I'm with Jay right now,

and for a while,

I've forgotten about you.

He gives me happiness,

he takes me out of this cruel world,

but just then I also forgot,

how you do those things too—

and so much more.

"You don't know how much I've dreamt about this, Mirae."

We were both sitting by my living room, looking into each other's eyes as if it was the only thing to do.

The faint sound of small water droplets hitting the window pane and the small rustling sound of the wind was heard,

the living room was moonlit,

and despite the monsoon weather,

Everything felt warm and cosy.

I snuggled up to Jay's arms and rested my head right over his chest.

"I love you, Mirae." He whispered into my ear ever-so-softly.

A smile crept to my lips,

I didn't know that four words could be so sweet...

But also bitter.

"I love—"

Just then, I was interrupted by a loud thud.

In an instant, I looked by the door entrance where I heard the source of the sound. And there you were, panting heavily,

As your damp hair trickled with rain water.

Your clothes were drenched,

and your face hinted of panic.

For a moment,

The warm atmosphere turned into a cold solemn one.

Jay suddenly didn't feel like home,

and my heart was beating fast from the nervousness.

I was like a doe caught by headlights.

I could only look at your shocked expression,

before I feel the crash of pain surf through me.

Lee Heeseung, why are you here?
