AUGUST 12, SATURDAY, 14:15 (2:15PM)
Spring brings new blossoming, while late summer breezes are the oncommings of winter winds.
The afternoon sun is nearing its peak and shines down on a park modestly filled with families and wanderers alike. In the middle of this park is a bench where a couple sits. The day is a beautiful one and the two make quite the attractive couple, but one's handsome face is in a frown while the other's lovely face is twisted and sour.
"Wh-What? You're breaking up with me?" says the woman.
The man, Jihoon, more commonly known as Woozi, sighs and leans back against the bench. "It's just not working out. I'm sorry."
"I..." the woman is rendered speechless and her eyes look around frantically as she tries to put the puzzle pieces together. "I thought we were doing well... you said you had a great time on our last date, and we even—"
"Which was amazing!" Jihoon takes her hands his and looks into her eyes, "I just have so much going on, and with my recent promotion, I need to be focusing on work right now. I can't be there for you the way you deserve, it'd only be selfish of me to let this continue only for us to both get hurt in the end."
The girl looks down and Jihoon gently lets go of her hands, he has no right to them anymore. The silence that falls over the two has some weight, but Jihoon listens to the chirping birds and lighthearted voices of those around. He is a bit startled when the woman looks back up at him with big, teary eyes and, in a fleeting moment, throws her arms around Jihoon, pulling his lips to come crashing into hers. Jihoon decides to go with it and returns the kiss passionately. He gives their kiss several long lasting seconds before breaking away.
"I have to go." He tells her.
"But–"
"What a beautiful way to end this, don't you think?" He smiles sweetly, and even manages to add a depth of sadness behind his eyes that makes the woman's bottom lip tremble before she ultimately nods.
"I wish you well," he says, "the best we can do is to support each other from afar. Goodluck with everything, you deserve all the success that may come to you." Jihoon gives her hands one last squeeze before getting up and turning around.
He makes his way across the grassy field of the park, not once looking back to the woman he is leaving behind, thus closing yet another window of opportunity. Turning out of the park entrance, Jihoon re-enters the busy city with hurried steps along the sidewalk and pulls out his phone.
