It was not her dream to become a singer. As a kid she never wants to be noticed. There are times when she even wished she never existed at all. But that was back then, when she still hasn’t met him.

The broken and uneven road was still the same. Walking with her high heels was a lot even harder than when she used to walk here barefooted. Like a ghost she saw her young self running with hair splattered all over the face. But then that young girl disappeared behind a tall post. If only that large garbage can was still there she’ll know where she might be. But that place was empty now. So she wondered where she has gone to.

If not because of that accident which causes the traffic she will not have a reason to be out here. She’s here again after almost seven years.

“What if your fans saw you?”

“But there’s no one here oppa”

What she said was true. She looked around and saw only the old brick walls. Dirty and faded colors of paint decorated it. But it never escaped her eyes as she saw some posters of her. Some are torn and some are vandalized. But still she was there. The singer IU… She’s here as an ornament and not some garbage everyone has stepped on.

She has changed a lot. But still, she yearns for time machines to be invented even though it’s for a v
