“You look like ? coffee?”

 

“the usual, my head hurts”

 

“It’s not Friday seungwan, what’s the occasion?”

 

Seulgi, other than coffee, Alcohol also runs in my blood

 

“nothing, just bored”

 

“Hi, can I get an Iced Café Americano”

 

that voice

 

“um? can I help you?”

 

“nothing, you just look like someone I know”

 

weird

 

“okay?”

 

“Here is your order! Late for class?”

 

“yep, decided to stop by because I’m already late anyway”

 

“don’t skip class kiddo you’ll regret it!”

 

“Kid your , I’m the teacher Seul and they can’t do nothing anything about it”

 

your voice reminds me of-

 

“Opps, I almost forgot. This is Seungwan, Seungwan this is Joohyun”

 

“gotta go! see you later Seulgi and S-seungwan?”

 

Joohyun

 

“It’s nice meeting you”

 

who are you?

 

 

“Say seulgi? How long did you know Joohyun?”

 

“Why you like her? I can set you up with her if you want?”

 

“No silly, not like that..just wondering”

 

“She lives in the building I’m in, she’s technically single so if-

 

“again, I’m just curious”

 

I feel like this isn’t the first time we met

like she’s a big part of my life

 

maybe I’m just tired

 

“you never know Seungwan, it’s better to shoot your shot than wait”

 

okay? that line is so familiar to me?

 

“whatever, tell joy I said Hi”

 

--

 

work

go home

repeat

 

I wonder what did I do in my past life

that my life right now is so boring

 

Well yeah, I got money and friends

but something is missing

or someone to be exact

 

I was famous during Uni days

but none of them really caught my attention

 

 

Joohyun

 

I don’t know what I’m thinking

it’s just so weird

 

A week since our last encounter

she visits me in my dream

 

or maybe it’s her

from the past

 

“Nope! maybe I’m just tired. Yeah you're just tired seungwan”

 

but why does she keep on telling me in my dreams that she misses me? and she can’t wait to go home?

 

“argh! Joohyun..who are you?”

 

I’m going for a walk

I need to get you off my mind

 

 

 

 

 

 

still thinking of you

you’re driving me crazy

 

“should I ask seul for her num-

 

someone out there is playing tricks on me

 right in front of me is the woman I can’t get off my mind

 

who the hell are you?

 

“Joohyun, I’m sorry”

 

you stared at me

 

“I feel like you said those words to me before”

 

that made me look at her

do you perhaps... feel it too?

 

“Anyway, what are you doing here? it’s kinda late. Do you need something here? I could get it for you”

 

I didn’t notice we’re at a school

my feet led me here

 

this is the same school in my dreams!

does this mean sh-

 

“um, you work here?”

 

“Yeah? why?”

 

she works here

 

In my dreams we-

we studied here

 

“c-cool”

 

“Are you alright? you kinda look pale, something bothering you?”

 

that

 

“Joohyun, who are you?”

 

I have to

this needs to end

 

“w-what do you mean?”

 

“Do..you feel it too? because, I can’t get you off my mind”

 

I can feel her hesitating

 

“there’s a park nearby, I think we should talk this out”

 

the park

we used to go here

 

why does it make me sad?

 

 

 

“to be honest? I can’t stop thinking about you too”

 

I’m glad to know I’m not crazy

and just making all this stuff in my head

 

“I feel like..I know you. Y-you’re always in my dream. It’s weird because it’s us but it’s like the past? I-I don’t know maybe I’m ju-

 

“I know, you’re always in my dream too”

 

“I’m not crazy? for thinking that we know each other from the past?”

 

“No, Hyun”

 

Hyun

 

“you called me hyun in my dreams”

 

“And you called me hamtaro, am I a hamster?”

 

“you look like one, I guess it’s fine”

 

 

 

“Seungwan”

 

“yeah?”

 

“What if we did something in our past life tha-

 

“that the universe allows us to meet again?”

 

“yes, that”

 

“In my dreams, you keep on telling me yo-you’ll wait”

 

“and you keep on telling me that you promise to meet me again”

 

what if this is..

 

‘I promise, If the Universe allows us. I’ll shoot my shot with you”

 

‘then I’ll be waiting for you’

 

maybe this is it

 

the chance we never had in the past

 

“you’re thinking about it don’t you? the promise thing”

 

“yes”

 

silence

 

“Seungwan”

 

“Joohyun”

 

“Wo-would you like to..try?”

 

“I don’t know, I mean? it’s the past and its up to us If we do something about it”

 

“Will you do something about it? or we’ll just let it be and move on with our own lives? because I-I think I’ll regret this if we don’t try”

 

regrets

 

I don’t want that

 

“Maybe we should and see where it goes”

 

“what if we fail? again?”

 

“At least we’ll try, this time together”

 

--

 

 

memories from the past still hunts us in our dreams

but I’m happy we decided to act on it

 

I’m so happy

 

you are the missing puzzle

maybe this is the chance that we missed before

 

I’m glad we did it right, this time

 

“Baby, are you done?”

 

“just a minute Hyun”

 

“that was what you said 30 minutes ago, come here and kiss me”

 

clingy joohyun

 

“just a minute”

 

“Fine. you won’t kiss me? I’ll do it myself”

 

I could do this forever

 

“see, you wanted it too”

 

“Come here”

 

“I love you”

 

“I love you”

 

silly

 

“I’m happy hyun”

 

“Me too, thank you for risking it with me”

 

“You know, without the past. I think I would still try it with you”

 

“Yeah, I know I’m kinda hot right?”

 

we both laughed

 

“Seungwan”

 

“hmm?”

 

“Let’s not be coward and waste this chance we have”

 

“of course hyun, this time we’ll do it right”

 

 

 

 

 

 

And they did

 

This time they finally made it

Seungwan finally says her thoughts out loud.

Joohyun never hold back like she used to.

 

and by that

 

 

This is the end of Seungwan thoughts

a messy ride

 

but you made it

 

they made it

 

 

 

 

 

August slipped away into a moment in time

 

 

 

 

 

 

but this time they have each other

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fin.
