.. !

For the first time in years, I met your eyes. Even if it was only a dream .. I felt like I couldn’t miss this moment, one I’d never experienced before, so I gave an awkward smile for no reason.

.. Look ahead.

Jaehyun mouthed, “Look ahead,” then smiled and turned his gaze away again.

My heart started pounding again. This time so hard it rang in my ears. I could hear my heartbeat so clearly that I instinctively wondered if this was a dream and pinched my own cheek hard.

Ow ..!

.. Huh?

My cheek tingled. Why, why does it hurt .. ? Could this not be a dream? No way, that makes no sense. It’s not like I’m some magician—how could I go back to the past?

.. Of course, realistically, it makes sense that it’s a dream, but .. the cheek I pinched a few minutes ago still tingles. Even the feel of the spring breeze drifting in from outside the window was too vivid to be a dream.

- Class is over for today. Good job, everyone, and have a nice weekend ~

- Goodbye ~

The students quickly packed their bags and streamed out in a rush. But Jaehyeon .. was slowly packing his bag. With eyes that looked very tired somehow.

He wasn’t like that during class ..

After spacing out for a few seconds after you left, I left the classroom too.

Whoa, you startled me ..

Woonhee was waiting for me in the hallway in front of the classroom.

Seeing my best friend through 24-year-old eyes .. was way ..

cute.

Ugh .. sleepy

Maybe because I’d been to school and back, I was weirdly tired, so as soon as I got home I lay down on the bed and tried to sleep.

Yawn ~

.. I’m still in my 19-year-old body and environment. I pinched my cheek once more, and sure enough, it hurt.

So I really went through one of those regressions that belong in a drama .. ?

Yeah, it makes no sense, but I decided to accept it. I’m 19 now, and this isn’t a dream. Then ..

Can I save you?

I felt like I shouldn’t just sit still for no reason, so I went out on my own.

.. Back then, after Woonhee left the cafe, I looked up an article alone and found that Jaehyeon had died by suicid* in March of 2022, meaning next March.

I turned on my phone. Saturday, March 6, 2021.

.. I have to save you within a year.

I quietly watched the cherry blossoms drifting in front of me, then caught one.
