Seven Days - Time Traveller

2. Nineteen

When I saw myself in the mirror, wearing a light blue dress, my nineteen year old self, I realized it was true. It seems like... Time travel is real.

Myungsoo stood next to me proudly. "It seem like we came back to just the right time."

When Myungsoo and I walked into the party, I saw these friends, that were once, extremely close to me.

Although the nineteen year old me at that time did not know, these friends that celebrated my birthday, will one day separate, and become completely unaware of my death.

"Who's this boy? I've never seen him before. He looks so pretty, like a girl......" Hyori, one of my best friends at that time, asked.

"My... um... old friend. He's staying here for a week, so I invited him here." I replied.

Hyori's fangirl screams attracted a lot of attention, I didn't want him to be too noticeable, so I dragged him aside. He looked at me innocently.

"Hey Seohyeon, which one is that Oh Sehun guy?" He asked me.

I closed my eyes and sighed. "He'll come out when I blow the candle, if, I remembered correctly."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEOHYEON!"

I wanted to continue the conversation with Myungsoo, but I was stopped by the group of friends carrying my birthday cake.

The candle light on the cake shone brightly, and on the side of the cake said, "Happy 19th Birthday to Our Dear Seohyeon".

Myungsoo whispered against my ear. "If they knew that their dear Seohyeon won't have any more birthdays to celebrate three years later, how would they react?" He jokingly said to me.

I tried my best to maintain my smile and I forced the words out of my lips. "I thank you for your kind reminder."

Myungsoo pouted, and then happily clapped like the people around us.

"Make a wish, Seohyeon!" Hyori smiled at me excitedly.

I already know, that when I close my eyes and make my wish, Hyori would tell Sehun to be prepared, and he will come out at the moment I blow the candle and confess.

Of course, it won't happen this time.

I saw Sehun in the crowd, his face red. Behind him, in his hand, held my favourite flowers.

All the tragedies that happened after I accepted his confession appeared in my mind......

I accepted him, and we hugged in the crowd with people's blessings.

We went into the same university.

We walked through streets and valleys, we went past summer and winter, together.

But I recieved my death penalty, just when we were madly in love.

Endless chemotherapies and treatments engulfed the once happy Lee Seoyeon, the once smiling Oh Sehun......

'Please. Let him forget me.'

"What are you doing? Blow the candle......" Myungsoo pushed me forwards.

I smiled after making my wish, but didn't immediately blow the candle. I turned to Myungsoo and quietly whispered. "Do me a favour."

"Eh?" Myungsoo looked at me, confused.

I slowly lifted my head up and smiled brightly, ignoring the boy standing in front of the crowd, who was about to open his mouth to speak. I turned Myungsoo around to kiss him.

Myungsoo's eyes immediately widened. The cheers around us, became louder.

At that moment, Fireworks lightened up the darkening night sky.

I clearly saw the horrified and surprised face, of the one I most love, in the crowd.

The flowers dropped from his hand.
