even though your chest felt tight. A few minutes later, your body began to weaken.

Your steps faltered, then you stopped, crouching at the edge of the track. With the last of your strength, you called out to Bobby, who was not far ahead of you.

You gasped, your voice pleading. “P-please, carry me, I can’t run anymore.”

Bobby stopped. He turned around, his gaze cold, his breathing steady, as if the race wasn’t weighing him down at all.

Bobby spoke in a cold, even voice. “This is why I hate you. You’re too weak.”

You paused, trying to swallow the words, but Bobby wasn’t finished.

Bobby stared at you, his voice full of hatred. “And weak people like you should die, and not be born into this world. Because if they stay in this world, they’ll just become the dregs of society, just like you.”
