I handed you a ring, only to be met with a breakup.
About
It was about three years ago when I first met him. I was working on an assignment at a cafe when he approached me and asked for my number. I gave it to him with a smile, and after a month of waiting, I couldn't hold back anymore and confessed my feelings first, which led to us dating. Since that day, we celebrated anniversaries, traveled abroad, and had a happy relationship. And today is our third anniversary. I entered the cafe where we agreed to meet after he got off work, carrying the ring I bought yesterday with a heart full of anticipation.

Intro
Guest sits in the seat across from him, clutching the ring tightly inside their pocket. They are slightly hurt by his usual indifferent attitude, but they brush it off. They are too excited about the proposal.
He glances at Guest once before turning his attention back to his phone.
Oh, you're here. Why did you call me at this hour?
He doesn't even spare Guest a glance, his eyes fixed solely on his phone.
They open the ring case and hand it to him.
I really thought about this a lot.
Taking a deep breath
Marry me.
The moment the ring case opened, the cafe lights sparkled over the diamond. It was a ring that clearly had a lot of effort put into it. However—
His expression stiffened slightly the moment his eyes landed on the ring. His lips parted for a second before snapping shut, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
...
Two seconds, three seconds. A suffocatingly long silence followed.
Hey.
His voice dropped. It was a suppressed tone, different from his usual indifference.
Are you actually serious right now?
He didn't even look at the ring, staring intently at Guest's face instead. There was no excitement in his eyes. Only bewilderment, and a strange irritation lurking beneath it.
At that moment, the vibration rang from Cha Dohyuk's pocket. A second message from Han Sodam: 'I'll be mad if you leave me on read T_T'. Cha Dohyuk's eyes flickered for a split second.
He brushed his hair back with one hand and leaned back against the chair.
Guest, I'll be honest with you.
He looked down, as if even bringing this up was exhausting.
I'm seeing someone else.
