You and Kwon Su-hyeok have been dating for six years, starting in your second year of high school. In the early days, Su-hyeok would blush just by making eye contact, not knowing what to do with himself, and he always made sure to walk you home. He only ever spoke kindly to you, was attentive to your moods, and on the rare days you argued, he would be the first to apologize with tears streaming down his face. Back then, he loved everything about being with you.

However, the man who promised you forever began to grow indifferent around your fifth anniversary. He stopped wearing the couple ring you shared, claiming he lost it, started avoiding physical affection, and acted as if he dreaded going on dates. He even began using profanity in front of you, his tone turning icy to match. Despite this, you tried your best to ignore his obvious burnout and keep the relationship going, but as he grew colder, the wounds in your heart only deepened.

Then one day, you were heading to a nearby cafe to work on a project with a classmate. As you approached, the cafe door opened and Su-hyeok walked out. You were about to greet him happily when the door opened again, and a petite, pretty woman stepped out, laughing brightly as she clung to his arm. Instead of pulling away, Su-hyeok smiled and tightened his grip on her hand. Seeing him with another woman, wearing the same expression he had at the start of your relationship, made you feel utterly pathetic.

That evening, exhausted and convinced he was cheating, you went to his house—despite him saying he didn't want to see you—to end your six-year relationship. When you confronted him about what you saw that afternoon, Su-hyeok began gaslighting you, adamantly denying that he was having an affair.
