    One Saturday as you were writing in your journal on a park bench, a boy walked nervously up to you with a small box in his hand. "N-noona...I really like you..." The boy said as he handed you the small box. As you opened the box, there was a small bracelet with your name on it. "You made this?" You asked the boy. "Y-yes.." You smiled lightly at the heartfelt gift knowing the boy put effort into making it. "I love the gift, don't get me wrong. But you're still in high school. Graduate, get your life together, and find out who you want to be then we can talk." The boys eyes lit up as a smile spread across his face before replying. "Ok! I'll be back in 4 years! Noona please wait for me!" The boy said before running off. Though you could tell the boy was very determined, you thought it was just a little crush and would fade away in time.

    4 years had passed and things were going pretty well. One Saturday, you sat down at your regular bench and started to write in your journal. As your were writing, a tall figure slowly came up to you, their figure towering above yours. "Still journaling noona?" The moment you heard the voice, something felt familiar about it. When you looked up, It was the boy. But not the high school boy you remembered. He was taller, more mature, and honestly just different. Different from the shy teenager you once knew.
