"She surely is odd..." he thought.

Just like he did everyday, watching her write in the notebook of hers, under the tree.

He had to make sure that the other girl didn't catch him though; he was supposed to love her.

Except he didn't.

Soon, it was time to go to basketball, and the boy left.

And shortly after, he knew, she would come to watch.

Sweat drenched the boy's shirt as he practiced endlessly, taking shot after shot.

And missing.

Why isn't she here yet? She should be here...

The girl that normally stands outside the door.

She wasn't here.

After five more minutes, she appeared, thinking she was sly as ever.

The boy smirked and shot the next one.

And he made it.

Just like all the ones after it.

Before heading toward the changing rooms, he looked back, and smiled as he notices she was gone already.

Just like always...I'll see you out in your yard.

And he did.

Heading back home, dribbling his ball today, he saw the girl waiting, pretending she was writing in her notebook again.

That notebook

He gave her that notebook, back when they openly cared for each other.

Tomorrow's game... You'll come, right? Of course you will. But you'll be outside...

Game day came around the corner.

But she didn't wait outside.

Actually, she came early.

"Myungsoo...?" she called.

Startled, he turned around.

"Myungsoo... I have to tell you something."

He smiled. "What."

"I think I'll be going somewhere today, Myungsoo. I don't think it'll be safe."

His browed furried as he frowned. "Suzy, if it's dangerous, then you shouldn't go. I'll go with you"

"Are you sure? Don't come Myungsoo. Once you go there, you can never come back."

"Where is this place called?" the boy asked, afraid that he already knew the answer.

The girl forced a smile. "Myungsoo, don't you know? It's called heaven. Since God is there, I think people will like me more. And I can see Daddy again."

"Suzy, no. Please, don't. Why don't we go watch the sunset today instead. I heard it would be really pretty today. Remember what we used to always do together. We watched the sunset. So promise me that you won't go."

Suzy grinned. "Maybe. I'll tell you after the game."

And the game went on...

Soon it ended.

The boy was heading outside when a girl came running up to him.

"L Oppa!!" She exclaimed, as she jumped up and hugged him.

He, in all his excitement of going on a 'date' with another girl, had forgotten about his girl.

The girl he was supposed to love.

But didn't.

"Oh, Naeun...I've got to go somewhere. "

"oppaaaaa, where? You promised to let me buy you ice cream today if we won the game!"

"Sorry..."

"Okay. Because you're my favorite oppa, I'll let you go. But next time...Promise to let me buy ice cream. Okay?"

"Okay" if there is a next time.

The boy looked up just in time to see the girl disappear.

And he chased after her.

He reached the building and climbed up the stairs.

He had to get there first.

As soon as he got there, he first noticed their engraving...

And he smiled, and waited for her to come.

But she never did.

And the sun was setting.

He noticed a notebook on the chair.

The notebook that she always carried around.

I'm sorry I left

without you...

On the bottom left corner, there was an arrow...

The boy turned over the paper

Sorry...

I broke my promise

The boy saw the ground had foorprints of the girl's shoe.

It was of mud.

No wonder she got here so fast.

She used our shortcut

He stepped onto the footprints until he came upon the last one.

He could imagine the girl, stepping off here.

He lifted his back foot and hung it in the air in front of him.

If this is the only way to see you

then it must be the only way to happiness...

I'm sorry God

for easily throwing away such a great gift...

I'm sorry mother, father

that you had to watch your suicidal son

have his only friend be

a suicidal girl...

And the boy stepped off the building, minutes after the girl did.

Following her footsteps to find his happiness once again.
