^{» changmin was often described as the golden child growing up, showered in glittering praises that manifested into mountains of unrealistic expectations that he must always uphold.}

^{» he wasn't searching for love, burdened with a carefully curated path filled with intense study sessions and lengthy weekend practices; where the only peace he found was late night smoke breaks on the beach. it wasn't until she came crashing into his life like a tsunami, and suddenly, his mundane life was painted with color.}

^{» the rose-tinted glasses was pried from his eyes the day of orientation. _{[ we're sorry, the number you have dialed has been disconnected or is no longer in service. ]} his heart sunk, it felt surreal to him. he thought maybe it was a dream, or maybe he just needed to call her enough to reach her. her sudden disappearance broke him, questions swirling within his head and a pit in his stomach that never went away. first he blamed his family, then he blamed himself, and yet he could never directly place the blame onto her. he found himself wallowing in his own self pity, falling onto old bad habits again.}

^{» his world began to dissipate before his eyes, neglecting his own well-being to a breaking point, recalling the cheers that poured onto the soccer field shifting into the subtle beep of the heart monitor and the blinding white ceiling of the emergency room. the doctor informed him that it wasn't likely that he could return to sports, and that he should be more mindful from here on out. he looked upon the city lights on the rooftop of the hospital, his feet shuffling forward towards the simmering curiosity of how far out of reach they were, only to fall flat onto his back against the flat roof when he's startled by the loss of control of his weight. he laid there for what felt like hours, sinking alone under dim the moonlight.}

^{» their relationship progressed into senior year with promises of a future, finding an apartment and attending the same university together. he counted down the days until orientation, to what he felt was like a new beginning. the first few days were quiet, he had initially thought selene was caught up with the move. he waited until the fear settled in, frantically searching for her in the law department, asking of her whereabouts. _{[ uh, we don't have anyone by that name that's a current student here. are you sure you're checking the right place? ]} he continuously called her to no avail, and that was when he realized he was alone.}
