Hoseok and Y/n forged an unbreakable bond as childhood best friends. Their days were filled with laughter, mischief, and shared dreams of a future together. One fateful day, under the shade of an old oak tree, Hoseok made a promise to Y/n that they would marry each other when they would grow up.

Hoseok leaned against the trunk of the old oak tree, a mischievous grin lighting up his face. The golden rays of sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a warm glow on their youthful features.

"Y/n, no matter what lies ahead, when we grow up, let's promise to marry each other. Let's create a love story that defies all odds. What do you say?" he proposed, his eyes shining with excitement.

Y/n's heart skipped a beat, her gaze locking with Hoseok's. A smile slowly formed on her lips, her eyes reflecting unwavering trust and affection.

"Oh, Hoseok, you always know how to surprise me! That's a promise I simply can't resist. Let's make this extraordinary promise, sealing it with our unbreakable bond," she replied, her voice filled with sincerity.

Their voices intertwined with the gentle breeze, their words carried beyond the boundaries of their childhood sanctuary. In that fleeting moment, amidst the rustling leaves and the symphony of birdsong, they embarked on a shared dream that held the promise of forever.

The scene unfolded with the colors of a radiant sunset, casting a golden hue on their intertwined destinies. Their eyes locked, conveying volumes in the silence that stretched between them. The weight of their promise hung in the air, a precious bond forged in the innocence of youth.

"Deal, Y/n. This promise will be etched in our hearts, guiding us through the unpredictable journey of life. Together, we'll weave a love story that surpasses all others," Hoseok declared, his grin widening as unwavering hope danced in his eyes.

"Yes, Hoseok. Side by side forever," Y/n responded, her smile mirroring his own, radiating unwavering commitment.

Their shared laughter rippled through the meadow, blending with the melodies of nature. In that fleeting moment, Hoseok and Y/n's bond solidified, an unspoken vow that would accompany them through the trials and tribulations of their intertwined destinies.

Y/n stood on the bustling street, her heart heavy with an impending goodbye. The wind carried the scent of distant lands, mingling with the sound of passing cars and hurried footsteps. It was a bitter day, one filled with the ache of separation.

Hoseok stood beside her, his eyes mirroring the sorrow etched across his face. He reached out and gently brushed a stray strand of hair behind Y/n's ear, his touch lingering with a mixture of tenderness and regret.

"Y/n, the time has come for us to part ways," Hoseok spoke softly, his voice barely audible over the cacophony of the city. "My family is moving to another country, and I have to go with them."

Y/n's eyes glistened with unshed tears as she clutched onto a pendant hanging around her neck—a small symbol of the promise they had made. The weight of their shared history and dreams bore down upon her, threatening to break her resolve.

"Promise me, Hoseok," she choked out, her voice trembling. "Promise me that no matter where life takes us, you'll remember our promise. Remember that we vowed to marry each other when we grow up and reunite."

Hoseok's gaze softened, his own tears shimmering in the corner of his eyes. He reached out and gently held Y/n's hands, the warmth of his touch offering a fleeting solace in the face of their imminent separation.

"I promise, Y/n," he whispered, his voice laden with both determination and a hint of melancholy. "I'll carry our promise in my heart, like a beacon guiding me back to you. No matter how far apart we are, our bond will endure."

They stood there, clinging to each other as if their embrace could defy the forces pulling them apart. Time seemed to slow, the bustling world fading into the background as they sought solace in each other's presence.

Y/n buried her face in Hoseok's shoulder, inhaling his familiar scent, committing it to memory. The weight of their unspoken words hung heavy in the air, an unbreakable thread that bound their souls.

"I'll miss you, Hoseok," Y/n murmured, her voice muffled against his shoulder. "Every day, I'll carry your memory with me."

Hoseok held her tighter, his grip a desperate attempt to hold onto the fleeting moments they had left. "I'll miss you too, Y/n. But remember, our promise will be the light that guides us back to each other."

With a heavy heart, they reluctantly pulled away from each other's embrace. Y/n watched as Hoseok's figure gradually faded into the distance, her heart aching with the pain of separation.

As he disappeared from sight, Y/n clutched the pendant around her neck, its delicate chain a tangible reminder of their faded promises. She whispered their shared vow to the wind, sending it as a silent prayer to the universe.

"Until we meet again, Hoseok," she whispered, her voice carrying a mix of hope and longing. "Our promise will endure, transcending time and distance."

15 years later

Hoseok stood before Y/n, their gazes locked in a bittersweet dance of nostalgia and longing. The weight of their shared memories hung heavily in the air, mingling with the faint scent of the past.

"I can't believe it's really you," Y/n whispered, her voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and joy. "After all these years, fate has brought us back together."

Hoseok smiled softly, his eyes tracing the contours of Y/n's face. "I've missed you more than words can express. So many nights, I found myself lost in memories of our childhood adventures."

Y/n's heart skipped a beat, a torrent of emotions flooding her being. "I've missed you too, Hoseok. You were my anchor, my confidant. Life felt incomplete without you."

As they stood there, the weight of their unspoken desires hung in the air, like delicate threads woven into a tapestry of unfulfilled dreams.

Hoseok's voice quivered with a mix of regret and longing. "Y/n, I wish things could have been different. I wish I had never let go of what we had."

"Y/n, I've made choices that I can't undo," Hoseok admitted, his voice filled with a mix of sadness and resignation. "What do you mean Hoseok?" A clueless Y/n asked.

He took a deep breath, searching for the right words to convey the bittersweet news that weighed heavily on his heart.

"Y/n, there's something I need to tell you," he began, his voice tinged with hesitation. "During my time in America, I met someone... her name is Mia."

Y/n's smile faltered, her heart sinking at the mention of Mia's name. She braced herself for the words she never thought she would hear, her mind racing to comprehend the sudden intrusion of another person into their once sacred bond.

"Mia...? What does this mean, Hoseok?" Y/n asked, her voice trembling with a mix of anticipation and fear.

Hoseok's expression turned pained, his eyes filled with regret. "We... we fell in love, Y/n. It wasn't something I expected, but she became a significant part of my life."

Y/n's heart shattered into a thousand pieces, the realization of her unrequited love crashing over her like an unrelenting wave. Her voice trembled as she struggled to find the right words amidst the storm of emotions raging within her.

"I... I see," she managed to whisper, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm glad you found happiness, Hoseok. That's all I ever wanted for you."

Hoseok reached out, his fingers gently brushing against Y/n's cheek, leaving a bittersweet trail of longing in their wake. His voice cracked with sorrow as he uttered the words he knew would inflict a deep wound on both their hearts.

"But, Y/n, there's something else... Mia and I... we're engaged. We're getting married in three months," he confessed, his voice heavy with a mixture of guilt and resignation.

Y/n's world came crashing down around her, the weight of the news leaving her feeling numb. Tears welled up in her eyes as she forced herself to meet Hoseok's gaze, her voice filled with a fragile blend of sorrow and acceptance.

"I never thought our paths would lead us here, Hoseok. I'm genuinely happy for you, even though it breaks my heart," she whispered, her voice laced with an unspoken plea for understanding.

As Mia stepped forward, a radiant smile gracing her features, Y/n's heart clenched with a mixture of pain and envy. She extended her hand in a forced gesture of politeness, her heart breaking with every fiber of her being.

"Hello, Mia. It's nice to meet you," Y/n forced herself to say, her voice betraying the heaviness in her soul.

Mia's smile widened, oblivious to the tumultuous emotions that simmered beneath the surface. "Likewise, Y/n. Hoseok has told me so much about you. I'm glad we can all share this special moment together."

Y/n nodded, a hollow ache settling within her chest. As she stood there, amidst the bitter reality of Hoseok's newfound love and impending marriage, her heart whispered a painful reminder of the promise they once made.

In the depths of her soul, Y/n clung to the fading echoes of their childhood vow, desperately hoping that one day their paths would realign, and their promise of a future together would be more than a wistful dream. But for now, she was left with a shattered heart and a silent longing that would endure long after the final chords of their shared symphony faded into the distance.
