I thought that too like how he maybe pretending they are just sick not dead ,everything is normal joon
But i saw ZZZZ ZZZ ZZZ things in that chapter. plus the male lead said that his father has the same disease but died really fast. so i think they are alive
even if theyre not theyre basically death tbh, like just let them pass with dignity it must be boring as fuck lying there all day must be why they tryna starve themselves
Seriously he's parents look dead to me or are they just too sick to eat ,get up
