After crying for a long time, Gayeon stopped crying and escaped from my arms.I looked down at the floor and tied Gayeon's untied shoelaces.Then, Gayeon came to me and spoke to me with her eyes red.
" … sorry. "
"What is it?"
"It's not Gayeon's fault that she cried..."
" ...But how did you know it was me...?"
"He doesn't come often, but he leaves a deep impression every time he does."
"So, I think even the voice was familiar."
" ... In that situation, thank you for holding me and coming here."
"Hmm... Okay. Ms. Gayeon, if you don't mind..."
"Can I ask what happened between you and that man?"
After finishing tying my shoelaces, I asked Gayeon about her past with the man in the alley.Gayeon hesitated a little, then met my eyes and began to talk.
It was a cool, breezy autumn night two years ago.

"What did you say, just now...?"
"Let's break up."
"It's been a whole 3 years since we started dating!"
"But, what? You want to break up now? What's the reason? Let me hear the reason!"
"I was so tired from dating you. But! I have to achieve my dream too."
"You too...! You know what my dream is...?"
"You bastard, you… how could you do this to me?!"
" Break up with me and you can just make your dreams come true!! That'll do it.ah. "
Seokjin told me that he wanted to break up with me and then turned around and left.I'm so angry that I'm letting it go like this, it feels like three years have been wasted and shattered because of just one word.I caught him.
Turn up!
"If you go now... it's really over. Kim Seokjin!"
" ... Phew... I also had a hard time, Gayeon. While I was dating you."
" ...bad...bad person, you said you would only look at me!"
"You said you weren't leaving first!! You idiot... ugh...!"
It rained as if it was some kind of production that was right on time.I was crouching on the wet asphalt floor because it was raining.I hugged my knees tightly with both hands and cried loudly for a long time along with the rain.Seokjin just told me to hurry inside because it was cold and left me like that.

A few months later, after I had somewhat overcome the pain of the breakup, I heard the newsSeokjin went abroad to study to pursue his dream. At first, I was shocked.I threw away all my plans that day, came home, and cried my eyes out. I felt better soon after.

"What else is there to say?..."
“At the corner of the alley where we parted ways, what more was there to talk about?”
When the face I wanted to see so much was in front of me, I felt like cryingContrary to expectations, my anger only grew stronger, and I didn't shed a single tear.
"Hey, how have you been...?"
"... You figure it out, what are you going to do...?"
"Are you adding fuel to the fire and lighting a fire in the broken yard?"
"Gayeon, Jin Gayeon... Really...! I know you're really shameless!..."
" You don't plan on dating me again...?"
