Work Text:
The soft sound of my laughter echoes through my mind — when we were little, you were always following me around. It was cute, actually.
I would pick fake flowers for Sua and you thought I liked them, so you would pick them for me.
I was too young and maybe too in love — with someone else — to realize what your true intentions were, but it doesn't matter.
You are my best friend, now and always.
That's why I rushed to see you. I wondered if you'd be sad that I cut the hair you complimented every day, or if you'd continue to compliment it like nothing changed.
In the moment I saw you on the screen, I felt relieved. But also sad, that meant Ivan had lost.
"Lost" is a strong word, I'm sure he wanted you to win the stage. That's something crazy people would do.
I should have done that, in round 1.
I saw your tired eyes, Luka wasn't helping a lot too. And Hyuna was hurt.
I was sure you were going to win...but just in case.
Just in case.
I wanted to see you.
Hyuna warned me. Maybe I would alarm every alien there, since I was missing for a long time. But I didn't care. You were more important at that moment. We came all the way here to save you, after all.
I confidently made it inside the venue, with the hood over my head to not be recognized.
But of course you could tell who I was from afar.
The smile in your eyes and mouth made me so happy. Everything was going to be okay. You rushed over to me.
And that's when I remembered. Nothing really changed from back then. We were laughing together after making fun of some stupid alien, just like we're doing now.
But the difference is, when we were together, we were never caught. I always managed to run with you.
However, this time was different.
It was so fast. I remember seeing you smile.
I never looked away from you.
And just like her,
In a blink you were gone.
