He once told her that accepting their relationship was a promise. He once told her that holding hands was a promise made. He once told her that putting the ring on their fingers was another promise made. But he had never told her that making a promise, doesn't mean that it's love. So foolishly, she waited and waited, for him to turn back and see the diamond he left in the dust. But maybe she didn't shine that brightly, for he never came back. Or she thought so.

.

"You do know that if we get into a relationship, we both will have to lose some just to gain this relationship right?" Hoseok asked as he sat on the bed beside her. He couldn't believe her when she just readily accepted his confession. He was expecting hesitation or questions but she just simply said yes. Even though he was over the moon when she accepted, he was still confused. She knows what she's getting into but she is staying. Is this for real? Is she for real? Is she even real? He asked himself. This was too good to be true. But she just smiled and nodded while looking down. That was the first promise they made.

.

"Do you remember the second promise that we've made?" Hoseok asked the girl beside him as they walked down the street, towards the nearest convenience store. "Hmmm, the one that I promised you that we'll have another date?" Hoseok shook his head. "I agreed to go on the first date with you?" He smiled at that memory but he still shookk his head no. "When I decided to lend you my pencil in class?" "How is that a promise?" "Then what is it Hoseok? I'm confused! " She yelled playfully, frustrated but not angry. "This is our second promise." Hoseok said, holding up their laced fingers. She looked down and smiled.

.

But she never knew that when the last promise broke, every other one broke too. She still remembered the day when he slipped the ring onto her finger. The day they were man and wife. The day they got married. She still remember the joy and his face as he saw the ring settling on her finger perfectly, like it was made just for her. But now, she sits in an empty room, his side of the bed cold and untouched. She looked down and this time, the tears from her eyes fell to the ground.

.

You told me that accepting the relationship, holding hands and putting on the ring were promises. But you never told me the truth. The truth is that those are representative of fake love! They are just objects that stall for time in the relationship but the time is already running out. I can see the last few grains of sand slipping through the hole in the hourglass. The time is running out and there's nothing we can do now Hoseok. You left me behind, with the fake love and fake affection. Now I see that I don't have to live with them anymore, I'm ready to go. Goodbye.

With the frantic knocking at the door, she knew who was in front of it, just that she never expected him to be back so early. When she opened the door, he rushed to hug her. His breathing was uneven, indicating that he had run up the stairs to their apartment. He was shaking and she knew that it was because he was trying to hold back his tears. When they pulled apart, he gently pulled out the ring she had attached to the letter. He slowly held onto her hand and seeing that she didn't pull back, he slowly slipped the ring back onto it's rightful position.

"I know it didn't seem real, I know it didn't seem true but I will prove it somehow. Just promise me that you wouldn't take off this ring. It's another promise made. Its another promise I won't break. I will make more promises and make sure that they are real. I will make sure that they show you my love. The promises I had made and will make will never be broken. It may seem broken now but trust me, they are just cracks. With some touch up here and there, they will be as good as brand new. Maybe even better. I know it seems like we had ran out of time but if you just turn the hourglass upside down, won't you have much more time? So please, please just give it a try because," he paused, taking in a deep breath.

"Darling, that is love."
