"Park Juyeon... she was, indeed, perfect."

Your eyes widen even more, but as you look at Hyunjin smiling sadly at the floor infront of you, you start to realize something. "You must have loved her a lot... didn't you?" you ask him.

Hyunjin doesn't give you an answer. Instead, he looks up as he starts to reveal the story of Park Juyeon that only he should have known other than Park Juyeon herself.

...

Four years ago, there was a girl on a stage infront of empty seats.

She dances, unaware of her surroundings or that anyone is watching her. She was too engrossed in her own art to care. Her every movement was performed with grace and she seemed to flutter like a falling petal as she moved. A smile is on her face. Anyone would be able to tell she loves what she does. But not everyone can tell just how much she loved it like the boy who watched her from the seats that would have been empty if it weren't for his presence.

Hwang Hyunjin, not much of a heartthrob that time, watches the girl with a smile on his face, his heart pounding as he watched her dance, seemingly pulling him towards the girl on the stage.

He doesn't know her name. Not yet. But he's willing to find out if only he could walk up to her and ask. For now, though, he's just watching her do just one of the things she's good at.

It wasn't long before the girl on stage realized that she was being watched, and she stopped abruptly, losing her focus and falling onto the ground as she lets out a brief yelp.

At this, Hyunjin immediately stands up, and he rushes to the girl only to stop when she looks up and glares at him just as he reaches just a few inches away from her.

"What do you think you're doing?" she asks quite threateningly and Hyunjin's eyes widen in surprise as he hears the girl's rude words contrasting with her graceful dancing just a while ago.

"Ah... well... uhm..."

"Were you spying on me or something?" she asks him, her eyes glaring at him under her furrowed brows.

"What? No! Of course, not!" Hyunjin immediately denies as he holds his palms out to her, only to end up on the ground with a grunt in the next second when the girl swipes her leg against his, making him lose his balance. "Ugh! Ow..."

The girl stands up, and Hyunjin quickly looks up at her again just as she dusts off her hands.

"Hey-"

"Please don't go watching me again when I want to do things alone," she tells him before she starts to walk away. But Hyunjin calls out to her first before she disappears.

"Wait!"

The girl stops, then she sighs as she turns to him. "What?"

"Can I at least know your name?" Hyujin asks, his eyes almost pleading.

The girl scoffs. "Should I be giving my name to a stalker?"

Hyunjin immediately shuts his mouth, and he looks down guiltily as he gives up on getting the girl's name for now. That is, until she actually give him an answer.

"Juyeon. Park Juyeon," the girl says and Hyunjin's eyes widen as he looks back up at her, his eyes still wide. "And you?"

"H-huh?" the boy asks and Juyeon rolls her eyes before she looks back at him.

"Your name. It would be really unfair if you know my name and I didn't know yours," she tells him and a look of realization forms on the boy's face.
