"Can we take a break? I'm so tired." I said and I sat on the nearest bench.

"You want ice cream? My treat!" He said and I nodded. He left and bought ice cream.

"What's your favorite flavor? Strawberry or Chocolate?" He asked. I pointed to the chocolate and he gave it to me.

"Priki, you won't leave me right?" I said out of nowhere.

"Why do you ask?"

"Because everyone is always leaving me behind." I said.

"Come on, Lila. I won't leave you. I promise." He raises his right hand.

"Whatever happens, I won't leave your side." He smiles brightly.

I am here in our favorite place

I am here in our favorite place. The park. I am waiting for Priki. He promised that we will play. But hours passed, he didn't come.

Days, weeks, months, years passed... I never saw him again. He left me, all alone. He broke his own promise. He didn't even say goodbye to me.

15 years later.

I am in the park. This was my favorite place when I was a kid. This is a good and bad memory of him. I will never forget that day when he left me.

"Lila! Are you even listening?" Dongpyo asked.

"Sorry. I was preoccupied. I just remember something here."

"Oh, is that your childhood best friend who left you behind?"

"Shh... stop that Dongpyo. You're being talkative again." Junho said.

"Oops... Sorry Noona."

"It's okay." I said.

"Noona, can I ask?" Hyeongjun said.
