𝐘unjin

You met Yunjin when you were both seventeen. It all started in October.

October smelled of rain and cheap coffee after school. They shared headphones, walked until nightfall, and swore that no one would ever separate them.

Yunjin was your home.

But you were afraid. Afraid to love another woman. Then he appeared. He was the easy choice.

One night you broke Yunjin's heart.

"I need time."

What you never told him was that you were already dating someone else.

She just smiled sadly.

"I hope you're happy."

And he disappeared.

Three years later, you're still with that man. He doesn't look at you anymore, he comes home late, and he smells of a cologne that isn't yours.

One early morning his cell phone vibrates.

"Are you coming today? I already miss it."

You understand everything without reading any more.

The same pain you caused has just returned to you.

Without thinking, you end up in the park where it all began.

Under the same tree is Yunjin, with a book and a cold coffee in his hands.

Look up when you hear your footsteps and slowly close the book.

"It took you three years."

The silence between them is heavy.

"Do you know what the worst part is?"

Her voice is barely a whisper.

"I thought that with time October would stop hurting..."

A small, sad smile appears on her face.

"But October still belongs to us."
