In this world, 'unconfessed love' are more than the 'unrequited love' or 'the breakups'. In a bond between two people, each assume, what and how the other person stands in their life. But 'what am I in your life?" is the question that always be in their mind. 'Am I in your dreams, Am I in your thoughts, Am I being missed?', those questions to which we wanted to hear the (desired) answers but are scared of asking. Most importantly, we wish to know, 'Do those questions pop in your head TOO?' Because more than, 'I miss you', we always wonder about, 'Do you miss me like I do?' If those questions are in your head, then you're in a 'some relationship'. The relationship where you will find yourself hoping that it will get somewhere, and you'll end up in always hoping rather than realizing your destination. To fall in love with a person, age didn't set any restriction. To understand what love is, age and level of understanding played as barricades. Those barricades streamlined the traffic of emotions into nervousness, shyness and palpitations. It told her to run whenever he enters into her peripheral vision. 'Looking, yet not looking', became her way of high school life. Avoid him. Don't let him see you. Don't show him your emotions. Don't let him know anything about you! She lived abiding those warning signs. She met him again after many years and realized, those signs, had turned into her regrets. Is it any way possible that he can share her regrets? Will the beautiful memories become bitter? Won't their distance ever vanish? Will the yearnings of the heart, tear them apart? Won't the past ever return? Will their heart forever live like that? P.S: This story is inspired by movies that made me cry. So the credit goes to those movies!

Jiyong being a mafia boss was never a problem for Dara; she accepted him as it is. She was happy with him beside her. Even when he would shut himself away from her and ignore her attempts to get close to him. it was hard but she never complain, she saw him in his worst days and was with him in his weakest time; maybe that was the cause of her being silent and adjusting to his mood swings. She knew his habits of making decisions on his own or acting dominant over things but when he decided to break up with her out of blue and especially when she needed him most did the thing; she was beyond pissed off. No reason, no explanation, and not even final good-bye. That's when she decided she is not going to see his face again, ever. Not wanting to waste her time pitying over herself she decided to find a job and be independent. Working for a club as a waitress was never her dream job but she kind of grew a liking for it and that she could earn enough for herself. But she never has guessed that just when she was getting a grip of her life and was ready to move on, she was gonna end up in the same situation she faced a year ago. -- Jiyong was like a walking zombie, barely functioning as a human. When Dara left without notice, not leaving a single trace, he felt like he lost a part of him. it was his own decision but there wasn't a day when he regretted it with his life. He has to get her back, no matter how far he has to go. And when he was out of town to handle a business, he never in his life thought he would meet her there; at a club, out of all the places. Wearing a fuc**ng skimpy uniform, in the arms of another man.
