No matter what year it is, I still miss you.

[ jinhwi ]

Thinking of the times I spent with you in previous years.

{ 31.12.2023 - No matter what year it is, I still miss you

Me while sitting and looking at the sea view in the middle of the night in this area My eyes only looked at small waves of water whose color was quite blended with the dark sky, but there was still light reflecting from the moon hitting the surface of the water that my eyes were looking at, creating a white light decorating the surface. Its dark color contrasted with the gloomy surroundings.

Aside from the light from the sky, there were only city lights and people walking around where I was sitting, making this place not look so lonely. Even though there aren't many lights and people

Seriously, the view right now isn't so beautiful that I would have to invest in walking out of my dorm to see the sea view around here late at night. But I just want to go out for a walk and exercise my legs and in the meantime, wait for the cool breeze in the city and maybe look up at the stars every now and then. While making amends, I miss someone.

Or will I miss you more than before?

Well, in the end my legs suddenly felt sore. So I decided to abandon the idea of ​​challenging myself to walk all the way to the beach and easily circle around for 2-3 rounds. End of thoughts of challenging yourself to the utmost impossible.

I let go of my weight and sat down, touching the overflowing sand on this beach and staring at the small sea waves for a while. Because my heart right now misses someone so much that my heart can't be with me. My actions were too quick. My hand slipped into the pocket of my jeans and I picked up my phone. I opened the lock screen and pressed my fingers for a moment. Finally, in front of me appeared the LINE profile and call button of the person I wanted to call and talk with the most.

The slender hand was close to touching the call button, but I suddenly remembered.

'No, don't call.'

I sighed heavily at my crazy thoughts. The cool wind that touched my body made me feel even more dull inside. But those eyes only looked down and stared at the screen of his phone silently.

It's only quiet for a moment. The sound of the phone ringing broke the silence. Along with someone's LINE profile screen, it changed to a call screen for me that waited for me to answer the phone for a long time. The person I wanted to talk to called me himself.

The cool wind still keeps blowing against me. But right now I've forgotten all about the cold. Instead, my attention was focused on the phone screen in front of me. I really wanted to pretend to ignore this person's green answer button for a little longer, but my brain ordered my slender fingers to touch the green button for less than 5 seconds. We're really crazy.

"Halloween"

I opened the greeting when I answered the phone. Even just greetings, try to use words that are as short as possible and sound as inviting as possible. It was different from the bright and cheerful greeting like before. It made the person who called me extremely worried.

"Hello, what are you doing?"

"go for a walk"

"Is it this time? Are we lonely?"

"This is nothing."

The deep and at the same time very soft tone of the working man on the line with me was incredibly soothing and warm, even though his voice cracked a bit as usual. But no matter how broken the sound is, I still miss listening to this sound.

Ah, I miss the owner of this voice too.

"Are you? Aren't you really lonely?"

"um"

I chose to reply briefly as was my intention from the beginning of the conversation.

“But Daehwi knows? I'm very lonely."

Come on, come on, you're only one year older than me. What do you think? Using this pronoun with him right now would make me feel lonely. Huh.

"Really"

"Miss us a lot."

"um"

When you think of it, you miss it. No matter what, I will reply to the person on the line in a solemn tone like this. Be patient Daehwi, we have to look calm!! Just 10 seconds and let's make some excuses for those 5 seconds just now!

Count one

"He really misses the little one."

Phlaeng!

It was not the sound of the car window breaking on the side of the road near the beach where I live. It's not the sound of beer glasses dropping as people celebrate New Year's on the sidewalk. It was the sound of my patience and effort keeping my stillness shattered into pieces.

Oh, choose one pronoun for this girlfriend with a small face and long neck! Two hands came up to firmly press against both cheeks, hoping to relieve the blush on his face. Yes, the person in this line is my boyfriend, Bae Jin Young.

"Little one, don't you miss him? He misses you very much.”

"Oh, I miss you. I thought about it until I wanted to go look for it."

"Yay, little one agreed to talk to him."

Oh, I made a mistake. Why did the other party have this much influence on me? When I feel hurt, whether it's really hurt or I pretend to hurt my friends. I will be able to keep this look for much longer than this. It was the mistake of this boyfriend that made my heart no longer able to calm down. In the end, I had to give in and return to Daehwi mode. My real, cute and bright self made my introverted, workaholic boyfriend fall in love with someone around here. So much.

"I think I'll have to let him call you first."

Even though my plan to give a short reply to make the other person confused by my gesture ended up being completely unsuccessful, I will still be disappointed. It's not like I'm going to get over it easily.

"Oh, little one. He called her now."

"You don't have to call me Lek. He thought that she would work for an entire year and let him lie lonely in a quiet room for an entire year."

"I'm sorry. He was really busy before.”

I was taken aback by Jinyoung's guilty tone for a moment. Honestly, I'm not the kind of person who feels hurt much. I know in my heart that something like this will naturally happen in a relationship between two people. Don't you have time for each other? What are some different ideas? This is even more normal for couples. My relationship with Jinyoung for many years only lasted because the two of us built strong love for each other.

"..Actually, he kept complaining. He understood her that she had her own job. Don't think too much about his actions. I just want to tease you hahaha"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment.

"But you secretly have some feelings of resentment, right?"

Ah, if you ask like this, you probably already knew from the beginning. Oh, this lovely father. How can I stay angry for so long, wasting time loving each other?

"Um, a little bit. He's afraid that tonight he won't be able to count down with her haha... No, he's more afraid that he won't be able to talk to her."

I discussed my true feelings with the person on the line. I felt a heat radiate all over my face and spread to my ears. Damn, those kind of words from my mouth to my boyfriend Jinyoung. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed every time. I'm not used to it at all!

"cute"

I'm not sure if the words I heard were the same as Jinyoung's soft whispers on the call, but damn, my face still hasn't stopped coloring, my heart hasn't stopped beating so fast, I'm so embarrassed. It's started again. It's really because of my girlfriend. Wait for me to come back and see you face to face first. I'll beat you until you get a pattern, so wait and see.

"Whatever you want, you don't have to talk sweetly about it. Feel guilty about him! He misses you, huh?"

Every time something like this happens, my mouth always picks up on my boyfriend and my partner. Well, now my girlfriend knows that I'm just trying to find trouble. As for how he's going to deal with it, that's it.

"What is this?"

I didn't reply to him, just smiled. It's true what he said, I tend to be like this all the time.

"Is Maine coming? Hmm?"

"If you don't mind her being his girlfriend, He scolded your father."

When the other party heard this, he laughed in a good mood, inviting someone like me to secretly laugh lightly along with him, until finally the laughter between the two of us died out.

“But you, sir, know that even though you are not a touchy person, if you feel uncomfortable in any way, whether it is a small matter or a big matter. Tell him the truth."

“He wants the two of us to be happy for a long time. You know, right?"

"Uh"

My two hands, which had been holding my cheeks every time my face colored, slowly lowered them down. The irregular heartbeat gradually calmed down, probably because it was slowly replaced by warmth after hearing my boyfriend's words on the phone.

"Still taking a walk? Is this lonely? Be careful."

“It doesn't matter, there are still people walking around. I guess I'll just wait and see the fireworks."

I answered the question of another person who still understood that I was walking around even though I was sitting down on the ground, spreading the sand with my fingers before this boyfriend called again. Hearing another person's harsh voice must have worried me quite a bit.

"Let's talk about her. How's the work? If you're tired, take a break, you workaholic."

“It was much more manageable than last time. Don't worry, he won't drown in the work force for sure."

Hearing this, he burst out laughing. I don't know if I can trust this person 100%, but let's face it, my Jinyoung is damn good.

"Well, that's good. Tomorrow is New Year's, and I can spend it with your family."

"Yes, but let's go back to her first."

"You're on a study tour in Japan, right? Haha."

"You."

"Hmm?"

My eyebrows rose when this quiet, reserved boyfriend (?) suddenly greeted me.

"Previously, he found a picture of the two of us at a relative's house."

"Relatives' house in Japan? That Minhyun hyung is living with?”

"yes"

My face right now was actually confused for a moment as to whether those pictures were really pictures of me and Jinyoung. What are they doing in the picture? So why do we have to stay in Jinyoung's relatives' house? My curiosity didn't last long and he said he would open the video call for me to see.

The call screen with Jinyoung's LINE account has now become a video call system. Jinyoung's screen is now a screen taken from the rear camera, showing a pile of photos in his lap. In total, I looked at about ten pictures, maybe.

“Come today, he will bring you.

recap

The years before we were together, hehe."

"Oh, why are you waiting to see?"

When I realized it, I smiled and laughed a little at this boyfriend again. What's so cute about your boyfriend? Everyone knows that it's normal when Jinyoung and I talk. I tend to be the one who invites him to open up topics. Jinyoung is always interested and listens well to me.

It's been a while since Jinyoung has invited me to talk about cute topics like this before. Want to talk to me? I guess it's not me who wants to talk to the other person to the point where he can't sleep. He probably really wants to talk to me as well.

{ 2012 - Blue Ribbon

"This~~ Who said this is cute? Haha."

"Hey, this picture! Oh, that's his face."

Jinyoung picked up a photo taken from the camera of the seniors from the school photography club where I had been and brought it up to show in front of the camera. Usah had forgotten about this picture. Why did my girlfriend have to dig it out to see my face that didn't survive? I know that my face doesn't survive at all, but my boyfriend, from Mars, knew that he would really like this picture.

Why do you like it so much?

"He remembers! There was another picture where his face was better but Minhyun hyung, her cousin, chose this picture to post for the school sports day.”

"Why? This picture is good. I like it. Haha."

"But he doesn't! Look at his face."

"Cute 5555"

I pretended to watch it and Jinyoung burst out laughing. Or that my girlfriend always likes pictures of me with a gaping face? In any case, it's better to ask the person in order to start a quarrel.

"Why do you like this picture, hmm?"

I asked in a stern tone towards my eldest boyfriend on the call.

"It's the first picture of the two of us."

He could only pause for a moment because in his head he was thinking back to the day when I wore a blue sports shirt and another man who wore the same shirt. It was true that this owner of the thumping sound was a picture that we both knew. First time together And it's also the first picture together.

“Jinyoung hyung is also in blue?”

"...Ah."

"I'm Daehwi, and don't be surprised when I know your name. I heard that Jinyoung, a third-year high school senior, is really good at volleying!"

Daehwi smiled widely as he greeted the volleyball player. There was a person in Mathayom 3 who was sitting alone, different from the other Mathayom 3 and Mathayom 2 seniors who were waiting for a volleyball match next to another color, just like him.

"I was dragged here because I only play volleyball a little, but I'm not good at it. I don't know if I'll be a burden on the team or not."

"It's okay. Just have some volley skills and have fun playing."

"Um, that's true. We hardly have anyone playing volleyball at our school, so let's play this time and have fun. Haha."

"Here, Jinyoung hyung wants you to carry it too, haha."

"um"

Daehwi heard that the good-looking older brother he just met was a bit of a socialite. When he talked to him, he only had a calm face, so he had a deep dark image as his nickname. Probably forced to compete this time as well. Even though Daehwi is a reserve, he is very good at cheering and encouraging the older man nicknamed Deep Dark.

“Yay ​​Jinyoung hyung!! You're really good, especially in the last round, you're like, you're so cool. You're so cool."

"D..D Dae..Hwi P..Por first."

"Uh, I'm sorry."

Now the eldest was being shaken around by the younger, and Jinyoung was showing an extremely happy expression on his face, who was only trying to get air into his lungs because he was tired from the close race just now.

Jinyoung is really good at playing volleyball, but he's not that good at winning. If he gets tired, he won't be sure if he'll win or not. But I don't know why in this round he was all strong and faced skilled competitors, ready to give up on Jinyoung at any time. But hearing Dae Hwi's sweet voice gave him surprising strength to return to Dae Hwi's cheers.

In the later rounds, a substitute named Daehwi who cheered Jinyoung with all his heart on the sidelines also came to compete with him, making him play better than before and be incredibly full. He had never competed in a volleyball match that was so tiring but still smiled. He had never played a volleyball match where he was so sweaty and happy.

"I won."

"Um"

The younger one didn't seem to be overjoyed. His small mouth spoke and he gave the eldest a wide smile, so that a man with the nickname Deep Dark like him had to smile until his eyes were watery in return as well. together

won

Jinyoung's heart has been completely won.

"But we played well and helped you a lot."

"Really?"

"True."

The cheerleaders who came to watch this volleyball match all said in one voice that middle school volleyball, especially the blue and purple ones, was a really fun and exciting competition, but the highlight of the competition. This time it was probably none other than Jinyoung, Grade 3, who looked so happy that many people were almost confused as to whether it was the same person they knew when playing with Daehwi, Grade 2.

"Daehwi, would you like some water? It seems like your voice has disappeared."

"Uh, thank you."

"Oh..oh?"

The little man was confused for a moment when the person in front of him who had handed him a new water bottle suddenly stopped his arm as he was about to take the water bottle.

“My name is Bae Jinyoung. pleased to meet you"

Bae Jinyoung introduced himself formally because he hadn't introduced himself to the younger ones yet, even though they knew his name from somewhere else. He also spread a smile to the person in front of him, a smile that was very rare for a person like Daehwi to see with his own eyes, making Jinyoung's still face completely forget.

“You too, Jinyoung hyung.”

Finishing the elder's introduction, a pair of long arms reached out with water bottles but the little hands couldn't take them away. The older man pretended to stop and turned his arm around for 2-3 rounds. Causing laughter and smiles from both of them for a long time.

"Oh my~ Will you give me some water?!"

“Hey Jinyoung! With us. Turn around and take a photo."

Snap a photo! Snap a photo!

"I miss the time you called him Jinyoung hyung."

"Oh, I want to go back to being brothers."

"Huh?..Huh.. No."

I laughed because I loved the flustered tone of my boyfriend in the call. It seemed to be real too..

"He's teasing. Oh, Jinyoung hyung hahahaha"

{ 2015 - Distinction Perfectly

"Oh, who secretly took this photo?"

"Uncle Minhyun 555"

"Again?"

My girlfriend took the next picture and showed it to me. In this picture, I remember that I was already in high school and the other person was already a 5th grade senior. I would say that the older I get, the more handsome I get. Jin Youngie

"I wonder if you're happy to see that he has a girlfriend too, haha."

“Did you never have a boyfriend before? He used to have it in Kindergarten 3, haha."

"No, this is his otter. He was his first lover and his first love as well."

"What? What otter? Crazy!"

Oh, here we go again, both my hands came up to rest on my cheeks and my mouth was searching for words to find an argument for the person in front of me to relieve my feelings. No matter how often I'm embarrassed, I never get used to it. Even though he knew for a long time that I was his first love Jinyoung probably also wants to know who my first love is. He asked me once, but I'd like to pretend to answer like a banana-stemmed elephant first.

"Otter."

"Yes?"

A sweet voice answered the 5th grade senior who was his girlfriend calling him, but the name he called him was not Daehwi that anyone had ever called him, but a cute animal called "Otter" Jin. Young himself was the first person to call him that.

We've only been together for a few weeks and we're already trying to find a name for my little girlfriend, but the owner of the name Nak doesn't mind anything. He really likes him because the origin of this name is because his girlfriend said he was cute like an otter.

"Why did Otter buy his matching outfit black?"

“Oh, you want to wear pink like him? Oh, or are you going to wear blue or black? It probably absorbs light. They forgot."

"No, he's just asking. Because he likes to wear black clothes, so I want to know, do you know where it came from?"

Jinyoung couldn't help but laugh a little out of affection because he saw the other person go so far as to suggest choosing a different color shirt just because wearing black really absorbs light, just like the other person had said. He was just asking for fun.

"Oh, he actually has a reason."

“One is that you will look good if you wear it. Very handsome!”

"Secondly, black is mysterious, strong, dark-looking, different from the bright, soft, innocent pink, right?"

"Hmmm"

The tall man nodded slightly in response, listening intently to his girlfriend's explanation of the reason for choosing the color of his shirt.

"That's right. No matter how much difference there is in the end, it doesn't mean that everything is impossible."

"Huh?"

It's not that Jinyoung doesn't understand, but he doesn't dare use the word "understanding" to the words of the person in front of him. So I automatically made a confused face at the little person. When Daehwi saw this, he burst out laughing before explaining further.

“This is it, Jinyoung. Do you remember the first day he greeted you? She looks mysterious and will die differently than him, right? But when a pink like him came into your life, the two of us got along better and closer until today, he's dating you!"

When Jinyoung listened to the explanation from the cute person who was smiling widely at him, he couldn't help but smile softly in response while playing with Daehwi's soft hair.

He didn't even think that Daehwi would have such a big reason for comparing him to just choosing the right color of shirts for him and him. As his hand continued to play with the light brown hair of the little man, he understood the meaning of his girlfriend's message.

"The perfect difference"

"You mean that, right?"

"Bingpong, that's correct."

These two couples talked while shopping for clothes together, not forgetting to go out for a walk and buy something to eat until they blinked again and the sky was already a beautiful orange color. Both of their hands were filled with paper bags from a clothing store that looked like they would wear matching clothes forever.

"I'm just here to send him away. Please come back safely."

"When you get home, don't forget to call him!"

"yes"

The black-shirted man still stood and watched the other person return home with concern. His eyes remained silent for a while and he heard the wails of his close cousin, Minhyun, who seemed to be quite pleased with himself that it had been a long time since he had seen him. will come outside This time I was able to leave the house so easily because of the owner of the pink shirt.

Since when has Minhyun been secretly following you?

"I really miss the couple's shirts. Will you take this New Year's break and go and wear matching clothes again?"

"Sure."

"But this time, Minhyun hyung probably won't show up again, right?"

"Maybe, hahaha."

I remember that all the time I went out with my two girlfriends, it was always not just the two of them. There would always be Minhyun hyung showing up. When I saw him, Minhyun hyung said it was a coincidence. It's the same business here, but I can't say anything to him. He's not bothering me. Plus, there are some beautiful pictures from him as well.

{ 2016 - Live with every success you achieve

I was just talking about Minhyun. The third picture was held up in my boyfriend's hand for me to see from the video call screen. This picture could not have been taken by anyone other than a member of the school photography club. But instead of filming the atmosphere of the final ceremony, he filmed Jinyoung and me.

"This picture is cute. It's the last day."

"Ordinary days are cute"

"Huh, don't just praise him. She was cute. I remember her folding paper flowers into a big bouquet for him, haha."

"Do you like it?"

"I like it. They still keep it, haha."

Daehwi swept his eyes and admired the atmosphere at his school graduation ceremony. As expected, the atmosphere at today's final ceremony, combined with the beautiful songs that the council played, made us feel warm like we had seen at previous Mathayom 6 finals events as usual. He never thought that a day like this would come for him.

When the various activities were completed, it was already past 4:00 p.m. Daehwi is a hot person, judging by the countless gifts he received on his last day whether from friends or seniors he knew. Daehwi is both talented and has a good personality and is so cute that he is loved by many people.

And where is his beloved?

'Will Jinyoung come to me?'

I only thought about it in my heart.

More than twenty minutes had passed. There were more than a dozen photos taken at the final ceremony with his friends, enough to be posted on social media with ease.

"What are you comfortable with?"

"Come on, I believe he'll come."

Daehwi ends up collapsing on a wooden table after being jealous that his close friend Jihoon is eating fried chicken that Jihoon's girlfriend bought him as a gift.

"Don't just flop down on the table and hurry up and fold paper flowers for your little otter."

"Oh, I know. I just collapsed because I was exhausted. I'm almost finished."

"And I can only call him Otter."

"Oh."

Minhyun rolled his eyes and looked at his close cousin Jinyoung intently folding colored paper into a bunch of flowers. This bouquet is the most beautiful bouquet, very different from the previous bouquet.

Jinyoung didn't need to see the exquisiteness of the bouquet, just by seeing the expression on Jinyoung's face he knew how much he had intended for his girlfriend. When Minhyun saw the other person hurriedly get up and prepare to go find Daehwi at school, he quickly picked up his favorite camera and followed him holding a balloon.”

"Hey, wait for me!!"

The two legs alternated with each other, taking long steps with the sound of leather shoes hitting the hard floor as quickly as he wanted to see his girlfriend's face after meeting face to face a few times because he was tall and now a first-year student. One is already at university.

"otter"

The sound of the tall figure calling his girlfriend ended when the tall figure who was picking up his best friend's fried chicken and putting it in his mouth fell to the ground because now he had turned his neck to search for the voice. He quickly rushed over and hugged the person calling. His small hand tightened his thin student shirt even more.

For Daehwi, just hugging Bae Jinyoung like this. It was a gift, it was a source of comfort, it was Daehwi's everything.

"You're so late."

The older one didn't reply, instead choosing to hug the other person even tighter before bending down to kiss the head of the person in front of him diligently and turning away to pick up the things next to the wooden table that had been prepared for the otter. he

"Here are the flowers. Congratulations."

"Oh, that's cute."

The little man's eyes widened as his boyfriend handed him a bouquet of red paper flowers, alternating with other colors. His slender hands accepted the bouquet and looked at the paper, which was mostly light red, the same color as his cheeks and cheeks. The ears of the person holding the bouquet were unmistakable.

"Sorry I'm late. I'm busy fixing flowers."

"It's okay."

Daehwi admired this cute bouquet of paper flowers for a long time. A pair of beautiful eyes appeared. Just looking at it, his smile that showed he was impressed with Bae Jinyoung appeared. Don't forget to continue thanking this fan.

"Thank you."

"Hey Jinyoung..hahaha"

Smiling at each other for a long time, they both turned their heads to the sound of someone carrying a lot of things in their arms calling Jinyoung's name against a white backdrop decorated with pink and blue balloons to take a picture of their friend. Grade 6 Looking at it, he probably just ran after him because he was still breathing on his hands and knees.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

"So you ran with a bouquet of flowers and let me carry your things to give to your little otter."

"elder sibling! I can only call you an otter."

"Okay, first of all, you come help me carry it."

Gazing back and forth with laughter at this sweaty cousin. The little man smiled and talked about the tall man's many gifts.

"I don't see the need to give this much. After all, he's at the same university as you."

"He wants it. Last year, she gave it to him a lot."

"Then what is this smile about, Jinyoung's boyfriend?"

"I'm glad I'll be at the same university."

Daehwi heard this and unconsciously smiled softly. The older man saw this and smiled until his eyes closed and looked at his little man for a while, followed by saying something softly.

Even though he came to congratulate his girlfriend late, unlike the cute little fan Daehwi congratulated himself last year faster than any internet company, he was confident with Daehwi that

"He will be in your every success."

Snap a photo! The sound of the shutter of Minhyun's favorite camera sounded as it turned out to be Daehwi's favorite picture as well.

"When you come back, he will bring you flowers. You will believe that he really kept them."

"And who said he doesn't believe me, hmm?"

"I don't know. Hurry and come back. Do you understand?"

"Yes, he misses his favorite flower."

You don't have to think too much to know what the other person's flower means. Eh, who taught you to speak with meaning like this to me..Did Minhyun hyung teach you that?

"Oh, what's with this picture? His face doesn't survive, hahaha."

"Wow, I really miss this camp."

"Let's go another time."

"Uh huh."

"This picture Minhyun hyung took? It's so beautiful."

"Almost all the pictures that weren't Minhyun hyung's selfies were taken by him."

"True, no wonder why the pictures are flocking to your relative's house."

The more people on the screen brought up old photos from back in the day, the more time made the time pass by so quickly, before realizing that the time number on the phone was already 11:00 p.m. or midnight. The 31st will change to the 1st of the next year. This workaholic boyfriend is fun to talk to and helps relieve loneliness a lot more than I thought it would, so I think he chose a good way to reconcile.

"It's cold. When I see the picture, I want to hug you."

"No matter what year it is, he still misses hugging you."

"Do you want to hug him?"

I myself am still sitting and calling with my girlfriend on the beach here, not going anywhere. The cold wind is blowing even more forcefully, causing the hair that is in my bangs to be messy. Why are you confused by the other person's sentence just now?

"Huh.."

"Turn around quickly, Otter."

{ 01.01.2024 - No matter what year it is, I still love you.

The sound of the fireworks rising from the start of the fireworks rose up into the dark sky until it was scattered with beautiful lights of various colors. A familiar face was bowing its head, arms spread wide, waiting for me to hug them. The proportion is higher than mine. The softest, smoothest hair I've ever felt. Now it is shoulder length, unlike previous years. Sharp, beautiful eyes that now reflect my face.

If you're asking why I see it that much, it's because right now I just know that another person who is working in Japan these days is standing right in front of me. I threw myself into the warmth of the tall figure's embrace that I really missed.

"Happy New Year, Otter."

"No matter the year, he still loves you."
