Ephemera

twenty four

You got cold so easily
Telling me you were used to catching colds
But I hope this winter will be kind to you
You know, that's one of my wishes, baby

He suddenly remembered the day when they went out on their last date. Their last date. Their first and last kiss.

He remembered the first day they first met— although it wasn't in the most romantic and ideal way on how lovers would meet.

"oneulttara wae ireoke bogo shipeunji
neol joshimseure kkeonae bodaga
gyeondil manhae sajin sok geuriun eolguri
nareul bomyeo useo junikka"

Why do I miss you so much more today?
I hesitantly looked through memories of you
And it's bearable, because in the pictures
Your face is smiling back at me

A tear escaped his eyes, and the crowd was in awe. He didn't had the chance to wipe it since he was busy plucking the strings.

Tears continuously flowed out of his eyes, but he couldn't give a single damn about it. His friends were worried, because they have no idea what he was thinking.

"nuni ol kkeot gateunde (bakkeul bwa eoneusae)
neomu neujeumyeon an dwae (yaksokae)
uriga mannaneun giri eotgalliji anke
Now all I do
All I do is wait"

It looks like it could snow (already, look outside)
You can't be too late (promise me)
So I don't accidentally miss you on my way
Now all I do (all I do)
All I do is wait

He gave the crowd a smile, reassuring them, telling them that he's okay, and that they shouldn't be worried. Tears are just tears.

"I'm waiting for you, wait
I'm waiting for you, wait
I'm waiting for you
You"

Like what the lyrics says, he would wait. No matter how long it takes. No matter how hard would be.

"nuni ol kkeot gateunde
neomu neujeumyeon an dwae
uriga mannaneun giri eotgalliji anke
Now all I do
All I do"

It looks like it could snow
You can't be too late (promise me)
So I don't accidentally miss you on my way
Now all I do (all I do)
All I do

He made a pause and finally had the chance to wipe his tears. He smiled and the crowd cheered. He strummed his guitar for the song's final lyrics.

"Oh all I do (All I do)
All I do
All I do
All I do is wait"

Although he won't say it, they knew that he dedicated this song to no other than Jung Eunmi.

He took a bow and everyone clapped. His friends that were seated on the front row stood up and clapped their hands, whistling, if they could. He left the stage to let the other performers have the spotlight.

His friends waited for him at the backstage and gave him a big hug.

"Yah, what the heck are you guys up to?" He asked and laughed.

"You idiot, why did you cry?!" Taeyong scolded.

He sighed and looked down, "The lyrics kinda hit me hard. It hurts but I can't do anything about it."
