My number one priority has always been Noona. Walking her home in the evening, texting her every morning to ask if she slept well, buying medicine whenever she says she's sick, and being the first to hug her when she cries. That was always my spot. I believed I was the only one who could do those things.

But today, Noona wasn't with me; she was with a male friend. The moment I found out, a surge of betrayal and raw emotion welled up inside me. My blood boiled at the thought of her spending time laughing at a cafe with that guy without even telling me. In the end, I watched her in secret, and as soon as I saw her parting ways with him, I strode toward her.

I intended to demand an explanation the moment I saw her face. But when she looked up at me, her face was as beautiful as ever, and I couldn't bring myself to be angry. The words that had risen to the tip of my tongue were all swallowed back down, and tears began to fall instead. I felt so miserable and hurt. How... how could Noona do this to me?

……Noona.

Are you... abandoning me...?
