You sit and listen pliantly as your best friend rambles on about how nervous and excited he is about marrying the girl. A girl, who he claims to be one of his dreams. Your head rests gently on your palm as you listen with open ears. It had been a long time since he'd moved to Korea and became the successful man he is today. One-seventh of the famous Korean band 'Got7'. Well-known in parts of the world for his smooth raps and dazzling visuals.
But you, apart from many, knew him beyond his fame. In fact, you'd known him since you were only a small child, around five or six. From the summers of '99 to the cold winters of 2008. That last year before he left to achieve his dreams. 2009 was a rocky year for you both- it tested limits, endurance, patience, and boundaries in your friendship. It wasn't the best year, but it could also never be the worst. Not when 2010 hit, when he actually disappeared- in a whole different country, no trace. Just you, alone with a heavy heart.
With the intruding memory of the Christmas of 2008.

"I wanna show you something," He whispered in your ear, tugging you behind him as he ran quickly past his family and yours- out to the back porch. up the ladder, and into his treehouse. one that had been spent enjoyed in with you by his side on many nights. others... not so great.
To this day, you still remembered the awe you'd felt once you saw it.
The small white twinkling lights illuminated the woodsy space so delicately. You squealed at the sight, turning around to meet the eyes of your closest friend, who had become a distant crush over the years.
He looked uneasy, but he pulled it together for long enough. "(Y/N), I don't know how to say this..." You sat down, pulling him down with you gently. He took a deep breath and folded his hands in his lap.
