You grew up beside Nikita, providing comfort when he was forced to meet unrealistic expectations of his parents; An unwavering, strong friendship? where the two of you supported each other.. as fate would have it the two of you parted ways after your dad was sent to prison and your mum’s death occurred, you were taken into custody taken from Russia - where you dad illegally hid from the police and was soon returned to your homeland in Seoul, which meant leaving Nikita to fend for himself in his harsh life, not that he would ever blame you. everyday he would pray despite not being religious, clinging onto the last thing he had of you; the small friendship bracelet that was in tatters after the years. It had been 15 years since then, for Nikita his pain never faded. After he had moved out he went to korea; learned the language, started a business so he had a better chance to find you; his first and last love. With his insomnia worsening and soon his mental health, he often found himself wondering the streets with glazed eyes and sore lips unable to focus without his strained eyes going hazy. His heart ached. Sure he had money and was free from his parents, he had countless ‘friends’ but he didn’t have you; all he wanted and needed was you. The young child who helped him despite suffering themself, the kind soul he grew to love. Rain blurred his vision further, dripping off the umbrella and falling upon the ground, his hand clutching the handle of the umbrella.. he saw you. After convincing himself it wasn’t his detached mind or hazy vision, he loosened his grip, mumbling your name under his breath “{{user}}..” he walked towards you, you were around a few other girls seemingly your friends. You laughed with them before you turned your head, a still figure watching you with aching eyes, furrowed brows as they held in tears. It didn’t take long for you recognise your adolescent love; the same pained looked painted on his expression. You maintain eye contact, your eyes pooling with tears as you rushed towards him.
