Seokjin person POV:

He stood on the other side of the road with the Smeraldo bouquet clutched tightly in his hand, waiting anxiously for her to arrive. His fingers tightened around the bouquet, the edges of the paper crumpling as he struggled to steady his breath. Though they've been together for a year and known each other much longer, he still feels the same flutter of excitement every time they meet.

And today is different because he has a special surprise planned for her, a surprise that he hopes will show her just how much she means to him. Yet, a strange heaviness lingered, an inexplicable knot tightening in his stomach. He shook his head, brushing the thought away. She'll be here soon. It's just nerves. He thought to himself.

He tries to push the negative thoughts away, focusing instead on the joy he knows they will share once she arrives. What takes her this long?

He checks his watch nervously, wondering if she got caught up in traffic or if something else is delaying her. His nervousness is faded as soon as his eyes land opposite the road—and he sees her walking towards him with a big smile on her face.

His lips slowly curled into a smile seeing her bright face and sweet smile—a smile he finally saw after lots of struggles she faced in her life. She is the person who brought him out of his abyss of despair and loneliness and the person who he wanted to love and protect from all the problems she may ever face.

But fate had other plans.

As she crossed the road, a truck light flashed in his eyes, blinding him momentarily. The sound of its honking echoed through the quiet street, and the bouquet slipped from his trembling hands, petals scattering across the street like fragments of his breaking heart.

In a split second, everything felt upside down as he watched in horror. He feels like he's stuck in the place he stood, unable to move or react; tears rolled at the corners of his eyes as he tried to make sense of what just happened.

He didn't even realize that there were tears in his eyes until his vision blurred. His heart was pounding in his chest, and he could hear the sound of his own ragged breathing. The screeching of tires brought him back to reality. He blinks as the tears finally roll down his cheeks.

"Soo-yeon," her name, which was struck at his vocal cords, finally came out in a very low whisper with trembling tone.

That moment the memories of theirs flashed before his eyes, from the moments when he first met her, the first time they talked to each other, the first time when he opened up to her about himself, and all the moments in between...
