Walking Through Lost Time
After tying his shoelaces as fast as he could, a seven year old boy's feet quickened their pace each time they pounded against the Earth. He needed to get to the playground right away, his best friend was waiting for him. Kevin sped up once the playground was in sight, and immediately came to a stop in front of a boy slowly swinging back and forth on the swings. He needed to tell his friend something extremely important.
"Kibum hyung, guess what?! I'm moving back to America!" Kevin exclaimed, his tiny hands on his knees, attempting to catch his breath from the long run.
The older boy slowly came to a stop, taken back from Kevin's statement, and unconsciously whispered, "When?"
"I'm gonna move at the end of this month. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, my parents told me today." Kevin answered. A part of him wanted to go back to America, the place where he was born and raised until a year ago, but a bigger part of him wanted to stay here in South Korea.
"Then let's have the best one month we've ever had in out entire life! We can play video games, sword fights, have sleepovers, and do a lot more other things! We can start by building the biggest sand castle ever!" Kibum said, forcing a smile on his eight year old face before running towards the sandbox.

Moving Day

"Umma, why isn't Kibum hyung here yet?" Kevin cried to his mother. The movers had already put most of the furniture into the moving truck to be taken to a warehouse.
"Don't worry, sweetie, I'm sure he'll be here soon." The seven year old boy's mother cooed. Just as Kevin's family was about to get into their car, the seven year old spotted the Kim's car drive in.
"Hyung, you made it!" Kevin exclaimed in happiness, jumping out of the car to give the older boy a hug.
"Of course I did! Your family and my family are close friends, right? So why wouldn't we come?" Kibum rhetorically asked. Before Kevin could even consider why, Kibum pulled out an envelope from his back pocket and gave it to Kevin.
"I asked my umma to make two copies of it." Kibum sheepishly smiled.
Inside the envelope was a picture of the two boys grinning ear to ear, arms around one another, and a sand castle standing tall in the back. Neatly written on the back of the picture was, 'You'll always be my best friend! Never Forget Me! -Kibum'
With tears welling up in his eyes, Kevin spoke, "I won't ever forget you, hyung! I promise!"
