ALL THAT REMAINS

The young man sighed and breathed again. He had been sitting in the customer corner waiting for a while. Looking up from the phone, he saw his girlfriend's expression as she turned left and right, not finished examining the orange and light blue dress. Girl's long legs to the back before placing a cold hand on either side of her shoulder.

"Can I choose yet?"

"I don't know which one to take."

"Well, I told you already. that he likes the rose color more But any color Songso can wear is cute."

Song Seo picked up her phone and saw that there was still no reply to the message she was waiting for. Recently, Eun Seo didn't reply to her messages much, and he rarely answered her calls. Invited to go on a trip, always refused. Claimed to be busy I'll go look for the room. He said he always ran errands outside.

After reconciling, Hyungwon behaved much better this time. Thank you Eun Seo That helped me decide to go back to Hyungwon, even though I thought at that time that we would definitely break up, but no matter how much I've gotten better at taking care of him day by day. Instead of feeling good, Song So felt more and more irritated every day.

It's not the same anymore.

“I sent the pictures to Eun Seo to help her choose. Haven't responded yet..."

"I agree that it's a son color."

Hyungwon grabbed the rose-colored dress hanger from Songso's hand.

“No, I'd rather take the light blue one.” Song Seo hurriedly pulled the blue dress onto his body before turning around and walking slowly away.

"I don't understand women at all."

After shopping, the two went arm in arm to an ice cream shop. weekend The mall was especially busy. It took a while before we got the ice cream, and the first bite of ice cream was about to be scooped into our mouths. But suddenly there was a reason to put down the spoon rod. Song So's eyes glanced at someone through the shop window. People she knew well

Her only close friend, Eun Seo, is flipping through the pages of a book with a handsome man. They looked up from their books and talked and laughed for a while.

Or if this man is Eun Seo's boyfriend, why doesn't his close friend like Song So know anything? She was feeling hurt. The young woman opened and looked at the message with the attached picture sent to Katak, which the other party had already read. But didn't answer anything back. Song Seo looked up from his cell phone screen and looked at Eun Seo again.

Eun Seo is smiling.

Song So doesn't want to feel this way, why is she upset? Even though I saw my friends being really happy.

Only not with her...that's all.

“Songso, what are you looking at?”

Hyungwon asked after Sungso put down the spoon of ice cream, his gaze staring beyond his head.

causing the young man to turn around and look at him

"Oh, that's Eun Seoni. Wow, my boyfriend is really handsome."

As Hyungwon used to be a senior at university. So I got to know Eun Seo from the time he started pestering me to flirt with Song So.

"Huh? Do you think he's your boyfriend?"

“That's right, a cute woman hanging out with a man with such good looks can't be anything else. Believe me....just like us."

“Are you going to compliment me on how handsome I am?” Song Sou pursed his lips at his laughing boyfriend.

"I intend to compliment my girlfriend."

Hyungwon grabbed Songso's hand, which reached out and hit his shoulder just in time. Then he kissed it once, eager for the cuteness of the person in front of him. Song Seo almost withdrew his hand before the nearby ajumma saw him and turned to gossip.

'I like the light blue color, it's beautiful'

Actually, you don't have to ask, Song Seo knows that Eun Seo likes the color blue. Anyway, I had to choose a blue dress. A message from Eun Seo that popped up around 7 p.m. caused Song Seo to send an angry emoticon back in my ear.

'What are you telling me now?'

'I'm sorry, I was busy during that time. I just had time to reply. 'Sad face emoticons followed in droves.

'Can I say something directly? Eun Seo just has a boyfriend. There's no need to hide it.'

'I saw her at the mall with a guy. in the bookstore'

Eun Seo was silent for a long time until Sung Seo thought to himself that it must be like what she thought. Decided to call but Eun Seo didn't answer her calls anymore. Didn't even call back.

'Now we're all good, right? With Hyungwon'

Song Seo couldn't help but be annoyed with Eun Seo for no more than five minutes when the message came in. Eun Seo doesn't answer her question but instead asks a question.

'Answer first, why didn't you answer the phone just now?'

'I went to boil ramen. I'm hungry.'

'Please choke!!!'

A petite girl with light hair walked past Song Seo with a bag full of snacks. She suddenly stopped.

Slowly turning to the attractive young woman who had been waiting in front of this room number since she left the room and until she returned. This woman was still in the same place.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Do you know if Room 412 has been out for a long time? When will he come back?"

"Are you looking for Eun Seo?"

"Yes."

"Ah... moved out a couple of months ago."

Song So blushed, why didn't she know anything? It's just that the matter of Eun Seo distancing herself is infuriating.

But now they have moved to different places without saying a word to each other. Sung Seo suddenly realizes that she hasn't seen Eun Seo in several months. Until last week the mall was trying to figure out why Eun Seo was trying to avoid her. Another message was sent to a number that was memorized as Eun Seo.

'Will you play like this?'

Sung So isn't sure about Eun Seo's words, they keep getting stuck in her head. Since I heard

"I don't want to see you sad........ But things like this We probably can't help each other. We can't stop ourselves from loving someone. That's too bad. There have been many times that I've had to cry and be sad. But I still love you....I don't know why either. You already have the answer in your heart."

Eun Seo is in love with someone instead of that guy.

So selfish

Song So prayed in his heart that that person would be her.

Lying tossing and turning on the bed until the blankets were all crumpled, Songso didn't even know. I don't know why such a crazy thought came into my head. When Hyungwon comes in to flirt again. When I met Hyungwon at Rai Eunseo, he always interrupted me. Eun Seo said that she didn't really like Hyung Won hyung because of his sweet words that Eun Seo said he would yell at every time he heard it. She felt that Eun Seo was possessive.

But that might just be Song So feeling good. It's something that close friends would do. But then Hyungwon started pushing harder and harder until Sungso thought he'd try opening up and talking. It probably shouldn't cause much damage.

Unexpectedly, just a light breeze caused the dandelion flowers to float along with the wind. A young woman who was innocent and in love also wiped her knees with tears over and over.

Song Seo secretly hoped that three months ago Eun Seo will forbid her from going back to Hyung Won again. Starting from thinking about her question-filled relationship with Hyungwon in the end. It seems like things are going back to Eun Seo.

Two cold hands clashed back and forth until one grabbed Songso's hand and put it in his school uniform bag together.

Just those wide-eyed eyes and smile are enough to make you feel warm. It couldn't compare to the warmth of our tightly clasped hands right now. Song Seo's face became intensely hot. It was the first time holding hands with this close friend.

"Aren't you looking at the weather forecast?"

“Yesterday it was still hot. Who would have thought that it would suddenly rain this heavily?”

Now there were only two students left at the bus stop, with the next bus stop being almost twenty minutes away.

The damn rain still shows no signs of stopping. The Meteorological Department has announced that the summer monsoon will begin today. Today the wind is strong and the atmosphere is gloomy, but this afternoon is different from the bright sunshine of the past several days. The wind blew and the two girls' long hair became tangled. Eunseo laughed when she saw Sungso trying to hold onto the light-colored bangs tightly.

"They said People with broad foreheads have good fortune, I'll tell you."

“You already have an umbrella, right? Let's go.” Sung Soji said Eun Seo didn't even have to wait for the bus with her. The dormitory is a few more intersections away.

"No, I'll stay as friends."

In fact, the mouth just chased it away.

The dark sky and humid air were not very pleasant, but because Eun Seo was beside him, this was enough reason for one day of heavy rain to turn into a good day for Song Seo.

"Your car's here. Let's leave it for now. Don't break it."

"Ah--"

Finished grabbing the clear umbrella and stuffing it into Songso's hands, his light figure ran out through the rain, taking off his school suit and covering his head.

Without stopping, he turned around and smiled and waved goodbye to Songso amidst the raindrops that continuously poured down. It seems like the raindrops that spread all over the sky can't do anything to that smile...

It was on that day that Song So became sure.

But

The clearer it becomes The more she found a way to blur it

Song So just finished loading his things into his new room yesterday evening. The boring holiday has come around again.

It's late but you're still in your pajamas. A thin figure leans on his knees and looks out the window. Strangely, this time Sung So didn't even hesitate or regret breaking up with this senior boyfriend. Even though now he takes good care of everything, but... it's not his actions that have changed.

It's already past the saturation point. Sung So never loved Hyung Won.

Because she has always had someone she loved.

There is still no call back from Eun Seo as usual. After calling, no one answered. Now it's turned off.

The message Song Seo sent to Eun Seo was no longer read. I'm almost completely exhausted. But he was in no mood to continue being angry. No matter how angry Eun Seo was, it seemed like it all boiled down to nostalgia. Not good at all

At least Eun Seo should tell her the reason why being apart is unfair to her. But since this is what Eun Seo wants Song So can't do anything but please don't let me see him.....

coward

Hands brushed aside a small pile of mail on the table, miscellaneous water and electricity bills, a package of strawberries from Nami Island that my stepmother had sent. etc. His eyes glanced at the small light blue envelope at the bottom, coming from Busan.

Signature of sender: Son Ju Yeon

That's Eun Seo's real name. That's why this name was used instead. Because at that time there were four female students with the same name as Juyeon. He immediately told everyone that Eun Seo instead of Ryo quickly unwrapped the letter. But still keep its shape without any tears. A playful girl folds white paper into a heart shape.

"There will still be a face folded into the shape of a heart."

'Song Soya! ^__^'

As soon as he started reading the letterhead, Song So frowned, turned away from her, and sent a letter like this instead. It was very cute. Seeing his wry smile and chubby handwriting like an elementary school student, Eun Seo's nervous face immediately lit up.

'I'm glad this letter has finally reached your hand. I wrote it on Haeundae Beach. Busan during this time is very beautiful. The weather is not as cold as in Seoul. You must like it. The food is delicious. I'm the first person I think of. No, I'm the only one I think of. It would be good if she were with me... I'll make you fatter than this (just kidding)'

All this time, Eun Seo had always returned to her hometown, Busan. Song So is so hurt that he doesn't know how to feel hurt. Haeundae Beach is a place where we promised to go together.

'I understand if you would be extremely angry at each other. It's a shame. It probably came from me teasing you more than anything. Don't make a face. >__<'

The reader became worried that she did not know what the purpose of this letter was.

'I'm sorry I 'pretended' to ignore you, but you know what? I'm glad I don't have to comfort you when you cry... Seeing you sad makes me sad. Seeing you happy. I'm happy'

"Sungso.. I.. called Juyeon, baby....Juyeon is--" Sungso decided to call Eunseo's mother. The answer he received made his body almost collapse. The phone's screen cracked from being dropped on a hard surface, but that doesn't matter anymore. Song Seo only knew now that she had to reach Busan as quickly as possible.

'The story about seeing me with my boyfriend... He's not my boyfriend. My cousin. Played together since childhood If you would get to know You'll definitely like it. Mother said that if I were a man It's probably like Minhyuk's hyung. I'm sure I'm funnier than him.'

"Will we be able to return yet? It's already evening before we reach Busan."

"Almost there, Minhyuk hyung... And here, you don't have to watch me like this... I don't know how to feel like a prisoner." Eun Seo said in a weary voice, turning to look at Hammer, his close cousin who was standing guard next to him.

“Auntie insisted so much that she suddenly fainted. There's still a face coming to pick up the phone. If you stare at it for too long, you'll get dizzy again. Bring it--" Seeing that his good-natured sister didn't have a chance to stop, Minhyuk snatched his phone and took it with him.

"Really crazy! Then you type it for me and add 'hungry' as a long word."

"What is this? What's your 'ramyun soup'?"

"Just type!"

'Surely Han, are you jealous? I'm so happy, but don't worry. After all, Sung So is already number one in Eun Seo's heart kekeke'

The tip of his nose touching the nape of his neck made Songso feel tingly all over. He wasn't sure how close they must be.

Song Seo was willing to let Eun Seo do what he wanted with only the crescent moon above as a witness.

"I love you, Eun Seo."

Finally, what had been hidden for so long came out. Songso didn't say it in his usual playful accent.

Tonight, what I'm talking about is my true feeling. I'm not friends. Song So Loves Eun Seo Eun Seo tells Song So she loves her back....but that's Eun Seo who always tells her and her friends that she loves her. It wouldn't be good if she thought crazy about herself, especially if they were women too.

'Coming back to answering the question of why do I have to avoid you? I didn't mean to hide, I just moved to a place where I could see your face for a longer time. Oh, the water is dirty again. Let's just say I think about you all the time. I want to go back and see him so bad...my mother complains a lot. Where did Song So go? Asked only about you until I was secretly annoyed.'

"If the surgery is successful, you'll be able to live for a long time, right, doctor?"

"Yes, but... in the case of a brain hemorrhage like this I'm afraid the chance of success is slim."

The mother tried to maintain her composure amid tears streaming down her face. Her daughter, Eun Seo, was in the emergency room and could have lived for several more hours in a vegetative state and would have ended up dead. Even if you have surgery, your chance of survival is low. But that is the last option.

'Hey Song So, in the end, you know what? You are very precious to me.'

“Hyungwon hyung, do you really love Songso?”

"...It's all ruined, hyung.. I love him so much. I know now that you're the bad one." Hyungwon's raspy voice didn't sound good even through his cell phone. But I realized that I probably felt quite bad.

“Promise me. That if Song Seo gives you another chance this time, I will love you--” Eun Seo stood and looked at Song So, who was sleeping soundly on her bed through the sliding door. The early morning air was chilly throughout my body.

"..Love and take good care of him."

'I love you. I love you in every way a person can love.'

"Enough... that's enough." The doctor and a group of nurses in gowns pulled down masks and beads of sweat sprang up all over their foreheads. Some flowed down in streams. After working on missions for more than six hours straight, I was at my best.

Cries and sobs spread throughout the ward.

'My angel Take good care of yourself'

'Son Eun Seo'

Fresh air was inhaled into the lungs. A young woman with light brown hair sat down on a bench and placed a bouquet of white daisies next to her. The gentle breeze from the seashore seemed to comfort Songso. No matter how many times you feel the warmth, it always feels good.

Eun Seo is always beside Song So and never goes away.

"Eunseo... The weather is really as nice as you said."

With love and condolences

To the memories that will never fade.

Son Juyeon
