The hot sun hits me straight in the eye from the floor of Seojuns bedroom. I sit up uncomfortably as my back aches from sleeping on the hard ground.
Seojun sleeps on peacefully as I crawl out of the slim window.

I brush my knees off as I land on the sandy ground.
The soft ground crunches under my feet as I run to the concrete happily. I trot down to Taes housr and freeze when I get to the driveway.

The house remains pitch black. In the dark of the night I had not noticed how clean the patio was. All the inflatables that we never used were gone and the white deck chairs were folded and put away perfectly.

I felt my heart rising to the top of my throat causing me to gulp largely. Tears pricked at my eyes but I held them back knowing that its perfectly normal to clean up like this especially when theres only one day left of you holiday.

I walk up the driveway holding my shoes in my hands. I place my fist in the door and knock excitedly.

"H-hello?" I call through the door.

I step back laughing nervously as those tears start returning and my throat tightens as my breathing sharpens.

I glance around the neighbour hood incase theyre visiting when my eyes catch the paper note on the table. Its held down by a rock.

I slowly creep towards it. The jagged edges snag on my fingers as I slowly pick it up and un fold it.

Dear Chunja.

My eyes scan the page.

I am truely so sorry to have to tell you this over a note, but unfortunately me and my family had to depart after our dinner.

"N-no!" I gasp as tears start flowing. I cover my mouth with my hand. I can't believe what I'm reading. My stomach turns sick and I feel like I could vomit at any time.

Last night half way through our dinner my uncle called us to say my grandad was brought to hospital last night. He is in a bad way. I tried to delay us leaving as much as I could so I could say goodbye properly but you were a bit late coming home.

"No!" I gasp out as my hand trembles. If we hadnt stayed for desert maybe I would have caught him.

Chunja , Words can't describe how much I love you so I will not try to make them, I'm not the same person I was when I came here, I'm a better version of myself and thats all thanks to you.

"Awh..." I squeeze my eyes shut. My knees weaken under me and I fall to my knees.

This was the best way to spend my last 'free' summer and I will never, ever forget it. I wish things could be much different but sadly they just can't.
Never doubt yourself Chunja, you are a beautiful person inside and out, whoever gets you will be one lucky man.
I wish that you don't let this affect your future life because being stuck in the past is never good (but don't forget me!)
Until we meet again - because we will one day! I know we will.

You're my end & my begining Chunja!

I love you

Tae- ;)

"No!" I whine as the letter ends. "Tae? Taehyung!" I shout. "Its not funny!"

I glasp the thin paper in my hand as I read it over and over and over again looking for answers that are already there.
