Have we met before?

How should I answer? Yes, we met before. It was like a shooting star, a perfectly divine glow, a temporary streak of light in the night sky. But I was afraid of loving... I was afraid of being alone again, I was afraid of losing you, and in the end despite everything I did to protect my heart I found myself bleeding.

After all this time I'm still thinking about the 'What if?' And in this exact moment, you're in front of me, maybe it's just the ghost of you that is chasing me but I dreamed this moment many times... sadly I know you're not the same person.

I have to push you away from me one more time.

"I'm sorry I think you're confusing me with someone else" I replied at him faking a smile
"Oh..." I can see the disappointment in your eyes 'Do you really remember me?' "My bad I thought I knew you from somewhere," he said while bowing at me
"It's okay, I have to go" I passed by your side without looking at your face, my eyes were glossy, my heart was beating fast all I know it's that I want to run away as far as I can.

I don't know how but I made it home. I opened the door and saw Joseph in the living room reading a newspaper his eyes followed me as I enter my bedroom quietly. I couldn't hold it anymore I curled myself on the floor and I started to cry my heart out. Joseph came to me and helped me to stand up.
"My little girl, everything will be fine" he said to me while he wiped my tears
I hugged him tightly, he's the only one who saw me cry like I did every night since you left the palace. It was a long journey I tried to forget you, I tried to forgive myself but karma is real and it hits you in the strangest way possible.

"What Is happening?" I asked Joseph
He sat by my side and hold my hand
"Afterlife" he said
"Afterlife?" I asked doubtfully
"Yes, It can happen" he paused for a moment "I saw it a couple of times back then" I don't know why but I can feel the sadness in his voice
"That means that..."
"Yes, maybe is the young man's soul" he looked at me while holding my shoulders "But that doesn't mean he will be the same person you knew"
"What should I do?" I asked looking at him hopeless
"That's on you" Joseph said before leaving my room

" "Yes, maybe is the young man's soul" he looked at me while holding my shoulders "But that doesn't mean he will be the same person you knew" "What should I do?" I asked looking at him hopeless "That's on you" Joseph said before leaving my room

A new day has come, I skipped the first class since I knew he will be there. Maybe I'm a coward but my mind is still dizzy I need more time. My phone has been ringing nonstop, Lisa has been calling me since yesterday.
This girl...
"Lalisa I'm okay" I finally answered her call
"Chu I was worried" she was almost crying
"Don't worry I was a little bit sick but I'm feeling better"
"I'm glad to hear that" she continues "We should have lunch together"
"Sounds great I'll call you later" I replied to her before ending the call

She's an angel... I thought to myself. I was walking near the music department and I heard the sound of a piano. It sounds awful like if someone is hitting the keys furiously
I started to follow the sound unconsciously until I saw the instrument's room and there he was...
I was frozen at my spot since I didn't expect to see him today but he looks frustrated

"You'll kill the piano if you keep pressing the keys like that" I said to him I was surprised since the words came out naturally from my mouth
He looked back at me and his face turned red
"Actually I can't play the piano at all" he laughed nervously
"I Can tell" I said to him while smiling "Then why are you here?" I asked him
"A song is stuck on my head and I thought I could play it but...I'm sorry it sounds stupid"
"Let me try" I sit beside him

I started to play the piano, it has been a long time since I play it so I made some mistakes. But he looked at me amused and clapped his hands.

"You're amazing!" He almost screamed in my ear
"I'm not that good" I said to him embarrassed
"Can you teach me? You're wonderful it's like you have years of experience" his eyes were sparkling
"Well I think I have free time..."
"Good!" He held both of my hands "My name is Taehyung I think we met yesterday " he smiled
"I'm Jisoo..." I replied to him flustered at his action
"Oh sorry maybe you think I'm a creep" He let go of my hands "I haven't asked you yet but...

"Can we be friends?"

"Can we be friends?"
