It’s funny how the world works in many strange ways. Without the two best friends realizing it, their friendship had drifted apart. Like the paper boats they had written their promises on, they sunk to the bottom of the stream.

            As time passed and they grew up, they didn’t even meet in school now. They attended different classes and went home at different times. Chanyeol often spent the afternoon walking home alone under the burning hot sun. They missed each other. But somehow, they just didn’t bring each other to meet.

He stared over at Kyungsoo’s quiet house before returning his gaze to the water. He sighed deeply as he sat down beside the stream. Slowly and carefully, he wrote little words on the side of the paper boats and sent them into the water.

Now he could only wonder what Chanyeol had written
