HEEYOUNG

The cold breeze of Seoul blew against my small frame. I shivered as I felt the chill all over my body. I inhaled the good smell of nature and it made me calm.

"Sajangnim, you're still here? It's already late!" Mina, one of my employees called me.

I transferred my gaze from the city lights to her beautiful face. "Ne, I'll go home in a bit, Mina-ssi. Did you close already?"

She nodded, "Ne, I also turned off the lights, but I left one light on so you could see while you go down."

I nodded. She waved at me and excused herself. I sighed as I'm left alone again in the terrace of my own two-storey café.

It has almost been a year since I left SM. It was hard for me at first, considering I sort of suffered a heartbreak, but it's all over now. The boys still visit my café often. Sehun and I are still good friends and he swings by my apartment to give me things or sometimes he invites me for a drink.

Now that I have my own business, I rarely agree to these invitations. He was also busy preparing for their comeback. Finally, they'll have it three months from now, after being postponed for almost a year. Thinking about everything that happened a year ago, I feel really good that everything's over now.

I caressed the bracelet on my wrist, sensing the cold metallic feel against my skin. I'd be lying if I'd say I didn't miss him. Everyday and every night, he's always the first and last person I think of. I see him in my mind on some small things I do daily.

When I open the café, I sometimes imagine him inside, sitting and waiting for me. When I face customers, I often mistake a customer's voice as his, and I suddenly get distracted, only to find out that it wasn't him. When it rains and it's cold, I often think of him, I wonder if he felt cold as well.

But then I remember that he has someone to take care of him already. He has someone to remind him to take his medicines. He has someone to make him warm on cold and rainy days, and that thought broke me, and still breaks me.

Maybe this is what I deserve. He waited for me for so long, maybe it's my time to wait again, but this time, there's no guarantee that I'd end up with him. Maybe this is my punishment for abandoning him during the times he needed me the most.

I never saw him after that day at Eunpyeong-gu. When he came back from Hawaii, he had many interviews, mainly because of his dating rumors, and his then upcoming drama. He confirmed the dating rumors. They were dating, and are still dating until now.

I had too many attempts of seeing him, but I always end up going back home with tears on my face. I could never reach him. I tried to call his cell, but he already changed his number. I tried to schedule an appointment with him but his new assistant would say that he's busy with stuff.

For almost three months, I was obsessed with the idea of seeing him. But I couldn't. I could only see him on television and magazines. Sometimes I see him all over Seoul, his posters and promotions are everywhere.
