Don't let me hold you back.

From here it's still a long way. There is still a dream that you must pursue, must grab.

Don't be stuck with me. From here, it's better not to have me.

And today I came to deliver With tears in my eyes, I walked over.

Let her find a good way. I'll keep watching from here.

Missing You

#MissingYouNeilong

It is said that adulthood is the time when we are most stressed out.

Smile at the little things that are so difficult to happen.

Have to sit and worry about the past or future all the time.

There is only the present that is so short in feeling that it is forgotten.

And the happiness at this age is swallowed up by the daily responsibilities that pass by...

“It's raining again today.” A sigh came out after the red-pink lips left the coffee cup.

“It's so boring.”

Sharp eyes looked aimlessly at the window next to the desk, focusing on leaning back in the black cushioned work chair. The computer screen still had the video editing program open.

The work that he was responsible for today is finished, now he's just sitting and waiting for the time to clock out from work. There's less than an hour left, but with the rain like this, it looks like he'll probably have to return to his room late again.

Actually, it's not a big problem because he often works overtime without OT pay on a regular basis. But on rainy days like this, it makes him feel tired and doesn't want to. Think of anything creative. He hates the rain because the rain that falls often makes people think back to the past that they can't bring back.

Just sitting and looking at it makes me feel sad for no reason.

When it rains...the world often makes us listen to love songs that are more painful than usual.

Every time it rained, his mind projected images of things that his subconscious tried to block and block, telling himself that he had forgotten about it or that it never really happened, but it was similar to rain falling. That had somewhat washed away the pride that was floating in his heart.

If he were to open his heart and accept it like a man, he himself would admit that every time it rains, it makes him miss someone so much that it's like his heart has been eaten by a virus and he can't put it into a new program. It's here again.

Especially things that take up almost all of his memory space. 'Memories of the past', no matter how often you press reset, they still remain in the same place. No advances in technology can distort them. Another sigh sounded as he placed the coffee cup on the table as before.

"I really don't want to count, but..."

“It's been 3,274 days since we've known each other. It's been 2,114 days since you went to Milan and more. 2,113 days that we haven't talked to each other again..." The sound of rain splashing against the window glass blurs everything until you can't see clearly outside. The sky is a greyish blue, not at all pleasant to look at.

“Why are you so cruel? Ong Seongwoo?”

The newcomer's footsteps sounded louder as well as a voice greeting him before he even appeared in the room.

“Why are you sitting around playing the lead in the MV? Don't pack up your things and go back home.” Sensing himself, the amateur hero turned his chair around to receive the compliment.

"You look at the rain. How do you want me to return? Everything is ruined." He looked at both his close brother and the team leader at the same time.

“Then why did you come back to the office again? Jisung hyung said he was done with the customer deal and he was going home.”

“I didn't really want to come back, but I had urgent work to do and I'm sure that you I'll still be in the office."

“Oh, then you pretend to be cursing.” The deep laughter couldn't be suppressed.

“Well, every time it rains, you come and sit and watch the window like a dog, always being left like this, Kang Daniel,” dragging out his voice for a long time.

“Enough.” He raised his hand to stop him.

“I give up, hyung. So what's the matter?” Jisung placed a brown, A4-sized envelope on Daniel's desk.

“Can you help me fix this client's wedding presentation? It's really Jaehwan's job. But he went to take another job on top of that, so he came back to fix it and couldn't get an urgent job. You'll take it the day after tomorrow."

“Is it a difficult job? Why didn't you pass?" Daniel frowned.

“Not really. He wanted to change the song. And what Jae Hwan did was that the theme deviated from the main concept that the customer had initially laid out. He wanted to add a new song and make it match the style of his wedding invitation.”

“Wow, that's a lot of stuff,” he whistled.

“Sungwoon hyung will probably die of headaches like this,” Daniel said of the owner of a shop that organizes weddings and other important ceremonies. Which can be considered an important partner of his company, which is a company that does graphics and presentations, including advertising work to present various products.

Because it's a home office, it's not very big. There are less than ten employees including the team. But because of this, Bang Yong Guk decided to work here. He doesn't like working in a big organization. I didn't want to meet a lot of people. I didn't expect the salary to be so high that my eyes would widen. There's a good boss here. colleague Well, he was so comfortable that he's been doing it for the second year now.

“How can I not make a big deal of it? The groom is the head of a famous designer. I saw that he married a model from his own agency very beautifully, so he will have his wedding in Korea one time and then go get married abroad again..."

The career of 'Designer' seemed to tug at Daniel's heart quite a bit, but he scolded himself in his heart and said later that the world couldn't possibly be that much of a coincidence.

“Anyway, please accept this job. It's a good payment. I won't deduct anything. I'll fix it all for you. I'll go first. My wife and children are waiting for dinner. You yourself hurry back and the rain has started to stop.”

"Oh, I know. See you later. Please say hello to Ayumi and Sungyeol.” His boss Married to a Japanese woman who is ten years younger than myself and my son is just two years old.

When the room was once again submerged in silence. Daniel stared at the brown envelope. Click your tongue back and forth to get rid of the senseless fear from within.

“Looks like you've gone crazy…” His voice trailed off as he reached for a wedding invitation card envelope and pulled it out to reveal the names of the newlyweds.

We are pleased to invite you to Ong Seong Wu and Choi Min Young's wedding ceremony.

The roar of thunder outside made the windows shake. But it didn't startle Daniel at all. His trembling palms looked down at the same card over and over, hoping that if he blinked one more time the name written on it would change. But this is not an arbitrary novel, nor is it a romantic fantasy. It's just the rotten life of a stupid man with the same old promises.

The company's talented graphic artist placed the second cup of coffee of the evening on the table in front of the long sofa, a favorite corner of many in the company. He didn't realize that from the moment his boss walked out of the room until It's already past 10 p.m. and he's been sitting here staring at the same card for so many hours. The rain has started to fall heavily again, causing a headache on one side of his head. And he was in no mood to travel at the moment.

One hand held the card that was given and the other hand opened the file from the accompanying work drive. A deep voice within his heart screamed loudly, wishing that the groom was not the person who had been stuck in his heart for all these years. ...but the rain must have never been kind to him...

A slender face, big, sparkling eyes. His nose was high and stubborn, and his mouth was big, making his whole face look bigger and bigger. With just a glance, he knew that the person in the picture had a face that was considered to be good, even excellent, and that wide smile... that held him captive. Returning to the past for thousands of days It's like the body is completely exhausted.

Daniel stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips. Slowly he got up and went to the refrigerator and took out several cans of beer. He sat back down and drank a little at a time. He normally didn't like to drink while working because he was afraid that being careless would ruin his work.

But now almost all the beer that had been stored in the container had been transported down his throat. The image of the light outside the window was less blurry than the heartless face he was trying to stare at right now. One hand pressed play on the presentation video that he had been assigned to edit. The animation that went by each second was like a hammer hitting Yongguk's head the number of times, feeling dizzy. In his mind, many questions arose.

Where have you been? How is your life?

Is it more happiness or suffering?

All the time we haven't seen each other, what have you encountered? Is it good?

Without me...it's better, right?

So why...did you get married today without telling me a word? Or have you really found the answer to the last sentence that we left together?

..eight years ago..

Who knew that taking the university entrance exam in the capital, Seoul, would lead Daniel's life to meet someone who would remain in his memory for a long time?

A famous arts university like Hongik University had many dormitories around it, and a country kid like Daniel thought that finding a roommate would save a lot on monthly room fees. He picked out one of the many certificates that were everywhere. Standing and calling in front of the board, but not a single person picked up. I don't know why they didn't pick up the phone or even if they did, they would get an answer like they've now found a mate or have changed their mind and want to be alone.

"Wow, why is it so difficult to find a roommate?" said a prospective new student, age 10. The eight year old sighed heavily to himself. At that moment, a hand suddenly reached out and poked his shoulder.

“Are you here looking for a roommate?”

When he turned towards the voice, he saw a man with wide eyes that was a bit unusual for Koreans. His wide smile showing his teeth made him look harmless. After being a little stunned, he nodded, "Yes."

"Very good. I'm looking for one too. I've been looking through many boards and haven't found anyone yet. My name is Ong Seongwoo, studying fashion design. What about you?" He extended his hand in front of him.

"Kang Daniel studies computer communications"

"Hey, we're in the same faculty, just different branches. Well, are you interested in staying with me? I'm too lazy to walk around and you know, today I'm dragging my legs..." and many other things poured out from The pink lips were very different from his dark color. He furrowed his brows a bit because he didn't expect the other party to have the courage to talk so intimately with someone they'd just talked to for the first time.

While standing and listening to the other person speak, the rain suddenly started falling down. It turned out that he was stuck in a building and fell down a ladder and suddenly got his roommate. In my heart at that time I prayed that my life of being in the same room with a strange person like this wouldn't be so strange that I couldn't bear it. Because, like finding a roommate to live with is really difficult.

“Hey, Daniel…” Seongwoo snapped his fingers in front of the person who looked absent-minded or whose voice might have been drowned out by the sound of the rain.

“Huh..Dan Yell? Me?” His brows furrowed even harder than before.

“I called the full-dress master's name several times. So I tried calling Daniel and he answered..." He finished with a wide smile. Which was a smile so bright that Daniel didn't even bother to take the matter further. Just thinking...why does this person have such a determined smile and eyes?

On that day, he really had no idea that the seriousness of the person in front of him would become the biggest wound in his life.

“I'm back, Danyel...” The sound of the door opening brought in people carrying many bags. before throwing it into a mess flick your shoes towards Clothes went the way and immediately jumped onto the bed.

“I'm going crazy, I'm so tired of the project.”

“When you come back, you should take a shower, my friend. Your sweat will be all over my bed.” Sungwoo immediately turned over and lay on his back.

“This is the third year you've been my roommate. So that means you should get used to my messiness.” The white man smiled wryly.

“I pretended to be the reason for this.” He slapped the bed loudly. "Let's sleep together as friends."

“I haven't finished editing the program yet. It will be sent tomorrow.” Daniel shook his head. Nodding to the still open laptop screen.

“When I beg you, you like to play tricks,” Seongwoo grumbled.

“When I disappear, I don't return to my room. Many days I pretend to be...” Smiling immediately when the bed next to me shrank, replaced by the body of my roommate...another special status that only the two of them knew about. It is a profound feeling that does not require a definition to draw a line.

“What do you want?” Yongguk had to be on the losing side again until he raised his hand to caress the flowing hair of the person in front of him.

"No, just work is tiring and I just want to lie down and stare at your face." Smiling, Daniel couldn't help but move his hand to poke the tip of his high nose.

“Didn't you do something wrong, you stubborn one?”

“I happen to be so handsome. It's normal to be hot sometimes. I know how beautiful the girls in my region are...and..."

“This is my time. Just talk about us.” Daniel pretended to sound fierce but still finished. Smile anyway.

It's been almost three years now, and he's gotten used to the other party's non-stop talking behavior. We started getting to know each other through a strange event on a rainy day, like a cloudy sky blowing another person standing in front of him.

But that's it. Every bond, good relationship, fighting, hitting each other, it brings us to the middle between friends and something more than that. It's all a matter of feeling. I can't find any words to describe it.

They are not lovers, they are not sexual partners, they are not in physical relationship with each other. We are both still men who are sexually aroused to women in their own way. Just the feeling of being together is undeniable and makes the heart feel really good.

“You can talk about us.” Sunwoo still didn't let the smile off his face.

“One more year and we'll all graduate. Just for a moment, don't you think?”

"That's right. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that we moved into this dorm together." Daniel sprawled out. Looking at the ceiling of the room

“What do you plan to do after graduation?” Song Wu tilted his head to look.

“Probably a programmer who designs and maintains websites,” Daniel shrugged like someone without a clear plan.

“So you're a clothing designer, right? You're so crazy about fashion.”

“Of course,” he finished with a sigh.

"But you know the competition is high. I..."

“You will do well, you are very good. I believe in you.” Daniel Qing cut off his words.

“I think if you decide to do anything, You probably won't give up that easily.” He reached out and put his hand on the back of his neck for the other person to rest on a pillow.

“Don't worry too much about the future. Let's do it well now.”

“Once you graduate, you really have to wave goodbye to childhood, don't you think? This world of adults...no matter how many times I think about it, I still find it really scary.” Sungwoo moved to sleep more comfortably.

“You still have things you really want to do, Seongwoo. I'm allowed to do whatever I want. I don't have anything. I really want to fight for it... You're still better than me.” Daniel tried to comfort the other party.

“How can you not have it?” Sunwoo shifted and turned on his side, staring at the other person's face.

“We all have to have one. what a dream Hope is what makes you want to stand up and fight in order to protect it and to take good care of it and devote all your strength to it. You must have one too.” Daniel looked thoughtful before nodding.

“Actually there is.”

“Really?” cried an excited voice. “What…”

“What are you...Ong Seongwoo?”

“I think we should talk a bit, Sungwoo,” Daniel said suddenly, his voice tense after seeing the face of the person he hadn't seen for the past week.

“You are working too hard. Even though I don't have time to go back home like this.”

“You know I've only been working here for less than two months. Everything is very new to me. There are still a lot of things I have to learn.” Seongwoo let out a deep sigh.

“Your starting time is 9:00, and you leave at 6:00, but you start from coming home at two random times, spreading to 9:00, 10:00, until you never return at all. What do you think?” Daniel tried to suppress his displeasure. Set it aside and speak with as much composure as possible.

“I just sleep at the office. There is a zone where employees can rest.”

“But I'm sure he didn't build it for employees like you to live in instead of living there.” The young programmer's voice became more and more intense.

“How far is my workplace? By the time I got back here, I was so tired as hell. The building where you work is only a fifteen-minute walk away. You don't have to sit and stand in transit until you almost faint like I did four or five times a day. Round-trip hours.”

“Do you want to change accommodations? You can move it so it's right next to your workplace. I'll be the one to travel for five or six hours. I will find more time for you than you have for me right now.” Daniel said without shouting at all, but it was smooth and cut into the hearts of those listening quite a bit.

“So, have you ever asked me if I need more time from you?” Sungwoo replied in a quieter tone.

And of course...in every relationship, the person who feels more will always lose.

“You left me speechless, Sungwoo.”

They had graduated a while ago and rented a condo together. He was an employee at a company, taking care of the website along with the rest of the team, while Sungwoo joined a well-known modeling agency. They have been working together since their third year as an intern. It can be said that things are going very well. Even though they have just started working, their skills are pleasing to many people.

But because of the glory in their work, it brought about the collapse of their relationship, claiming that they were tired. No time and a lot of work were used again and again by Song Wu. Meanwhile, Yongguk could only nod and say he understood. Until now, when patience is cracked and all the words "It's okay" in the past have been crushed together until it's finally very okay.

“I'm going to Milan,” Sungwoo admitted as the room fell into silence, but there was no teasing in his tone or eyes.

“When?” Daniel sat silently for a long time before finally speaking.

"recently"

"And the documents..."

“I started preparing it two weeks ago.” Seongwoo pointed at the hidden suitcase. In one corner of the room Daniel looked at the fingertip before asking.

“And when do you plan to tell me if we don't fight today?”

“Before leaving for a few days.” Being honest with himself and others, Sungwoo chose to answer honestly.

“If I ask you not to go, I wish you would stay with me…” Daniel locked his eyes with one last hope.

“Will you do it for me?”

Seongwoo pursed his lips. It's like the silence at that moment is the deciding factor in the relationship. This time it's gone.

“I will go. It is my dream, my life,” Songwoo said slowly.

“You know that I As much as I wanted to be a designer, you would think that I would never progress anywhere here. So I have to go…”

“...I'll help you pack your bags...” Daniel interrupted Seongwoo's words, he got the answer he wanted since the other party said he was leaving. The rest from now on, no matter what reasons are added to make it believable. It had no effect on him anymore.

People will go...they will probably go in the end.

Because he probably doesn't have the wisdom to give a good life like the other party has always dreamed of.

As one grows up, each person's path becomes clearer. He hates growing up. Because I know that today will eventually come.

“I'll go first,” Sungwoo said, walking up to the gate and staring at Daniel standing in front of him. The person who was being bid farewell didn't answer, but just memorized the face of the person in front of him. The eyes were big and the nose was cocked like a person who believed in himself. Those lips that have said so many things to him over the years After the next few minutes there would be no more.

“Take care of yourself.” One of the worst goodbye phrases was chosen by Sungwoo.

“Live your life well”

"Come on...it's your time now," Daniel said simply. Seongwoo listened to the final announcement. The rest of the team had already started entering the gate. A new young designer walked up to Daniel and hugged him tightly.

“If and when I can make my dream come true and our feelings haven't changed at that time, we can talk again when we're both more mature.”

Daniel didn't say anything and raised both his arms to hug Songwoo tightly, as if begging the other person once again not to leave him.

"But you don't have to wait for me. Live your life well. I want you to be happy. I'm sorry I was selfish today. If you meet someone good, please know that I will be happy for you." Every path you take.” Seongwoo pulled away and turned to walk into the gate, but heard Daniel's voice first.

“Ong Seongwoo...I love you.”

And the final smile that Sungwoo returned with that sentence was like the first day we really met. The first smile I saw on the roommate announcement board. From that day until now many years have passed and everything has happened from a teenager to adulthood and another new step in his adult life has taken place.

Daniel sat and thought about things along the way. Then he returned to his own condo at almost midnight until his head ached. I can hardly think of anything. The rain continued to fall lightly. It is expected that it will not stop completely today.

Laying down on the soft bed, spreading out the whole outfit that you wore for work like that. The smell of alcohol pervaded everywhere. room, but he didn't care to keep it clean at all The images that flashed in his pupils now consisted only of the faces of people who had disappeared for many years and who had resurfaced as his own customer list. Plus you're about to get married, how can you not let him feel anything?

It felt like the things he had been trying to forget all these years were coming back to hurt him right now.

That day...the day we had to end each other. I still remember every scene, Sungwoo.

Daniel took a deep breath. The ceiling of his bedroom was so stared at, it was almost worn out. Away from his laptop, which still had an edited video open, Daniel could feel wetness around his eyes.

“Why...Sungwoo...” He was delirious because of the alcohol.

“Why is it that I'm the only one waiting for you?” A hand held the wedding invitation card tightly. Staring at the groom's name through tears

"I'm such a fool. Damn it. You already told me you didn't have to wait. What the fuck was I going to do?" I sniffled several times but the tears I had been trying to hold back for so long couldn't stop flowing.

“It hurts, it really hurts. Why did you hurt me this much?” The young employee pressed the wedding card against his left chest.

“I love you, Sungwoo. I still love you the same way. I still love you every day.”

Kang Daniel felt like he was really stupid. On holidays, he should sleep stupidly in the condo he's been renting since he graduated. Not standing in front of a white church standing tall in front of us like this.

The sound of bells and music in the garden made everything pleasant to this auspicious occasion even more so when standing on the grass. The closer he got to the ceremony, the more he felt like he was an uninvited outsider.

In the pocket of a suit that was rented for a moderate price The quality was worth the price. There was already a wedding invitation card that was not intended to be sent to him, and an original card that he had edited together with a video presenting the couple's love.

The groom who had settled in his current memories until now Every step he took felt like he was standing on his own heart. Right now, there was probably a ceremony going on inside. He didn't mean to interrupt the work, not anything like that. He already knew that Seongwoo wouldn't choose him.

Seongwoo never chose him first.

Daniel looked around the work area that was well arranged, both cute and elegant at the same time. The gold and pink colors go so well with the sound of classical music. Anyone who sees it must know how expensive a job like this is. It's something I can never give to you, Sungwoo.

Don't let me hold you back.

From here, there's still a long way to go. There's still a dream that you have to pursue.

Don't get stuck with me from here.

It would be better without me and today I walked to deliver. With tears in my eyes, I walked over.

Let her find a good way, I'll keep watching from here.

The doors of the church opened to the applause of many people who slowly walked out, making way for the new couple. Daniel stared at the far end until he saw the other person.

Seongwoo wore an expensive white suit and a beautiful bride who was tall enough to be a model. Their wedding dresses were perfectly matched and their smiles radiated. Daniel was speechless as well. Now it was time for the party and the bride and groom walked around chatting and taking photos with the guests at the event. They looked like they were co-workers more than likely. It is an internal work that is not very big.

And he was standing here, uninvited, as a projector screen was showing a video that he had edited himself, with images of a newlywed couple's love, told through text and songs. Kob didn't need to be told that he sat there doing it with tears in his eyes.

I don't know how many minutes had passed and he was still standing here, watching as Songwoo laughed and embraced the young woman. Some kissed their noses, some kissed their lips. He really should have turned his head away from this pain, but he was still able to stand.

Classical songs stop playing and the violin plays only. This type of string instrument chooses love songs that make you feel both happy and sad at the same time. To indicate that no relationship will always be smooth. Because love must always have obstacles along with it.

...We all know, we know that this person doesn't have enough.

To make you happy like that, you should find a good way. Tomorrow you will have to meet someone better.

I just wish you well on your way to achieving what you have always dreamed of.

This person doesn't have enough to take her there, so I'll let it go.

It's okay, don't worry...

Daniel almost forgot how to breathe in and out the second Seongwoo turned to meet his eyes. Although he frowned slightly, his eyes widened after a while and he walked away from the bride's side, coming towards him where he was standing. In a corner of the work

“Daniel....” It seemed like it had been a long time since I had heard this voice call his name, only a stupid smile and blunt words in response.

"how...."

“Ah..” Sunwoo scratched the back of his neck to correct his embarrassment.

“How did you get here? We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Sorry, I came uninvited. I just saw your wedding card." Daniel patted his pocket. “My company made your wedding video.”

“Oh, the world is really round.” Song Wu shook his head slightly.

“But thank you for coming,” he said.

“Shall we sit and talk over there for a bit?” He led the way to an area within the maze that was part of the garden.

“How have you been lately?” Daniel asked after sitting on the long bench next to each other.

“Life is going very well.”

Songwoo looked up at the sky. “I have become team leader. It took me five years to do it.” He smiled proudly at himself, “And you, where have you been in life?”

“Same old,” Daniel replied simply.

“What is the same?”

“Everything,” Daniel repeated. “For me, everything has never changed.” The groom nodded as if he understood.

“You're still the boss.” He reached out and patted his shoulder gently.

“The past is not worth holding on to.”

“You were never the past for me.”

“Then you look at me now,” Seongwoo admonished. “I still have something in common with you. Did you know him from before?” It was a question that Yongguk knew the answer to.

Good life, career advancement A society around you that has classy, ​​neatly tailored clothes and... people who love each other. He didn't match anything the other person had at all.

He was close to entering his third year and was still just an employee of a small company. With a salary that was enough to pay the rent on the condo, there was hardly any left to spend lavishly on other things. He refused to rent somewhere else that was cheaper. Still hoping that one day the other person will come back. Daniel sighed heavily, leaning back on the bench.

“I really hate growing up.” He just smiled.

“Because the more you grow The more we know that the path we want to choose to walk on...is different.”

The young designer reached out and placed his hand on the back of Daniel's hand. “Growing up is about tasting different flavors of life.” Gently pat the back of your hand below. “It depends on us. How do you deal with the story during that time?”

Daniel turned his palm over and inserted his fingertips into Seongwoo's hand, capturing the warmth from their bodies as they shared. A strong pulse that beats in the wrist. Two pairs of eyes met not far away.

“I'm glad you were able to achieve your dream. Congratulations.” Sungwoo was slightly silent. before nodding in acceptance

“Thank you.”

An uncomfortable silence spread between them again. The palms that were still held together became damp with sweat. Daniel knew he could let go of this hand, but in his heart he didn't want to do it at all. This might be his last chance to keep the other person by his side, even if just for a moment.

“Do you think so, Sungwoo? I can abandon everything for you, and you can abandon everything for work, even if it means abandoning me.”

“Daniel...”

“But even if you choose like this Even if you leave me for a better future Even though you told me that there was no need to wait for you, even today you chose to start another step in your life with someone else.” Daniel squeezed the other man's hand tightly.

“I still love you, Sungwoo still falls in love with your smile like a fool who won't move forward.” It was really difficult to get each word out.

“I love you, even until now my feelings are still the same. It hasn't changed.”

“You really are stupid,” Song Wu sullenly said.

“Didn't I tell you not to wait?” Reaching up a hand, he gently caressed Daniel's cheek.

Daniel felt a sharp headache coming on and everything in front of him became blurry little by little. Song Wu's face became unclear. However, he still squeezed the other's hand tightly and refused to let go. Feel the water droplets falling on the skin little by little. The rain slowly soaked the ground in this garden until it felt cold.

Daniel tried to focus his eyes on Seongwoo's face. The sound that came from the other's lips was as soft as a whisper as she brought her face closer and closer to his.

“If you still feel the same this time, don't let me leave so easily…”

Daniel frowned before his eyes widened as Seongwoo's lips rested on his. Those big, focused eyes made his heart flutter, alternating with heavy flutters.

Gentle and soft touch With the sound of the rain falling harder and harder, he reached out both hands in front of his face, hoping to embrace the other person. But everything disappeared before my eyes, including the sound of the violin.

...heavily!!!!...

“Sungwoo!!” Daniel was startled and stood up straight, yelling loudly. I looked left and right without understanding. A headache immediately hit Jisung, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, immediately reaching out to kick him.

“Are you awake? I thought Lai died.” He shook his head.

“What the hell? Bring beer to eat until the refrigerator is empty. What's the matter? You collapsed on the sofa at home and if you don't return to work, I still won't do it for you, you bastard."

“Huh...what?” Daniel raised both hands to his temples. Squinting, he looked around and found himself still sitting on the company's long sofa, just like last night. Surrounding him were only beer cans. Opened it, ate it all, then piled all the wedding cards on the table along with the laptop. His battery was nearly dead.

“What the fuck is wrong with you? Was it a bad dream?” Jisung asked, repeating the dream...Does this all mean he dreamed it? A slender palm immediately picked up the wedding card and read the names one more time. Before getting upset because the name written on it was still “Ong Seong Wu” as before.

“Have you read the note attached to the envelope yet? Damn Jae Hwan wrote the wrong name of the groom's customer. This is the big reason that he gave to solve.”

“Wrote the wrong name.” Daniel was startled over and over. “What's wrong with you?!”

“Then why are you yelling at me, you bastard?” Jisung felt like he wanted to send him for a mental examination.

“Well, his name is written as Ong Seong Wu. Even though he believed that Gong Sung Wu's words in the presentation were correct. But on the card I made a mistake. You can open it and look at the work. You can still be drunk like a dog.”

No need for the other party to repeat himself, Daniel hurriedly opened the work file that he hadn't even actually opened yet, causing his dreams to become completely blurred. The picture that played out was of a newlywed couple that neither of them knew at all.

“Why did the dream last so long and be so realistic?”

“Are you still going to sit around and play the music video? Look and see if it's noon and if I don't splash water on you, how much merit will you get and then get up and go to work?” Jisung cursed again before throwing a brown A5-sized envelope directly at Daniel's head.

“At ten o'clock this guy sent it to me. Open it and see what he wrote. It's very urgent.”

“Mine?” Daniel asked in surprise. “Who sent what?”

“You just read the front of the envelope. When you're finished, hurry up and fix the work for me." Daniel turned the other side over to read the sender's name before his hand trembled. "Ong Seongwoo." He pinched himself several times until he was sure that this was definitely not a dream within a dream. Any other

His eyes glanced outside the window where it had rained so heavily last night that he couldn't see anything, but now the sky was shining brightly with sunlight, as if to say that the terrible storm had passed. Daniel carefully opened the envelope with his heart pounding. I don't know what else I will encounter.

"Invitation to attend the event

Seoul Fashion Week 

From the brand clothing room

S.WOO” 

Daniel read the date and time and found that the event would be held next week. It means that Sungwoo is already in Korea now, or maybe he has been here for a long time. Daniel turned the invitation over and saw a familiar handwritten message that he remembered. What was written on it made Daniel both smile and cry almost at the same time.

“Sorry for making you wait this long, I have already made my dream come true. If you remember what I said and you haven't changed, Come find me at this event. I still feel good about you as always. I love you as always. I'll wait, Daniel.."

Daniel now knows as an adult that the wait was worth it.

Comes Rain, ComesShine

Because life has both dark, rainy days and bright days like sunshine.

It is about growing and learning with each passing day, strengthened with love.
