Epilogue

Tonight's theme was circus. Or theme park. Or whatever it's called.

I wore an ombre violet long gown with while laces on the hemlines. When you look from afar, it would look like it was galaxy-designed. It had a spaghetti-like strap so I only layed my hair down. And a little bit of make up because I'm not used to it. I wore my violet moon necklace and some silver moon-shaped earrings. My clutch bag was ombre violet too. Inside was my phone, earphones, powerbank, money and handkerchief. All of the condiments inside had a shade of violet.

I chose the color Yukhei picked.

I deeply sighed as I arrived in the school's garden, where the prom would be held. The venue was so pretty. There were ferry lights above, in various colors and sizes. There was a ferris wheel in the far right and it was for free. On the stage, was a magician and a monkey. I giggled as the monkey smacked the magician in his cheek and the magician playfully scream in pain.

I went to the garden's fountain that lights up. I sat on the bench. Jungwoo and I agreed that we'll see each other here since I didn't want him to pick me from my house.

I looked at my phone for the time. The prom was almost starting, especially the cotillion dance. And he's still not here.

My heart skipped a beat when someone tapped me from the back.

" Jungwoo-- Yukhei? " My wide smile faded and was replaced with a frown.

" Aren't you happy to see me, Seullie? " Hearing him call me Seullie again makes me feel special. I sighed and shook my head.

" I am happy. Beyond happy. " I smiled at him and so did he to me. I felt so secured with his smile, I wanted to cry. Lol, I actually did. I hugged him and I buried my face in his neck. I felt him rub his hand against my half-bare back. My emotions were all mixed up. From embarassment, nervousness, worry and overwhelm.

" Hey, Seullie. " His soothing, calming, deep voice was still as peaceful as ever. It helped me calm myself. I pulled back and almost wiped my tears away. But Yukhei went first. He placed his warm palms on my cheeks and brushed both of his thumbs under my eyes. It made me cry even more.

Why is he being like this? When in fact, I indirectly rejected him in the most painful way possible.

" Yukhei, I'm sorry. " Was the only words I could convey properly. I said it between my sobs and I'm hoping he could hear me properly too.

I have to clear things with him. At least to ease a little of his pain. Because I know he's hurting. I saw him in the rooftop.

" Shhh, Seullie. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Maybe, tonight, I'm still not. But as time passes by, I will be fine, eventually. " He said while still wiping my tears away. He gave me that small smile which made me cry again. I bit my lip as I nodded repeatedly. Looking at him makes me feel guilty, because he never deserved to be hurt in the first place.

" Now, dry your tears, because the prom's starting. " He said and gave me a handkerchief. I thanked him and carefully patted the handkerchief against my cheek and below my eyes.

Wait, the prom's starting yet Jungwoo's still not here?

" Have you seen Jungwoo? " I asked while handing him the handkerchief back. He accepted it and placed it back in his trousers' back pocket.

" About that, Jungwoo hyung might be a little late for tonight. " My face seemed to look like the world had crushed against my frail shoulders. A little late?
