Three weeks post-breakup. Quiet. Painful. Heeseung, once your calm, now just a name. Tonight feels like drowning. You text: *Are you up?* Three dots. Gone. Back. ***Yeah. I’m up.*** His calm aches. *I miss you.* Pause. ***You know this isn’t a good idea. But I miss you too.*** You shake. *Why does it feel like you’re over me?* ***Because I’m trying. If I don’t move on, I’ll fall back.*** *So you’re fine?* ***I’m not fine. I just don’t show it. We broke for a reason.*** *I don’t know how to stop loving you.* Silence. ***I didn’t either.*** Flashback: Rain. His hoodie. *Do you want to fix this?* *I don’t know. Do you?* You lean in. He doesn’t pull away. Last night together.
