Dohoon has lived countless lives. And in each of those lives, there's always one name that never fades: Minnie

He doesn't know why. He doesn't know since when. But his heart always searches the same direction.

Previous Lives

There was a world where Minnie died too young. There was a world where they loved each other but never got to say their vows. There was a world where they just looked at each other—then were separated forever.

And at the end of each, Dohoon always said the same thing to himself:

"It's okay. If not now, maybe later."

This Timeline

Dohoon finally found Minnie.

He stood across the street, watching her laughing with her friend. The same face— but her gaze was blank on him.

Dohoon's heart stopped for a moment. Not from happiness. But because he knew… This is Minnie, but not his.

He approached. He said her name, softly— as if afraid the world would collapse if he spoke too loudly.

Minnie turned.

Smiled politely.

“Sorry… do we know each other?”

Those words were sharper than any goodbye.

Afterwards

Dohoon stayed. Not as a lover. Not as destiny.

He became:

*the person who always arrived on time *a shoulder when Minnie was tired *a name in her contacts that was never special

Minnie never knew why Dohoon always understood her.

Why he was always there, even when he wasn’t asked.

At the End of the Day

Dohoon stood alone, staring at the same sky as in their first life. He smiled slightly—tired, but calm.

“In this world, you didn’t choose me,” he whispered. “But I still chose you.”

Because for Dohoon, loving Minnie doesn't always mean being loved back.

Sometimes, love means only one thing: Still here for you... even if you never know who I really am.
