The day was chilly and overcast and the clouds towered above the sky, setting the mood of weariness. Wearing a long, silky cloak that wrapped itself around her, Aera woke up to the smell of fresh,wet dew and gentle showers of rain knocking constantly on the window. The sunlight poured into the room and spread warmth across Aera. The storm raged into the night, the rain unleashed and lighting lit the skies all the night but the afterlights always shone hope for Aera.

It was a Saturday, so Aera decided to go to the park. She got ready and left the apartment in a blur. She arrived at the park which was empty and wet. The trees were soaked and the benches were drenched with water.

She sat down on one of the benches, ignoring the water and sighed. She'd prefer being alone as that was the only thing she was good at doing. She felt the cool breeze caress her cheeks and her hair swayed with the wind in synchronous melody.

She kept her emotions bottled up within her, but it was her pained expression that gave her away. Her pain was evident in the crease of her brows and the down-curve of her full lips. Her eyes, once filled with happiness and joy, is now filled with hopeless grief and painful sorrow.

A free-spirited person who didn't have a care in the world, is now crying with despair over reality. She's broken into a million pieces and all Sungjin can try to do is put the pieces together. Her heart might be cracked and will never return to its perfect state, but at least she'll finally be free from the chains that held her for so long.

He just got out of school and saw Aera walking out of the school with a gloomy expression. Her hood kept him from seeing her inner beauty. He'd never know what life was like for a broken girl.

She shivered in the coldness and saw him looking at her with worry. She shook her head and continued walking towards her apartment, the further she walked the further he seemed to be until she could no longer see him.

After a while of walking, she arrived at her apartment and inserted the key into the keyhole. While opening the door with the key, the key made a few audible noises before turning for the very last time.

She went into the apartment and fell onto the bed and slept immediately.

He finished drawing a picture of Aera and got lost in her immediately. He held the painting up close and embraced it.

'Someday, Aera.', he sighed, the feeling of love growing stronger with each day.

Sungjin placed the photo next to his bedside and covered the warm and soft blanket over himself and slept.

'Class, today we will be doing act I of Romeo and Juliet.'

The teacher and the students went to the school stage in a single file line with Aera at the end of the line.

Everyone wore their props and were in their positions, with Aera playing dead in a floral coffin. Sungjin stepped into the stage and the performance started.

A/N: Sorry this chapter is only half as long. I had to deal with some stuff but the next chapter will be long. (Also, I haven't read or watched Romeo and Juliet so I won't add the performance in the book. But, there will be a really sad romance scene so stay tuned for that!)
