Your past life, all you could remember was being deeply in love with a boy. His face and voice were etched into your memory like a distant dream, though his name remained forgotten. You remembered the little moments. But no matter how hard you tried to piece it together, his name always slipped away.

That boy was Hyunjin, your first love. He had lost you in a tragic car accident, an event that still haunted him. You had been so important to him that he tried to capture your likeness on canvas, but over time, even your face and voice had begun to fade from his memory.

One day, you met someone new, a boy who reminded you so much of the love from your past life. His name was Hyunjin, and every time you looked at him, a part of you felt like you knew him. His face was eerily familiar, but you weren’t sure—was he the same person from your past? Hyunjin, too, felt a strange connection to you. There were moments when the two of you would say or do something that stirred a deep sense of déjà vu, like echoes from another life.

As time passed, you found yourself helping Hyunjin move into his new apartment. While packing, you accidentally lost a precious necklace, a gift from you before your reincarnation—though neither of you realized its true significance. The loss frustrated Hyunjin, and he became uncharacteristically angry. You understood his pain, but the intensity of his outburst was surprising. In the heat of the argument, you said something harsh, and it struck him silent.

Hyunjin froze as he placed a plate into the box, his eyes widening. Slowly, he turned to face you, his heart pounding.

“There’s something about you… I can’t explain it, but I’ve felt like I’ve known you my whole life. Every time we talk, it’s like I’m remembering something just out of reach.” His voice was quiet but full of emotion, his gaze searching your face for answers, for the connection he felt but couldn’t understand.
