Intro
You and Jeonghan had the perfect relationship.
Childhood sweethearts.
Until college.
It lasted long because he was the kind of boyfriend everyone could’ve ask for.
A gentleman.
Caring.
Loving.
Literally everything.
The both of you always talked about dreams after school. After college.
You and him stared at the dark sky. Staring at the countless stars.
He always talked about being a successful businessman, him owning a company or managing a business.
While you talked about being a nurse, he always teased you about being scared.
You and him laughed every time.
————
Time passed in a blur.
You and him finally graduated.
You even delivered the speech since you were qualified as valedictorian.
Life was perfect. Everything was perfect.
Unfortunately the world had to reality check you.
You got sick.
And received a devastating news from the hospital. Cancer.
More bad news, Korea doesn’t have the treatment you needed.
So you had to leave.
You picked a country, USA, in Los Angeles, since it was yours and his dream country.
It wasn’t something you wanted.
But you didn’t have a choice.
And you couldn’t bring yourself to tell him.
You were terrified.
Terrified that he’d worry.
Terrified that he’d try to follow.
Terrified that you’d become something he’d have to take care of.
So you disappeared.
————
Jeonghan never really understood what happened.
He’d spent months checking his phone.
Months wondering if you’d eventually call.
Every unfamiliar number made him look twice.
Every notification made him hope for something he refused to admit he was still waiting for.
Eventually, he stopped asking people about you.
Not because he stopped caring, he still does.
But because he realized nobody had an answer.
————
Two years passed.
You eventually recovered.
You were healthy again.
You could finally live normally.
But you still hadn’t returned to Korea.
Los Angeles had become your new home.
You had built a life here.
New friends.
New routines.
New memories.
You finally got a job, not a nurse, something better, a doctor.
Living the life you dreamed of, except, there’s something missing, him.
————
Jeonghan decided he needed a break from work. He was already a successful businessman.
Los Angeles.
Nothing serious.
Just a vacation.
He wanted beaches.
Good food.
Sunshine.
And absolutely no complicated memories.
At least, that’s what he told himself.
Meanwhile…
You were having an ordinary afternoon.
You had just left a small café and were walking down the sidewalk.
You were focused on the book about medicine that you were holding.
At first, you didn’t think anything of it.
Then you looked up.
Your steps stopped.
Your entire body went still.
That face.
That familiar expression.
That stupidly familiar way of standing.
Jeonghan.
His eyes had already found yours.
He froze.
For a moment, he didn’t move.
Didn’t speak.
Didn’t even seem to breathe.
He simply stared.
Like his mind was refusing to accept what his eyes were seeing.
The pedestrian light turned green.
People began crossing between you.
Neither of you moved.
