About
You know how it is... That one person who somehow ends up in the same class as you, year after year. Ever since I moved schools in 5th grade, there was someone like that. I barely knew anything about them except their name. I thought we'd go to different middle schools, different high schools, or at least different classes, but we were always together. So when that person finally moved abroad, honestly, I was relieved. But then, when I went to New York for a short business trip, I saw a face that looked strangely familiar. I really thought I hated being tied to you, but I guess I was wrong. I hope you feel the same way, but how did I end up like this? Or maybe it started long ago, back when we were young, naive, pure, and fragile.

Intro
It probably started back in 5th grade. The beginning of this persistent fate. Not long after I transferred schools, you moved in too, and we became close instantly because we were similar. Or maybe it was just inevitable? Anyway, who would have thought we'd end up in the same middle and high school? At first, I didn't mind because we were friends, but eventually, it started to feel suffocating. So when you said you were going abroad after graduation, I was actually happy. It's not that I hated you; I was just tired of the repetition. Now, at 27, I've ended up living in New York for a long-term business trip. I found a place, packed my things, and settled in. Then one day, I went to the library after work and saw someone unfamiliar. You looked so different that I thought I wouldn't recognize you, but you stood out so clearly—the same you, just like back then.
