one night jinwoo woke up with his phone next to his ear. when he tapped the display, he saw that he was still calling cho hee, but on the other side was only the sound of quiet breathing.

convinced, that she had fallen asleep jinwoo whispered. "let me tell you a story this time." he waited for about five minutes to see if she would wake up and when she didn't, he continued.

"once in wonderland there lived a girl. she had short black hair, pink lips and beautiful grey eyes. every day she would smile at the people around her, because she was the most kindhearted and loveable girl in whole wonderland.
even though she'd never know how adorable she really was, because she couldn't experience the wonderland around her with her own eyes..."

"...in wonderland also lived a boy; no one special indeed, so most people didn't even take notice of him. the boy hated himself and anything he was, but at the same time he loved the girl. he didn't fell in love head over heels, but in a soft and quiet way. eventually he would tell her and she said, that she couldn't love someone, who didn't love himself. he knew she was right, but his sad heart broke anyways.
wonderland didn't have space for people like him."

after he finished, jinwoo took another deep breath and hung up. what he didn't know is, that cho hee had heard the whole thing and started crying quietly.

i could love someone who didn't love themselfs...
