Love is better than pain

16. So that you can remember today for a long time

디에잇(명호)

“Siyeon. Would you like to go on a date?”

Myeongho held Siyeon in his arms for a long time, then asked slowly.

At those words, Siyeon raised her head.

강시연

"A date...?"

디에잇(명호)

"Yeah. We'll go for a drive, take a walk... We even made a reservation at a restaurant.

디에잇(명호)

“Let’s just stay together today without thinking about anything.”

Siyeon felt a pang of emotion for a moment, but forced a smile and nodded.

강시연

“Okay. Let’s go.”

Following the city lights, the car carrying the two people drove quietly.

The scenery outside the window was sparkling with night light,

Myungho held Siyeon's hand from time to time even while driving.

디에잇(명호)

“Wind, isn’t it cold?”

강시연

"No...it's warm..."

After finishing their drive, the two walked along a quiet path near the Han River.

Siyeon silently leaned cautiously on Myeongho's arm.

This very moment, it was so precious, like time had stopped.

We arrived at the restaurant a little later. The window seat was luxurious yet quiet.

A single rose was placed on the reserved table, and quiet jazz music was playing.

The meal arrived, and the two continued eating as usual, but a little more cautiously, smiling.

Suddenly, fireworks erupted outside the window. Red, purple, and yellow lights burst and scattered across the night sky.

강시연

“…Huh?! What’s going on all of a sudden…?”

Siyeon looked out the window in surprise. Myungho smiled silently and looked at her.

강시연

"Could this be...?

디에잇(명호)

“Yeah. On nights like this, there needs to be at least one firework to make it last longer in the memory.”

At those words, Siyeon's eyes slowly became moist.

강시연

"This is really unfair...why is it like this..."

The end of her words trembled. Siyeon turned her head and wiped away her tears.

How can you hate someone who creates such beautiful memories for someone who is preparing to break up?

강시연

"Oh really...."

Siyeon fanned her face with her hand to stop crying, and Myeongho smiled prettily, looking at her as if she was cute.

That night,

Siyeon looked at Myeongho's face, which was quietly smiling from the seat next to him. His eyes were still bright and smiling.

A playful gaze. A gaze that sparkles only for you.

강시연

‘What if I never see this person again?’

Siyeon began to prepare for a real breakup in her heart for the first time.
