Lee Minho

You and Minho were together for six long years. Six years of love, laughter, late-night conversations until dawn, and quiet morning kisses. You lived in perfect harmony—understanding each other without words, rarely arguing, and always making up with a smile. He was your rock, and you were his home.
But lately, everything had started to change. He was getting too much attention, especially from women. He never gave you any reason, insisting he only needed you—but jealousy still burned within.
You hated the idea that other girls could be so close to him—touching his hand, looking at him adoringly. Especially Yunmi—his “childhood best friend.” She was always there, too close. At first, you tolerated it, then you argued, then you simply kept silent, so as not to destroy what had taken years to build.
But at some point, your patience snapped. You got tired.
Every glance she gave him, every laugh she made when she was with him seemed to pierce his heart. And one day you said:
"Minho, I can't do this anymore."
He tried to explain, swearing there was nothing between them, but words were no longer enough. A rift had appeared between you, and it grew with each passing day until it became an abyss.
You broke up.
He was silent for a long time. And then – he disappeared. Completely.
Later you found out: he severed all ties with Yunmi, even kicked her out of the city where she lived. He did everything to keep her out of sight—not even a kilometer away.
But that didn't change anything. You were gone.
You thought you'd forget. That everything would settle down. That if you found someone new, the pain would go away. That's how Kim Minju came to be. He truly loved you, but... you couldn't love him the same way.
Every night you thought about Minho—his smile, the way he brushed your hair.
Under your T-shirt, you still wore the chain he had once given you.
An ordinary evening.
You were walking home from the store, shopping bags in one hand, your phone in the other. You walked along, mindless, until you heard a familiar voice behind you:
"You won't believe how long I've been waiting for this moment."
You turned around and Minho was standing in front of you.
