Alive

The young man walked up to Zhixian slowly, pushed away the luggage cart in front of him, and stared deeply into the girl's eyes with a smile.In the hustle and bustle of the airport, the tall boy leaned over slightly, the beautiful girl raised her head slightly, and their eyes intertwined, like the most static time and space in the downtown, beautiful and picturesque.

Vincent stretched out his hands and hugged the long-lost girl into his arms, "Long time no see. Also, I miss you." The moment he was embraced, Zhixian's mind went blank.In my ear is the murmur of the former lover who is still as mellow as a cello, and the breath is full of the aroma of the wine I have owned, and the familiar temperature as always.

Yes, long time no see.How long has it been since I thought of you?Memories that have been forgotten are revived at this moment.Like a timeless old movie, slowly playing in my mind, one scene after another.

It is you who accompany me to stroll along the left bank of the Seine and drink coffee leisurely.The person who accompanied me to laugh and run in the valley full of lavender and sunflowers like an oil painting, breaking the tranquility of heaven, is you.The person who accompanied me barefoot on the coast of Nice and let the sea beat the soles of my feet is you.It is you who accompany me to take the train to leave a mark in every corner of Europe and appreciate Frankfurt's historic railway station together.The one who makes the best food for me with Sicilian lemons is you.It is you who accompany me to look up at the sky of Munich and shed tears with me.

You are the one who accompany me to appreciate the greenery in late spring, you are the one who accompany me to watch the tide in midsummer, you are the one who treasures every beautiful red leaf for me in late autumn, and you are the one who gently tie me a soft woolen scarf in early winter .

Once, every corner and every page of memory in my world was our warmth.However, you said that in your world, you cannot live without dreams, and your hands cannot give up the brush.So I leave in tears, set you free, set me free.We are all people who yearn for freedom, even if we are in love, we also want to fly.At that time, did you also feel that your wings could not bear the weight of one more me?It’s not that I didn’t see your hesitant expression, it’s not that I didn’t hear your shout behind your back, it’s not that I didn’t feel your contradictions.Our worlds, as God intended, converge.

Unfortunately, the red line is too short.Wrapped around our little finger, but forgot to tie our feet.So, we pulled the red thread on our fingers, and gradually moved away, until the red thread in our hands couldn't stand the pull, and finally broke.

Why did it appear? In my world, the door that was once opened for you has long been closed, and layers of chains have been strengthened.You should not, should not appear in my world again, in any capacity.

Suppressing the beating heart at that moment, it returned to calm.Gently pushing away the warm embrace that hugged her, the nostalgia and pain in her eyes were already like the surface of a lake where pebbles were thrown, and after the waves surged, it returned to the peace like a mirror.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Pretending not to see Vincent was silent for a moment, his stiff arms still kept embracing, but the lover in his arms had already left.Dejectedly lowering his arms, he forced a smile at his friend's worried eyes.

"Franois, I've already booked a hotel for you. Go to the hotel first to clear up the jet lag, and I'll take you out to play tomorrow." Trying to ignore the following eyes all the time, he said to his friend with a smile.

"Is it just a hotel? I thought you would let me experience the Korean lifestyle and enter your living space." Pretending not to notice the turbulent undercurrent between the two, Franois said mischievously.

"I'm sorry, I'm living with my brothers now, so it's inconvenient to rent out my room. To be precise, there are no vacant rooms." He smiled and patted François on the head and explained.

"Brothers? Violete, I remember you only have one brother?" Vincent also returned to his usual gentle look, as if nothing had happened.

"It is true that there is only one older brother. But my older brother is debuting now, and the other four are his teammates. To me, they all take good care of my older brother. By the way, I am currently working as their assistant, so I need together all the time."

"So, what about your photography work?" François asked curiously after initially understanding the situation.

"Ah, I will not give up photography, just like Vincent will not give up painting." My love for photography is just like Vincent's love for painting, so we both chose to give up each other.It's not because I don't love, but because there is something more loving that can't be replaced.

Seemingly understanding Zhixian's unfinished sentence, Vincent drew a small arc bitterly.

It was already half past midnight when we arrived at the reserved hotel, and after helping the two men arrange everything, Zhixian said that he needed to go home: "Okay, you guys rest first, I'm going home, otherwise brother will be worried, Call me when the time difference is adjusted tomorrow."

Of course, brother and so on are just excuses, after all, he has already reported the possibility of not returning home at night.Originally, Zhixian planned to have a good chat with his old friends and have a drink by the way (Jixian, who ignores the ban on drinking alcohol under the age of 20 in Korea, no one stipulates that drinking must go to bars, right?), but now, Zhixian doesn’t Make sure that you can face this lover you once loved deeply in complete peace.Therefore, it is better to give each other more time.Maybe, when he woke up, he found that everything was a dream, and there was no disturbing Vincent at all?

"So, sweet dream. I'll go first."

Zhilong who was very surprised by Zhixian's return in the middle of the night asked: "Why are you back at this time? Didn't you say that you won't come back when you are with friends?" Different from Zhilong's surprise, Cui Shengxian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, they just came from France and needed to adjust the time difference, so I came back first." Putting down the handbag at the entrance, he replied while changing his slippers.

"They?" Seungri, who was playing games, looked back at Zhixian with interest, he was always interested in meeting more friends.

"Franois and Vincent, they are both friends I met in France. Franois studies philosophy, as for Vincent..." Zhixian thinks again, whether to tell the truth or to speak selectively.

It was this brief silence that made everyone feel extraordinary, and everyone wondered why Ji-hyun hesitated.

"Vincent is a painter, my former lover." After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth. After all, no matter how much he hides, he will know later. It is better to be honest from the beginning.Furthermore, Ji Hyun doesn't want to lie to his brother.

"Mo?" Five people were surprised.

After the shock, it was the sister-in-law's elder brother who was the first to calm down: "The ex-lover? That is to say, we have broken up? What did he do to you?" He had a fierce expression and fierce eyes.

"Brother, where are you thinking, he didn't do anything to offend me. We broke up peacefully." For his brother who said "If he dares to do something to offend you, I will immediately avenge you", Zhixian felt Some warm, but also feel a little funny.

"Because each other has more important things to pursue, so we decided to let go and give each other freedom." An understatement explained.

But Zhilong found his sister struggling a little, and hugged her comfortingly: "If you still love him, go after him. Even if I think you are too young, you are not the age to fall in love. But if you really like him , Brother also supports you." Your caring elder brother.

"I have decided not to love."
