Tides and Longing: 잊혀진 파도의 속삭임

***BEST ON TRUE LIFE STORY OF THE AUTHOR*** "Tides and Longing" was born—a tale of whispered confessions, salt-kissed kisses, and the ache of love that defied time. In its pages, I sought solace, rewriting destiny with ink and hope. And maybe, just maybe, our seashells would find each other again, washed ashore by forgotten waves. In the quiet alleys of a coastal city, where the scent of salt and memories linger, two hearts once danced to the rhythm of childhood laughter. But life, relentless and unpredictable, wove their fates into a bittersweet tapestry. **Noh Da-Hyun**, with her sun-kissed cheeks and dreams as vast as the ocean, cherished her childhood friend, **Yoo Jeong**, with an innocence only youth could hold. Their days were a symphony of shared secrets, scraped knees, and stolen glances. Yet, when Da-Hyun's family whisked her away, the waves swallowed their laughter, leaving behind echoes of what could have been. Years flowed like tides, and Da-Hyun found herself entangled in a different love—a love that consumed her, body and soul. The boy from her high school, whose eyes held galaxies, became her universe. But love, capricious and cruel, betrayed her. He whispered goodbye, and the stars shattered. Six years later, Da-Hyun returned to Seoul, her heart a fragile seashell. The city had changed, yet the sea remained constant, its waves a lullaby of forgotten promises. And there, amidst the whispers of salt and longing, she discovered that Jeong move abroad, leaving behinda trail of memories. But fate, ever the weaver of intricate patterns, played its hand once more. Jeong returned, not as the boy who shared her secrets, but as a stranger with memories etched into his eyes. His laughter no longer echoed through the narrow streets; instead, it lingered in the gaps between their unspoken words. Da-Hyun's heart, like a compass drawn to true north, still pointed toward Jeong. Her secret crush bloomed anew, petals fragile as morning dew. Yet, he stood on a different shore, holding hands with another—a girl whose laughter painted sunsets. Their encounters were fleeting, like seagulls skimming the water's surface. Jeong's eyes held a thousand apologies, and Da-Hyun's heart whispered a thousand what-ifs. They were strangers with memories, two souls adrift in the same sea, yet unable to bridge the distance. As the moon waxed and waned, Da-Hyun clung to hope. Perhaps love was not a single tide but an eternal ebb and flow. Perhaps, just perhaps, their story could find a different ending—one where the waves carried them back to each other. "Tides and longing" is a tale of love lost and found, of salt-kissed kisses and the ache of unspoken confessions. Can Da-Hyun and Jeong rewrite their destiny, or will they remain like seashells—beautiful, but forever apart? May the tides of longing guide them toward a shore where memories intertwine with hope, and where love, against all odds, finds its way home.

Chapter 5: **Stardust and Silence**

The years spun their web, cocooning Da-Hyun in memories. She graduated, her dreams like paper boats set adrift. Jeong's silence was a chasm—a void she couldn't bridge. She wondered if he ever thought of her—the girl who had loved him like constellations love the night sky.

Da-Hyun's career blossomed. She became a successful woman—a constellation of ambition. But Jeong remained a distant star. She wondered if he still loved cherry blossoms, if he missed the rain-swollen gutters and the paper boats they had launched.

The gallery was a sanctuary of memories—a constellation of colors and unspoken confessions. Da-Hyun stood before Jeong, her heart a paper boat caught in a tempest. His eyes held galaxies—the secrets of six years etched into stardust.

One day, as autumn painted the city in gold, Da-Hyun received an invitation—an art exhibition featuring Jeong's paintings. The gallery was a cathedral of colors—a sanctuary for lost dreams. She stood before his canvases, each stroke a confession. Jeong's eyes held galaxies, and Da-Hyun wondered if he had painted her—the girl who had once whispered promises beneath the rain.

And then, there he was—Jeong, older now, his hair shorter, his eyes wiser. He stood by a canvas—a paper boat caught in a tempest. Da-Hyun's heart raced. She approached, her voice a fragile thread.

*"It's me, Noh Da-Hyun,"* she said, her breath catching. "I've missed you."

Jeong turned, his gaze a constellation of surprise. His lips curved—a crescent moon breaking through clouds. "Da-Hyun," he whispered. "You're here."

She nodded, her heart spilling over. "Like paper boats miss the rain.

Jeong's eyes held galaxies—the secrets of six years etched into stardust. "I never forgot," he said. "You were my unfinished symphony."

Da-Hyun's tears blurred the colors—the blues and golds merging into hope. *"Why did you stop replying?"* she asked, her voice trembling.

He hesitated, his fingers tracing invisible lines. *"I had a girlfriend,"* he confessed. *"But she was never you."*

Her heart soared—a paper boat catching wind. *"And now?"*

Jeong stepped closer, his touch a constellation of longing. *"Now,"* he said, *"I've missed you like constellations miss the night sky."*

And then, the interruption—a handsome stranger, young and powerful. His eyes held the promise of dreams fulfilled. Da-Hyun's breath caught as he approached, his presence eclipsing Jeong.

*"I apologize for interrupting,"* he said, his voice smooth as silk. *"I'm Kang Tae Mu, CEO of SunTech Industries."*

Da-Hyun's heart raced. SunTech Industries—the name echoed through Seoul's skyscrapers. She had heard of their innovations, their wealth. Kang Tae Mu was every girl's dream—a constellation of success.

Jeong watched, his expression unreadable. Kang Tae Mu extended his hand, and Da-Hyun hesitated. The paper boat of her love wavered—caught between two shores.

*"Da-Hyun,"* Kang Tae Mu said, his smile a crescent moon. *"A pleasure to meet you."*

She shook his hand, her pulse erratic. *"Likewise."*

And then, he turned to Jeong—a silent challenge. *"Old friend?"* Kang Tae Mu asked, his eyes sharp.

Jeong's jaw tightened. *"Something like that."*

The gallery held its breath—a canvas of tension. Da-Hyun wondered—could she choose? Jeong, the unfinished symphony, or Kang Tae Mu, the dream realized?

As ink met paper once again, Da-Hyun penned her story—a tale of love and longing, of strangers with memories, and the ache that never truly let go. The sea remained constant, its waves carrying whispers of what could be.
