To Awa, My Twenty-One

There are moments in life that feels like a drama, beautiful, painful, unforgettable. And you… you’re my favorite episode.

You remind me of Twenty-Five Twenty-One. When youth burned so brightly, yet everything felt just out of reach. Of love that bloomed at the wrong time, but still meant everything.

Like Hee-Do, you’re full of dreams, running forward even when the world feels like it’s falling apart. And maybe I’m like Yi-Jin, admiring you, trying to keep up even when life pulls us in different directions.

We might not be the right people at the perfect time. But I know, just like in the story, this feeling, this connection, is real.

If this were a drama, I wouldn’t want a sad ending. I’d rewrite the script so we get to stay. So I could meet you not only at twenty-one, but again at twenty-five… and forever after that.

For now, I’ll hold onto the memories. And hope life is kind enough to let us keep writing this story together.

Always love you, As someone who’d wait at the bus stop of your heart.
