Bye Boy

The loud noise of the city broke the silence. I was afraid to open my eyes, so I put my hands first.

I felt nothing.

I was numb to how the world worked. No one recognized me. Choi Beom-gyu, who even made news for what he wore, gradually faded from people's memories.

Choi Beom-gyu resented his hands, unable to grasp anything. He sighed at the loss of his body's ability to sense temperature, humidity, and texture. If there was one good thing about being a ghost, it was flight. That was it. The night view of Seoul, seen from his intact body while flying, was so beautiful and dazzling that it was hard to believe it was a place where someone had died.

As time passed, news from the One Day members also became less frequent.

The band is doing well without Choi Beom-gyu.

Choi Soo-bin's house, which I visited after a long time, was in chaos. Wet tissues and empty bottles were scattered on the floor, showing how much she had drunk and how much she had cried.



"It was ticking like that... What are you doing, hyung?"



Choi Beom-gyu burst out laughing. Choi Soo-bin, sitting on the living room sofa with swollen eyes and sobbing, looked incredibly small.

Even though it had been quite some time, he remembered me. It felt strange. A mixture of emotions was swirling around me.

Beomgyu avoided the scene. He felt like he would start rambling if he stayed any longer.

Even though I knew you wouldn’t listen to me anyway…

That's right.
