how could it be that choi seunghyun is standing right under the very tree (cherry blossom to be exact), the very tree where he once shed many tears and muffled sobs under a night after she left him. and how could it also be that today is their anniversary. 「 0517 」

it was a rather windy spring day. it was an unexpected weather for their date, but the couple managed. they both walked together hand in hand, talking about whatever was happening in their lives, talking about their dreams, and whatnot. it was all normal, but she wasn't as cheery as usual. and seunghyun had observed that while they were on the topic of careers. she seemed less talkative, less responsive. seunghyun had laughed it off and said he was still trying to decide whether to get into the music or arts industry. while he did enjoy writing down a line or two he also had a passion for the arts. he collected whatever art piece he could to satisfy himself with. because art itself was so overwhelming and amazing to him, each concept, each piece was very dear to him. but music still made its way to his heart. his parents were giving him exactly a month to decide before they do it for him.
