My angel who left so fast that he couldn't skip my meals even though he hadn't eaten for a few months and told me to pay with his credit card," he recalled. "I'm glad I'm this big even though I'm holding out for pain control, but I was really embarrassed."

Then "You did a great job, and be happy there without any pain! I gave my grandmother the present you gave me to think about her! Instead, I will always be with you in my heart." And then be my brother next time, I'll be really good to you." He touched everyone's heart.

I'll take care of my aunt, uncle, and Wook, so don't worry!! "Please be happy living a normal life in a house with my grandfathers and a sea view that my sister had longed for!" she said, first posting a picture of her late grandfather and revealing "Please take care of her."

Lastly, "I love you so much, Yewon! Thank you so much for coming to my family and being my sister..." I miss you already. I love you."
