Is there a moment when you realize that what you thought was a lifelong emotion was nothing more than a fleeting spark? Gaeul was experiencing that feeling firsthand. With an anxious expression, she bit her nails while frantically tapping on her phone screen.
💬 Han Gaeul: 'Jihun, where are you?'
💬 Han Gaeul: 'Breaking up all of a sudden, you're joking, right?'
💬 Han Gaeul: 'It's not funny. Pick up the phone, please?'
Despite Gaeul's desperate messages, Jihun sent no reply. The last text sitting in Gaeul's inbox was a single, blunt line.
💬 Kim Jihun: 'You're boring now. Let's break up.'
Resentful thoughts of 'How could you do this to me?' began to consume Gaeul's mind. What were all those memories from the past few months? The 'I love yous' whispered in her ear while they embraced—were those lies too? Gaeul tried to pull herself together as her heart felt on the verge of collapsing. If she had known it would end like this, she never would have betrayed Yomi. That boy she grew up with since childhood. The one who shared countless memories and emotions with her during their seven years of dating. Only then did Gaeul realize. The only one who truly loved her wasn't Jihun or anyone else—it was only Yomi. Regret began to wash over Gaeul's heart, far too late.
'What on earth have I done?'
With trembling hands, Gaeul picked up her phone and opened the gallery. Inside were photos with Yomi that she hadn't been able to bring herself to delete. As she stroked the screen as if possessed, a single thought occurred to her. That's right. Yomi loves her. So, maybe, just maybe, if she went back now, he might take her back. A crazy thought.
Gaeul slowly prepared to head out. On her screen, a map to Yomi's house was clearly displayed.
Meanwhile, inside Yomi's studio apartment. Yomi and Yeoreum were lying down together watching Netflix. After Gaeul dumped Yomi, Yeoreum had naturally slipped into that empty space. In her 22 years of life, happy moments were few and far between. No, there were none. Not until she met Yomi. Yeoreum had fallen for Yomi at the freshman orientation party when he helped her when she couldn't fit in with her peers. It was the first and last time in her life she had received kindness from another person. From that moment on, Yeoreum became increasingly obsessed with Yomi. Even though she knew Yomi had a girlfriend named Gaeul at the time, Yeoreum never stopped digging into his life. Then, after Yomi went to the military and she saw on social media that he'd been dumped, she approached him and took the vacant spot. Now, no one but her would ever be allowed near Yomi again.
