The year had passed since Jae bid farewell to Eunji, leaving their once-shared life behind to embark on a journey to find the one who had captured his heart long ago. Armed with determination and fueled by the hope of reuniting with Rem, he set out on a quest that would take him across oceans and continents.
The night before his departure, Jae found himself standing by the window, gazing at the moon illuminating the dark sky. His heart was filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness, unsure of what lay ahead. He couldn't help but think back to the first time he met Rem, how her vibrant energy and captivating smile had drawn him in like a moth to a flame.
The memories flooded his mind, each one as vivid as the last—their late-night conversations about art, dreams, and the mysteries of the universe, the way they would lose track of time while wandering through galleries and museums, and the intimate moments when they would share their hopes and fears, their hearts entwined as one.
With a deep breath, Jae shook off his reverie and focused on the present. He had spent countless hours researching online platforms, art communities, and any trace of Rem's whereabouts. He knew it wouldn't be an easy task, but he was willing to go to great lengths to find her—the one who had been the inspiration behind his music and the reason his soul yearned for more.
After weeks of tireless searching and connecting with old acquaintances, he finally stumbled upon a lead—a faint glimmer of hope that pointed to a place where Rem might reside now. London—the city of dreams, art, and countless hidden stories—beckoned him.
The next morning, as the sun rose on the day of his departure, Jae felt a mix of anticipation and anxiety. He clutched his guitar close to his chest, its familiar weight a comforting reminder of the songs he had written about Rem, songs that he hoped she would one day hear.
The flight to London felt like a journey through time and space, each moment bringing him closer to the one he had longed for. As the plane touched down, he could feel his heart pounding in his chest, a symphony of emotions swirling inside him. He checked into a cozy bed and breakfast, feeling like a stranger in a city that held both memories and a future he was yet to uncover.
Over the following days, Jae explored the vibrant streets of London with a mix of excitement and trepidation. He visited art galleries, attended poetry readings, and immersed himself in the city's creative scene, hoping to catch a glimpse of Rem's essence amidst the artwork and expressions of others.
Yet, despite his tireless efforts, days turned into weeks, and there was no sign of Rem. Doubt started to creep into his mind—had she moved away? Was she purposely avoiding him? The fear of never finding her threatened to consume him, but he refused to give up.
On what would be his last night in London before considering the possibility of returning home defeated, fate intervened in a way he could never have imagined. As Jae strolled through the city's bustling streets, feeling the weight of disappointment heavy on his shoulders, a familiar melody floated through the air.
He followed the enchanting tune until he stumbled upon a group of buskers passionately singing "Hey Jude" by The Beatles. The lyrics resonated within him (
Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.
, as if the universe was speaking directly to his heart. It was as if Rem's presence lingered in the air, urging him to hold on a little longer.
Inspired by this serendipitous encounter, Jae had an idea—a brilliant plan that could help him connect with Rem. He decided to host a free concert in London, using his music as a beacon of love and hope, in hopes that she would hear his songs and come running into his arms once more.
The stage was set, the city buzzing with electric anticipation.
