In Another Life

Apartment + Flashback + Present Day Part 2

Gunil and the others decide to go eat after the music festival, but Jungsu tells them that he will go somewhere else and will follow them.

After a little walking, and Jungsu is in front of their old apartment. Jungsu leaned against the metal railing in front of him and stared at the closed door.

Jungsu sighed. "Maybe one day I'll be able to go inside again."

Jungsu turned around and stared at the cloudy sky. "Jooyeon and I used to stare at the sky together." Jungsu muttered to himself and laughed before wiping away his tears with his thumb.

"Look Jungsu! That cloud looks like a cat!" Jooyeon pointed to the sky.

Jungsu squinted, trying to find the cloud that Jooyeon was pointing at. "Which cloud exactly? They all look like clouds to me," Jungsu said, shrugging his shoulders.

Jooyeon pouted, "Even though you're an artist, your imagination is very limited."

Jungsu scoffed, "Excuse me? Me? Is it my imagination?" And he pointed to himself. Jooyeon nodded frantically.

Then, Jungsu thought, "You'll regret saying that to a future popular band member! '' He said as he tickled Jooyeon.

"Baby, stop! "Jooyeon begged between laughs. Jungsu lost his grip on Jooyeon's waist, and Jooyeon ran away.

"Come again, sweetheart! "Jungsu yelled, but Jooyeon stuck his tongue out at Jungsu. When Jungsu takes a step toward Jooyeon, ready for tickling torture, Jooyeon screams and runs into their unit.

Jungsu smiles bitterly as he recalls the good times they spent together. Those were the happiest times for Jungsu.

"It would be great if I could take more care of him, consider his feelings more, and understand him more." Jungsu's tears began to flow down and pull his hair out of frustration.

"It's my fault. It's really my fault. I pushed him and hurt him, so..." Jungsu said while sobbing to himself. Jungsu doesn't care if anyone sees him.

Jungsu's friends always said that one day he would get better. One day, he would forget and accept that they were over.

But when will that day come? It's been five full months, but the pain and anguish of living without Jooyeon is getting worse every day.

The two cried their hearts out at the same time without knowing it. They're both at the place they treasure the most but are also the most afraid to conquer.

They both cried for the same reason: pain and suffering without each other by their sides. Pain that their past selves caused, but the present suffers.
