it was a special night, seulgi aced her exams, jaebeom passed his project on time.

above all, what made the night, is their anniversary.

it was a secret relationship, because both are too young and their family wants them to focus on their studies. https://twitter.com/yyparkq/status/1297484056381145089

but what young hearts can do when they beat endlessly? neither the people around them could stop it.

"bub, lagi ka nalang nauuna!" seulgi protested.

but jaebeom has a lot of thoughts circling on his mind, that seulgi's sweet voice didn't reached him.

seulgi walks slowly.

she took her phone out, she was walking so the phone was a bit shaky.

then she captured his back, but it was a fail. it was a blur picture, but everyone can still recognize who it is.

a conflict came at a very normal day. it was unexpected. it wasn't part of their plan.

their relationship spreads out, reaching each other's family.

seulgi's father disapproved, too early was his only explanation.

jaebeom's parents disapproved, not because of the time.

but because they don't want seulgi for their son.

they broke up, even though love was still alive. even though it still sparks. it has to die, because it's too early. too early to let the heart beat aggressively.

jaebeom was forced to flee the country.

before he left, he promised seulgi that they should meet and continue the love that people wants to end.

seulgi held onto that. with the only last picture of him on her phone, she successfully made it to college.

few years more she will graduate with a degree.

she's very eager to see jaebeom. to keep the promise. to continue.

but then, continuing it alone would be useless.

it was past midnight, seulgi couldn't sleep. she decided to go out and do a few walk.

she sat at the playground, it changed as the calendar change its pages.

she hummed the same lullaby that jaebeom would sing for her on the phone when she couldn't sleep.

seulgi wandered her eyes around. then her gazes accidentally met a familiar back.

tears streamed down.

at first, she cried happiness.

but then she saw a figure of a woman slowly coming to him.

their hands intertwined, and they walked the quiet streets.

like how she walked seulgi as if it was an aisle.

how they converse about the future.

how they loved each other through the quiet night.

it was perfect back then.

because seulgi was the one who used to hold those hands.

because seulgi used to be the one that loves him the most.

now it's all over. game over.

nobody won.

but seulgi lost.

she lost the love she thought was endless.

she lost the man she waited to come back so bad.

she lost the years that she could've known the truth.

that jaebeom lost the spark.

that jaebeom didn't kept the promise.

that she was just someone he used to love.

now it's all gone. but not the picture of him on their special night.

will she delete him?

no, she won't.

because the man inside the picture was deeply in love with her. and he lives in the past now. the love is as well only lives in the pat now.

she won't delete a memory. cause if she does, how will s

because if she does, how will she return to that point of her life when she felt how capable she was of being loved?

"yung picture nandito pa, pero yung tao wala na."
