Here he is again, Choi Seungcheol walking towards the same path he walked for 6 years. The same path since college. The path he'd already memorized--the path leading to that cherry blossom tree.

His Cherry Blossom Tree.

How dare that Kid claim that tree, his.

Then again, he still questions Lee Chan's sudden appearance; he's been visiting that spot for many years now, and never had he once seen that boy. It's like the universe is telling him that he really has to move on from Lee Jihoon, its telling him that he should stop visiting that Cherry Blossom Tree.

"You're here again" a familiar voice suddenly said.

He know who's voice it belongs too. "Hey" he softly smiled.

He looked at Chan's eyes, and he felt a void of emptiness in them; sadness and anger mixed together. Maybe that's what the universe is telling him: in order for him to move on from Jihoon, he needs to save Chan.

"What are you doing here, old man" Chan asked, voice mischievous but deadly.

The kid fished a stick of cigarette in his pocket as he put it in his mouth. "Are you not going to answer?" He continue, lighting the stick.

A puff of smoke blew on Seungcheol, and we wondered why does Chan hate him so much. He wanted to ask, but stayed quiet. Instead, he grabbed the stick from Lee Chan's mouth and smoked it himself.

"I never thought I would live a day where a teacher would openly smoke in front of his student.

The said teacher let out a small laugh as he puff another smoke, this time on Lee Chan face. "You're in the last year of High School. You probably had sex already, what's there to hide?" He said giving back the cigarette.

"You're cool" the boy laugh as he let out another smoke. "But this tree is still mine"
