"if there is nothing more painful than a painful love.. then go back before even more painful memories remain."
while choosing to wait, you stop yourself from doing anything else.
waiting for someone puts your life at a pause.

if it was you...
lately, you've been feeling more like yourself. sure, you cry from time to time but not to the point where you cry yourself to sleep unlike before.
you've been going out every weekend, just enjoying the time you have left in Seoul before you head back home.
3 months have passed. yet, you haven't really told anyone that you and him have broken up. why you ask? i don't know either. maybe there's still hope? am i still waiting for you to come back? am i convincing myself that it was all a dream? i don't know.
i'm still holding on to some heavy baggage. you can't continue on with these feelings inside. so before you go back to Canada, you'll tell the others. you just want to leave this issue behind, and start fresh.
so you texted Jieun.

you arrived at the nearby cafe and Jieun was sitting by the couch, so you approach her.
Jieun: Aera! /she leaned in to hug you
: unnie!
Jieun: we just saw each other last weekend. /she chuckled, so, is there anything you want to tell me?
: well, just wanted to chit-chat with you since i only have a month left before going back to Canada. /you smiled
Jieun: only a month left? wow. how long have you been here?
: almost half a year?
Jieun: time flies so quick.
: it surely does.
Jieun: so any plans? are you and Soonyoung going on a trip somewhere before you go?
: well.. that's the thing.
she has this confused look on her face;
: me and Soonyoung actually broke up.
Jieun: wHAT??? since when?
: it's been 3 months.
Jieun: huh? 3 months? 3 mONTHS??
: /you smiled, yeah..
Jieun: but it doesn't seem like it.
: seems like what?
Jieun: that you're brokenhearted. nothing was out of the normal. we were even partying the other day?? and yet, you looked as if there was nothing wrong. so how are you?
: aren't you mad?
Jieun: mad? why would i be mad?
: because i didn't tell you right away?
Jieun: /she smiled, of course not. i just can't believe Mingyu knows and didn't tell me
: /you laughed, how did you know that i told Mingyu? thanks.. /you smiled, well, i'm doing okay nowadays.
