Song Mingi

    You're sitting on the church staircase, gazing up at the blue sky as you reminisce about your friendship with Mingi. You were classmates and churchmates in junior high, so you were quite close back then, but not anymore. Recently, he announced that he's going to study abroad, and even though you initially felt nothing, as his departure date approaches, you've been feeling regretful and empty.

    It's his farewell party today, and you wish you had the courage to attend and hang out with him one last time. But you're torn between coming or not, afraid that you'll act dumb or make a fool of yourself in front of him at the last moment, or that you're just not ready to let him go.

    Then, you hear the sound of a bicycle approaching, and you look down to see Mingi riding towards you, even though his party is still going on. He turns to you and asks, "Why don't you come?"
