one reason why
Taehyung and Seol
got on
so well,
the way they did...

was because
they both
needed someone.
and to feel
that same connection
was a magnet.

the next day,
Seol arrived
by the sea,
with reluctant steps
and prying eyes,
she knew
he'd be there.

Taehyung's pale blouse
swayed in the wind
as he crossed
his protracted arms,
staring at the way
the waves drew closer
and how
he didn't even flinch.
the man
acknowledged
every piece of the world,
even Seol,
and she
didn't realise.

her shoes imprinted
onto the slightly wet sand,
beside Taehyung's
as they both stared
mindlessly
out to the
never
ending
sea.

"i'm sorry."

her apology
meant a lot
to Taehyung
and he hoped
she knew that.
just one word,
held so much
meaning.

Seol felt awkward
because she expected
him to say-
it's okay.

instead,
he wrapped his arm
around her shoulder,
bringing her closer
and held her
as Seol leaned her head
on his broad chest
with a smile
so content.
