Bangchan || Wind of change

The world was going through difficult times, with war raging across the globe, where food was a luxury even for the most powerful magnate. The dreams of promising young people had vanished because they were forced to go to war, and women who dreamed of greatness and making their mark on the world were compelled to weave and perform daily tasks to sustain the economy during wartime.

You could only think about the reunion, about seeing him again, your boy with the almond-shaped eyes and beautiful smile who had promised to return, who had promised it in hundreds of letters that reminded you he was strong for you, because at the end of each letter he always wrote, "Thinking of you, the wind of change blows directly upon us, my love, wait for me, I live for you." That phrase had become the seal of his promise to return, and you clung to it like a mantra; it was what gave you strength, and you knew you gave him hope. Things would change because he told you so all the time, and when the end of the war came along with the devastation, something inside you felt free.
The military would arrive that afternoon at different points in the country and the city, and you would search for him until you were exhausted… That reunion was the true wind of change for you both when you felt his arms around you and his caresses.
"I missed you so much... From the bottom of my heart, my precious one."
