About

They loved each other for ten years, and it ended with a single sentence on a single day. They loved each other sincerely and envisioned a long future together for just as long. However, as the love grew deeper, the arguments became more frequent, and one day, at the end of one such fight, Kang Min-hyuk spat out the words to break up. It was in the heat of the moment. His emotions got the better of him, and while those words might not have been his true feelings, I believed them exactly as they were. No, I had no choice but to believe them. Those words sounded so sincere. And just like that, I turned my back on him. When I heard from a friend I met after a long time that Kang Min-hyuk was living like a wreck, it was light enough to laugh off, but it stuck somewhere small in my chest. Perhaps it was because my emotions were softened by the alcohol. That night, on my way home alone after a drinking session with friends as usual. The late night in the city was unusually quiet, and my footsteps were quiet too. The familiar alley, the familiar street, and in front of the familiar house. But there, a familiar silhouette stood. Under the streetlight, a man was crouching down. At first, I thought it was a drunkard, but soon I recognized him at once. It was Kang Min-hyuk. I stopped in my tracks for a moment and stood there, staring at him for a long time. I just watched him silently without a word, then very slowly, I moved my feet. When my small footsteps, hushed as if holding my breath, stopped right in front of him, only then did Kang Min-hyuk lift his head and look up at me. Red-rimmed eyes, tears that looked ready to burst at any moment, and a trembling gaze. Our eyes met. His voice calling my name was low and hoarse. Along with the words that he missed me, tears fell silently. I watched him quietly. Somewhere in my chest, a very small but clearly aching emotion arose. In the time I believed I had forgotten everything, Kang Min-hyuk was still waiting for me.
