My sweetest downfall" what happen to you " I asked her as I caress her hand.
" how did you find me? " she asked back and smiled weakly at me. It feels so different seeing her smile that way, the smile that I used to see; the one that’s as bright as the sun became weak and dull.
" could you please answer me fist? " I said.
" it's just a little cold, my relatives just over reacted to it so they sent me here " she said and weakly chuckled.
" don't lie, a simple cold--- " she cut me off.
" let's just think that I have a simple cold... but really, I'm happy that you're here again, that this time you're the one who found me first " she said and once again gave me that weak smile.
" Moonbyul... I know everything " I said.
" everything? " she repeated.
" the accident, our relationship in the past... I already know all of it " I said and tightened my hold on her hand.
" do you remember now? " she asked.
" it doesn't really matter if you remember it or not. What important for me is I am holding your hand. I don't care about the memories that you've lost, we can always do new memories. What is important for me right now is you being beside me " I wanted to cry. I wanted to shout at myself for wasting time and letting her go.
" but how can we do that if you're laying weak on that bed? " I said between my sobs. She weakly reached for my face and gently wiped the tears that's flowing down my cheek, she smiled at me and looked right straight into my eyes. Once again, I'm getting drowned by her eyes.
" don't think about the future, value what's happening today. I'm holding your hand and we're giving warmth to each other " I gently sat on her bed and hugged her. She got so thin, it's like I'm hugging a skeleton, but her familiar warmth and scent are still the same.
It's the same Moonbyul the I met when Eric dumped me, she's the one who introduced me to field of arts once again. She's right that my past memory doesn't matter anymore, what matter most and what I should value now is the moment that's happening today.
" I missed you " I whispered to her ears.
" I miss you more " she whispered back and pulled me closer to her so I decided to lay beside her and just enjoy the warmth that I’ve long for a very long time.
" should I tell you story about the past? " she asked while we're on the middle of talking about certain things.
" I'd happy to hear that " I answered and lifted my head to see her face since I'm laying little low than her.
" back when we're kids you didn't really liked me, you're snobbish and brat that time. You always call me by nicknames like ‘adopted child’, our parents assumed that we're really close since I always follow you around. You're always been a magnet for me,
