He used to be the boy whom I look up to.
He used to be the boy whom I never miss, because he was always beside me.
He used to be the boy who'll comfort me when the sky was about to fall.
But, you know, they say,
" Out of sight, out of...
" By any chance, do you remember me..? " I forced myself to ask that question that has been messing with my mind.
As soon as Sunwoo heard me, his stare becomes more intense. I gulped. He turned away.

" I don't know you, so please, make it quick. " his rough voice and not very soothing tone shocked me. Is he being real?
How can he forget his one and only childhood friend? The one that made promise to me that he'll never be able to delete me off his mind, and also the one who promised that he'll come back as his old-self whenever he becomes a superstar.
But, now, it's different. Everything is different from what it's supposed to be.
My hands are getting cold because the anxiety has filled me in. I pat my sweaty hands on my lap. I try not to cry, because I don't want to look like a total pathetic in front of him. " I-Is that so? Well, if it is, then let me tell you my name. I'm (Y/N)-- " " Stop. I didn't ask yours. So stop acting like a fool, " he harshly describe me.
I can't hold it anymore. I know at that moment, a single tear rolled down my cheek. It's not a tear for missing him, how long I've been waiting to meet him again.. It's a tear of despise. Surprisingly, I never ever thought that his words can be deeper than a knife.
I wipe that single, weak tear, using my right sleeve. My lips draw a smile. " I get it, totally get it. You must think that I'm a complete stranger, trying to claim that I'm one of your contacts, even tho I am not. But, just let me give you a present if that's the least that I can do, " I opened my backpack and took out a small snow globe. It was mine, that Sunwoo gave me during my 11th birthday.

This might be stupid, but I can't just keep my little anger anymore. " This, this is the present that I said earlier. " I forced a smile, putting that snow globe in front of him with great care. As soon as his eyes caught on the snow globe, I can read his face, telling me that something recalled inside him. Like he remembered that gift he gave me.
" I'll go, " I stood up, and take a good look of him before I started to walk away. But my steps slowed down when I heard something crashed on the floor. The sound of shattered pieces of glass.. made me completely stop. I turned around, and everyone turned at me. Sunwoo throws that snow globe on the floor. He just, did.
" Ya, Sunwoo-hyung! What are you doing right now?! " Eric grabbed Sunwoo's shoulders firmly. I can't focus on them, because my pace was set on the place where the snow globe has shattered. My knees become so weak that I started to kneel down. My trembling hands started to pick up the glass pieces. " N-No.. This can't b-be, " I cried in disbelief. It was my treasure; the only one that kept me in fine state until this moment.
Because of my lose grip when I started to weep, I keep pressing the shards of glass until I didn't realize that it cut my palms. Younghoon, who is sitting far from me, run with his most abilities to reach me. " Stop, (Y/N), please.. You're hurting yourself, " he picked the glass shards that was in my tight grip. I didn't even glance at him because I feel completely spaced out. I stared blankly at the floor, with the feeling of stings on my bleeding palms.
" Take away this trash, I hate it. " Sunwoo spoke, before he walked out of the place.
