우지
I stand still and watch as you briskly walk away.

Should I follow you?
Should I chase after you?

I know you're not okay.
I want to help you, to comfort you.
I want to see you smile again.

Please stop running away.

호시
I run and I don't look back.
My vision is starting to blur.
I don't wanna cry.
Not in front of everyone anyways.
Not in front of you.

I run inside the men's washroom and throw myself into an empty stall.

I lock myself in and the entire world out.

Finally, I free the ache in my heart from the cage behind the curtains; I let my tears fall.

Don't worry, Jihoon.
I'll be back.
Right after this fifteen minute intermission.
