To All the Boys I Reach- Huening Kai

Ran.
Just ran.
Even when I was out of breath to the point of choking,
Even when people called me a crazy bitch, I just kept running.

I wanted to reach you at your most brilliant, when you were eighteen.

Until recently
I started having strange dreams.

The day five years ago when you fell into the sea.

After dreaming it once, I dreamed that dream every day, and

the time was always from one hour before your accident, at
4:00 PM to 5:00 PM.


When I’d dreamed it about four times, I had a feeling.

Ah, so this is the past.





From that day on, I always tried everything I could to save you, but
no matter how things flowed, you always left.


At first I thought, maybe if you just didn’t fall into the sea,
even if we met in the park,
even if we met in the valley
you still left,

and even if we didn’t meet at all, word would come from far away.




And now, on the 30th day since I started dreaming.
Something seemed to tell me

that today was my last chance.

'.....Ah.'



Last chance.

I just ran like a maniac.

Even if the world were to be turned upside down,
even if I were given immense gains
all I needed was you by my side.


Far away, heading toward the sea,
I could see you, shining so brilliantly it looked like you might shatter.





'Please.. please don't go..'






"Oh, y-you.. Yeo-juya..!"

Thud,

inside your clear eyes, which had widened in surprise as they looked at me,
was me, finally having reached you.




At last
I saved you.
