Starry Universe
Description
When she looks up at the night sky of Seoul, and spots the tiny stars floating above, she suddenly remembers her high school days back in Daegu where she had left all the memories of the guy she used to call her stargazing partner behind. After a long while of ignoring the past and the what-ifs, she begins recalling every detail, every conversation and every moment of her teenage self who had experienced the very fine line between friendship and love - something she might have learned to embrace.
We loved, didn't we?
We did nothing wrong.
And yet, this universe isn't the same anymore.
Foreword
Prologue
The stars are beautiful. They remind me of the people in this world. Some shine brighter than the others while some will forever live under their shadows. Some get all the attention while others are always hidden in the vast night sky. I like stars because they remind me of him. It's like I see the whole galaxy reflected in his eyes. He is just like those lights in the sky, smiling brightly at the people on this earth.
We were seventeen back then. Young teenagers without hold or prospects. We were lost in the sea of dreams and fears. But we've found each other. He found me. He took my hand and loved me the way no one else could. We laughed and cried a lot. But although we loved the right way, although we were sure of each other and did nothing wrong, we didn't end up together. I can't take his hand in mine, and he can't press his lips on my forehead. We can't grow old together or lie down next to each other to count the stars. I always ask myself, why. Was it because I hadn't treated him right? Because I was selfish? Was it because I had let him go? Maybe we just weren't meant to be.
Can we go back and live in our memories?
