호시
The stall door creaks open.

I force myself to look up.
I see you.

I hiccup.
I bow my head down, away from you.
I feel ashamed. I look so weak.

You now see the truth.

"Soonyoung.."

"I'm sorry," I say.

"Don't be," you reply.

And then you hug me.

우지
When I saw you, my heart fell.
It crashed to the floor and broke.

I'm holding you in my arms.
I try to wipe your tears away, but they keep falling.

In the end, I give up and just continue hugging you. I rub your back hoping to calm you down. I tell you that everything will be okay.

If your smile makes me feel crazy, lifts my spirits up and makes me smile too, your cries, your tear-stricken face, your pain just visibly rolling down your cheeks; they make me feel like dying.
