"This must be our happiest moment."   "We're the happiest?" He laughed in disbelief.   "I know it's kind of weird, don't you think?"   "...yes." yeah."   Silence again. Breath more steadily taken.   "Please music."   The first knock fell and a suitable grin adorned their lips. They sing to each other happily, remembering the time they spent together - the good and the bad.   "Sooyoung, you're a great singer!" He switched parts to make her smile once more.   A high-pitched laughter resounded throughout the room. "Thul? I'm also not bad at knocking, "he's playing together.   "Thank you?"   "You don't know?"   They're halfway through the song. It was only a minute until the end that no one saw coming.   "Then can I hear you rap?"   Laughter again. "Don't fall in love with me."   Too late for that.   He smiled at her efforts, continuing to support her. This was their first and last appearance as a couple, but they showed how well they went together - with ease in harmony. They should always have been.   He stood up, offering his hand. His smaller hands slipped into his hands; fitting once. He helped her up and there they stood face to face, singing their hearts. All the emotions they wanted to convey were conveyed through music, lyrics, and vague hand-drawn wrists.   It was almost sad - the way their refreshing song described their feelings at the right moment. A young love in which both are just beginning to get to know and understand each other, day after day.   "Young Love" they both sing. Sungjae held out that last note and Sooyoung followed in his footsteps, something that had just been learned.   Waving to the camera with one hand and holding each other with the other, the two thanked everyone for their support happily. With the final arc, the director called the cut and thanked the cast and crew for working hard.   And there he is. The end of Yook Sungjae and Joy.   With her fingers still intertwined, she led him down the stage stairs. Sungjae could feel Sooyoung's nails being dug into his skin, her hands clutching him tightly. He was reluctant to let go, but not before pulling him close to whisper in his ear. "Meet me later, at the river?" He's nodding.   Sungjae's manager pulled him away from him while firing off his brief pleasantries. He exited the auditorium first, his head constantly turning around to check on him. "Go," his mouth, shot a tired smile at him before he escaped from his sight.

His manager wrapped around the jacket to cover it and keep it warm. But this warmth was not the kind he was looking for. She craves a different kind, the kind that will help her feel at home. The manager escorts her to their van and turns on the radio, deciding to keep quiet, knowing that the girl is still sensitive.   He looked out to find a starless sky and enlarged, opaque city lights.   The quiet ride home was cut short by her soft voice coming from the back of the car. Sooyoung asked her manager for attention. "Can you take me to the river?"   His manager glanced at the back seat. "Sooyoung ..." the older man started out, disliking the idea of leaving a heartbroken young girl alone at a time like this.   "I just need air, I'll be fine" Sooyoung replied. He pushed, “You know the place. You'll know where to find me. " He fiddled with his sleeves, a nervous flea that he could not avoid. Sungjae would always pay attention and grab his hand so that he could mess with his hand. But he wasn't there, not this time.   Not wanting to disappoint the disappointed girl, her manager did as she pleased. It's not unusual to see a girl like this - down and blue. But this is also the stubborn yet happy-go-lucky girl who always wears her sleeves.
