❁; 

all yumi could do at the end of the day was lay her head in her arms and stare at the endless wonder that was a blank wall. not completely blank just an empty frame that one held the flower.

she would drag herself to the kitchen and open the fridge that was once filled with different flavored cartons.

she would open a certain cabinet that was completely empty ,,except the light colored plastic lunchbox with the printed cartoon characters on that was stored at the very back . the one that had a tag attached to it saying happy birthday !

finally she would look in her purse, and see the plastic bag empty. the "for lucas" written on the front smeared and faded.

she wouldn't smile or frown at seeing the name written. the fact that she saw the name and was physically forced to read it in her mind seemed to not phase her one bit. this was because she was too weak to do so.

yumi would look in the mirror and see the new her

the incomplete her.

✿;

all lucas could do was rest his head on his pillow as seolhyun slept soundly beside him. occasionally throwing her arms around his waist and hugging him tightly. thankfully this night she was all the way at her side of the bed. he took this as an advantage to turn his head to face the bedside table, which had a small crumbled up delicate orange peculiar flower placed right in the middle.
a marigold.

he would get out of the mess of white bedsheets to walk towards the corner of the room to his backpack, this being one he had on him the day that he was with her at the hospital.

he would unzip it to find strawberry and banana milk cartons. he pulled out the pink berry drink and observed it's disappearing logo. at the back he found a sticky note "for yumi ♡"

he on the other hand was also in the middle of smiling and frowning. he loved her.

———

they would both do this every night.

in the darkness they would get up.

walk out and find items (or where items used to be) and remember why they are so important to them.

this would be the only way for them to be nostalgic and remember when everything was well.

it would also remind themselves of the fact that it was never going to be completely well like that ever again.
