"Huh? Is that me? Is that my Team member, Sunwoo with Hyunwoo and Doyoon? On a football game?? I don't remember this. Why did he photoshop me? This is so weird. I need to talk about this to him tomorrow." Yunju said.
[The Next Day—Group Meeting]
"Sunwoo, I have something to ask." Yunju said.
"Sure, go on." Sunwoo replied.
Yunju brings out the photo.
Sunwoo was shocked.
"Would you mind explaining this? Why am I here? Why did you photoshop me here?" Yunju asked.
"Why do you have that-" Sunwoo was cut off.
"That's not my question. I need you to tell me. Why am I here. That's so weird. Are you obsessed with me?" Yunju asked.
"N-no. It's a long story."
"What do you mean long story? We met yesterday. You are so weird for this. I don't remember this happening. Get rid of this." Yunju said and ripped off the photo.
"N-No! I swear, we know each other. You went to Gangnam Highschool and your favorite Football team at university was Jungang Scorchers."
"What the hell? Where did you get these information. I need you to leave me alone. I feel uncomfortable." Yunju said and walked out.
"The photo.." Sunwoo was on his knees, crying over the pieces of paper on the floor. It was the only thing he had kept from the other timeline. But now it's gone. His past only exists in his mind now, not even a photo of a memory. The time where he was living his life, not surviving his life.
Everybody at the meeting room was staring at him all confused.
"Sunwoo, are you okay?" Doyoon asked.
"No.." Sunwoo replied.
Sunwoo took all the pieces one by one, shoved it into his pocket, he packed his bag, wiped his tears, and left.
"Where are you going?" Hyunwoo shouted.
Sunwoo left the building.
He sat at the garden. He saw Yunju from afar, sitting alone at the table with a cup of coffee.
Sunwoo tried not to tear up but started crying again.
"Why did I say that? I broke out of character. Why did I show i love you? It's seen as weird. I am weird. What am I doing. I destroyed everything. Yunju hates me. And the photo, it's gone. It's all just a memory. The fun times with Yunju, it's all erased memory stuck in my mind. I hate myself. I wouldn't be here if only I told her earlier, maybe. if I told her, we had a happy ending. Maybe, just maybe. In another life, in another timeline, in another universe. We lived happily ever after. Life is all sunshines and rainbows. But it's not. Yunju, I miss you." Sunwoo was talking to himself. He was crying non-stop.
Doyoon and Hyunwoo comes up to him.
"What happened? Did Yunju say anything? I'm confused. We're confused. Sunwoo, tell us everything. We're here for you." Doyoon asked.
"If you ever need help, just come to us. What was that thing she ripped off? Is that the reason why? What happened?" Hyunwoo asked.
"Thank you for the concern. I'm okay. I'm just overwhelmed. I can't believe I ruined so many opportunities I could've had with her." Sunwoo answered.
"her? Who??" Doyoon asked.
"Nothing." Sunwoo answered as he looked at Yunju from afar. He started smiling, but crying. A bittersweet feeling.
