One of many

Three years

The day before Seri left for Switzerland, her mother visited her at home. She didn't want to see Seri cry anymore, but her mother knew that there would be nothing to comfort Seri but to see Jeonghyeok again, not any words or gifts. So her mother sent prayers and words of encouragement to her daughter and held Seri's hand.
Seri thought about it on the plane to Switzerland. Even if she didn't see him this year, next year, the year after that. The years would not change her mind. The image of him behind her eyelids, the warmth of his body, his voice and the sound of the piano came back to her vividly. Will one day it will fade away and she won't be able to remember him anymore? And what if she has become a page in the past for him? He could have returned home and married his fiancee as planned. In such a case, he would not come to Switzerland. Seri has no way of knowing what he's up to. She would just have to wait and trust him, sending out information one way or the other. It was a very risky gamble, which was rare for a competent investor like her. But most importantly, there was a huge return for her. She didn't mind taking any risk for that. She knew that no matter how much she thought about it, she would never have an answer. A long flight and the beginning of a journey with no guesswork to find him. She shook her head to shake off the thoughts in her head and fell into a shallow sleep as she forced herself to meditate.

That day, Jeonghyeok went to his parents' house to greet them as they departed. His parents saw the hopeful look on his face and reminded him of his son before he went to Switzerland to study. But this time, he had another goal in mind, not just the piano. To see her again.
He told his former companions that he was leaving for Switzerland and at the same time confided his secret plans to them. They were surprised and delighted by his confession and wished him well.
'May the two people who love each other be reunited.'

It was the wrong train that brought Jeonghyeok to Seri. She descended to him again. That day they were joined together for the first time. He had only a week left to stay with her. But in that time they could spend their time together without anyone threatening their lives for the first time.
'I'll see you next year. I'll see you at this place.'
For the first time they made a promise for their future.
