"Sora...?" Jieun nodded her head as I locked the door carefully.

"I saw her at the ground floor and she told me to hand this to you," She gave me an envelope and a brown paper bag.

"A letter...?" I opened the envelope and took out the handwritten letter and read it closely.

"To:

Park Haein, whom I've cherished with much love.

Haein-ah,

If you're reading this letter,

We must be only a few kilometres away.

Evenso,

Our hearts,...

They felt like a thousand miles apart,

It's a shame that we weren't able to make things out like how we used to,

Because of the selfishness I had,

The jealousy and the unforgivable things I've done."

I clenched the letter and trembled as a tiny line of sorrow tears leaked down my face, refreshing my mind with all the memories we went through together, both joy and sadness.

"Haein-ah,

Please don't waste your tears on somebody like me.

Please don't allow yourself to ever remember somebody like me.

Our friendship,

It lasted more than a decade,

How memorable it is to me,

I've wished to find a time turner,

And go back in time where we played under the large tree,

Together with Taehyun at the garden.

Remember those days when we used to hangout?

Just the three of us,

How enjoyable yet amusing,

It was the bestest time."

I closed my eyes to stop the tears from pouring down to my sleeves and sat on the floor, covering my face with my palm.

Sora,...

"Haein-ah,

Apologising will never be enough,

So,...

Please don't ever forgive me.

Don't remember me.

Don't think about me.

Please live happily from now on,

And find someone that will take care of you,

Find someone that loves you sincerely,

Unlike me.

Find someone that will never break your heart,

Unlike me.

If you're reading this,

We must be at least 100 kilometres away now.

It's a blessing to be taken care by you,

For these 14 years in my life.

I want to see your chuckle again,
