The questions every teen ask to themselves is always the same. Why am I here? Where did I go wrong in life to end up like this? Why can't I just slither away from my misery and go with my idols? They are so much hotter than the guys in my school anyways.

The words they may say to themselves may be the same as well. Sometimes I just want to die. Sometimes I just wish that life would just end up perfect. I don't want to be here.

These things were all thought of at one point in our lives. But, could someone please tell me why the hell I'm at this party with a bunch of rich people when I should be at home chilling and watching dramas.

"MIIIINNAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" My best friend shouted from across the room. 

"Here we go again..." I muttered under my breath.

"Yah~ Why are you standing here alone?" She asked me. 

"Yeseul, you are drunk. Get away. As much as I love you, I hate the smell of alcohol." I said.

"Minaaaa~ Pweeeaaaassseeee drink with me! One! Just one." Yeseul begged, grabbing onto my arm. 

I gently pushed her off of me, trying hard not to gag at the smell emanating from her.

"Shiro." I said, walking away. Yeseul pouted but eventually went back to partying. 

Currently I was at this huge gala for my late mother. Every year since she passed, there was always an enormous party held in the top floor of the Seoul Tower. This year would mark the fifth year. The higher part of the chain would come here. It wasn't really a time to mourn my mom. It was really just a time to party, drink and eat. Chill. That's what people said my mother would've wanted. But, honestly, my mom really would have wanted to stay at home and rest. In events, she is very social so that my father can keep up his godly image. Ugh. Stupid father. Always pushing my mother to her limits. 

My mother died because of breast cancer. By the time we figured out she developed breast cancer, it was already too late to save her. Our family just decided to let her rest. It was what was best for her anyways. 

After she passed, everything turned dark for a moments time. But, soon it returned to normal. Like an eclipse. As the moon passed over the sun, it was the time where my mom died. But soon the sadness cleared and everything turned back to normal. Just the same as the moon passing by the sun and the daylight once again returning to normal.

I walked to the elevator and went down two floors. There was a viewing deck there and I desperately needed some air. The doors opened revealing the clear but bright skyline of Seoul.  I noticed a shadow standing on the observation deck, so I went to the one opposite of the one the shadow was standing on. Looking over the Seoul skyline, it reminded of a time I went with my mom to Han River together. It was one of the most precious memories I had with my mother alone. 

That night, we went to the street food stalls in Myeongdong, did tons of shopping together and ate ice cream. It was calm and relaxing, finishing our day by walking along Han River. 

"Mina-ah. You know I don't have enough time left, so I wanted to give you a perfect day with me together." Mom said, that day as we sat next to the river bank. 

"I know. Thank you mom. I just want you to know that I love you. I'll definitely regret it if I don't say that now." I said. I rested my head on her shoulder. 

I could feel her smile.

"I love you, too my dear." She said, happily. Then she suddenly began to rummage through one of her bags. She took out a small box. She handed it to me, directing me to open it. 

Inside was a necklace,  it had a sun and moon pendant on it. 

"I got it for you. When the day is bright, I will protect you with the rays of sunshine. When the day is gone and the moon had risen, I shall watch over you with the man in the moon. Whatever the time or day, I will be with you forever and always." She explained.

Tears began to blur my vision. I gave her a quick hug and she helped me the necklace on. 

I hugged her once again and we just stayed their for the rest of the night, hugging each other and enjoying each other's company.

I came back to my senses and I had unknowingly begun to cry. I quietly sobbed, missing my mother. I then felt a jacket being wrapped around my shoulders. 

"What's a pretty lady like you doing all alone?" A deep voice said. 

I sniffled and wiped away my tears. "Remembering my mother."

"Ah, so you are the famous Lee Mina." The guy guessed.

I nodded quietly. The two of us stayed silent for a little while.

"Why are you here?" I asked him.

"I guess I'm remembering someone." He said looking into the distance. "Anyways, you shouldn't cry anymore. You look prettier when you don't and it hurts me when you cry too."

I looked at him a little confused. He turned to me and smiled.

"Mind giving me your number?" He held out his hand for my phone.

Hesitant, I gave it to him and he quickly entered my number into his phone. Suddenly his phone rang. 

"Yah, where are you?" A voice asked.

"I'm at the observation deck. I'll come up soon. Don't worry." He paused for a moment. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Don't get yourself too drunk. Mm, okay bye." The mysterious guy put his phone back into his pocket.

"Well, that's my cue to go." He said. 

He began to walk away when I grabbed onto his wrist. "Wait."

He stopped and looked at me.

"What's your name?" I asked.

He smirked and walked towards me, closing the gap between the two of us. He slowly leaned towards me and I could feel my heart beating loudly in my chest. I closed my eyes anticipating a kiss, but when two soft lips landed on my cheek, I immediately opened my eyes once more. I looked at him in the eyes and a familiar feeling filled my gut. 

"That's not for you to know today, love." He said. 

Then he left.
