It’s me, it’s been a long time
Breath“Hello?”
She was greeted by silence. A frown began to form on her face as she pulled away from her phone to check on the caller. It was from an unidentified number. Who could this be?
“Hello? May I know who is calling?” She asked once more as she placed her ear against the receiver. The sound of air being blown from the other line caught her attention. It was the sound of deep, slow, and controlled breaths. She got annoyed by the silence of the caller and so, without so much as a goodbye or a warning, she ended the call.
But that sigh coming from the other line had already made its mark in her memory. Jessica Jung ended up thinking about it the whole night.

Lips quivered at the failure. Her failure. Why was it so hard for her?
Months after running away and then struggling to survive on the other side of the planet, all that effort of escaping just went down the drain after she had decided to call. But then, she knew deep inside that she would still come running back to that person just as she had a few years back.
“Why?!” She cried out, breaking the silence that loomed over her room. “Why did I call her? Why did I leave in the first place? Why did I let her go?”
And in her heart, Krystal knew the answer very well.
‘I love her, that’s why.’
