your eyes are widened,
your breaths heavy,
you had ran all the way
just to see me.

"why didn't you tell me?

i smile, and i can tell
it's bittersweet.
i look for words,
but not one sentence
could describe it all.

"would you believe me,
if i told my side of the story?"

no answer came,
face painted with guilt.
your mouth hung open,
unable to place words.

"thank you jinyoung,
although you always saw me
as the antagonist."

and the car drives away,
leaving behind nothing but
bad memories,
and a lingering prescene
of my bad reputation.

but i don't regret it,
because as i drive away,
i can smile, knowing that
with a new start,
i can maybe become the
protagonist of a new story.
