Dear Hyemi,

I shouldn't have trusted you when you said you'd always be there for me when I'm lonely. You're not here with me when I need you. I miss you so much. Today, I had a dream of us reuniting. I cried in the dream as I met you in the hallways of our old high school. The familiar hallway windows beamed with light. The faded red lockers surrounded us. It was just two of us together. I stared at you in confusion while you flashed me a smile. You acted like we haven't been separated. Your bright smile made my eyes soften. A single tear trickled down my pale cheek. You approached me but instead of stopping where I was, you continued to walk. You don't know how badly I wanted to grab your arm and stop you from leaving. I was sick of you always leaving. For the nth time, I wanted to hold you back. Instead, my body froze up and I stood there until I snapped out of it. Then, I turned to see where you went. Your back faced me as you continued to walk. You waved at someone and they smiled back at you. I couldn't recognize that person. Perhaps it was Taeyong. Maybe my brain just made up a random face. I never got to finish the dream because my alarm woke me up. The dream felt so real. A trail of tears stained my face as I looked into the mirror to see my face in the morning. I never imagined myself to be the type of person to cry in their sleep.

Thinking About You,
Kim Seokjin
