--------------------------------------------------------

'Today again, I open my eyes with this pain engraved in my heart. It has been exactly a month since you left this cruel world.

Everyone seems to have started moving on with their lives.

Seokkyung told me again yesterday.... That I also have to move on, but she would never understand.

How my life could never be the same after you were cruelly taken from this dark universe. '

When I'm frantically running away
And look back because I'm out of breath
The footprints on top of the memories that have whitely piled up.

'Everything that's left with me... Is the small remnants of memories that we made.

At least, they weren't all that bad... Right?'

"I'll wait for you until you come then."

'Thinking back to our last encounter.... My heart still flutters, you were so beautiful that night.

One thing I regret not telling you.... Was how beautiful you have become and also....

How much I missed you.'

Chuckling rather sadly, a lone tear pricks through the barrier and his fake facade. As if it was in slow motion, the single tear trickles down his pale cheeks.

' And now.... I could only comfort myself with the memories left of you.

If those bits of memories were islands, my footsteps must have already made their imprints... right?'

Footsteps that have no destination
The place that is full of you
[You're] not here, not even the least bit of shallow darkness
[You're not here in] this place where I'm left alone after following you day and night.

Tracing his fingers on the shiny and black ivory grand piano, a bitter huff and a exhausted yet lonely sigh filled the odd yet silent piano room.

'I have also convinced myself so many times internally.

You must be happy to finally be at peace.... right?

I tried.... tried to find happiness for you. I prayed everyday, prayed and hoped that in your last moment. It was not just the memories of the monster that did this to you and the painful yet sad moments that filled your mind.

Instead I hoped that as you closed your eyes and room your last breath, you only remembered the happy and beautiful ones.

But not matter how much I try to forget you. I learned after a week, that it was after all.... Futile.'

Holding onto the leather folder containing her music sheets, he had a blank and unreadable expression on his face.

A few seconds, and soon a minute passed
