15 May Year 20
As I crossed the classroom that had become a hidden hideout for those of us with no place to go, I set a few chairs straight. I picked up a desk that had fallen over, abandoned, and wiped the dust away with my palm. Endings make people emotional. Today is the last day I would come to school. Two weeks earlier, it had been decided that we would move. Maybe I would never come back here again. And maybe I would never see my hyungs and dongsaengs again.
I folded a paper in half and set it on top of the desk, and even got out a pencil, but I didn't know what words I should leave behind. So I just let time pass. In the middle of scribbling a few useless words, my pencil lead snapped with an audible sound. "You have to keep living." On the paper, which was covered in the smudges of the fragments of pencil lead, I had scribbled without even realizing. In between the black lead dust and the scribbles were scattered some stories of poverty, parents, dongsaengs, moving.
I crumpled up the paper and put it in my pocket, then stood. I pushed the desk away and dust rose up. As I started to leave, I paused and breathed out onto the dirty window, then wrote three characters.
No goodbye would be enough, and even if I said nothing, this would convey it all. "Let's see each other again." More than being a promise, it was just a wish.
