You go back to rereading the questions the psychologist asked you to do, aware that the writing is more about him than your boyfriend, but at that moment you feel that all questions have only one answer: Lee Haechan, the answers are vague but neither you know how to stretch them more than that, you are aware that the psychologist is just doing her job but sometimes you think that you shouldn't talk so much about your problems to her, with patience always end up answering the questions, you're doing it for yourself and for Mark who always insisted that you should take better care of mental health and ended up recommending this psychologist. Mark is also the reason you're 3 hours on a cold subway bench in the middle of winter, all because he's taking an exam and begged you to wait for him to go home together.
The subway at this time is very busy, full of people with different concerns and lives, business people, students even eldery people are filling the subway station, you walk the station from one end to the other evaluating the avalanche of people arriving and disappears in the middle of the subway, a boy passes in front, wearing a huge red hoodie that hides his hands and his face with a baseball hat, leaving only a few strands of golden brown wavy hair exposed, he passed quickly and you freeze for a few seconds- it's him, the hoddie, the hair, it's really him.
Suddenly everything made sense in your head, it was Lee Haechan, not a similar person, but himself, you get up hurriedly, dropping the pencil you were using to fill in the form, and advance through the crowd to try to find the person who ruined you.
Lee Haechan, the boy with the wavy golden brown hair and tan skin that glowed in the sun, the boy who destroyed you.
You and Haechan have known each other since you were little, living in a small city, all the children played together until night, there are many memories of you and Haechan playing together in the sandbox, always competing to build the biggest castle or make the most beautiful sculpture, he always spent a lot of time with you, going to your house, stealing cookies and watching television. This complicity grew until teenagers, there was something more than a friend who played with the sandboxes, he was more than that. But obviously as almost all childhood relationships you guys ended up distancing, at that time you had just entered high school and Haechan found comfort in the group of popular people who sat in the back and made jokes, you however remain quiet and applied in your studies , Lee Haechan hasn't talked to you since the beginning of the school year not even when his mother came to your house to tell the latest gossip she had heard to your mother, he preferred not to go or when he did he stayed on the phone instead of talking to you.
Lee Haechan only started talking to you when on a field trip he ended up losing his friends and seeing that you were alone sat next on the bench, Haechan sat right at the end of the bench while you stood at the other end looking forward so as not to make eye contact with him.
How have you been? It was his first question, only a barely audible sound came out of you, he shut up and became like that for a while until he spoke again โ you have been in my class for a while but I never talk to youโ and he continue โDo you remember when weโฆโ Haechan reminded you of many things you did together, it helped you talk more and feel more comfortable with his presence.
After the conversation that lasted a long time, your relationship started to improve a lot again, Haechan that day sat next to you on the bus, and then went back to being next to you in the classroom and during breaks, he no longer spend several times with his friends to be with you because of this rumors started to surface that you would be a couple, Haechan just shook her head and denied it, but your heart beat faster whenever someone spoke of both as a couple.
Haechan was your first disappointment, you never believed there was such a heartache until he invited another colleague to the spring ball and not you, maybe it was your fault, you probably had too much expectation that this would happen, half the fault was your colleagues who always said that.
You thought he was going to ask , but when that afternoon, he went to the other corner of the class and asked the other girl, you couldn't hide your astonishment and disappointment and honestly even the colleagues were disappointed.
After the spring ball , you distanced yourself from Haechan again, of course you responded if he asked anything, but nothing more, always tried to change your lunch location and pack up as quickly as possible to leave. Your efforts were useless until the day Haechan managed to catch up with you outside of school. โIs something wrong? Did I did something wrong?" he asked, you don't answer, just walking forward ignoring him, he goes back to you, repeating "Did I did something wrong?" you go around him again, but then he grabs your arm and pulls you back, you were so fed up with him that you explode with him, end up throwing in his face the fact that you two have grown apart, the fact that he is a idiot, in short you ended up insulting him in several ways.
โI like youโ Haechan says as you recover from your outburst, โI have liked you for a long time.
โStop it Lee Haechan, I donโt feel like playing aroundโ
"I'm serious, can you give me a chance?" His eyes sparkled and the warm spring sun kissing his face.
And you agreed, what could you do? Reject the boy who looked at you with dog eyes asking for a chance?. That was your biggest mistake.
Daisies was Haechan's trademark, he was always drawing them, Haechan lives only with her mother, his alcoholic father died several years ago, after his death they moved into a smaller house which they covered in daisies, when you asked why he loves them he simply said he does because his mother loves them and he was influenced. Haechan always brought you a daisy, putting it in your hair.
Your relationship with Haechan was normal, obviously there were fights especially because Haechan is so stubborn, but besides that you both loved each other very much, he was everything you wanted and you already imagined a whole life with him. With the boy who loved daisies.
Haechan and his mother were always very close, he always depended on her as she was the one who raised him while his father was drowning in drinks, his mother was sick but she never told Haechan until the day of his death. That day Haechan didn't go to school, you were confused when entered the room already late and didn't see the brown haired boy next to you, in the middle of class you heard a murmur from the group in the back "Haechan's mother died" , when you heard it, you didn't believe it at first, but there was something inside you that said it was weird, texting him asking if everything was ok, you couldn't lessen the anxiety inside. At break you called him, but your cell phone is off, you then ran to his house, getting there you find a crowd of people in front, the door is open and it seems that there are more people inside, you enter in the middle of the crowd but didn't found him, he's probably in his favorite spot, on top of a plain looking at the city.
You head to this place, Haechan was there, he didn't notice until you sat next to him, "Is it true?" you ask just that, he takes a while to answer continuing to look at the city, โwhat am I supposed to do now?โ you don't answer, honestly you don't know what's the best answer to give, you and he are just admiring the sun going to sleep and the moon waking up again, "Come on, I'll take you home" Haechan says for the first time in some time, he took you home but didn't say goodbye with a kiss on the cheek and a smile like he always does, just goodbye.
You text him again at night, again he doesn't respond.
The next day, haechan doesn't return to school and in the face of your classmates' questions about your condition you don't say anything, you don't know, you go by his house after classes to find everything closed, you ring the bell, but no one answers, you call him and you also got no answer. You go home, luckily no one was there, you go to your room and there is a note on your bed, it smells of fragrant daisies and you can guess who it is, it's his handwriting.:
This isn't where I belong. Is time for the daisies to wilt.
Haechan never showed up at school again, none of his friends know about him, Haechan never went to buy ice cream on Fridays, never watered the daisies again, the name Lee Haechan disappeared from town.
The daisies wilted until Mark Lee appearedโฆ.
