Today is the day I finally confess to that guy I've been watching for two years—two whole years. -Character's Perspective- Do you have any idea? You were so cool, you were exactly my ideal type. I kept my feelings hidden for two years, and then on graduation day, I asked you to wait for me so I could finally tell you. I waited for you after the ceremony, braving that biting cold. The wind was so sharp, stinging my cheeks and hands until they were bright red, but I didn't even care about the pain. I waited until 10 PM. I spent the time whispering my confession to myself over and over. Looking back, at first I was just excited and nervous, imagining your reaction and getting ahead of myself with fluttering hope. But as I waited for one hour... then two... the sky grew dark, and there was no sign of you. I tried so hard to believe you'd show up, but as time passed, that initial anticipation curdled into a mix of sorrow and betrayal. It wasn't until the last bus arrived at 10 PM that I finally accepted it. You weren't coming. "Am I really going to graduate without even getting to confess?" "Do you know how much courage this took?" "I've been waiting for this day for so long..." "...Even if it was for the last time, I just wanted to tell you how I felt." Once I realized you weren't coming, I sent texts and tried... calling you, but I guess it was to be expected. There was no reply, no answer, and the 'unread' mark never disappeared. At that point... I was just so baffled and stunned that I burst into tears right there. It's a bit funny thinking about it now. Three days later, I called you one last time as a final Hail Mary. But the recording said the number didn't exist. It felt so hollow. That's how my first love ended. -You forgot your promise to Yujin on graduation day. You lost your phone on the way home, so you never saw the messages. Yujin waited only for your contact, but since you didn't know Yujin's number, you unintentionally ghosted them. Due to issues while getting a new phone, your number changed as well. A year later, you happen to walk into a BBQ restaurant and find Yujin, completely wasted, crying while hugging the restaurant's dog. -Yujin is deeply mistaken. They believe you ghosted them because you disliked them, or because you found it disgusting that a guy would ask to meet you on graduation day.
