New York, NY:
Present Day.

Rain was peacefully hitting the streets of New York City, small droplets of water landing on top of people's heads and car windshields, and taxis honking at every person that walked too slow.  The day was bustling like the usual, couples holding hands, business men talking on the phone to mark some important meeting, toddlers dressed up in raincoats and stomping on puddles with their rain boots, parents grabbing their hands to stop them from walking too far. The Big Apple was always known as a loud, car filled, human crammed area. There wasn't a place in this city where you could find peace and quiet. In fact, it was known to be quite odd to be in the big city and stuffed in a quiet building. If that was your situation, it always meant there was something wrong (in this city at least).

 

Yewon and Eunbi stared each other, rain dripping down the cafe window they sat next to. Eunbi swallowed thickly and stared into Yewon's empty gaze. It's been three years ever since the two last saw each other. Eunbi tried her best to lighten up the mood by giving small jokes but she didn't earn anything from Yewon, not even a breathy chuckle. Yewon was there, one leg crossed over the other, her piping hot tea sitting before her as she continued staring Eunbi down. She was never known as an intimidating girl so her intense gaze left Eunbi speechless and a tad bit shocked. They continued sitting there, Yewon glancing at her watch every five minutes or so while Eunbi crinkled a piece of napkin in her palm so she could distract herself. The tension between them was increasing and it made Eunbi want to get up and leave but she couldn't. She hasn't seen her in years, especially since the reason of her departure was because of her.

 

"You've grown up really well.." Eunbi spoke in a gentle tone. "You got rid of your bangs and everything." She smiled a bit more but Yewon remained the same, her hand taking her cup of tea so she could sip it carefully while she continued listening to Eunbi ramble. "It's been so long. How old are you now? Twenty-one? Twenty-two?"

 

Yewon placed her cup down, taking her time while she rubbed her lips together and finally spoke. "Twenty-three. You should know. We were born in the same year."

 

Eunbi was embarrassed and she felt stupid. How could she forget her own best friend's birthday? Silence invaded their atmosphere again and this time, Eunbi finally grew silent. Seeing Yewon's face forced flashbacks, both positive and negative, to enter her mind again. She was on the verge of tears this time. She had so many things she wanted to tell Yewon. She wanted to tell her things like how she finally owned hundreds of dance studios around the world and how proud she was of Yewon since she was such a well known acoustic artist. Eunbi held in years of emotion in her chest and mind. Instead of releasing them, she held it in a little longer as she parted her lips to speak.

 

"It's been five years." Yewon stared at her intently as Eunbi continued speaking. She didn't know if Yewon knew what she was talking about so she continued.  "You know, ever since we met-"

 

"I know," Yewon cut her off. "It's been five years ever since the day we met, the only day I wish I could undo."

 

Eunbi was a bit shocked by Yewon's answer. She was afraid of what her next answer would be to her next question but she asked anyway. "Why do you wish that you could undo it?"

 

It was Yewon's turn now. Her eyes were burning. All of the memories with Eunbi that she thought she swallowed and got over were back. Nights after nights full of tears

Chapter 16: okay, first things first, yes eunbi was an . yewon is just really too kind. ive been meaning to read this story for months and i finally got the chance, i started at like 7am and now it's 8:30, without a blink of sleep yet cause i stayed up last night. i couldn't really remove my attention from the story. it was my first time hearing the song, so throughout the story i was wondering how you were going to interpret it, because i really liked the song. and this very last chapter just concluded it, and i felt exactly what i felt when i listened to the song. i love this so much! i cant put it into words.thank you for this wonderful story.

Chapter 16: I came back for a reread and it still hurted. My feels. This ending- I- It’s such a perfect way to end it but my feels are just- I- Liek. It’s an ending and I just. I KNOW THERE’S MORE TO IT AFTER THIS, LOGICALLY BUT- There’s nothing for my feels to be repaired. Even if I read all the fluff in the world there won’t be a suitable what if story to this end and it hurts. HAHAHAHAHA I’m being so overdramatic but oh my God. It’s one of those things where your stuck in this limbo wondering how they’re doing in this universe and there’s just so many what if’s and I just can’t help but want more.

Regardless of all my AURGH NEED MOAR feels. This was holy the best UmB fic I’ve read. Yes it hurts, yes I hate myself for putting myself through this torture but tbh I’d become a masochist if every UmB fic was as good as this one. I’m scrambling to put together the words because there’s so much I want to say but I’d be stuck here for hours trying to put it together because dude. This was hella good. Hell if I was active while you’d been updating this I’d rain all the reviews on you. This was so ing beautiful it’s painful but that sting of pain just makes the reconciliation so much more sweeter. I loved it. So much. Thank you for making this.
