"You can't change your mind, okay?" Nayeon said after picked me up.

"I don't know." I laughed awkwardly. I couldn't believe myself, finally I'll attend the reunion. "I'm nervous."

"Don't be! It will be fun!" Nayeon getting hyped. "Oh, I confirmed most of them will attend this year reunion. Sowon, Yunhyeong, Jiwon."

"Omo, Jiwon too?" I surprised. "Isn't he lives at Virginia?"

"See, how many years and news that you've been missed?" Nayeon shook her head. "He came back here last year and joined a big company. He just went to Virginia for his study."

"Oh, I see..." I looked at outside. I miss Jiwon, he's my very best mate along with Nayeon.

It's a one hour ride because my place and our school are in the different side of the city. As the car entered the main gate, the flood of memories begin. There's nothing changed except the trees are bigger and taller.

"I really miss this place." I whispered to the wind.

"Yah, in a nostalgic mode already?" Nayeon slapped my back lightly.

"Yeah." I smiled.

"Remember that tree? We used to sit around that tree with the others." Nayeon pointed a tree at the park.

It's a big beautiful cherry blossom tree, it's our basecamp under that tree and also it's a place for musical performance for yearly school festival. It was a place that me and Chanyeol-oppa went everyday after the class...

"Kim Jisoo!" Nayeon screamed my name. "I was telling you something, do you listen?"

"Mian." I grinned. "We arrived early, can I go to the tree?"

"Ah." Nayeon somehow looked at me with sadness. "Want me to come with you?"

"No, I'll go by myself. Why are you so sad?" I asked her.

"What sadness?" She smiled brightly. "Go then, come to our old class at 11 okay?"

"Sure." I gave her two thumbs up and turned to the tree direction.

I arrived under the tree. I looked up to see its flowers. Thanks the reunion is held at spring time, I thought.

I leaned to its trunk while still looked at the blossoms. It was great memory I made here, I thought.

I started humming an old song. I closed my eyes; I thought of me and Chanyeol-oppa back then. How he used to makes some new song here instead in our practice room, what we talked here on our first day relationship, how he kissed me that evening... everything's pictured perfectly. He was always be my best partner in everything, until that day of our breakup.

"You have a nice voice." Someone's deep voice heard from my back, somehow it's familiar. "That's my favorite song, but it's been long forgotten. Thanks to you, I remember it."

"You're welcome, then." I answered without bother to look at the voice's source.

"It's a duet song, will you sing it with me?" He asked.

"You weird." I gave it a thought, it's been a long time since I sing in front of someone. "But I'd love to."

I sang the first verse, he sang the second verse, and on every chorus we sang together. Our voice i surprisingly a good match.

"It was really great!" He screamed. I heard rustling sound came closer. "Hey, can I..."

He came in front of me and made both of us froze. No wonder why does his voice sounds familiar, no wonder why are we a good match. It's Park Chanyeol.

"Kim Jisoo?" His eyes widened, he blinked few times and even rubbed his eyes. "This is really you?"

"Mianhae, I need to go." I left him who still stunned. But after few meters, he gripped my wrist.

"Wait." He said.

"Let me go." I refused to look at him.

"Kim Jisoo, please." His grip tightened. "Give me some time, I've been searching you for years."

What for? I thought.

"Look at me. Please." He begged.

"No." I still refused.

"Then..." He circled my waist with his left arm. His other arm hugged my shoulder from behind. (Idk how should I interpret this, I hope you understand)

"What are you doing? Let me go!" I tried to escape, but I failed.

"I'll let you go once you promised me not to leave and hear me until the end. But I know that you won't." He whispered right on my ear.

"I won't." I echoed.

"I miss you." He said. He sounded like he almost cry.

"I don't." I kept my voice cold and stern, but the truth, it's hard to hold back every powerful feeling that I felt.

"Sorry. I know even if I say sorry thousands times, it won't heal your wound. But I'm really sincere now." His voice became really soft. "I really really miss you. I love you, Kim Jisoo, always."
