Heaven's Cloud
The identity of 'me'? 1/2
Soft morning sunlight streamed in through the window.
Seungkwan carefully put down the bowl he had finished eating from, stretched out his arms, and stretched.

“Ugh~ I have to go to work today too... Ah, I really want to rest at home.”
Jiyeon smiled without realizing it at the cute grumbling tone.
Seung-kwan got up from his seat and looked at her with a leisurely expression as if he had finished his meal.

“I had a good breakfast. Thanks to you, I feel energized.”
김지연
“…I’ll finish the dishes.”
Then Seungkwan shrugged his shoulders and smiled as if it was nothing.

“It’s okay. I can go and do it when I come back. Don’t worry.”
Before long, a much softer air flowed between the two than before.
During those times when small laughter was exchanged, the two of them unknowingly took a step closer to each other.
After Seung-kwan closed the door and left, silence fell over the house again.
Jiyeon leaned against the window and slowly closed and opened her eyes.
I wanted to go out. Follow my heart.
She opened the door and stepped cautiously forward.
A cold wind blew past my body, but I didn't feel as numb as before.
I was soaked in the rain, in the air, and the heat of the asphalt reached my toes.
The feeling of being able to live like a human being, a strange yet gradually becoming familiar sensation, shook her.
김지연
‘Why… why is this change happening now…’
As she was walking down the street, she deliberately approached a stranger and bumped into him.
But it's a familiar feeling. An empty friction that passes through.
김지연
“Yeah… this is my original appearance.”
Trying to convince herself like that, Jiyeon just walked down the street.
Near the subway entrance, Seung-kwan's image reflected on the billboard stopped her in her tracks.
His brightly smiling face appeared amidst the flashing colorful lights.
He was still an idol loved by people. And, he was the only one who looked at her.
After standing there for a while, she started walking again and before she knew it, she had arrived in front of a university hospital.
It felt somehow familiar. It felt like something my body remembered.
Jiyeon stood in front of the door. She tried to go in cautiously, just in case—
김지연
"....!!"
Her body felt blocked. It was as if an invisible wall was pushing her away.
I couldn't get inside the hospital.
김지연
"…also."
Jiyeon lowered her head.
And at the moment when I was about to turn around, something fell on my head.
A light piece of paper, as if it had fallen from the sky. It brushed her head and fluttered to the floor.
김지연
"...??"
Delay stopped and looked at the floor. It was an old photograph.
She slowly reached out and picked up the photograph. On the faded paper was a familiar face.
김지연
'……me?'
The person in the photo was clearly Jiyeon.
But she looks a dozen years younger than she is now. She has long hair, smiles, and wears plain clothes.
At that moment, an older looking woman approached me in a hurry.
????
"Ah...I dropped this..."
She took the photo gently and dusted it off with the back of her hand.
Then he carefully put the photo into his bag and walked away quietly.
Jiyeon started walking behind her without thinking, as if she was being led.
My heart began to beat slowly, very strangely.
김지연
‘Why my photo...?’
With an inexplicable sense of anxiety and a strange attraction, Jiyeon's footsteps cautiously followed the woman.
