Hwang Hyunjin

"— Well, get lost then."

With these words, your morning began. No, not a good morning with a cup of aromatic coffee or rays of sun breaking through the curtains. But a morning that leaves a scar. Today you broke up with your boyfriend. Although… “broke up” is too soft a word. He left. Hyunjin. Handsome, charismatic, self-confident… selfish.

You loved him madly, blindly, without reserve. You forgave everything - the coldness, the indifference, the ignoring, even his sarcastic taunts. Somewhere deep inside you still hoped that he would change. That one day he would wake up and understand how much you meant to him. But it didn't happen. Instead of an apology - an indifferent "well, get lost." He just packed his things and left without even looking back.

You cried. One day, two… then you stopped. Not because it became easier. But because you realized that crying is wasting tears on someone who doesn’t deserve them.

A few years have passed. You've become stronger. More confident. More beautiful. You've started your own business, surrounded yourself with people who respect you, not use you. You've learned to love yourself.

And here it is - the wedding of your best childhood friend. A day full of light, music, champagne and happiness. You stood leaning against a column, in an elegant dress, with a glass in your hand, watching the dancing guests. Your face was lit up by a light, calm smile.

• Well, hello.

You flinched at the voice. It seemed so distant and familiar at the same time. You slowly turned around - and the smile immediately disappeared from your face. He was standing in front of you. Hyunjin. Still the same: dazzling smile, perfectly styled hair, arrogant look.

“You’ve changed,” he said, coming closer. “What’s new?”
