The moment I’ve always dreamed about breaks down

And after everyone I believed

Would stay by me, leaves

I’m left alone

You, who came to me,

Who was full of loneliness and hurt?

                One tragic story after another. I feel like I’m living in the most cliché drama there is. Unreal, but it’s happening. Yes, it’s rich people drama. I was unfortunate to be born to an affluent family who thinks that small things don’t matter. And dreams are just that, dreams. I was relieved that I was able to get away from it all. But getting away wasn’t enough. I’m tied to them still, it seems.

                “Lee Soo Jung, someone’s looking for you outside…”

                “Nae…”

                I observe you walk towards the office door with an uncertain look on your face. The usual happy person that greets everyone with a shy smile seems to have gone on a vacation and was replaced by someone so lost in her thoughts she barely exist.

                You came back a few minutes later, white envelope in hand and a blank look on your face. You went directly towards the editor-in-chief’s office. I wonder what you two talked about, it doesn’t seem to be good news because you came out of his office with a gloomier face before you started packing up your things and leaving without saying goodbye.

                “That one’s a good writer… Too bad, her personal life’s too complicated…” My editor-in-chief says with a sigh.

                “Did you fire her?” I can’t hide the panic in my voice.

                “Of course not. I’m not letting that one go if I had a choice…” She went back to her office, closing the door quietly.

                In 60 seconds, you came into my heart, brought out another me and made me realize I need you.
