It was another day, another day of waiting for her. I was sitting on the corner again, I was here for a quite some time now and until now I have no reason to leave this place, this place where it all started.

Every day was just like any another day, I was sitting with the cardboard on my side saying “If you see this girl can you tell her where I am” with her picture attached to it and just wait, wait until the day she comes.

Some people hand me money, but I don’t need them, all I need is her, just her, but they don’t understand my pain. Even people who walk pass by me always steal a glance at me, maybe wondering why am I still here all this time, but I don’t care, all I care about is her, now, I’m just here, waiting for her to come back if she changes her mind.

The man is still there, sitting and waiting with his sleeping bag beside him. I don’t know why is he still waiting for the girl to come, he’s been waiting there for almost a month and I didn’t even saw him move to another place to wait. I may don’t know anything but I sure know that this girl he’s been waiting for doesn’t deserve him. I mean, he is already known for the man who can’t be moved. Why can’t she come here and tell the poor guy to stop waiting for her if she really doesn’t want him back?

I was mad at absolutely nothing that I should be a part of but I can’t stand to let this man wait alone for someone who doesn’t deserve him. So I sat beside him. He looked at me like I was someone who’s crazy

“Why are you sitting here?” I never actually observed him but he has really nice eyes

“I always see you here waiting for the girl in your cardboard and I just want to know how it feels to wait for someone” I shrugged “And besides, my house is just behind you” I pointed the door just behind him

“You wouldn’t understand, you don’t know how I feel since you don’t love her” his eyes looked so lonely and I suddenly felt a pang of hurt

“I will lose nothing in trying” then silence filled the air. People kept on staring at us while they pass by

“What’s your name?” I broke the silence

“Just call me L” he replied shortly

Since that day, I always give time to just sit and watch and make small conversations with him

~After a month~

“Hyung, aren’t you tired of waiting for her?” maybe it’s time to ask him, just maybe

“No, not at all. If you love the person, you’ll wait for her until she tells you to stop then, you should stop” he gave a small genuine smile but for some reason, for the passing days, my hearts flutter when I see his smiling face.

It has been a month since Sungjong would stop by and sits with me. He would always ask or make some short conversation. His presence doesn’t bother me; in fact, I came to love his presence. How every day he would ask a question out of the world seems so amusing. He would ask questions of why am I still waiting for her but rather than tearing up, I smiled at my own answer, I feel like I have changed.

It was another day again since Sungjong has sat and talked with me, it has been so lonely. But today was different, something was off, I don’t feel like I’m waiting for her, I don’t know who am I waiting for but I am not waiting for her, it seems so new and different. But a voice interrupted my confusion

“Hi hyung, how was your day? Did she come by?” he sat beside me and smiled brightly. I looked at him like he was some kind of alien. I don’t know why but I feel so complete with him beside me, I don’t know. Maybe I really have to go to the mental hospital to be checked.
