She drove aimlessly after Soonho left. Her subconscious brought her to the ocean. She recognized the place. It was not their usual hangout but they had spent one whole night here, sitting side by side each other counting stars, tracing constellations, talking about nothing and everything until dawn started to splash color and light across the sky. 

The box sat unopened on her passenger seat. It sat there quietly but ominously intruding on Dara’s consciousness. After sitting still for an eternity she finally turned, took the box and placed it on her lap. It didn’t weigh much.

She smiled bitterly at the irony... how a box became sort of instrumental in them getting back together and now another box had placed a definite end to their reunion.

She lifted the cover and looked inside. There on a bed of wrapping tissue lay an innocemt looking TamTam and an equally innocent looking envelope. A smile unknowingly lit her face as she saw TamTam. Then it slowly faded.

TamTam brought them together. He witnessed their first memory together now he's witnessing how they once again fell apart. Her finger traced the mismatched eyes and a ghost of a smile once again flitted across her lips but then her eyes strayed towards the crisp white envelope beside TamTam and her face looked grim. 

She took the envelope and opened it to find a few sheets of paper. Unlike Jiyong’s hasty scrawl on his previous confession, this time this letter was written in Jiyong’s clean and crisp handwriting. It showed that he had placed great thought and care unto writing this letter, that this was not purely driven by emotion. Her hands trembled as she took in Jiyong’s words.

Dee,

Letting you go the first time would always be one of my worst mistakes but not letting you go this time would also be one of my worst mistakes.
 

For the longest time I’ve been brooding over our first breakup. I’ve always looked back to those days we had together. Those memories have kept me going on dur
