December 21, 7:00 PM.

Moonbyul should be happy since her day is tomorrow, and moomoos are starting to disseminate the hashtag for her birthday trend. There are fans who was greeting her a happy birthday in advance, and her friend also give their gifts and send their regards to her. It is supposed to be a celebration for another year of life but moonbyul lock herself in her room, depressed.

She have think enough of Irene's suggestion, all day and night, if she'll agree on running away with her. Moonbyul didn't gave her answer yet. But she have made up her mind this time. Moonbyul concluded everything on what's the best thing to do as she fetch her phone and dial Irene's digit.

With just two rings, Irene answer moonbyul's call.

"Byulie?"

Silence was winning between them as moonbyul was still silent after Irene spoke.

"I will go with you.." moonbyul spoke, making Irene flinched on the other side.

"but I have to do something first before I completely disappear in this country." She continue to speak lifelessly.

Irene's offer in running away is actually a good thing since the media and her company cannot locate her. Moonbyul will just completely vanished to their sight with no explanation on what have possibly happen. She knows her parents will get worried but she'll just inform them that she's okay and she's with a friend, same as to her friends.

But there is one person that is stopping her with Irene's offer..

"What is it?" Irene ask with anticipation. A smile was form in her lips as she heard moonbyul's decision. She feels so happy that moonbyul have decided to go with her.

"I want to celebrate my birthday with yongsun, and when the sun comes down, we'll go." She ended, closing her eyes as she spoke those words.

Her last day with yongsun. The last day she'll see and touch the girl. Moonbyul will definitely cherish that last day, scanning and memorizing yongsun's features. She will make this last day special with the person she love by her side.

"Okay, byulie." Irene said as they ended the call.

December 22. Byul's Day.

Yongsun woke up with a smile on her pretty face. The day is today and she can't help but to feel excited at the thought of her and moonbyul having a date together. She have already planned on where should they heading and reserved all the restaurant she wanted to go.

Yongsun was hopping as she drag herself at the closet in her room. She pick the most beautiful dress she saw and iron it neatly and perfectly. Her mind was floating with happiness as she think of moonbyul. She misses the girl so much that she wanted to skip everything and just be with her already.

Yongsun was alone in her apartment. Yonghee was traveling out of town to explore the beauty of the world. Even if it's pandemic, yonghee was still unstoppable on doing such plans. Traveling was her happiness, and yongsun wanted her sister to be happy.

Also, yongsun have called her parents asking if what time they will arrive. Her parents are visiting her apartment as they will celebrate their Christmas together at yongsun's place, and she couldn't be more happy about it.

It's 10 o'clock in the morning and yongsun was now on her dress, dancing at the beat of the music banging on her speakers. She fetch her phone placed on her bed, planning to changed the music when she saw the phone's battery life.

"Fuck! I forgot to charged my phone!" She murmured to herself as she took a glance at the battery percentage of her phone. She was so engrossed with the thought of moonbyul that she forgot the most important thing to do.

As she was about to thrust the pin inside the mobile, her phone rings and she answer it immediately without looking at the caller's ID.

"Hello~"

All Yongsun say before she abruptly ran towards the door with tears on her face.

1:00 PM

Moonbyul was standing at the place where she and yongsun have discussed on meeting each other. She have talk to the girl this morning and she knows the girl is excited as she kept squealing in the other line in silent. But moonbyul knows yongsun's personality. Even if yongsun would cover her mouth to muffle her squeals, moonbyul's hearing is as sharp as knives that even her breathing is audible in moonbyul's ears.

Yongsun have mentioned the place they will be exploring for today and moonbyul seems to be excited, not because of those places but because yongsun will be there with her.

Her feet is starting to feel numb while waiting for the girl to arrived, she have decided to find a decent spot to sit. She found a bench with no crowd and decided to sit there for a moment. Yongsun was late and she was worried why the girl isn't contacting her to inform why. But she just shrugged her shoulders, erasing her nervous state and heaved a deep sigh.

Moonbyul glance at her outfit to know if she's still presentable to look at. Her body was wrapped with a coat and she have a scarf on her neck. Underneath her coat was a white polo, paired with jeans and a white sneakers. It was simple but it is her style, and yongsun love it when she dressed like that.

It's funny how they know each others likes and wants.

Moonbyul open her phone to look at the time. It is past 2 in the afternoon and yongsun is still nowhere to be found. Moonbyul was fidgeting on her seat as she wandered her eyes everywhere, hoping she could see yongsun even just her shadow, but minutes have passed but still no good news.

Her phone buzzed indicating someone sent her a message. Moonbyul was excited to open her phone thinking that was yongsun, but she was disappointed when Irene's name popped up. She open it and read the message content.

Irene 💕•
I've managed to get us an exclusive private plane. Our flight will be this 7PM. I hope you won't change your mind.

Moonbyul tightly grip the hold in her phone. Their flight is 7PM and she hasn't spend her time with the girl she love. She tried to call yongsun's number but it always say it is out of reach and she is starting to lose hope.

What could possibly happened this time? She thought.

6PM

That's it.

Moonbyul was now squatting at the snowy road, still waiting with a heavy heart. The snow started to fall and she have no other choice but to embrace herself to fight the cold weather. She have been waiting for almost 6hrs, but yongsun's presence is still missing.

A tear fell out of her eyes as she bury her face between her knees. Moonbyul let her frustration burst out in that specific time, thinking why yongsun never kept her promise.

"I'll make your birthday special and that's a promise!"

She never made it. She always have a reason.

Moonbyul wanted to scream and let out the pain she's feeling. It was too much to handle that she just wanted to die here instantly.

Someone squatted infront of her and patted the top of her head. The hand that was place above was warm, making moonbyul slowly lift her head up to look at that person.

Irene.

Irene was giving her a weak smile, looking at her worriedly. Another set of tears fell out of moonbyul's eyes and just seconds later, she was sobbing at the arms of the girl, letting it all out.

"Let's go?" Irene said and place a kiss on byulie's forehead.

With a heavy heart and raspy voice, moonbyul spoke in a slow manner.

"Take me out of here."
