- Ji-na, You remember how we first met, right? It was totaly random, and such a coincidence that we happend to meet and all. Snow was heavily falling, and the train was delayed. If it had not been, I might not even have reached just the same train as you happend to be on. And then nothing of this would ever have happend. The six months I spent with you afterwards, were certainly the best months of my life. The happiest and the saddest days I have ever experienced, and they where all spent with you.

1. Song Ji-na.

For a moment it felt like my ears was ringing, but then the cheers of the audience slowly wielded up in me, as my heart pounded faster and faster in my chest. The warm lights made me feel like I was melting away from this dream, and as the sudden euphoria confirmed: I was having the time of my life. I pulled the microphone up to my face, threw my hand in the air as I was screaming by the top of my lungs, - Thank you for having us here tonight!

My eyes moved over the everlasting audience, wich went jumping up and down. Over and over, and then I looked behind me. Seeing the sweaty faces of the rest of the band, seeing their bright expectfull smiles. They where my friends, my family, and my everything. Especially him, Hong Ri-seung. My boyfriend.

He were perfect, and he were all mine. Tall and lean, with blonde coloured hair hanging messily over his pale face, covering parts of his wild eyes. - Cheers!, we shouted, and clinked our drinks together. We were celebrating our greates gig this far, and how we where realy climbing up the stages of the stars.

- That was amazing!, I shouted, - Yeah Ji-na, we were pretty good tonight!, Woo-hyuk chanted, but Ri-seung interrupted him with a serious expression. - Good?, we pretty much rocked the stage!, said he before we all bursted into laughter. We all felt so satisfyed with our lives out of sudden, so gratefull for how far we had gotten. If I only had known how wrong I was at that time, perhaps I would not have gotten so dissapointed.

It was snowing that night too, it was two years before I decided to move on with my life, and travell to Seoul. It was so cold, and as it was getting late and we went out of the bar, we were all about to part our paths. Literaly. Ri-seung had just given me his jacket just when our drummer, Hyuk-shi, came with an illboding line. - Ri-seung, you will make sure to tell her now, right?

And for a moment no one said anything, there was not a sound expept for the falling snow that reached the ground. Ri-seung nodded, - about what?, it fell out of me, and just as fast Ri-seung bendt over to me kissing me playfully on my lips, - nothing.

I could allready sense something was wrong, and that the " nothing " they where preparing to tell me about, would be realy difficult for me to handle. Yet I shutt up, and waited calmly for the statement to slapp me in the face in true surprise. We walked silently back to Ri-seungs place, we took a bubble bath together as usual.

And then he told me it, in the most tentative way I had ever seen him speaking. He told me that scouts of some big entertainment had discovered his talent on one of the gigs, and offered him a trainee contract. A possible way to reach the stars by contracts, and not by the good old independent hard work. He would have to move too Seoul for this, and also leave our band.

I never wanted to stand in the middle of him and his dreams, and so I supported whatever decision around it that he would have taken. So that was it, he would leave us. But he invited me too come along with him, to live with him in Seoul. I felt so confused, as this meant that I would have to turn my back at my own dreams and friends. And instead just look at from a distance, how he would reach his goals alone.

I decided to follow him. I packed my things, and most importantly my guitar. Strangely enough he had been the one to teach me, we had so many memories together. We held hands that day, as we told everyone goodbye and went to get on our train. We were smiling, we had worisomme butterflies in our stomachs.

As we had reached the train just in time, and he where looking trough the wagon for available seats, I suddenly grabbed his arm, dragged him towards me and surprised him by a passionate kiss. Then as I left him startled, I jumped just out of the train as the doors closed right after me.

He banged on the door that would not open, - Ji-na!, he shouted over and over. I noticed the confusion in him being turned into tears. That was how our ways parted, as the train started moving away. He still stood there looking after me. We were both crying on that day, and I knew I had done the right thing. There was no way I would simply sit by his side, doing nothing while he gained all the succes by himself. No way. - goodbye Ri-seung, I cried as I fell down on the snowy plattform, - goodbye.
