YESEUL RUNS.

The cold wind bites at her skin, but she doesn't feel it.
Her legs burn, her breath comes out in sharp gasps- but she doesn't stop.

She can't.

The city blurs around her, but she only sees one thing: him.

Heeseung is here. He must be here.

She saw him. At least, she thinks she did.

People had stared when she bolted from the exhibition hall, but she hadn't cared. She had seen him.

Her heartbeat slams against her ribs as she turns a corner, her destination already set in her mind.

The tree.

The tree where they had once carved their initials- Y & H.

If he's anywhere, he'll be there.

She doesn't slow down, not even when she sees it.

Her chest heaves.

Her lungs ache.

But-

There's no one there.

Yeseul stares.

The tree stands tall, its bark rough and familiar- but empty.

No footprints in the dirt.
No sign that he was ever here.

She stumbles forward, her fingers reaching for the carving- needing proof.

Her breath catches.

Why does it look faded?

Why does it look like it's disappearing?

Her stomach twists. She steps back, shaking her head.

"No," she whispers. "No, no, no-"

Heeseung must be at the exhibition.

He must be there.

She turns and runs.

"He's there, right? He has to be there, right?"

The door slams open as she stumbles inside.
