(Flashback of New Year's Eve)
I blinked. Rays of golden sunlight were peeking through the gaps of the curtains in my room. Huff,morning already?Aish..I was too lazy to get up,but eventually I did. I shoved the curtains aside and looked outside. The world was a blanket of white. Snowflakes,like sprinkles,drifted slowly to the ground. I leaned on the windowsill and watched as 2 bunnies were playing in the snow. Then I felt my phone vibrate. I checked it. It was a text from Minhyuk.
"Morning you;) Go downstairs to the kitchen. I left you something. Sarangahae."
"How do you know I just woke up?"
"Hey,is that really important right now? Just go downstairs now,ppali. Annyeong"
I stared at the screen of my phone. Minhyuk never cuts a conversation with me. This was really weird. I slipped the phone into my pocket and ran downstairs to see what Minhyuk had left for me.Eomma was already waiting for me in the kitchen,blocking the way to the dining hal. When she saw me she smiled.
"Minhyuk made it for you this morning. Isn't he sweet? Eat up sweetheart!"
"Min..Minhyuk?! You mean he cooked this here??! Why didnt you wake me up?!"
Mom just shrugged and left. I walked over to the table. Minhyuk made heart shaped waffles,eggs,and beef bacon. There was also a glass of orange juice and milk and a mug of coffee. Minhyuk was a great cook. I started eating my meal then noticed a box placed near my chair. I opened it. Inside was a cute white sweater with the words "I'm His" on it. There was also a note that read"Wear it tonight arraseo? Saranghae" I finished my breakfast and went upstairs to text him.
"Oppaya are you trying to make me fat??"
":) See you tonight"
I sat down on my bed and stared out the window. Oppaya...what is up with you?

(Continue Flashback,Minhyuk POV)
I turned my phone off and ran my fingers through my hair. I got up and walked to the window. Park Jiyeon. That's all that's ever been on my mind ever since I met her. Nothing else mattered. She is my everything. I didn't want to lose her. Never in my life would I dream of letting her go. I would do everything in my power to protect her. I glanced at the picture frame hanging on the wall next to the window. It was our first anniversary picture. Jiyeon was in mid laugh,in my arms. Her brown hair was loose and made her face glow ever more beautifully.
"Jiyeon-ah,saranghae." I said softly, touching the photo. What will happen tonight? Will I be able to tell her? Anger and confusion welled up inside of me. All I could do was cry. It wasn't manly but even a guy has feelings,right?

(Jiyeon POV)
I looked at my reflection in the window. My hair was pulled back and braided. The white sweater was really cute and flattered my skin. Minhyuk really is the perfect boyfriend. He's caring,sweet,loving,understanding,handsome,a cook,smart,and can choose the right clothes for his girl. I heard Minhyuk's car pull up in the driveway. I grabbed my coat and ran downstairs. I said goodbye to Eomma and went outside. Minhyuk was wearing his glasses tonight, which made him exceptionally adorable. He was wearing casual clothes but he totally pulled it off. I smiled when I saw him and hugged him,but for some reason he wouldnt meet my eyes. He opened the door for me. We drove in silence. Something is definitely wrong with him. He's usually really talkative. We stopped in front of a bakery.
"Sweet Delights Bakery??" I asked.
"I just want to buy some coffee." He said,still not looking at me. We got out of the car and bought some coffee and cakes. Then went back to the car. We drove to a park we usually went to in the summer. It was nice in the summer,but in the winter night it was cold and dark,only street lamps made the place light up. We chose a spot near the lake and drank our coffee silently.
"Oppa..kwaenchana?"
"Jiyeon-ah...do you love me?"
"Of course I do! Why do you suddenly.."
"Ask? What would you do if I had to leave you?" He asked. I stayed quiet.
"I...I..."
"Jiyeon-ah,I'm leaving for America tomorrow. Mianhae."
"America..?? Why didn't you tell me this sooner??"
"I couldnt bring myself up to talk about it...Jiyeon-ah jeongmal mianhae. Abeoji wants me to come with him. He said I could be a drummer. He said he wanted me to be one. I tried refusing but it was no use. Mianhae."
I looked at him. His eyes were starting to get watery.
"How..how long will you be gone?"
"I don't know. Abeoji said it will be for around 3 years but he might extend his contract. I promise I'll come back Jiyeoni..Will you wait for me?"
I didnt answer. The thought of not having Minhyuk beside me for 3 years was...devastating. I couldnt think straight. I hugged him.
"I'll wait for you oppaya. I'll wait for you until the day I die."
"Jiyeon-ah..saranghae."
"Nado oppaya."
We held hands,talked and watched the fireworks the rest of the night. We took a few selcas. I cherished every last moment with him. I loved him so much. I will wait for him till the end of time. At 00.00 we watched the final fireworks show and got up to go back home. As we walked Minhyuk pulled me and kissed me. It was a sad kiss. A goodbye kiss. But I hope it wouldn't be the last. As we drove home we wouldnt look at each other. The pain was to great.
When we arrived at my house we looked at each other. Tears were trickling down my eyes. I opened the door to climb out but Minhyuk held my hand. I looked back.
"Saranghae Jiyeon-ah."
"Nado...Nado saranghae Minhyuk-ah."
