“I smile whenever I see you”
My heart always goes to you
The promise we shared under the sunset was stronger and deeper than any confession.
but
As soon as that warm day ended, reality became busy again.
Jimin immediately went on an overseas schedule.
I returned to my familiar routine.
A few phone calls, a few short messages.
That's all there is between us these days.
One evening,
I got a text from Jimin.
박지민 (25세)
“Seeing this reminds me of my older sister.”
In the photo
small beach cafe
It resembled the seats we sat in that day.
이여주 (27세)
“Wasn’t the sunset pretty that day?”
박지민 (25세)
“It was pretty. But… it was even better because my older sister was by my side that day.”
Those words made my eyes sting for no reason.
Longing seeped in quietly.
A few days later
The cafe door opened.
I said “Welcome” automatically,
As soon as I raised my head, my breath stopped.
It was Jimin.
Tired eyes, but still a bright smile.
박지민 (25세)
"Surprise~"
이여주 (27세)
“Jimin… you… came back home today?”
박지민 (25세)
"Yeah. Before I go home,
박지민 (25세)
"I came to see you first, sister."
I hugged him without saying a word.
Short and quiet
But with a full heart.
A little later,
We sat side by side in the corner of the cafe and drank warm coffee.
Jimin held my hand tightly
He held out a small box.
이여주 (27세)
"What is this?"
박지민 (25세)
“I chose it while thinking of my older sister.
박지민 (25세)
“I just… put in as much as I wanted to see.”
Inside the box
A small, shiny bracelet
A thin gold chain that resembles my wrist
Jimin put it on my wrist himself.
박지민 (25세)
“When you look at this… I hope it makes you feel like I’m right there with you.”
I quietly raised my hand and covered the back of Jimin's hand.
이여주 (27세)
"Thank you, Jimin.
이여주 (27세)
Me too… I thought about you a lot.”
Jimin smiled slightly and whispered.
"Even though we are apart, our hearts remain connected."
Those words put my mind at ease.
My heart that wants to see you has always been going to you,
At the end of it always
Jimin was there.
