The Hour of the Mortal Affliction: An Extra's Tale

She wasn’t the family’s heir, or even the cute and adored youngest child, but the ambiguous middle child, Hero, the one who would always be outshone by others. The girl whose only hobby was to draw had come to know that she had only one year left to live.   So, she suddenly went to visit her fiancé, with who she had never had any interactions. Within her grasp were the documents needed to annul their engagement, just as he desired.   “To be frank, I want to live here for one year.” “…Are you crazy, Young Miss?” “In exchange, I’ll break off the engagement.”   However, she did not know then. That she would receive all the attention and affection that she hadn’t received for her whole life.
