I sprinted to a nearby park and hid behind a large tree.

That's when I called you.

"Binie-"

I cut myself off at the sound of your voicemail.

Tears rose in my eyes.

I called you again.

More passionately this time.

Voicemail.

I bit my lip hard, trying not to sob.

You were always there, so why weren't you here today?

I heard heavy footsteps from afar.

Like someone was running.

I could only guess it was Kai, so I hid behind a tree further into the park.

Like a game of hide and seek.

The present versus the future.

It was a dumb game, but I still played.

Kinda like loving you.

It's dumb, but I still do it. I can't help it.

You're all that's on my mind.

Your name.

It sounds too nice, like I'm kicking crisping leaves.

Catching snowflakes.

Smelling fresh-cut grass.

I called you again, this time it didn't go to voicemail.

You ended it before it could ring a single time.

I finally let out a pathetic sob, covering my head in my hands.

I hesitantly looked up again in case Kai was there.

But instead I saw something much worse.

I saw you sitting on a park bench.
