"Huh.. I don't want to break up with you either.. but I had no choice.. "

" ... "

"Uh... I'm sorry."

".. idiot, why are you sorry about that"

"Huh? "


Suddenly, I heard news of my study abroad. I knew it would come someday, but I was quite taken aback by the sudden departure.


".. Studying abroad? You'll come back to Korea someday, right?"

" .. but "

"Hey lady... look at me"

" ... "


Swish-


"This might be the last time, but I can't see you crying like this."

" .. huh "

"Just come back. Even if it takes a long time, just come back to me someday."

" .. I don't know when that will be.. "

"..what does that have to do with anything lol"

" ... "

"You and I can't break up because of this capitalist world."

" ... "

"..I will stay here without feeling sorry to you"

"... Jihoon"

"I don't know when or how many hours it will be, but so that you can find me easily."

"Let's wait for each other, until the day we can return to each other."











The next day, Yeoju left. I regret letting her go a little, but I'm not that sad. Because someday, she'll come back to me even more beautiful. I, too, will grow and stay in that same place so I won't feel sorry toward you in the distant future. Just as this broken clock starts turning again, I hope the pinwheel in my heart will turn again.




I will always be waiting for you in that spot.
