花樣年華: THE NOTES [4/x]
석진 - PART 2 13 June YEAR 22
It has been two years since Hoseok’s name appeared on my phone screen.
“Hyung, Jungkook got into a car accident.”
I cannot recall how long I had sat at the foot of my bed back then, staring at my phone until the screen dimmed before it eventually turned black. Even in the haze of guilt, my thoughts had been all over the place and I remember grabbing the one that meant the most to me.
What had I done?
Two solid years have passed without a single phone call from my friends. I deserve it. I had taken their trust and crushed it with my bare hands. I hadn’t realized what I had, what I would not have given up if I had the chance to live my life all over again. Somehow, the world has its funny way of holding up your happiness and dangling it above you like a dog treat. Merciless. Ruthless. And I fell for it, like a gullible fool who only knew how to be selfish.
I am sorry. I really am. If I had a chance, I would want to go back into time, to tell my present that his future was ruined all because he hadn’t realised, that the world had already given him all the love he could get in the form of six best friends. Once upon a time, Fate had looked at me with sadness in her eyes and said, “be content,” and I had replied with “I can’t.”
She must have been offended, because this is the harshest punishment one can ever get.
