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...
It was somewhere in June, as I remember. Sunwoo and I were walking back from our primary school towards our playground. I claimed the playground as 'ours' because it seems that only the both of us who frequently visit there. As soon as we arrived, I put my backpack on the ground and started to play the swing.
Sunwoo came and sat at the swing beside me, and both of us played silently. " Ya, what's wrong with you? This is so not you to keep quiet.. " I sighed. He just slightly laughed and took out a piece of paper from his backpack. " Here, you are the first to know, " he handed over the paper. I took it from his hand with a small curiosity.
When my eyes tried to search for the main content of that paper, I stopped swinging. My hands fell on my lap. I tried to remain quiet. " (Y/N), what's wrong..? You should be happy for me!~ " Sunwoo jokingly elbowed me softly. I shook my head from sinking deeper into my thoughts.
Sunwoo is going to be a trainee as a new Cre.Ker boy group; The Boyz. He's going to leave me, is he?
" Mian(Sorry).. Oh, yeah, s-sure! Of course I'm happy for you! What ever that makes you happy, it will make me happy too, " I smiled at Sunwoo. Actually, at that time, my feelings were utterly mixed. Yes, I do feel happy and excited for him; but most of me felt super nervous and unready. Like, will I be able to face everyday normally even without his presence?
Suddenly, Sunwoo stood in front of me, and grab my backpack. He took out my snow globe that he bought for my birthday. Then, he shakes the snow globe, that made all the fake snowflakes - and some confetti- to fall all over inside the globe. " Ya, (Y/N), remember what I told you that day? Whenever your day is getting rough, if you do something to fix it even if it requires just a simple act, then surely it'll be fine again. " he smiled like he was pleased with what he just said.

I chuckled in relief. I'm glad that he knows how to comfort me. Even if his speaks a little, but his words meant something bigger. I look upon me, trying to lock my gaze into his.
" Kim Sunwoo, yaksok(promise)? " I hold my pinky finger infront of him.

" Yaksok, " he made the pinky promise.

Months and years have passed, and I'm growing into a much independent person.
Halmeoni passed away almost 1 year and 4 months ago, due to a heart shock.
It took weeks for me to get over her absence. My whole world seemed to collapse over me.
The house feels empty, no one celebrates my birthday anymore, no more home-cooked dak-galbi, and I can feel no warmth inside the house.
And, he never came back.
I am... all-- alone. Nevertheless, that snow globe made me continue my days as usual. Like nothing ever happened. All time happy.
Also, that was the time when I realize that my feelings for Sunwoo is true. Since he left me.
