Into the book
“Since I’ve already contracted this disease, I’ve decided to eat only delicious food for the next hundred meals before I die.
Oh, it was delicious.
"I have no regrets anymore! I want to die thinking that."
The reason is understandable.
I understand, but... how can you possibly decide to enjoy it so nonchalantly, knowing that you're destined to die after a hundred meals?
“But I always get bored eating alone.
When you eat, you just want to talk to other people.
This is delicious, he said.
So I was looking for someone to hang out with.”
"Why me, a complete stranger, when it comes to that person? I have family and friends."
--- p.21
We will definitely look like lovers in the eyes of others.
However, their true identities are a woman with little time left to live and a snowboarder who cannot fly.
A strange combination: a woman traveling toward her destination of death and a man accompanying her on her journey.
We had no future.
But Lee smiled as always, as if she was happier than the couple sitting next to her or the women in the group sitting inside.
“Oh, it was delicious.
“I ate well!”
--- p.77
I admitted it honestly.
It's a trauma that I've been carrying and a secret that I've never told anyone about.
A pathetic feeling of weakness that even I didn't want to admit.
But strangely enough, today, I had no hesitation in showing Lee my poor appearance.
What would be the point of lying to Lee, who honestly confessed that she had a limited lifespan and wanted to enjoy her meals until the end, about her true self?
--- p.164
In the work, the Dawn of Baeksik is still considered a mysterious disease shrouded in mystery.
Perhaps the key to solving this mystery lies in how we perceive the dawn of the 1000-day cycle—in other words, how we approach life. In a way, we are all suffering from the 1000-day cycle of incubation.
There will come a day when there are only one hundred permitted meals left.
No one knows when that will be.
All we can do is just be true to life.
Let's start with a delicious, filling meal. And let's chew and digest the life we've been given.
Following Lee's example, who always greeted me with a smile on her face, I too will continue to say these words.
“I will eat well today too!”
Oh, it was delicious.

Publisher's Review
A sentimental romance that leaves you desperately hoping for a miracle at the end of the story.
“…Let me travel with you until the very end, until the very last moment.”
★ Winner of the Poplar Pureful Novel Award
Lee, a food blogger who falls ill with a fatal disease after eating 100 meals.
Although his life is limited, he met Touya while looking for a travel mate to enjoy his meals until the end.
He suggests to Touya, who knows about his blog and has similar tastes, “Let’s go on a trip to find delicious food! Just the two of us!”
In fact, Touya barely survived a near-death experience after a serious fall during a snowboarding competition.
Although he quickly recovered his stamina, he was overcome by extreme fear and was unable to participate in the game.
A state of helplessness to the point where one describes oneself as a 'useless being'.
He starts a food tour without thinking about Lee's smiling face, and goes to the ski resort he wanted to stay away from, and faces his fears again.
Can you start a love that has a set end?
“I entrusted everything that would unfold in my future to Lee’s smiling face.”
Meanwhile, Rie, who always seemed to live happily, also had pain.
Not being able to tell your family about your illness.
I couldn't tell the person who needed to know the most for fear of ruining my mother's future, which was just beginning to find happiness.
However, persuaded by Touya, he goes to visit his parents to tell them the news and spend time with his family.
The sight of the two brings back memories of forgotten emotions, thinking, 'Yes, this is what love is like.'
The reassurance that I have someone on my side in this world where I feel alone.
The power of love that makes you do things you wouldn't normally do, and makes you jump into situations without a plan.
But can a love with a definite ending truly begin? Is their only fate to share a delicious meal and face an eternal separation? If you're curious about the final destination of this precarious and loving journey, I highly recommend reading this novel.
A man who survived a near-death experience but was unable to overcome his trauma.
A woman who has a terminal illness but lives each day with joy
A touching romance novel depicting dreams and youth.
Toya, a snowboarder who cannot compete due to fear caused by a fall.
Lee, a food blogger, suffers from the disease 'Dawn Baeksik', which causes death after eating 100 meals.
The two meet as foodie travel mates, discover their true selves through each other, and grow together.
The story of two people who met through the commonality of death and supported each other's dreams makes us realize the true meaning of life.
In particular, the sight of the two loving the lover in front of them to their heart's content despite the reality of a limited life makes the reader's heart ache even more.
It shows that even if we can't promise the future, if our eyes are on each other in the present, we can be happy without anyone to envy.
Furthermore, the two prove how valuable a life focused on the present is.
We are all, in a way, suffering from the latent period of the dawn of the 100-day cycle.
There will come a day when there are only one hundred permitted meals left.
All we can do is just be true to life.
_Translator's Note
I am happy when I eat something delicious.
But what if each repetition of that happiness diminished your life? Could you truly be happy eating a meal that cost you death? The answer lies in Lee's cry, "I enjoyed it!"
The courage to eat the current meal deliciously and smile brightly even if you face death after eating a hundred meals.
We are made to reflect on life through Lee's figure, who enjoys each day without fear even in the face of certain death.
“…Let me travel with you until the very end, until the very last moment.”
