Inside collapsed time
Even my hopes
For us to be together
No longer matter
My love, tangled up
While looking for you
Is gone, gone away, gone away
I don't think I can stop you from leaving anymore

He still remember it clearly even though three years have passed since the last time he saw her. The saying of how first love will never be forgotten sure is true for him. She is his first love and it will never change even when he is over her.

Though some are blurry, he remembers everything that holds special means deeply.

Take it out one by one
As if it was all a dream
In the messy memories
I'll clean your memory up
Burn the most painful traces of you
I try to blow it all away
Pretend like nothing is wrong

Was seated behind the study tour bus they were on. Seperated three rows from her, his gaze still glued to her warmly. Whenever she laughed because of the jokes her' friends made, he will laughed too, though he never knew what the jokes were.

Jisung:*raise an eyebrow* Why are you smiling by yourself?
Seungmin:*shake his head* It's nothing.

Inside collapsed time
Even my hopes
For us to be together
No longer mattеr
My love, tangled up
While looking for you
Is gonе, gone away, gone away
I don't think I can stop you from leaving anymore

Not even an hour from departure, some were asleep from exhaustion of joking around. Some of them including her. She has her head rested on her's seatmate shoulder that was asleep too.

Seungmin:*whisper* She is sleeping.
Jeongin: You're not?
Seungmin:*startled* You surprised me Innie.
Jisung: Just sleep guys.
Jeongin:*rolled eyes* You are not even sleeping hyung.

I have no choice but to look
At all the broken memories
I kept falling to the floor and kept getting cut
This wound won't heal again
I know what to do
It was just nothing
Even if I swallow my heart
I'm the one who hurts no matter how hard I try

They stopped at a rest area for toilet break and almost half of the students took their time to stretch their aching back out of the bus. Leaving only the deeply asleep ones in. Still with those warm smile in his face, he walked toward her and fix her blanket to make sure she is keep safe from the cold air that blows.

Seungmin:*whisper* Rest well.
Jeongin:*shout* Hyung!

Inside collapsed time
Even my hopes
For us to be together
No longer matter
My love, tangled up
While looking for you
Is gone, gone away, gone away
I don't think I can stop you from leaving anymore

As they arrived to the destination they were heading since, each took turn to exit the crowded bus. As he, and the other two, are seated far behind in the bus, they were the last to exit. The moment he was out from the bus, his eyes immediately searched for her who had exit way before him.

Seungmin:*mumble* Where is she?
Jeongin:*groan* I'm getting older.
Jisung:*shout* Fresh air!

Anything
There's nothing left (everything that was like a dream)
Even if time goes by
It only hurts
The times I spent with you were just everything lightly
It's not a feeling I can shake off, how can I do this
No matter how hard I try to erase it, it's sad
How can I let this heart go as if nothing happened
Turn around eventually
I remember again

Final activity before their day ended was a campfire. The teachers who arranged this activity hoped to see the students singing or even joking with each other.

Without knowing, that final activity actually broke someone heart. He never even confessed but he is rejected already.

In collapsed time
Even my hopes (Woah-oh-oh)
All this time I believed it was fate (Everything)
I tried to ignore
Beside you
I couldn't stay (couldn't stay)
I'll let you go, go away, go away (Gone away)
Even on days like this, you won't know everything

Her boyfriend, a neighbor class' student, was there, seated right beside her with his arms circled on her waist securely. His lips slowly fell down and his eyes suddenly found the night blue sky interesting.

Seungmin:*mumble**sigh* She has someone already.

Woah, woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-ooh-woah, woah
Ooh, woah
Gone Away, gone away
I don't think so

Everything happened just before he graduated high school, which was three years ago. By now, he already move on with his live and could smile while thinking about the past.

How silly yet beautiful his first love experience was.

Seungmin:*chuckle* It sure was something beautiful.
