Youth is more than just the physical state of being young. It's a mindset, a state of being full of innocence and naivety and vulnerability. Being able to give life the benefit of the doubt, being able to trust people until given a reason not to, rather than the other way around. It's living without inhibitions, without the capacity for regret. It's pure and raw and requited.

It's humanity.

And people, people like Jeon Jeongguk, don't appreciate it until they've lost it.
