Why don't you look at me? *Complete*

Chapter 14

"So everything she said to us was a lie?"

"I don't know how much of it was a lie, but I don't want to know either way. I think is time to let her go."

"Myungsoo-ah, you know that you can count on me right?"

"I know, and that's why you're my favorite hyung!"

I looked at the box that was slowly being consumed by the fire, full of memories with Hye Ra. As soon as we arrived back in Korea, I gathered everything that reminded me of her; pictures, clothes, accesories, everything that was once a happy memory of her, and placed it on a box. My plan was to throw everything away right away, but Sungyeol hyung told me that it was dangerous in case someone stumbled upon them. Therefore, I decided to burn everything and throw the ashes by the Han River.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"Aniyo, I want to be alone."

"Alright, then make sure you don't come  back to late. You know that if Sungkyu hyung finds out, we would both be in trouble."

"Arasso."

Sungyeol hyung smiled at me before leaving me alone. I waited until all the belongings disappeared into ashes and the fire burned out. By the time I arrived at the Han River, the sun was already setting down. The always crowded place was now deserted, my only companions were the moon and the cold air.

I sat at the nearest bench facing the river. The bridge, not far from me, shined as always. Traffic lights were always visible at the bridge, people going from one side to another all day long. I breathed in the cold air and closed my eyes. Loneliness could be painful, but other times, loneliness was the best companion.

I stood from my seat and stepped closer to the river. I opened the box and let the wind take away the painful memories that belonged to Hye Ra.

"This is where I say goodbye to you. This is where I finally let go of someone that I gave my everything to, this is where I start my new life. This time, I'm not looking back, this time I'll move forward no matter what. I hope you have a happy life with the man you're destined to marry, goodbye, Kim Hye Ra."

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the night breeze. I couldn't remember the last time I was alone surrounded by complete silence, the members were always lousy, so our dorm was never quiet.

"Did you know that it's supposed to snow tonight?"

I opened my eyes, shocked by the sudden voice that came out of nowhere. I looked besides me to find the owner of that voice.

"Who are you?"

"Your conscience. Or something like that."

"Do you think I'm going to believe that?"

"You're smarter than I thought. Mianh~"

Because of the dim light, it was hard to see the face of the owner, but it was definitely a girl. And for some reason, it sounded really familiar.

"Do you know me?"

"Of course! We're neighbors... Oh! It's snowing!"

I looked up to the sky, just to see little flakes of snow falling down. I looked back the unknown girl besides me and wondered who she was. I knew she was more than just a neighbor, her voice sounded so familiar, but I couldn't place my finger on it

"You... just who are you?"
