Because I loved you so much,
Even though our separation was only for a moment, it must have etched itself deep in my heart and tormented me endlessly.
Who said that on a day when the full moon rises beautifully, if you look at the moon with someone special, your wish will come true.
Oh, maybe it's already happened.
We parted ways on a day when the full moon was shining brightly.
🌕
That day, the full moon was shining brightly. On my way home after a hard day, I happened to stumble into a small convenience store and met her for the first time.
She was the image of a cool adult to anyone who saw her, as she stopped and restrained a man who was abusing a young girl who appeared to be drunk and working part-time.
Without even a moment to sit idly by, I helped her report the man to the police and left the convenience store. She smiled, thanking me for my hard work. Her appearance, illuminated by the moonlight, was beautiful.
Strangely, I couldn't forget her appearance from that day on. Maybe it was something like this.'It was love at first sight.'That's what they're saying.
It was only a few days later that I met her again, whom I thought I would never see again.
🌗
About a week had passed since that day, and the company I went to work at was strangely busy and noisy that day.
When I entered the break room, my coworker Jimin was there, so I asked why. He scolded me, saying I didn't even know a new team leader was coming. What the heck? It's not like we'll ever run into each other again.
When I looked up at the manager's announcement that a new team leader had been appointed, I had no choice but to reconsider my thoughts. It was the woman I'd met a week ago.
"Hello. I'm Seo Yeo-ju, the newly appointed team leader."
As my first impression, she was upright and righteous in everything she did. I was gradually drawn to her.
🌑
She, Jimin, and I were in the same position, but most of the employees considered us rivals within the company due to our position as team leaders.
I, the team leader of Team 1, who was originally famous for his excellent work ethic, Jimin, the team leader of Team 2, and Yeoju, the new team leader of Team 3, so maybe that's why we've earned the title of the elite trio?
It wouldn't have been the case if we hadn't had any mutual restraints, but contrary to rumors, the three of us quickly became close. Jimin and I, who were already close, were a given, and surprisingly, Yeoju, who I got along with, also quickly became close and familiar with us.
And that day was a day when Team 1 and Team 3 had to work overtime because their work speed was particularly slow.
Jimin, who got off work first, teased the two of us and left, and I was so absorbed in my work that I didn't even have time to say goodbye.
I sent my team members home first and was left alone with Team 1 to finish up when I heard the door carefully open.
It was the female protagonist.
"Is there still a lot left?"
When she asked if there was still work left, for some reason, the only thought that came to mind was that I had to finish the remaining work as quickly as possible.
If it's too late, it's too late. In my pursuit of perfection, I've never tried to do it this quickly. With the speed of my fingers accelerating, I opened my mouth to answer her question.
"No, it's almost over now."
"Then I'll wait here! Let's go home from work together."
I nodded at her answer and smiled with relief. Why? The mere fact that I was leaving work with her seemed to wash away the fatigue that had built up until just now.
Perhaps because of her influence, we finished work faster than expected and the night sky that greeted her and me was pitch black.
In this unusual atmosphere, the walk to her house felt unusually short. Perhaps it was the unusual atmosphere, or perhaps the unrequited love that had been building for so long had finally surfaced as the surroundings grew dark. On that pitch-black night, with not even a trace of the moon, I leaned against the streetlights and confessed. Perhaps it was the atmosphere, I thought.
After yelling, I started to regret it, wondering if it was too cool, if it was too sudden, and all sorts of thoughts came to mind. Then, her mouth slowly opened and my heartbeat grew louder.
Surprisingly, her answer was'yes'It was.
🌕
One day, I went on a trip to the beach.
We used to talk like that on a night when the full moon was brightly shining, walking along the night sea.
"They say if you look at the full moon with someone special, your wish will come true, Taehyung."
"Really? Then we should make a wish. I'll pray, 'Please make us both happy!'"
"Me too. I will be the first to wish you and me happiness."
Maybe that wish came true.
Yeah, if she's happy now, then it must have come true.
🌓
Another day, the crescent moon lit up the sky. Like a half-empty moon, the fact that she was sick left the seat next to me and my heart half empty.
It was a particularly busy day with a lot of work, but late at night after work, I went to see her with some porridge and medicine.
Since all the lights in the house were off, I was careful not to wake the sleeping heroine, so I left a small note on the desk and left.
How could I have known then that there was no one in that house that day?
🌕
The day I broke up with her, the moon was full, unlike my empty heart.
Just like the day I first met her. So bright.
She said goodbye to me, who had dressed up and prepared flowers for the long-awaited meeting, as if it were a death sentence.
"Let's break up now."
In the end, I couldn't bring her back after she changed her mind, and so we parted ways. Like flowers falling without an owner, I fell into the abyss without her.
On a day when the full moon was shining brightly, our meeting came to an end.
Who said that if you look at the moon with someone special on a day when the full moon rises beautifully, your wish will come true?

Yes, does this feel familiar? I've reworked the post I posted on the bulletin board for the last event :) I've polished it up, but if it still looks like a mess, it's because my skills aren't up to par,,, haha
