You're like a gift prepared just for me
What should I do? It's a breakup..


"Huh- Really?"

"Yes, I had a hard time writing that."

"I really like that article!!!"

"Oh really? Then let's go to Korea together this time. I was planning to go to Korea too."

"...Huh? Korea...why again..."

"..Oh, that's right, Mr. ○○..I was an international student..Actually, I didn't come here to live. I planned to stay for 3 months to clear my head..I'm sorry.."

"Then... I can't see you anymore?"

"...Isn't that so...? Even if we could meet, it would be rare..."

"It seems like it's not a big deal... judging by the way you're smiling..."

"Yes..? Mr. ○○, that's not it.."

"No, let's not meet in private and chat anymore. As the old saying goes, even hatred is affection. Right now, I'm giving Jihoon... hatred. It's unlikely we'll meet in this big city, but it's easier for me if we get used to it now before it becomes rare in Korea. Well then... That's all."

"Mr. ○○...what's wrong? I'll send you the address of my studio when you come. We can meet again then..."

"No... I'm sorry. I never want to see you again."

"...Call this number every day...I'm leaving this country next week..."

"...Go then.."

Jihoon turned around and watched me walk away proudly, and said something that would make me unforgettable.

"..Don't be sick...I will love you forever.."

I pretended not to notice, thinking that he was practicing lines for the next novel... I was always the only one who didn't understand how painful breakups were... Now I understand. What if I foolishly realized it only happened to me now?

As soon as I got home, I leaned against the front door and cried. As tears fell on my coat, I felt even sadder at the thought that Jihoon and I would have to part ways, shedding tears like that coat and tears.

'Ji-Hoon, please go..'

'Go away... before I start liking Jihoon more...'
