The past is immutable, unchangeable, unalterable, and indelible; it can only be embraced. Time waits for no one, except for death. Years slip away unnoticed. All we can do is strive to fulfill the promises of our lives and not fade into oblivion in the pursuit. Despite the harsh reality that occasionally resurfaces, we must come to terms with the fact that some things will never return to their former state. Life continues its relentless march forward.
Haein was well-acquainted with the perpetual ache of his heart. He had grown accustomed to the constant dissolution and sorrow that had plagued him for what felt like an eternity. It was a melancholy and agonizing experience that anyone who had endured heartbreak could understand.
In the past, he had been shattered and devastated by her sudden memory loss. All their cherished and joyful moments together had disappeared in an instant. It was during this time that he discovered his own resilience and strength, realizing that losing Jisoo felt like losing a piece of himself.
Loving Jisoo was akin to holding a candle. At first, it illuminated his world, making everything seem bright, pure, and full of joy. But as time passed, the flame began to melt, causing pain as obstacles arose, straining their relationship. Eventually, the flame extinguished, plunging everything into darkness, leaving only the remnants of the burn. This was when she had forgotten him.
The pain of loving someone without receiving love in return is excruciating. It is painful to remember someone who does not remember you in return. It is heartbreaking to dream of a life with someone who does not dream of you. But the most agonizing pain of all is to hold someone in your heart who you cannot hold in your arms.
Now, everything had changed once more, but this time for the worse, and he felt like his fragile heart was nearing its breaking point. He believed he was on the verge of losing not only himself but his entire life. Despite feeling all this turmoil, no one could truly understand the depth of his suffering. Except for his brother and Jinu. They had been keenly attuned to his struggles ever since Jisoo's accident. Without exchanging a single word, they knew what he was going through because his eyes revealed the loss of the light that once shone within them.
Beneath the somber gray skies, the roads shimmered with the relentless raindrops. Sunlight struggled to pierce through the downpour, casting a dance of shadows and reflections on the towering skyscrapers outside his window. With a weary gaze, he sought solace and purpose in his existence amid the dreary weather. Stationary in his office, hands buried in his pockets, he exuded an aura of weariness and deep contemplation.
"With you gone, my heart is adrift. I feel lost, unable to navigate this life without you by my side," he reflected, his eyes tracing the path of the drifting clouds towards the east. A wave of emotion tightened his throat and muscles as memories of the past flooded his mind. Their love had been both a blessing and a curse, a complex mix of joy and pain. Lost in his thoughts, Haein was startled back to reality by a sudden tap on his back, causing him to flinch and swiftly turn around.
