Morning Coffee {Yoonseok/Sope}

I'm

Hoseok,

Thank you.

Every morning I would get a large black coffee with a pinch of salt.

Every morning you had it ready before I even got there.

You would smoke a cigarette with me every once in a while, and despite my silence, I enjoyed your company.

You started to give me pastries for free.

They were usually the only thing I ate.

I didn't have any money.

I could have gotten a coffee machine, but then I couldn't see you.

My funds got lower and lower, until eventually I couldn't afford even a coffee.

That day I came in with change, you stopped me.

I was embarrassed.

I didn't want to take advantage of you.

I never had enough to spare for coffee, and eventually I didn't have enough for rent.

I was pushed onto the streets.

A few times I got desperate enough to show up anyways.

You always handed me the coffee and pastry without asking.

That meant a lot to me.

You gave me your number.

I was too embarrassed to tell you I couldn't afford a phone.

Through out all of the darkness that closed in on me, you were a smiling face.

You brought a sliver of light into my life.

I thank you for that.

I hope you succeed in life, Hoseok.

You deserve it.

Unfortunately, this is goodbye.

Thank you for never asking why.

Thank you for everything.
