Summary:

“For you, Jimin. Lucky for you, I never had huge expectations for my soulmate. Sadly for me, I got stuck with you. Forever,” 18-year-old Minjeong says over the cracking line, laughter hiding in her voice as she hears a dignified ‘hey!’ in the background. She laughs loudly, fondly, and present Minjeong can recall the memory immediately. Jimin, lazing around the bed while Minjeong was making all these cassettes, the warm orange light framing her face and making her eyes soft. Minjeong remembers looking at her and saying, “I think I can say that we are both incredibly lucky to have found each other so soon. Don’t miss me much, though, as I’ll always stay close to you, and I’ll always find my way back to you.”

The message is cut off suddenly, and Moon River starts playing. The daisies burn, the petals wither on her skin, and Minjeong lets it happen. She embraces the pain.

Minjeong learns about second chances when she returns home.
