Catching My Falling Star

Prologue

It was a typical alcohol night for Mhay. Something she slowly got used to. Wine, whisky, sake , soju, beer and her favorite bread stick. She was sitting on the floor along with the empty bottles she consumed for just an hour while resting her head by the foggy window.

It was a busy evening and she could see the cars by the window trying to get through the heavy traffic.

Living in the 15 floor of her condominium gave her the most scenic view of the whole city.

The dancing lights from the streets made it more beautiful, it even felt like Christmas and somehow consoled her sadness.

She could see the Han River where she was sitting and had the view of the people walking by the river while enjoying its beauty.

It's November which means it's almost winter and the coldness feels like it's slowly eating her bones and her heart frozen because of the pain from the day Shane left.

"He's gone." she silently whispered to herself.

She was absolutely sure that the temperature dropped 10 degrees today which is why she's wearing her favourite GAP hoodie and wrapped herself with a quilt Shane gave her for their 3rd anniversary but felt her cheeks burning and slowly touched it and realized she was crying the entire time.

Her tears just came out naturally from her tear ducts she could no longer control each time they want to fall.

It's been months since the break up but everyday still feels like day 1 and drowning herself from alcohol became necessary to help her live through every day.

The dark room slowly illuminated with light coming from the hallway when the door slightly opened and the sound of the screeching door pulled Mhay out of her reverie.

It was Sam whose wearing her pastel pink knitted sweater with her favorite black jeans and white boots.

She must have just gotten off from work seeing the dark circles under her eyes and the messy hair she was wearing which made her look like she hasn't gotten any sleep for days.

Sam and Mhay have been friends since 6th grade and although they didn't pursue the same degree in college, they remained best friends and kept their friendship intact.

It was Sam who convinced her to relocate to Seoul from Paris to make her dreams come true. Athough Mhay had a very promising career in Paris , she took the shot and made everything possible in the City she considers her second home.

Their working in the industry they'd always dreamed to be part of as both directors and producers and had managed to own a unit they both now lived in.

It wasn't just directing and producing for Mhay, it was always so much more considering how talented she is.

She was a born painter and she managed to harness that talent to maximum through attending different classes since grade school to college and didn't stop until she acquired her degree in fine arts from one of the most renowned university in Paris.

She always had exhibits almost every month in different cities and sometimes invited to showcase her pieces in some countries she never imagined she could ever set her foot to.
