I, Nahyun
With Love, Your Dead BoyfriendI wasn't sure how to start this, but my life was a mess. My boyfriend was dead two months ago, it was confirmed when I went to the park to see his body lying on the ground. It broke my heart how he suddenly left me that I was absent from school for a week, tell me I was exaggerating but that was it. I was broken and lonely without him. It felt like he was gone for a holiday, but reality hit me when I realize he was really really dead. There was no use of praying for him to come back or anything, because he was dead.

He called with a widening smile drawn across his lips. "What are you doing here?"
"Recalling memories," I said with a deep sigh while covering my eyes because I could feel my tears were already near the corner of my eyes.
"You know," he started while holding her close to him, a convinced smile was replacing his precious smile. "We should move on, I'm pretty sure he wants us to move on and be happy too. Don't overthink about it and let's go to the cafeteria with me. What do you think, missy?"
He's right. I wasn't supposed to be sad like this because Mark wouldn't even be happy if he saw me crying all day. I then nodded absently and looked down to my toes, not wanting to talk anymore because all I want to do is scream everytime I tried to talk. Jackson then led me to the cafeteria while still holding me close to him... he was always a gentleman. In the cafeteria, students were roaming around and some were chatting while having their lu
