Hello, GoodBye (one shot story based on M.I.B song under same name)

I can’t see anything, I can’t hear anything
Not any scent, not any sweet or bitter taste
Now I can’t feel anything

It was a clear vivid memory, like it was occurring in front of their eyes.

Encounters and farewells always repeat
Hannam-dong was always our late night date course
Only after the streetlights turn off and morning comes
I fall asleep – please stop torturing me now
I wish you felt lonely too
I throw away all of our memories in the wastebasket
Will this winter ever turn to spring?

A clear morning he woke up first and started to prepare the coffee, then she woke up wearing one his shirts walked to the living room, looked at the window and sited on the window frame observing the cars go by, he walked towards her with a cup of coffee, she took it and gave sip to it, he came closer to her and deposited a soft kiss in her lips while she put her arms around his neck.

And I wonder, are you out there?
And you out doing the same thing?
What I’d give to have you closer
For you, I would give anything

Looking at the mug of coffee in her hands that memory disappeared, a painful expression on her eyes, it didn’t matter how long those memories seemed to want to fade away. She stands up without finishing her coffee, took her handbag the keys and went out.

Do you ever think about, ever think about me
I’ve cried because of you, I’ve cursed at you out of longing too
Do you ever think about, ever think about me
How could you leave me without any tears?

Looking at the window while stuck on the traffic he had the same memory, the frustration was drawn on his face, the light went green and the cars started to advance.

You and I always picked out our ending
The wedding dress and tuxedo, the girl who would get the bouquet
Was all of that just a dream for me?

While sitting on the subway a publicity of wedding draws her attention, again another memory started to arise.

No one comes to this empty house and it is gone with the wind
Hello and bye, looking for you ma
We always got a regular size coffee with just the right amount of syrup
Enjoyed omelette rolls and cheese ramen
It may have seemed plain but our love was full of meaning
Walking together it was one of their many dates, she stops to look at the window of one of the shops, rings…a sweet smile on her face was drawn, he looks at her, he couldn’t smile.

“There is no need for rings for us, isn’t quite lame?”

She doesn’t say a word she was quite disappointed, she walks ahead.

What can’t I say with words about us? My stopped heart is shopping now
A ball that is thrown by a foolish man can’t fly high
Yes, when I knew the person, my love was a fail
But when I knew love, having the person was a fail

When she comes back to reality she was in a meeting, how come all that time she was thinking about her memory? Her boss talking with security and confidence, she admired him in that aspect but for the first time her memories were so strong that was not able to focus.

And I wonder, are you out there?
And you out doing the same thing?
What I’d give to have you closer
For you, I would give anything

He standing in his office holding a ring in his hand, yes he had the same memory. How could he keep focusing in such a state? He put the ring in his pocket, grabbed his jacket and left the office.

Do you ever think about, ever think about me
I’ve cried because of you, I’ve cursed at you out of longing too
Do you ever think about, ever think about me
How could you leave me without any tears?

It was raining out there; the drops hitting the window from the car gave the feeling of melancholy around him, while waiting for green light another memory arises.

I wander around, looking for you, who left me without any tears
I’m a fool, wandering on this night street when I can’t see you
I want to run into you but honestly, I have no courage

It was the goodbye… he stubbornly didn’t gave the right sings to her, was it fear? He just wanted to keep her next to him but because of fear he kept pushing her away. She without being able to understand felt lonely and that she was the only one who had feelings, another discussion lately  were one fight after another one, he trying to hold onto her hand she furious let go of his hand and left his place and never came back, it was over…

When I see myself like this, I curse

He arrives to her place, parks nearby and doubts about going out or not.

Please stop torturing me now, I wish you felt lonely too

She coming back home walking while holding her umbrella, the memories were so strong, that her heart was racing.

Please stop torturing me now, I wish you felt lonely too

“What will happen if I see him again?” she thought

Hello Goodbye Hello Goodbye

Going up the stair in the building, then trying to find the keys on her handbag in front of her door, she opens and throws the handbag on top of the table then takes off her coat and throws it on top of the couch, her mind kept thinking about him, it was so strong, she looks at the window, a familiar shadow but she turns away then her breath stopped turns away facing the window and it was his figure there standing under the rain and it seemed he was looking up, with no thinking she runs out, the elevator was too slow she runs down the stairs.

And I wonder, are you out there?
And you out doing the same thing?
What I’d give to have you closer
For you, I would give anything

He was standing there, the drops were falling on him, he looked at her window but could not see her, he was doubting, should he go there knock at her door or should he just leave, while thinking he sees a girl running out of the building, she looked in every direction and then both meet each other’s eyes, she runs towards him and him in trance just walks towards her, both meet, she looks at him full of hopes while he looks at her with regret.

Do you ever think about, ever think about me
I’ve cried because of you, I’ve cursed at you out of longing too
Do you ever think about, ever think about me
How could you leave me without any tears?

“Why did you come?” she asks

He couldn’t say a word; he put his hand in his pocket and then showed to her, it was a ring

Her eyes wide open; she takes it and puts it in her finger

“I was just a coward, would you forgive me?”

She nodded with her head, tears wanted to come from her eyes “ I never wanted to say bye to you”

“Me neither” he replies

“Then hello again”

He smiles and pulls her towards him, holding her tight in his arms; she looks up and meets his eyes, a soft kiss under the rain.

PS: what is in red is the translation of the song,what is on black  is the story. I just like to mix the song with the story.
