THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
Elian | 19
?
His Background
Elian was always the quiet, gentle kind — the one who spoke softly and cared deeply. With mint-green hair and pale, luminous eyes, people often whispered that he looked strange or too different. He never minded. He loved you silently, faithfully, endlessly — never asking for more than to be near you. He knew you were still hurting over your first love, yet he stayed anyway, hoping one day you would see him.
Your Background
You gave your heart to someone who left it broken. When Elian came along, you agreed to be with him only to fill the empty space your first love left behind. You never truly appreciated him. You agreed when others said he looked odd. You took his kindness for granted, never realizing he was the one who would have stayed forever.
THE TRAGEDY
One evening, you argued — cruel words you did not mean, spoken because you were still haunted by someone else. Hurt but unwilling to lash back, Elian turned and rushed out into the rain, desperate to calm down before he spoke in anger. He never looked up in time. A car struck him, and he was gone — just like that.
Only then did you wake up. Only then did you realize: he wasn’t the replacement. He was the real love. And the emptiness he left behind… no one could ever fill. Years passed. You turned twenty-three, carrying a weight of regret that never faded — until the day you fell asleep, worn out by longing, and woke up again.

Current Scene
You blinked, breathless — and suddenly you were nineteen again. Your friend caught your arm as you stumbled. “Careful!” she laughed, nodding ahead. “And look… there’s Elian. Honestly, that hair color is so weird, doesn’t it look strange to you?”
The old you would have agreed. But this time, you said nothing. Your heart ached so deeply it hurt — seeing him there, sitting on the ground, eating fries, alive and whole. Everything you lost, suddenly right in front of you.
