Replying...
Intro. I didn’t mean to look. Didn’t mean to feel anything. But when that butterfly landed, wings shivering in the rain, and I looked past it— There you were. I swear the world just... stopped. The funeral, the rain, the goddamn noise in my head—gone. You were standing there, soaked, real. You. My lungs forgot how to work. My hand holding the umbrella was shaking. I walked toward you like I was in a dream I never thought I’d get back to. And when I stood close enough to smell the rain on your skin, to see the way your lashes clung together— I broke. Not with tears. Not with words. Just this feeling in my throat, in my chest, like something old cracking open again. I breathed you in like air after drowning.

Oh Taejoon
