"Time really flies."
"I see. It's tomorrow now."
"I'd like to throw a party..."
"Mir hates that."
"Why are you so sullen? Mir probably doesn't like this atmosphere."
"That's true."
"But I want to go see you off tomorrow."Jun-hwi
"Mir, you're leaving early in the morning."
"The lady said she wouldn't tell me what time it is."
"And tomorrow you have to come to our school..."
" ... "
"Okay, everyone, let's laugh! Laugh!"
"Mir will be here soon."

It's Thursday, the 12th. And tomorrow is Friday, moving day. I'm excited to move to a new place, but sad to have to say goodbye to the kids. The excitement and sadness come together.
I smiled as brightly as I could and entered the classroom. The classroom was filled with second-grade students. Perhaps they were talking about me.
"What? What is everyone else doing except me?"
"I just wanted to talk to you for a bit."
"You guys go now."Wonwoo
"I really hate it. It makes me want to move classes."Jun-hwi

"Mirya... I really don't know what time we're leaving tomorrow..?"
"I really don't know..."
"Because my mom didn't tell me."
"I keep asking, but you don't answer."
"Well then, I can't help it... but I wanted to at least see you off."
"It's okay, you don't have to see me off."
"We'll see each other again anyway. A year will pass quickly."
Things went well with Jisoo. About seven days ago, Jisoo bought me a drink, saying she was feeling better. Since then, we've been talking a lot and joking around again.
"Next year we'll be adults. Just tell me the address of where you're moving to. I'll take the kids and go play."
"I'm sorry. You didn't even give me your address."

After school, Soonyoung and Wonwoo grabbed my wrist and led me somewhere. It was a science lab, now unused. Everyone was gathered there. Perhaps they were there to say hello to me. I felt a pang of sadness for no reason.
"I won't say hello, senior. I'll see you again."
"That's right! We'll definitely meet again!"
"I'm really going to miss you..."
The first ones to start are Hansol, Seungkwan, and Chan, who are in first grade.
"Even if you miss me, don't cry."
"If you want to see it, look at the picture we took together."
"If you come here hurt, I'll be mad."
I think my seniors would want to see it more than I would. Thanks to Jisoo-hyung, who was setting the mood for no reason, I started laughing. Jisoo-hyung saw my laughter and smiled back.
"Mir, hey... don't forget me. Just like that. Got it?? "
"Ah...hey, he's crying again."
"Have a nice trip."
"If you come late, you'll get in trouble."
"We'll see each other in a year anyway... I'll miss you, Mirya...!!"
"Ah... all the kids are crying. But don't cry too, Jomir."
"Why are you guys crying? It's like we haven't seen each other in a long time."
"Well, it's the same Republic of Korea anyway."
"It will be easy to meet since we are looking at the same sky."
"Really... thank you all. I'll be back soon."

After dinner, I was packing up my remaining luggage when I received a call from Sunyoung and went out for a moment.
"I'm going tomorrow."
"Yeah... time really flies."
"I don't think it was this fast last year."
"Well... I guess you were happy being with us."
"That's right. I'm happy..."
"I was happy. Now it's in the past tense."
"I... Mirya."
"I have something to tell you."
Soonyoung's expression became a little serious. I couldn't help but remain silent. I could see her face slowly turning red. What could she possibly be saying that would make her blush? No way... I felt my own face flushing as well.
Sunyoung looked at me and then opened her mouth.
"I like you. I like you, Mirya."
"I wanted to tell you before you moved."
"I'm afraid I'll regret it if I don't tell you..."
" ... "
"Thank you for confessing."
"I like you too, Soonyoung."
Soonyoung grabbed my hand. The atmosphere became tingly. My hands, intertwined with hers, also felt ticklish. A pink glow seemed to flow between us, and although the weather was a bit chilly, I felt warm.
"I'll tell you to date me when you come back, so please come back."
"Yeah. I'll be back."
"When I get back, don't forget to tell me that."
"Can I kiss you?"
" of course. "

Yesterday, Sunyoung walked me to my house. I hadn't really left the house, though. And finally, moving day dawned. All my belongings had been moved, and all that was left was for me to get out. My steps felt heavy.
What is this anxiety?
"That's right, daughter. Dad has to go abroad for work. Mom and you will go with him then."
"What?! You didn't say anything like that!!"
"It was a sudden matter... It's really important. I'm sorry, daughter."
"Ah... how many years... have you been there..?"
"It'll probably be around 5 years."
Maybe this was the reason I'd been feeling this uneasy all along. It was so sudden. Maybe that's why my mom didn't tell me where we were going. I couldn't move my feet.
5 years is longer than 1 year... So I think it'll be more heartbreaking when we meet again in 5 years... 😥😥
5 years will pass quickly. Haha
