Yes, let's meet when the morning glory blooms and part when the flower falls.
W. So0o2
Have you ever experienced how an ordinary day in your life turns into the worst day of your life?
That day was ordinary. No, perhaps even better than usual.
I felt lucky from the morning on, just like the story of a "lucky day" I've heard before. I should have been suspicious at least once.
I heard that the company project that had been a headache for a long time had been successfully completed and that I would be recognized for my achievements and receive a bonus, so I stopped by the flower shop.'Good news'On my way to see you, I bought a bouquet of morning glory flowers that mean .
If you had noticed even when all the traffic lights were flashing green, would you have been safe?
That day, you left my side. No matter how much I called your name, that fact remained constant.
"I, I'll follow you right away."
He cried out that he would grab you and follow you soon.
_
After you left, every day was a series of miserable days for me. From that day on, I quit the job that had promised a stable future and refrained from going out.
For the first month, I repeated the cycle of dreaming about you, crying, and falling asleep exhausted.
From the next month onwards, I looked back on the time I spent with you. The photos, videos, letters, and things all seemed to prove our relationship, and I cried for a long time again because it felt like you were still by my side.
"Let's be happy. I want us both to be happy."
I was thinking of just following you, but then I suddenly remembered what you said before and I couldn't do that.
_
It's already been 364 days since you left. That day was truly an unfortunate day.
I felt more sluggish than usual this morning, and a close friend of mine was seriously injured, so I left home for the first time in a while to go to the hospital. On the way back, the soles of my shoes suddenly ripped off and a downpour began. It was a day filled with unnatural emotions.
As I finished the day and went to sleep, I saw that scene again in my dream, the day you left me, for the first time in a long time.
Perhaps it was because it was exactly the first anniversary. I opened my eyes to a sight that was still terrifying even when I saw it again. The first thing I saw was the clock pointing to 5:00 AM.
And then there was the morning glory peaks reflected in the moon outside the window.
"Huh? There were morning glories there? Since when?"
For a moment, I wondered if it mattered, then lowered my head. The sadness I felt was too great to be forgotten by something like a flower.
I must have been lost in sorrow for a long time, but even while I wasn't looking, the morning glory flowers were slowly blooming.
"Taehyung."
And then, as if by magic, I met you again. I was so overcome with grief that I thought I was hallucinating.
"You're not going to see me? I'm right here."
I slowly raised my head and there it was. You were in front of me.
"... Huh.. Yeoju..? Really..? Is that you...?"
"If you can see it with your own eyes, it must be real. By the way, why are you so haggard... Come on. Let's eat."
The faint smile of the female protagonist filled me with joy, replacing the sadness that had filled me just a moment ago.
Before I knew it, the sun had risen, and I gazed out the window at the morning glory flowers in full bloom. I had a proper meal for the first time in a while. I stared at her, wondering if I should ask her all these questions. Soon, she opened her mouth.
"morning glory."
"Huh? What did you say, heroine?"
"It's called a morning glory. I can see you while the flowers are blooming. In terms of time... only during the morning?"
Yesterday's events were probably misfortunes for today's happiness.
It was just nice to be able to see her again, even if it was just in the morning.
_
From that day on, I met her in the morning and gradually increased my outing time in the afternoon, working part-time, and this routine repeated itself.
My parents and friends all congratulated me on my hard work, asking if I was finally coming to my senses. I even received a call asking if I would return to work if I felt better. However, I declined, as I didn't feel like going to work in the morning.
The days of seeing her only in the mornings passed by faster than I expected. And then one day, the female protagonist said to me.
"Now, there's only one week left until we can meet like this."
It was a bolt from the blue. Does this make sense? Wouldn't it have been better if I hadn't tasted the sweetness of reunion in the first place?
It's true that the decline is steeper after the rise. That's how I felt right now.
For the remaining week, I was more diligent than anyone else in the mornings I spent meeting her, and I quit my part-time job and repeated the routine of waiting until the next day to meet her.
_
And the morning of the last day dawned. The thought that I would never see her again after today was heartbreaking. I didn't have the confidence to endure it any longer. So I said, "I'll go with you." I cried, begging her to come with me, because I felt like I wouldn't be able to go again if I was left alone.
"Come with me, I want to go too. I really can't stand it without you. So take me too. Okay?"
She gave me a sad look and told me not to do that, but eventually she said okay.
Of course, I was so blinded by my tears that I didn't see her meaningful expression.
So the morning glory of that day withered, and I followed her. That's all my story.
_
"Taehyung, did you know that? When a human dies, hearing is the last thing that remains. And is that true?"
"You said you'd follow me soon. I came to pick you up because I thought you were running late."
"Are you going to complain?"
"No, you can't do it.Because you love me fleetingly."

The flower language of morning glory_
Good news. Fleeting love. And,solidarity.

Hello, I am the author!
For those of you who have already checked the bulletin board, you may have seen this before... That's right.
This is an article I wrote to participate in an event, and although it seems to have failed a bit, I wanted to leave it in the short story collection, so I brought it here.
If I were to tell the story behind it, it was flowers... flowers... and then the lyrics from Magic Shop, 'When it blooms, it's like a rose, when it scatters, it's like cherry blossoms, when it withers, it's like morning glory, like that beautiful moment' came to mind first, but I had no idea what to write, so I was worried, and when I said 'morning glory', the lyrics just came to me for one day.
I looked up the flower language of the morning glory and found that there were three of them, so I thought, "This is it!" and decided to write this.
So, this was the behind-the-scenes story of the production of this article, whose title was taken from the lyrics of 'Just One Day'😁
