30 Days with You [ChanBaek]✔️

EPILOGUE

One year has pass, since I had that wonderful dream. A dream that lasted for 30 days. Those 30 days were the most important to me because within those 30 days, I was with him.

That boy...

His name is still a mystery to me until today...

I want to correct some things on the first things I said. First, I didn’t get to be with him for 30 days, the last day we saw each other was on the 29th day. He just disappeared like smoke on the 30th. He didn’t complete on what we agreed on and just left me just like that. Second, I finally know his name. I asked the whole school and finally got to know his name, it was Byun Baekhyun.

The first time I heard that name, I felt something. The name is familiar to me, I already heard it but I don’t remember where and when.

I got to be with him in just a short while, only 29 days but those days became really important and the happiest that happened in my life. It’s just a short while but the best days. Sometimes, I feel like it really didn’t happen. That everything that happened is not real. I feel that it’s just a beautiful dream that quickly ended.

It’s been a year but my feelings towards him never change, I can’t believe that my love for him lasts this long in such a short period of time just being with him.

October 30, 2018

I have nothing to do, so I decided to go the mall by myself. While walking, I passed by the arcade, it still looks the same as it was before. i walked around when the toy catcher caught my eye, it was still on the same place where I last played it, but there are no more rilakkuma stuffed toys that the boy liked, it was now full of pinku-pinku dolls.

I walked away from the toy catcher but turned once again towards it when I heard a familiar voice.

“There! That’s the one I want you to get for me!” I turned hoping to see him, but it was not him but another boy that looked like a deer ordering his poker-faced boyfriend to catch one of the dolls for him. I suddenly remember that boy, he’s just like him when he ordered me to catch the rilakkuma stuffed toy.

“I’m not good at this game,” I laughed, we have the same answer as that poker-face guy. Ahh, memories are bullshit. Digging through all the things that I want to forget.

I left the mall, I decided to go to the park instead and just walk around to enjoy the fresh air. But I thought wrong, I thought going to the park will free me from my thoughts but instead, more memories came flooding to me because of the scene playing in front of me, the same thing happened in the past.

Calling your name

I can hold your hand

Only the sun shines on me

I should be so happy.

Calling my name

You are expecting me on my shoulder

The sunshine of the sky shine only on you

You have to be so brilliant.

So lucky, my love

So lucky to have you

So lucky to be your love, I am hmm

(Lucky by EXO)

There is this one boy in the middle of the park, singing in front of many people and was watching him. There was a boy in front of him and looks like the song was dedicated to that boy. When the song ended, he went to the crying boy and hugged him and said, “I really really love you! I’m sorry for what I’ve done, hope you forgive me. I really love you!”

Then the boy reached out three roses to the boy who is covering his mouth while tears continued flowing. I frowned, fate is playing with me. Why are you torturing me? The toy catcher, the boy singing, and now the three roses, all of those happened with me and Baekhyun.

I walked away from the scene, and my feet brought me to the back of an abandoned building where I see the almost faded drawing I did before. Maybe because of the rain why the paint faded away.

“Those 29 days really is not a dream,” I muttered to myself while walking near to the drawing on the wall. I put my forehead on it and tried stopping my tears from flowing. I really miss him. Where is he now? I want to see him again.

“Baekhyun…” I punched the wall to get forget about the pain I’m feeling on my left chest. “That boy…”

“That boy,” I stopped punching the wall when I heard a voice that I wanted to hear for a long time.

“That’s right, Baekhyun was his name. You don’t remember him? Maybe for you before, he’s not important, he’s one of your flings to waste time, that’s why you didn’t even bother remembering his name --- for you, he’s nothing, but for him, you’re important. He’s one of your many exes, he really loved you but you are a playboy that time, so you really hurt him.”

Try guessing it, Chanyeol

I can’t believe that this is the answer. I’m the guy he was talking about before, I’m the ex who hurt him and didn’t care about his feelings. That’s why his name is familiar but because I have many exes and I mostly don’t care about them, I can’t remember their names.

“He left the school on the year you guys broke up, he was diagnosed to have a disease that was already in a worst state. So he went out of the country to heal and also spend some time with his parents abroad. When he was finally feeling better, he asked his parents to let him go back to Seoul to study. Then he met you again, you’re in the same school and he thought that he’ll be with you again for 30 days even though he forced you to be his boyfriend. He still loves you even if you didn’t take his love seriously. It was time when he’s finally going back to America for an operation, and they’re not sure if it will be successful or not, it was a risky operation but if it was success, well, he’ll be fully healed but because of the fear of it not being successful, he made up his mind and decided to be with you for 30 days.”

I remembered the time when I saw him went inside a building, there is a clinic there, did he go there for a checkup? I didn’t know that he’s sick.

“But you were gone on the 30th day!” I screamed when I turned to looked at him.

He still looks the same, aside from his hair that had gotten longer but still the same fluffy brown hair from before. The wind blew and he fixed his hair. “Forgive me, my parents suddenly asked me to go back to America immediately. I needed to be check by the doctor there about my condition to know if I’m ready for the operation. But that’s not important anymore, the operation was a success and now I’m back. I will be studying here once again. And I’m back in front of you to complete the promise I made for the 30th day. And this time, I’m asking you to be with me until the end of our lives.”

He smiled at me, and I smiled back.

Ahh, I now know who I’ll bring on the altar one day….

I now know who I’ll be taking care of…

I now know who I’ll grow old with…

I now know who I’ll love and cherish forever…

Who is it? No other but him.

I love that boy.
