On this ocean blue, it could've been me and you.

On this ocean blue, it could've been me and you.  

 

Each night, Hyoyeon would always walk towards the shore, as it gave her a full view of the ocean. She liked how the sun would reflect on the water as it is clear as glass—you can even compare it to a mirror as you can see your own reflection. Perhaps Hyoyeon sees the ocean as a mirror—it lets you see your reflection, but other than that, you would never see a glimpse of your own truth. You would never see your own lies, but you would see your eyes, and your eyes would never lie. Hyoyeon knows the ocean has its own secrets; she's sure it has; after all, everyone has secrets to hide. Hyoyeon has seen one of the ocean's secrets, though.  

 

It was a summer night, the night was cold, and so was the atmosphere inside the house where Hyoyeon is staying for the rest of the summer, as the unending bickering of her parents would not stop.

They waited until Hyoyeon settled into a comfortable position before singing once again. After singing, the person didn't waste any time leaving. She hurriedly walked—it was not a walk, it was a crawl—back to the water. Hyoyeon is sure; she has seen it with her two eyes.  

 

Days turned into weeks, and Hyoyeon has been patiently waiting for the creature to come back, and it did. But this time it was earlier than before—the creature would always come every midnight on the same spot. It was odd for Hyoyeon, but she didn't pay much attention.
