gifts

"take a piece of my heart,
and make it all your own.
so when we are apart,
you'll never be alone.." —shawn mendes, never be alone

on my last birthday i spent with him, he gave me a gift i could never lose, something i could never trade for anything.

it was a locket, in the shape of a full moon. bronze, just the way i liked it. it was rusty and i liked the color so much. he knew that i could never pick between silver and gold, and he knew i liked bronze.

he said in the hierarchy, bronze came in third. but i didn't care, i liked the way it looked and I didn't give any thought about how low of a position it had.

inside the locket was a picture of us. a photo in the photobooth on our first year of being a couple. he had big silly glasses back then, the ones that would take up half of his face.

on the other side of the locket, there was an engraving.

사랑해 (i love you)

i remember hugging him so tight that he couldn't breathe.

"it's custom made." he mentioned.

"it is?!" i remember pulling away from the embrace in shock.

"mhm. not in a million years would that picture of us fade. never, never ever."

he kissed me so gently, i remember being so grateful that i got the chance to spend those precious moments with him.

the christmas before my birthday, i gave him a bond touch bracelet. it was a gift for both of us, a gift i had saved so many months for.

"babe isn't this too expensive? don't get me wrong i love it but you spent so much money for this." he looked at me with worried eyes when he held it.

(bond touch bracelets are used by couples usually or just loved ones. it's those bracelets that will vibrate at the touch of one, no matter how far they are from you)

"it's a gift. you're supposed to spend money on it, silly." i smiled at him.

i think i pulled out my own bond touch bracelet at that moment, wearing it on my left wrist. i remember pulling his out of the box and putting it on his wrist.

"watch." i said.

one, two, three.

his bracelet lit up and vibrated as i touched my own.

"woah." he stared.

"can you guess what that was?" i asked him.

"i love you?" he asked with eager eyes.

i chuckled and kissed him on the cheek.

"yes it was."

"you're the best girlfriend ever, i love you." i remember him saying before hugging me.

i wanted to be with him, always. and i know it's redundant, but the sense of comfort with lee minhyuk was something i could not explain.

but one thing is for sure, it was something i didn't want to lose.

but i did.
