As soon as graduation is over, Beomgyu takes Sarang out to downtown.
I can't believe this is the last time with you. I am leaving Korea tomorrow.
Will I be able to forget you..? Will I be able to get along well without you?
My nose is tingling. I need to see you a lot before I go today.
"What are you staring at, Mr. Choi Beom-gyu?"
Because it's so pretty
"Seriously, I hear that all the time."
Do you remember when we were little?
"Um... yeah, you were so tiny that you used to get beaten up by Subin and the neighborhood kids."
"Hey, forget about that. It's a dark chapter in my history."
You're the one who started this haha. Acting like I'm your savior or something.
You protected me from the neighborhood kids. I remember you following me around ever since then.
But who would have known you would become such a reliable friend who protects me?
Come to think of it, Subin and I have been together ever since we were little kids.
"Love, you won't forget me, right?"
"Of course~ How could I forget you? You're my dearest friend."
At that moment, Beomgyu's eyes reddened and tears welled up immediately. Seeing that sight
Love wipes away the tears welling up in your eyes, asking why you are crying.
Thank you for thinking of me as special.
You are also really special to me.
"What's wrong with him today? Talking like he's going somewhere... Don't tell me, it's not you."
Yeah, I'm leaving for Korea with my mom tomorrow.
At the words that you are leaving, love makes my heart sink.
I knew I was going, but the mention of tomorrow makes my eyes waver.
"Not even in a few days, but tomorrow? Why are you telling me now? Do the kids know?"
Only Subin knows. That's why I cleaned up the whole house. I'm sorry, Sarang.
"Are you kidding me? I was planning to go out and have fun before you left!"
" ...."
You jerk, I was even planning to quit my part-time job.
I was planning to get together with the kids and go out to play, you idiot.
"Will I be able to endure rainy days without you...?"
"...."
That's my biggest worry, but I'll try to endure it.
So, Love, you have to get through this well without me, okay?
"Overcome what do you mean you'll overcome it, you idiot!!"
Seeing Beomgyu trying hard to smile, she hugs him like a child and cries sadly.
I wonder if I have ever cried my eyes out like this. I love you, my love. You are my eternal love.

It is a love with swollen eyes, as if it had cried all night.
They are at this airport to see Beomgyu off.
Love, who just glares at Beomgyu and won't even make eye contact, as if sulking.
"Sarang, are you still angry?"
" ...."
I'll contact you often.
" ...."
"Are you really not going to talk to me?"
"Choi Beom-gyu, I will hate you for the rest of my life"
To think that all you can say is that you will hate me for the rest of your life
Just as he was about to turn around and leave with a smile, he grabbed the hem of Beomgyu's clothes
Love speaks in a tearful voice
Make sure to contact me when you arrive. If it's too hard, come back.
Don't forget that there are us waiting for you.
With those last words, Sarang leans on Kai and cries.
I say my final goodbyes to everyone and enter the gate.
And so, Beomgyu left our side.

Nothing had changed for us in our 20s. Yeonjun was busy on overseas tours, and
He naturally drifted away from me. Beomgyu struggled with life in the U.S. at first, too.
She made friends and seemed to adjust quickly. She contacted me often and said she missed me.
There were many days when I cried, but I became stronger because of it. Kaido returned to the main family.
For a few months, I felt empty, but Taehyun and Subin were always by my side.
Sarang suddenly got a job without even retaking the entrance exam. Sarang became an office worker.
Subin and Taehyun entered university and were spending busy days as college students.
And on rainy days, around the time the wounds were dulling, Yeonjun... to me
We have returned to our hideout, the place where we used to meet secretly away from people's eyes.
It was okay even if it rained. Your broad embrace was that stable, and
It was a warm sanctuary. We sensed the parting even without saying a word.
Wow, it's been a really long time since I've been here.
That's true.
I met my mom
" really?"
"Yeah, I guess they saw me on TV."
They came to find me. I asked why they only came now.
My mom got angry and asked if I came here for my money, too.
Yeonjun's eyes wavered. He said that, but I know he didn't mean it.
You missed your mom so much. It broke my heart to see the tears welling up in your eyes.
Yeonjun continued speaking.
"It turned out he remarried, so I immediately..."
They said we couldn't meet. It was ridiculous. I missed you so much.
You came to see me before, too, when Dad came to visit me.
"Yeah, that's right. I hugged you back then, Yeonjun. It's okay to cry if it's hard. It's alright."
"Mom told me she's sorry"
"...."
"I'm sorry I couldn't give you love..."
In the end, Yeonjun trailed off and shed tears.
I hugged Yeonjun like that, telling him it wasn't his fault and that it was okay.
I patted your back and comforted you, asking how you could possibly carry all this burden alone.
I want to tell you that you did well enduring and surviving, and thank you.
He told me to come to him anytime if I was having a hard time.
"I'm sorry, my love, for not being able to be by your side on a rainy day."
"...It's okay. We're here right now."
We hugged each other tightly without saying a word.
My scar throbbed, but compared to Yeonjun's pain...
I'm going to erase this wound from my memory, it's nothing.
Beomgyu loves you very much
" ...."
"You didn't run away to avoid me, did you?"
"...Maybe? I've been avoiding you all this time. Maybe I was denying it."
So, you've made up your mind now.
"Yeah, but I'm not sure if he'll come back."
" ...."
"...What if he really doesn't come back?"
"Hearing that hurts my heart. I thought it would be me until the end."
"...."
You don't have to apologize if Choi Beom-gyu hurts you
Tell me anytime, and I'll scold you, got it?
And so, the two of us broke up.
I missed Beomgyu so much right now.
