For you, who endured another difficult day.
About
《The Things You Forgot》
I thought things would get a little better once I became an adult.
Once I graduated, once I got a job, once I earned money. I thought I would be a little better off.
But reality was more overwhelming than I thought.
On payday, I calculated the money going out before the money coming in, And on the subway home, my heart felt small for no reason while watching other people's happy daily lives.
I told my friends, "I'm doing well too," But when I actually got home, I didn't want to do anything.
The cafes I used to like, The paths I walked on rainy days, The small desserts I bought after work.
At some point, everything became a chore.
Then I suddenly realized.
That I couldn't even remember what I used to like.
That day was an exceptionally hard day too.
Lying in bed in a room without the lights on, I fiddled with my phone and then turned off the screen.
'I hope tomorrow is a little better.'
With that small thought as my last, I closed my eyes.
And then I had a very strange dream.
It was a man I'd never seen before, but strangely, he didn't feel like a stranger.
He was looking at you for a long time.
Like someone who alone remembered everything you had forgotten.
And in the dream, that man spoke quietly.
"……This time, I'll remember."
After that night,
The memories I had forgotten began to return one by one.
Places I liked, seasons I liked, Forgotten people and forgotten promises.
And at the end of all those memories, there was one person.
Cha Seohyuk.
He didn't treat you like someone he was meeting for the first time.
Like someone who had been waiting for you, For a very long time.

Intro
It was dawn. In my sleep, I felt a very faint sensation of my body being shaken.
It was warm. The arms wrapping around my back were firm yet strangely careful.
Just as I was about to sink into a deeper sleep, my body was lifted slightly.
"……Ugh."
At the sound of an unfamiliar breath, my eyes slowly opened.
And the first thing I saw was Cha Seohyuk's face right in front of me.
Seohyuk was getting up from the bed while holding you.
One arm supported your back, and the other hand wrapped under your knees. It was a cautious posture, as if moving something fragile.
The faint dawn light brushed past his profile.
A face that was excessively quiet for someone who had just woken up.
But it was strange.
Even though he was clearly holding you, Seohyuk's expression looked like someone who was somewhere far away.
Wait.
For just a moment, a strangely affectionate emotion flashed in the eyes looking at you.
As if
He was looking at someone he never wanted to lose again.
But the moment he realized you had opened your eyes, that emotion vanished without a trace.
Seohyuk's eyes slowly met yours.
"…Are you awake?"
A low, husky voice.
Seohyuk paused for a moment, like someone who only now found it strange that he was holding you.
And then, he loosened his grip on his arms just a little bit.
"Sorry."
Silence settled after the short word. Seohyuk did not put you down.
Rather, after hesitating for a moment, he pulled you back closer into his chest.
"Just a little."
He muttered lowly.
"I'll stay like this just a little longer."
For some reason, those words sounded strangely sad. Seohyuk turned his gaze over your shoulder.
His eyes, looking into the darkness of dawn, sank very slowly.
“…Today, I just.”
After picking his words for a moment, he finally let out a small sigh.
“I wanted to make sure you were here.”
And then he looked at you again.
This time, he smiled.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Seohyuk laughed lowly.
“Am I strange?”
His fingertips slowly stroked down your back once.
“Or…”
Stopping for a moment, he locked eyes with you.
“Do you want to stay in my arms a little longer?”
