I first met her when I was ten. She was eight and in her peak of curiosity. Fate allowed her to do her mission to bother me for a lifetime, starting from that day.

Out of all people out there in Earth, in South Korea, in Seoul, in this park, she chose me.

Her first word to me, her first question, took me aback. Part of me was thinking ‘who is this girl’ another was thinking ‘should I answer the question’ and the bigger part of my brain was registered with ‘why me’.

I don’t know why I decided to answer it, even until now.

Then came the question; the question that changed my world forever and led me to a whole new world I never thought I’d knew.

A whole new world I thought would last forever, that would be a perfect meaning for this imperfect world.

Her.

But nothing lasts forever.
