Christmas eve,

and there I was,

spending it with you.

My family decided to stay in Japan,

and your parents are separated,

so we get to spend this holiday together.

You gifted me a beautiful silver heart-shaped bracelet even though we both agreed that we won't gift anything to each other,

and you argued that it isn't required, but it wasn't prohibited either.

Oh Heeseung, you and your love language.

On my birthday, you gave me a necklace, a rose bouquet, and a lot of chocolates,

and on the celebration of my first commission after months of stopping,

you gave me a purifier and a lot of expensive essence to come along with it,

claiming that a good scent can drastically affect my motivation in a positive way.

Perhaps, I really should be used to your giving personality.

Life with you is simple.

Simple yet fun dates,

short sessions of rants,

humble mornings,

appreciative evenings.

Everything was worthwhile with you.

Now we're here at my house's rooftop, gazing at the moon and the stars.

I should thank them,

for listening to me when I haven't met you,

for letting their presence comfort me through the saddest time back when you still weren't here,

and also, for letting me meet you.

I always have to feel pain,

I always have to get hurt,

that's why I was scared of everything,

because anything can make my fragile soul suffer.

The clock strikes at 11:11.

They said that if you wish right at this very moment, it will come true.

So, I wished to the moon and the stars,

That, you, Lee Heeseung, would never hurt me.
