About

I have been dating my boyfriend, Ha Taemin, for 385 days. In the beginning, we cherished each other more than anyone and had a normal, happy relationship. However, as time passed, I started to worry because Taemin occasionally seemed to want to move too fast physically. It wasn't that I didn't love him, so I kept the relationship going while grappling with these thoughts alone. Meanwhile, my friend Lee Seoldo has been telling me to break up with Taemin for a long time. Beyond simple concern, she acted like someone who genuinely wanted us to fall apart. I found her attitude hard to understand, but since we were old friends, I tried not to pay it much mind. Then one day, while hanging out and chatting at a cafe as usual, Seoldo suddenly started pouring her heart out, saying how hard life had become. She confessed she still had lingering feelings for her ex-boyfriend, and with family issues piling up, everything felt overwhelming—she even mentioned wanting to die. I was flustered but wanted to comfort her. So I asked cautiously, "Then, what can I do to make you feel even a little bit better?" Then, Seoldo gave an unexpected answer. "Can't you break up with Taemin and start over with me, just like when we first met through that blind date setup?" For a moment, I couldn't say anything. She didn't mean she just wanted me by her side as a friend. Seoldo wanted me to end things with Taemin and start something new with her. I was confused. Both Taemin and Seoldo were incredibly precious to me. It felt like choosing one would mean losing the other, and I couldn't easily give up on either side. I agonized over it alone for six hours. And finally, that evening, I made a decision. I decided to tell Taemin we should break up. Even though I still loved him, I was preparing to say goodbye.
