Author's Note: Here you go, Surong it is! The couple that seems like the most popular from the project request with 5 votes! Anyways, I'm really sorry about making Chorong seem like the bad person orz I had to make angst/drama for this one since it seems like I'm writing a lot of fluff things. I need to get back to some drama too! Well, I hope you all enjoy this somewhat double update! ^^

*I made a play of words with the title, maybe you guys might catch on to it ^^

☁☁☁

Hard rain drops fall down from the dark gray skies that fills Seoul. The sun disappears behind the clouds as strong whistling winds rush past people and buildings. Thunderstorms and lightning fill the picture as a petite man leans against a brick wall in an alleyway. With his head lifted up, his porcelain skin stands out with droplets sliding down his face and neck. However, it wasn't just rain trickling down, but his very own tears.

"Why?" He muffles out as his hands clench, turning into a fist. "You were everything, Chorong," He effortlessly whispers, shaking his head. One of his hands run through his now wet brown hair, hanging his head down.

His other hand opens, revealing a gold heart locket. The rain drops on top of the locket and soon, he opens it, revealing a small picture of a girl with slightly chubby cheeks and long brown hair. The memories flash by him instantly, his eyes closing.

"Will we see each other again?" The male asks as he looks at the female across from him. He had to enter the military due to the law and he didn't wan to separate from her. "Of course, Joonmyun. We're meant to be," The girl replies sweetly as she cups his cheek gently, nodding in reassurance. Joonmyun hugs the girl tightly, his arms around her shoulders while his head leans on top of hers. "I'll see you soon, Chorong. We'll keep in touch, hm?" Joonmyun smiles weakly as he slowly pulls away from the hug.

"Yes," She replies softly, chewing on her bottom lip slightly. "Um, I think this might help you," Chorong continues as she unhooks a piece of jewelry from her neck. There hangs a gold necklace with a heart as the pendant. It was shiny and kept well in condition. "My parents gave me this locket when I graduated from high school. It's a locket and it has my picture in it. Hopefully it'll remind you of me," She nods and exhales softly, gulping.

Joonmyun receives the locket and looks at it, opening the locket to reveal a picture of her. He chuckles softly and places his finger on top of the picture, nodding, "Thank you so much, Chorong."

Those who are admitting in the military, please head over to the stage.

Joonmyun gulps and looks at her one last time, his eyes locked on hers. "I love you, Chorong," He whispers as he her hair, leaning in softly and kissing her plump lips for a fair amount of time.

After those two long years, Joonmyun is finally out of the military and many children and women were heading over to their loved ones. His eyes search back and forth for Chorong, but he couldn't find her anywhere. He even waited as some people started to leave the area. Soon, he was alone in an empty parking lot, his heart dropping. Where is she? He thinks as he walks towards a close bus stop. He sits there like a statue, his features stoic. She could have simply forgot, right? Maybe she was really busy that day. Maybe she had work to do. Yeah, that could be it.

Unfortunately, it wasn't. After a week, Joonmyun decided to visit a newly opened restaurant. He decided to go with a close friend of his from the army: Do Kyungsoo. As the two entered the restaurant, Joonmyun's eyes immediately widen, feeling his heart drop to the pit of his stomach. 

"Hyung," The male beside him says in a soft tone, looking up at him, "Is that--'" He starts as Joonmyun nods into blankness. "Chorong," He continues the younger one's sentence as it was quite audible from the quietness.

There was Chorong sitting down by the window with another handsome man across from her. It couldn't be, right? Maybe she's having an interview--wait, that wouldn't be right. Maybe it's a relative--wait, that can't be right either. He just couldn't accept it. He denied all his positive thoughts.

The beauty turned around and opens slightly, her light brown orbs widening, "J-Joonmyun." She gulps and stands up, holding the napkin tightly in her hand. He takes a deep breath and looks at Kyungsoo, nodding as they both head towards a table far away from Chorong's. 

He glances at her one last time as he passes her, his eyes soon averting towards the ground.

After about an hour, Joonmyun and his friend exits the restaurant, their stomachs both full from the delicious food. Kyungsoo bids his friend goodbye as he walks away, meeting his girlfriend who works next door. Joonmyun takes a deep breath and looks around at the scenery, his hands stuffing in his dress pants' pockets. 

"Joonmyun," A soft baby-like voice calls out as his head snaps towards the right of the source. Chorong stood there with both hands holding the strap of her purse. "Welcome back," She nods her head and cracks a small thin smile. Joonmyun glances at her and nods, starting to walk the opposite direction.

"Wait," She calls out as she lunges forward to grab his wrist, pursing her lips, "I-I have something to say." Joonmyun couldn't help but feel mixed with emotions. Anger, depression, bittersweet. Blood rushes through him as he clenches his jaw, releasing from her grip, "I know what you're going to say, okay?" 

Chorong stares at his back side, her head hanging down slowly as she slowly brings her hand back, "I-I'm sorry, Joonmyun. It's just that--he's really something. I never wanted to do this to you, I promise. I just couldn't help it." As she continues on he closes his eyes, trying to contain his anger.

"Do you still have the locket?" Chorong asks as she tilts her head slightly. Joonmyun turns around and tilts his head slightly, "The locket?" He pauses and looks at the ground, shaking his head, "I don't. I--lost it." 

Chorong lets out a small forced laugh, her eyes watering slightly, "Oh, I see that. Well, I hope you live your life well, Joonmyun-ssi." She bows politely and starts walking the opposite direction, taking small foot steps. "I guess I wasn't for you," She whispers quietly to herself, hoping that he wouldn't hear. Unfortunately, he did. He his lips and lets out a breathy laugh as he turns his body to look at her, "You were, Chorong. You were. But you decided to go with that other guy, so it seems like I'm the one not for you."

She turns around and looks at his expressions. He looked mixed, confused, and saddened. Did she really make the right decision? We may never know.

However, as she started getting farther and farther away, Joonmyun's hand slowly removes from his pocket, revealing the gold locket. "I can't believe you actually believed me. You know that when my eyes look to the ground, I'm lying," He murmurs to himself as he shakes his head, walking away. 

"Yah, Joonmyun, I like you, okay?" The stern voice shouts as she points to him, a proud grin spreading across her face. The line repeats in his head as Joonmyun closes his eyes, returning back to the present. 

"I still love you, Chorong," He couldn't help but let more tears roll down his face. His first love, the one that was on his mind 24/7 during his serving time, disappeared from him in just a blink of an eye. 

Taking the locket, he walks towards a drain, taking a deep breath. It was time for him to lock away the memories from him physically and emotionally. Biting his bottom lip, he holds the locket tightly before releasing his grasp, the locket dropping into the drain.

The locket, which is now physically gone from him, disappears into the drain. However, it lands on a small hook that was hanging inside, the gold reflecting lightly. Now, it was time to lock away his emotions. It will take a long time though.
