"Can we get, can we get better? Existing for you is the present"

"I couldn't believe you hid this from me. " She looked at him and Changmin shook his head to explain his side. "No, After receiving that, You're the first one I went to, but you pushed me away that time. "



She remembered how he used to push him away before. How she used to hate his presence but... Everything change. If you'll look at them they were almost inseparable from each other. Almost look like lovers but they are not. Jiyeon let out a heavy sigh and looked at Changmin. After hearing Youngchae's words she finds the reason why he still stayed. She doesn't know why she suddenly felt disappointed knowing that he just has to fulfill what Youngchae wants him to do. Like trying to grant someone's wish. "If you are here to take care of me just because she tells you, You don't need to continue doing it. I can take care of myself. "


"I'm not here by force... I was here because this is what I want to do" He said that made Jiyeon's heart pound not because of nervousness, but this time. It had a different feeling. It feels different and she knows it should not happen.


"I know it was late now to do it but, I was sorry for all the things that I did to you before. I'm just desperate to be alone so I could move on and accept everything but I realized the more that I became lonely... The more I think I have no one. " She said as Changmin gave her a comforting smile and nodded at her. This day is going to be the most serious conversation that they ever have.


Changmin held her hand and helped her to stand up which made Jiyeon confused for a moment. "Let's go, We have to go somewhere and I'm sure you'll never feel lonely in there. "



When Changmin realizes he is holding her hand he immediately removes his grip from her and acts like nothing happened. The girl didn't realize what he had just done because she was still busy staring at Youngchae's grave. Changmin was relieved they didn't have to be so awkward.

"I know you'll still bid your goodbye to her so I'll wait for you in the car. And let you two have a moment. " Changmin left until she finally couldn't see him in her sight.


Jiyeon took out something from her pocket and left it at the side with the flower, it was just a small piece of paper that contained a very special address. "Promise me you'll be here at this address. I will wait for you someday. It's still the same bench Youngchae. It's still waiting for you. "

After going to Youngchae's grave, It was already night when Changmin took her somewhere that was just near to her house maybe a mile away but could reach the place by walking. The moment they stopped at the place she didn't know there was a place like this exist near at her house. Maybe because of the reason that she spent her entire life inside their house.

"Wow... I didn't know this exist. This place is a masterpiece. It's beautiful. " She complimented with amazement in her voice and Changmin chuckled at her reaction. At least he knows she likes it.


"I know that's why bought you here. Cuz I know you'll like it. " She sat beside the tree and Changmin followed her behind to also sit beside her. Their eyes both stared at the beautiful view... City lights, people walking around, vehicle lights, and the cold breeze touching their skin making them shiver, and the moon that stayed through the entire night. She's speechless. She thought it only happened in the movies or books but she doesn't know that in real life... It was too breathtaking to watch.


"Youngchae always bring me here before. I don't know how she finds this. " He said as the girl was still busy admiring the place. But she couldn't help but ask him once again when thoughts flooded her mind "How long have you been friends with Youngchae? It seems like you have so many memories. "

"Almost 10 years. " Jiyeon nodded as she thought that maybe in those 10 years, he liked her once right? But why would she care? Of course, she doesn't care. "It must have been hard for you when she died that day. "

"Yeah. But I have to pull myself together to be able to be strong to accept things for her. It was hard but it needs to. " Their eyes stayed on the view, even they kept on talking to each other.



"And you should accept the reality too. There's nothing we can bring back, but her memories remain here. " He pointed to his heart.


Right... She remains here.

"Thank you for today, Changmin. I'm sorry you had to be absent from your summer class just to join me. " She saw his smile again and she almost felt a million butterflies in her stomach escape. This isn't normal. She thought.



"You're very much welcome. I don't mind accompanying you forever, as long as you still haven't moved on. " She smiled. This should be the last time she'll talk about the pain of Youngchae. The last time. "Go on, your dad must be waiting for you. " She nodded as her response, bid him goodbye, and got inside the house.



The moment she entered the living room she saw her brother sleeping on the sofa and his dad was nowhere to be found. so she just decided to go inside her room to rest and get ready for another tomorrow. When she looked at her calendar behind her door, she realized why her dad was gone and nowhere around. It's the start again... Looking at the date. She let out a hopeless sigh




Mommy's death anniversary is nearing. Dad is on Mom's grave again. He'll spend weeks with her for sure.
