Chapter 1: A Message from the Past
It was raining heavily when she picked up her phone and noticed a message from an unknown number.
She opened it.
Unknown Number: "You finally forgot me... didn't you?"
She stared at the screen for a moment before locking her phone. Slowly, she looked up at the sky.
Sometimes, it's easy to forget things we never thought we'd forget. But it's almost impossible to forget something we've always tried to forget.
And just like that, time went back two years.
Two Years Ago
It was a beautiful day on a school campus. Two college students, dressed in their uniforms, stood together, talking.
The Girl: "You know what? You'll probably forget about me in a few days."
The Boy: "That would never happen."
The Girl: "Well, okay. If not in a few days, then perhaps next year."
The Boy: "I told you, I won't. Not even after years."
She smiled.
The Girl: "Okay, we'll see then."
Months Later...
The school campus was filled with laughter during the break. Students chatted with their friends, enjoying their time together.
Among them was a group of girls, laughing as they walked down the corridor.
Just then, he passed by her from the other side, with another girl beside him.
They were both busy living their own lives, walking past each other like two strangers who knew everything about one another.
And perhaps, that's how some stories end—not with a goodbye, but with silence.
