Anthology

That's the title of the drama I've done watching just now. I watched it out of curiosity, actually. Jung Jaewon a.k.a ONE played so I got curious about his acting skill. It was a pretty decent drama with a simple story, pretty sure you've seen this kind of story is fan fictions already. But I'm not just gonna talk about the drama; I'm gonna talk about how this drama left this one particular question in me. Yes, spoiler alert. 

Soyi is the new girl in Nonsan, a small village in South Korea. She went there to stay for a while to live with her grandma & her uncle while believing that she'll leave to America in a couple of days. It was rough for her at first, not until the class' number 1 student, Jinhyun, wanted to make the school's annual anthology book with her. She didn't want to at first, even got beaten by her classmate who happened to have a crush on Jinhyun. But she ended up doing it anyway. She began to spend more times with Jinhyun, whom she realized that he was the same guy who burned someone's crop that night when she was walking around, looking for signal to call his mom. Naturally, Soyi revealed the problem within her family to Jinhyun, as if she trusted him already. But Jinhyun did nothing in return, makes Soyi got irritated. The peak of Soyi's dejection was when she attempted to run away and Jinhyun came to prevent her. Soyi realized that they shared the same unfortunate fate; while Soyi's parents got divorce, Jinhyun's parents aren't even his real parents. They were his aunt & uncle. While Soyi believed that her mom threw her away (which she actually didn't), Jinhyun mother really did throw him away. Jinhyun told Soyi that he tried to find his mom with only an address when he was seven. Instead of taking him back, his mom ordered him to "just believe that I died already". Soyi confirmed herself that she, indeed, fell in love with him. The next day, Soyi went to school only to find Jinhyun's seat is empty. Then, a classmate showed up saying that Jinhyun's family ran away, disappeared just like that. Soyi was devastated. She then went to school one more time to confirm his disappearance. It's true. It's all true. Then, there's this narration that hits me alot;

"Only then did I understand, he had disappeared completely from my universe"

And that makes me wonder how does it feel to find someone who used to be your everything suddenly disappeared? This does not include death. When someone dies, you can still see their body. Even if you can't, you know one thing that they've left the word for good. When someone disappears, you don't even know whether they're still alive or not. You don't know how they look like. You believe that they're still there but just no longer revolves around you. There are tons of names, hundreds of familiar faces. You want to find them but you can't. In the end, the only thing you can do is to wait for them to lead themselves back to you. I guess, that's just one of God's way to show us that the world is a big place, placed in a bigger place which is the universe.
