It is a Sunday once again and you are now back in Gangnam, Seoul after visiting Daegu and Busan with your appa (dad) who has been having several business meetings for the past week.

Having only a day left in South Korea before you head home back to the Philippines to apply for an internship, you decide to take a stroll in the busy streets of Gangnam. You don't like staying outdoors in your country because it gets too hot, but now, the sweater weather temperature suits your liking.

You are currently sitting on a park bench trying to come up with a poem about the dream you had last night of you and a man going an evening walk in the park. As soon as you close your eyes to focus, you hear clicking sounds of a camera coming from your left. You open your eyes and see Suga who is taking some photos using his SLR camera.

"Suga!" you say being surprised to see your dream guy.

Suga hides behind a bush and makes a gesture with his hand telling you to not make a commotion.

"Orenmanida, (Long time no see)," you tell him as you crouch next to him.

"Orenmanida? (Long time no see?) Ah, you're (your name). I didn't recognize you because your hair looks different," he says.

"I know it looks bad, right?" you tell him, taking off your black hair tie from your wrist to tie your hair.

"Aniyo (No). Duh yebbuhjishyeotneyo (You look prettier)," he tells you, making you keep your hair down.

While you finger-comb your dark black hair, Suga checks his lock screen which reads 3:39.

"Oh, it's almost 4 and I only had late breakfast. Paegopayo (I'm hungry). Do you want to eat with me?" he says looking at you with a smile.

You nod in agreement and he gently takes your arm leading you to a street with several street food stalls.

Suga orders some eomuk tang (fish cake on skewers) from the ajumma (middle-aged lady) and pulls his cap towards his face, hiding his bright blue colored hair.

He hands you two sticks of eomuk tang and both of you leisurely walk through the streets catching up after seeing each other again after several days.

While walking, you pass by an arcade and a cute plush toy in the claw machine catches your eye.

"That pink octopus is looks so cute!" you exclaim as you enter the arcade.

As soon as you insert a coin into the machine and start playing, Suga holds your hand and tells you that he will do it for you.

You step behind him and let him win the stuffed toy. After a few minutes of inserting coins into the machine, you cheering Suga, and Suga failing to get the octopus stuffed toy, he finally succeeds.

"Yeogiyo (Here)," he says and he lets out a smile after handing you the plush toy.

"Kamsahamnida.(Thank you), Suga. I will always bring this with me and whenever I see it, I will remember you," you tell him, attaching the octopus plush's chain to your black shoulder bag.

Your phone vibrates with Suga's "infires man" notification tone. Suga hears it and lets out a chuckle.

You check your phone and read a message from your appa (dad) telling you to meet him and start preparing for your flight tomorrow morning. You had so much fun with Suga that you didn't notice how fast the time flew.

Putting your phone back in your pocket, you tell Suga about your schedule and he offers to bring you to your hotel. You both hop on the bus and look out the window to find the location of your PJ Hotel.

After five stops, you tell Suga, who has fallen half asleep on your shoulder, to wake up. You hop off the bus and walk towards the entrance of your hotel.

"I guess this is the part where I we have to say goodbye for real," you tell Suga.

"Call me when you land. Arasoyo? (Understand?)" he says looking at you in the eyes.

"Ne (Yes), I will. I have to run to our room right now. My phone just vibrated. I probably got a message from my dad," you reply.

You reach the door to the lobby of PJ Hotel and you hear Suga shout your name.

"(Your name)! Jamshimanyo (Wait a moment!)"

You turn around and see Suga brisk walk towards you.

"Take care," Suga says looking at you intently which makes your heart flutter.

Just when you think that him saying his goodbye would end that moment, he moves another step closer to you and unexpectedly, he hugs you saying "I-'ll miss you. Please, don't forget me because I won't forget you. Dashi mannageseumnida (We will meet again)."
