It was 12 years ago…
“Hiks…”
“Don’t cry, __-ah. You know I won’t be moving too far from here. It’s just Daegu. You can just come visit me whenever you want, right?” He caressed my hair softly.
“But oppa, what if I am hungry in the middle of the night and I really want ramyun?” You were crying hard that day… crying for a very kind oppa that you’d never had since you’re the only child in your family… the only oppa-like neighbor that always defends you from that bad girls at your class just because you have a new nice dress, the only oppa-like neighbor that always buys you a cup of ramyun or snack whenever you were hungry, the only oppa-like friend that you think you will never have..
And now he’s about to move to Daegu.
And now he’s about to leave you alone.
And now, even though you were only 6, you think you will be the loneliest person in this world.
And the worst is,
you have never liked that idea.

“Hey ___-ah! Guess what?” MinAh, my best friend suddenly appeared before me while I was doing my math homework. Oh why I never can get rid of these ridiculous questions?! I mean, how can algorithms or trigonometry will be used for work in the future? Geez.
“What?” I answered coolly and uninterestedly because I was still doing the same question from one hour ago.
“Ya! Don’t you want this?” She took out a piece of paper and showed it off to me. Oh my don’t tell me… “Oh my gosh! MinAh-ya! Where did you get this?? I’ve been looking for this!!!” my eyes were as big as tomato and in disbelief. MinAh got a ticket to go to a music program broadcast this Friday! Go to a music program this Friday means I’ve got a chance to see my Baekkie!
I will always find you wherever you are. Even though through my camera lenses…
I’ve been fangirling over this cutie pie, Baekhyun since the day his group, EXO, debuted. His smile is as adorable as an angel and his voice might not come from the earth.
“And one thing, ___-ah, you also got this!” She took out a name tag from her pocket and ‘backstage pass’ was written clearly there. I cannot contain my feeling and hugged her directly while jumping here and there. “MinAh-yaaa!! I love you I love you I love you!!!!” I shouted. Oh, I don’t care if my classmates were looking at us like we are weirdo. We do are weirdo and we do proud of it.
“Yeah you love me. But you surely love your ‘oppa’ more tsk,” she teased. I got myself frowning directly.
“Hey, MinAh-ya. Why did you bring over this problem again? hehe. I’ve forgot about him. He’s just a part of my childhood.” I smiled bitterly. Yeah, he’s just a part of my past I should have forgotten long time ago.
MinAh found herself suddenly felt guilty. You know she doesn’t mean to open up your old scar. It’s just… so painful for you. “Hey, __-ah, listen, I am sorry by bringing this up to you. But you know you shouldn’t be stacked in your past forever, right?” I only answered by forcing a smile. “How about we go to look for ddeokbokki or maybe jajangmyun after school? It’s been a long time, right?” She cheered me up. How I adore her for this.
“Pretty! Guess who am I?” MinAh got her eyes covered by big familiar palms.
“Taemin oppa! Stop it, you know I can recognize you by your smell.” MinAh uncovered her eyes and got herself facing Taemin oppa, her boyfriend. “Hihi you know I smell amazing.” He kissed her cheeks then hugged her.
