Today too, without fail
The train arrived at midnight.
As always, precisely and quietly.
But today… is different.
Kim Yeo-ju, just before boarding the train,
I looked back at Won Bin again.
And asked.
“Now tell me.
“Why did I have to come here?”
Won Bin looked at her without saying a word,
He opened his mouth slowly.
“…in the past,
“You have been to this station before.”
"……yes?"
“I won’t remember.
You left first back then.
Erase the memories, burn the letters—
“I really, completely, left everything behind.”
The heroine swallowed her breath.
He continued speaking.
“That person,
Even after you leave
“You were the only one who remembered me.”
“…That’s you?”
The moment Won Bin nods his head,
Somewhere in the heroine's memory
The back of a man in a white shirt came to mind.
Midnight, at the end of the platform
A person who smiled without saying a single word, “Don’t go.”
“Why didn’t you say anything?
Why, am I leaving…?”
“I caught him.
But you erased it and left.
You said you wanted to erase the memory itself.”
“…Why did you remember that?”
“Someone must remember,
Because that was true love.”
The heroine's eyes turned red.
“…So, I erased you and left?”
“Back then… I said that was the only way to survive.
“That love was so painful.”
A moment of silence.
The heroine spoke quietly.
“But why am I here again?”
“Even if memories are erased, emotions remain.
What you forgot is the story,
“What I remembered was a feeling.”
“…….”
“And this station,
Only those who followed that feeling
“It’s a place you can reach.”
At those words, the female protagonist closed her eyes as if she had collapsed.
Real memories began to come back to me one by one like a puzzle.
The two were lovers.
Last summer
The two rode the train together,
We had a big fight while traveling.
—“I feel suffocated when I’m with you.”
—“Okay. Then let’s finish it.”
And then, we broke up.
After some time passed,
The heroine came to this station.
At that time, in order not to think of ‘that person’
I wrote a letter and burned the memory.
And Won Bin remained.
Everything she erased
As someone who remembers.
"……sorry."
In that one word,
The air above the platform has changed.
Won Bin said.
“That’s not what I wanted to hear.”
“…Then, what was it?”
“I wonder if we really loved each other back then—
That's the answer."
The heroine stood there for a long time.
And slowly, he nodded.
"…that's right.
That was… true.”
The train doors opened.
Won Bin looked at the female lead.
Without saying a word, he bowed his head slightly.
Not goodbye,
A greeting close to a confession.
Yeoju boarded the train.
At the last moment, just before the door closed—he said.
“I’ll remember this time.”
The train has departed.
On the platform, Won Bin was still standing.
But today, for the first time,
There was no regret in his expression.
📘 Epilogue
Kim Yeo-ju opened her eyes in the morning.
Sunlight was streaming through the window.
She sat still for a moment.
But somewhere…
One side of my chest felt warm and heavy.
On the mobile phone
One message from an unsaved number.
Next time, let's take the same train.
