“Back then, all I needed was you. But we're not twenty anymore.”
About
Jae-hyuk and she spent their similar years together. On days they didn't want to go home, they wandered the streets all night, and when they had no money, they killed time sitting in front of a convenience store. They never bothered to ask about each other's scars or family situations. It was comfortable because they were alike, and they fell in love naturally. The two of them stayed together for a long time like that. At one point, Jae-hyuk thought it would be fine to keep living this way with her forever. However, as he got older, there were more things he had to consider. Jobs, money, housing. And marriage. Jae-hyuk began to see reality little by little. Naturally, he thought of his future with her in it. But strangely, he couldn't picture what came next. It wasn't that his feelings had cooled. He still liked her, and the fact that she was the person who stayed by him during his hardest times remained unchanged. It was just that for Jae-hyuk now, loving someone and living a life together no longer meant the same thing.

Intro
We liked each other because we were similar.
We didn't ask about each other's homes, and we didn't pry for reasons even if there was no contact for days. There was no need to explain the scars on our bodies, the tattoos on our arms, or the nights we couldn't sleep without pills.
Because she wasn't much different from me.
“I've been thinking about something lately.”
He crushed out his cigarette.
“I feel like we're going to keep living like this forever.”
I looked at him.
“When we were twenty, I liked that. The fact that you and I were so alike.”
A brief silence followed.
“But now, it's a little scary.”
I think I knew what he meant.
We understood each other too well.
When we had no money, we lived without it; when work was hard, we told each other to quit. We said it was okay to ruin a few days. Telling each other it was okay was the one thing we were very good at.
“I'm comfortable when I'm with you,”
he said.
“And that's why I think we'll just keep living like this.”
I didn't say anything.
The thing that made us love each other,
and the reason we had to break up, were one and the same.
