I was sitting in the village stadium, staring at nothing, remembering.
I had stopped in the morning to leave flowers at the door of the theater, life was not easy since he disappeared and he never returned. The case was never solved and his body was never found, the owner of the theater closed the establishment two days after he disappeared, my statements were of little use, that day I did not see him at all.
Every day I took the same route, from the theater to the stadium, from the stadium to my house, and if it was school season, I would go to my school. The days had lost their color and fun.
Rest my head on my hands when I see a child approaching me.
- T-Tae? -My eyes are moistened, no, this can't be true, Tae died a long time ago, why does he appear to me now at this age?
-Jungkook? - The surprised man looks at me. - Why do you look so old?
Without thinking twice, I hug him tight and cry, it was him, it was real, but how did this happen?
-Jungkook what's up? - Tae asks me hugging me.
- I don't know Tae ... what day is it? - That question out of context, I have not the slightest idea why I asked it.
-It's December 10th - Tae's words give me a horrible blow to the heart, no, it's not December 10th and we are not close to that date, today is July 15th ... but December 10th was the day Tae disappeared.
-What are you planning to do today? - I ask him trying to hide all the pain that this date generates.
-I can't tell you,- he tells me with that smile that he hasn't seen for years. - It is a surprise for you my little Kook.
-Come on Tae tell me,- I insist smiling. - You're talking to little Kook from the future, not the one from the present.- I smile and a tear falls from my eyes.
- You promise not to tell him. -He looks at me with his tender eyes, I nod. - Well, I plan to surprise little Kook inside the theater, I'll tell him to be boyfriends. - My heart beat hard inside me and I started to cry.
That day, December 10, I never got to go into the theater ... I never went into that theater alone, it was always with Tae because I was afraid to go in alone, so I waited for him outside, until 11 at night when my parents came for me ... he never left the theater.
I felt Tae's little hands dry my tears and a little chill went up my spine, I smiled at him.
- Why are you crying? - Tae looked at me worriedly.
-It's nothing, it's just that ... don't wait for me inside the theater, you know I'm afraid to go in alone ... wait for me outside. -I smile hoping that he will listen to me.
-Ok, I'll do that. -Tae smiles but he turns as if someone is calling him. - My mom calls me, I have to go.
-Wait,- I grab his little wrist so he doesn't go away and pull him towards me hugging him. - 10 years from now, July 15 at 5:00 P.M. outside the theater, I'll wait for you there.
Tae disappeared from my arms, I started crying alone in the completely empty stadium.
