jiseok sat on his bed in the barracks, staring at the empty space in his bag where your bracelet had once been. it had been with him every day since you gave it to him, a small, simple token, but to him, it was everything. he had promised to always keep it safe, to always keep you close, no matter how far apart you were. but now, with only a few days left before he returned home, he couldn’t find it. panic began to settle in as his mind raced. where could it have gone?

he’d searched through his bag again and again, feeling each item in the hopes of finding that familiar weight. but it wasn’t there. the bracelet—your bracelet—was missing. he could hear your voice in his head, your smile as you handed it to him. “for when you miss me,” you had said. it had meant everything to him, and now, he couldn’t even remember the last time he had seen it. had he lost it somewhere along the way? his fingers trembled as he ran through his memories, trying to piece together the last time he had it, but everything felt fuzzy.

the realization hit him like a ton of bricks. “what if it’s gone for good?” he thought. what if he could never hold it again? the thought of losing it, of losing a part of you, hurt more than anything. the bracelet was a physical reminder of your love, a connection that kept him grounded during his long days away. without it, he felt more distant, more uncertain. he couldn’t let that happen. he had to find it, no matter what.

jiseok sat on the floor, the weight of the situation finally settling in. he stared at the empty space where the bracelet should have been, the silence around him thick with anxiety. “i can't lose this.” not like this. he thought. his heart tightened at the idea of letting you down. he didn’t know what he would do if he couldn’t find it. the bracelet was gone, and with it, his only reminder of you while he was so far away. he closed his eyes, hoping that somehow, he would find it soon.
