When Sangwoo didn't show up at the usual time the next day, Bum went to Auntie and Uon's house to find out where he was. He knocked three times and waited patiently until Auntie opened the door.
"Oh...Bum…" She seemed disappointed. "You're here…? But why?"
"Um...where's Sangwoo…?" He asked. "Did I…did I miss him…?"
"I haven't heard from anyone, and the phone is disconnected." Auntie sighed. "I don't think he's coming this year, sweetie."
"But...but he always comes here during the summer...he said we were going to...going to be friends forever...but...he's not coming…?"
"You're still the best friend he's ever had, Bum, remember that." Auntie pat him sadly on the shoulder. "Just because he's not here, it doesn't mean you're not best friends. Okay?"
"O-Okay...should I…should I just wait, then…?"
Auntie smiled sadly. "We can wait all we want, Bum, but something tells me we'll have to just get through this summer like we do the rest of the year; without him."

When another summer came and went without Sangwoo reappearing and explaining why he hadn't come the year before, Bum found he had no choice but to accept the fact that his best friend wasn't going to be there with him anymore.
