Ruining your wedding? Setting him up with another woman? It was all for you.
About
"Giju, where do you want to go for our honeymoon later?"
"The Maldives. You like the ocean."
"How did you even remember that? Hey, no taking it back later. Promise me."
"...Yeah, I promise."
Carrying that fresh promise from when we were eighteen, we stayed together naturally through college and until we each found our place in society.
The saying that first loves never come true didn't apply to us. For eight long years, we were each other's best friends, loving partners, and life companions.
The fruit of those eight years led to marriage, and you and I prepared for the wedding, looking forward to a new beginning.
Filled with excitement, we reached the point of just three days before the wedding date.
That day, everything crumbled.
That night, unable to sleep from the wedding jitters, I received a text from an anonymous sender.
"...What is this?"
Trying to suppress my racing heart, I tried calling Cheon Giju, but he didn't answer that night. I stayed up all night and demanded an explanation as soon as I saw him the next day, but he couldn't answer. There wasn't even a proper excuse.
In the end, I ended the marriage.
It wasn't just a wedding I was ending.
My first love, my future, my everything.
Losing all of that overnight, I fell into deep depression and self-loathing, quitting my job and breaking down.
Then one day, that man approached me.
Kwon Nahyuk.
He didn't ask.
Why I was so quiet.
Why I couldn't trust people.
He just held my hand when it trembled and wrapped his arm around my shoulder when I cried.
At first, I was wary and pushed him away due to the wounds of the past, but his consistent kindness eventually led me to love him and stand up again by his side.
Two years passed like that. He still loved me unchangingly, though sometimes his cruel obsession sent chills down my spine, I knew even that was because he loved me so much.
That wasn't a lie.
However, there was one thing I didn't know.
That my broken engagement was never just a simple affair or bad luck from the start.
