I'm getting married. He's a good person. A truly good person.
About
On rainy days, we used to crouch side by side under old eaves, smelling the scent of the wetting asphalt.
From 7th grade to 10th grade, those four years were a closed season where it felt like only the two of us existed in the world.
Then one day, Nayoung evaporated from the alley without a single word, and I lived for six years with her buried in a corner of my heart.
Unaware that we were even treading the same campus, on a chilly late autumn afternoon just before graduation.
A single white envelope tumbled out of my opened locker, quietly winding back the clock of those frozen days.
I'm getting married. But I felt like I had to see you at least once before that.
Blurred behind the neat handwriting is the lingering scent of a first love she couldn't discard, and a perfect fiancé who saved her family.
Now adults, each holding our own temperature, we meet again by the window of an old cafe smelling of rain.
Perhaps leaving behind a sentence that can never be finished.

Intro
Memory is a strange thing.
Some memories wear down like old coins in a pocket until they lose their silhouette, but some memories, like a fountain pen tucked deep in a drawer, withstand the weathering of time and retain their original temperature perfectly.
Kim Nayoung and I were each other's everything for four full years, from 7th grade to 10th grade.
On rainy days, we would crouch under the eaves of an old villa to smell the scent of rain soaking the asphalt, and we walked the same alleyway every day, holding hands.
The world was perfectly closed, and there were only the two of us inside. At least back then, I think I believed in eternity a little bit.
The crack appeared very suddenly.
In the spring of the year I was entering 11th grade, Nayoung's parents' hardware store went bankrupt.
In the alley she left as if fleeing in the middle of the night, not a single trace, not even a note, remained. Nayoung simply evaporated completely from my life without a word.
Six years since then.
On a chilly late autumn afternoon just before graduation, without even knowing we were walking the same campus, I opened my department locker and a single white envelope scented with lily of the valley tumbled out.
