"yoorin!" yuta shouted, which made the whole area echo with his panicked voice.

"shh!" i put my finger on my lips. "stay quiet!"




he ran to me and slowly dropped his pace, putting his hands on his knees and breathed fastly.




"yoorin. firstly, i'm sorry that i didn't say anything. but now- i do."




"okay?"




"i- i just want to say-"




"plane 362 passengers, please gather up to front gate 4. we'll close the gate in five minutes."




"what? yuta! say it!" i felt a hot sensation in my throat, watching every movement of his.



















"i- I LIKE YOU!" he shouted, and there it came my surprise. it was a loop i wanted to playback and playback all of the time, in my head, but now, it was true.






"i- i like you, yoorin ah. i'm sorry, i really do."

the fuck you're sorry for?

"yuta! look. and listen."




"yoorin." yuta straightened his voice and his facial expression. "i'm sorry. but if you don't-"




"YUTA! I FREAKING DO! I LIKE YOU TOO!" i said, and all of my words came out like wind. "i like you. i've been for a very long time, now can you shut up?" giving him a smile, which was not clearly pessimistic or optimistic.




"but i guess... you live in korea now, so we can't meet each other again." realizing the truth and how reality hit us, we stood there quietly and disappointed.




"we may have a few vacations there, i don't know, but-" he mumbled while thinking. "anyway. i hope you'll have fun there."




he walked towards me and hugged me tightly. that hug was my motivation.




i smiled and hugged the boy back. "don't be sad, okay? yuta, we'll keep in contact." was that a promise i could keep? they say promises are just temporaries, they are just some pillars to lean on.



"sure! i'll video call you everyday!" he said cheerfully, which made me crack up.




"i have to go now."




i intertwined my fingers in his warm ones.




the boy smiled at me. "okay, take care. choi yoorin, you're the greatest human alive, you know what?"

that smile, witnessing it feels like heaven.



"that sounds cheesy, but same. you're a sweetheart to me."
