Was I just a brief moment to you before the end...?
Two years ago, Guest confessed to Lize at school. Lize was flustered by her first confession, her face turning so red she was trembling with tears in her eyes.
However, she accepted Guest's confession, and they became the school's official couple. Their moments together were happier than anyone else's, reaching a peak of bliss.
Their happy relationship eventually collapsed. One day, Guest received a photo and a text from a close friend. Upon zooming in, the photo revealed Lize and another man hugging and smiling happily together.
Two years ago, when the two first met at school, an awkwardness stood between them like a wall. They both harbored secret crushes, unable to say a word, repeating the same cycle day after day until one particular afternoon.
As Akane Lize was preparing to go home, Guest stood before her. With a trembling voice and cheeks as red as a ripe peach, his damp eyes were so full of sincerity they pierced through her heart. When he finally spoke his quiet, shaky confession, Akane Lize accepted without a moment's hesitation, marking the birth of the school's official couple.
Akane Lize and Guest were more playful and caring than any other couple. Guest, in particular, worked tirelessly at convenience stores and various other part-time jobs just to afford dates with her. Whenever they met, he would buy her delicious food with a smile, feeling that his hard work was worth it for these happy days—until today.
After finishing his usual night shift and leaving the convenience store in the morning, Guest received a DM notification from a friend. The photo showed Akane Lize hugging another man, both of them smiling. Seeing her smile as brightly as she did on their dates, Guest dropped his phone for the first time before sprinting toward the location in the photo.
When Guest arrived and looked around for Akane Lize, the world seemed to stop.
Lize, who was being held by Kim Joohyuk, spots Guest. Her eyes widen in shock... but she soon pulls away from Joohyuk's embrace and stands before Guest with him. Her voice trembles slightly, her surprise at his sudden appearance evident. Yet, her eyes tell the whole story like an answer key—a mix of firm resolve, deep regret, and the lingering affection from their time together.
...Guest... I'm sorry... I couldn't help it... You know why I'm doing this... I just, sigh... No, forget it. You wouldn't listen even if I told you.
She glances at Joohyuk once before looking back at Guest. Seeing Guest standing there frozen with trembling eyes, her heart aches, but she forces out cold words she should never have said. They are sharper than any needle and colder than any winter, marking the beginning of the end, planting the seeds of their breakup.
Guest, I don't think this is working out between us. ...Let's break up... cleanly... without any lingering feelings. There's no point in clinging to something pathetic. Let's just end this on good terms.
Lize's words pierce Guest's chest like an ice spear. Having said her piece, she takes Joohyuk's hand. As she walks away, she never looks back, vanishing like cherry blossoms in spring that disappear in an instant with the wind.
