A rainy day.
People passing me like I didn't exist. It wasn't like I cared anyway.
I didn't care for my existent either... but I did care for one person certainly...
Wearing my shoes I left the house hurriedly with my plain umbrella. I waited in the bus stop untill the bus came with full of people. With a sigh I got in and the dull daily routine began.
Same colleagues with their same fake smile to me. It was frustrating. Being treated like a human by them when they actually didn't wanted to care I existed.
I smiled back and Walked away.
That's what I'm best at.
Life's been the same. But something was missing.
It had been over three years.
I didn't wanted to remember all those days where I was really happy. With someone who wasn't alive. With someone who didn't existed just like Me.
A tear tried to escape but I wipe it off before sipping my coffe as bunch of files rests in front of me. The rain stopped but it was gonna rain again for sure. Maybe a little lightly.
With all the stressful same things, it was already afternoon. Today was my half day so I was happy I can leave early and go somewhere.
My feets worked fast as I reached the place I wanted for a long time. A smile crept my lips as I walked and walked finally reaching my destination.
I kneeled down and held a flower in my hand.
"How are you tae?" I said before I felt my eyes already wet.
"Are you fine? Didn't you miss me? I didn't at all for your information" I chuckled as the flower shook as well in my hand.
"Life's been same. Nothing new. By the way I was promoted, that's why all those so called colleagues were faking it again with me. Selfish world"
"But I'm fine. Just a little lonely"
"Anyway I gotta return soon so... I've to leave. Don't miss me okay?" And with that I placed the flower over his graveyard.
Tears started to form again in my eyes but this time I didn't cry hardly. It had been three years since he left me.
Everyday I would wait for him in the same balcony as the clock strike 5 AM but he never showed up. Not even once.
It felt like he didn't exist ever at the first place.
I tried to forget him and conceal Myself saying that it was a mare dream. A dream which kept me happy.
But I couldn't believe that.
After some sobs I started to wipe them when someone called out for me from behind.
"Umm miss?" I turned around seeing a middle aged man.
"Yes?"
"Why are you here?" I had stand up by then.
"Umm just wanted to visit my... close one's grave..."
I expected a simple "oh" or a nod but in exchange it was something unexpected.
"Who's grave? There's no one's grave here yet ma'am."
And it made me too much shock that I couldn't even process properly.
I was sure it was taehyung's grave. The homeowner had said it by himself.
"W-what? No it's Kim taehyung's grave."
"I'm sorry ma'am but there's no grave for someone named Kim Taehyung " I was dumbfounded by the man's words.
How was it possible?
"How can it be? It's kim taehyung's grave!"
"Ma'am I'm a guard here for over 20 years. There wasn't any grave for anyone named Kim taehyung ever." I was so shocked that I placed my hand on my mouth.
I came here for a thousand of times but no one said this earlier.
"Then when I kept came here for the past three years, why didn't you tell me it back then?"
"Sorry ma'am but I didn't see you here before, it's getting late. You should leave now" and with that the guard left leaving Me all dumbfounded.
I couldn't still believe what He said and I can't simply. Maybe he was lying? But why would he?
And then I remembered The homeowner. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number.
"Hello?"
"Hello Y/N!"
"Aunty... i had something to ask.."
"Go on dear"
"Did you give me the wrong address of Kim Taehyung's graveyard?"
"Kim taehyung who?" And I was taken aback again.
"Kim taehyung! Your previous tenant!"
"What are you saying Y/N? There is no one named Kim taehyung who lived in my house."
"W-what? Umm o-okay. Maybe I mistook. Bye aunty"
"Bye dear"
I massaged my temple in pure confusion. What is happening now? Why nobody recognizes taehyung?
It felt like he never existed.
All of this is so confusing and I can't take it. Maybe I was hallucinating all these days? Then what about the past days when the guard didn't say anything to me or the homeowner who gave me this very address?
What is happening for real?
I sighed and dragged myself to the bus stop. And when I got down the rain started again.
A little lightly but enough for me to catch a cold.
I looked for my umbrella but I couldn't. Oh crap I forgot it in the office! I stomped my foot on the ground as I groaned lightly.
People guarded them from the rain with the umbrella on their head. Like it was gonna guard them for forever.
Everyone had a guard.
But I didn't.
Rain was getting heavy as each minute passed. I stare at the rain drops falling on the street splashing it everywhere.
Rain also attacked My body but again I had no guard or guardian.
Tears escaped as my gaze fixed on the road. I remember all those days. Days spent with taehyung.
Now he don't even exist.
The weather smelled like rain as it got cold eventually. People didn't even care to leave a glance at me. And again I didn't care.
The rain didn't stop and it made me irritated. So I decided I'll walk home in this weather cause why not?
And after taking one step....
I didn't feel the rain on my head like it should.
And when I looked up, I saw...
An umbrella guarding me.
And when I turned around to see the actual gurdian, I stood froze as my eyes never leaving the person.
"T-Tae?"
"Missed me?" He says with the same smile.
