A tapestry of friendship, bright and bold, Nine
hearts entwined, a story to be told.
Ruan, the eldest among us, a beacon of light
Her laughter contagious, always shining bright
Inez, his sister, quiet and calm
A gentle soul, like a soothing balm
Opposite of Ruan, with serene grace
Her presence a comfort in life's fast-paced race
The twins, Elio and Rocco, a pair of contrast
Elio, the smartest gamer, always engrossed and steadfast
An introvert, lost in the virtual realm
His twin Rocco, wild and adventurous at the helm
Soccer was his passion, his love and his flair
A fire in his eyes, always ready to dare
Partner in crime, with Rouge at his side
Causing mischief and chaos far and wide
Jaeha our gentle soul, with a heart of gold
In sickness and health, his smile never sold
Calm and composed, a pillar of strength
In times of distress, he'd go to any length
Charlize, the scary one, with a fierce resolve
Her demeanor stern, her boundaries evolved
A keeper of order, a force to be reckoned
Rocco and Rouge, with her rules, beckoned
Taeha, the prankster, a joker at heart
lighthearted and mischievous, playing his part
His antics with Charlize, a constant tease
Her anger fueled by his antics with ease
But everything changed on that fateful day
During our graduation, a shadow cast in dismay
Charlize cried, Taeha nowhere to be found
No trace, no word, just gone without a sound
Taeha vanished, a void in our group
No explanation, just disappeared in one swoop
Two years have passed since that fateful day
And still, we wonder where he could stray
In a circle of friends, there are nine of us
Five still in one university, creating a fuss
Two in a far university, but still close at heart
One battling sickness, refusing to part
And then there's the one who disappeared without a trace
leaving us wondering, with an empty space
But through it all, our bond remains strong
In the highs and lows, we'll always belong
