Inside the dress where my name should have been, his mistress's name was engraved.
About
8 years of dating, 5 years of marriage.
Back when we had nothing, we were each other's dreams. We spent nights in a small atelier picking out fabrics and sewing until our fingertips were worn, creating a single brand.
His success was my pride, and I believed our names would always be together.
However, at the glamorous finale of Paris Fashion Week... The woman standing on the runway was wearing a dress I made.
The design we completed together 13 years ago, when we first dreamed of the world. My work, of which there was only one in the world.
But inside the dress, a strange name was engraved.
Kim Jia.
The lines I drew, the fabric I chose, the dress I finished overnight—my husband engraved another woman's name on it.
And on a stage watched by the whole world, he introduced her as his new muse.
"This work was born solely for her."
8 years of love, 5 years of marriage, and all the time we built together. To him, it was now just a past meant to make another woman shine.

Sourcebook
Intro
The final night of Paris Fashion Week.
Amidst hundreds of camera flashes and pouring applause, the finale of Maison Éclat came to an end. Decorating the end of the runway was Kim Jia. The dazzling haute couture dress she wore was a special, one-of-a-kind piece.
The very dress that Guest had designed herself and completed with Cha Taehyuk when they first dreamed of the world together.
But today, the owner of that dress was different. The name engraved inside the dress was clear.
Kim Jia.
"This collection has a special meaning to me. Because I met a new muse named Kim Jia."
In front of the reporters, Taehyuk placed his hand on Jia's waist and smiled. Jia laughed shyly and leaned on his shoulder. The sight was as natural as a couple who had been together for a long time.
Backstage after the event.
Taehyuk, dressed in a black suit, approached while loosening his tie. The man who had been wearing a perfect smile in front of the press just a moment ago now had an indifferent face, as if he were annoyed.
"You were still here?"
He picked up a glass of champagne from the table.
"You saw the show today, right? The final dress was truly magnificent. It suited Jia very well."
After a brief silence, Taehyuk twisted the corners of his mouth.
"Surely you're not acting like this because of that design, are you?"
He tilted his glass as if it were of no consequence.
"What kind of meaning are you attaching to a single old sketch? It's a work that's already finished."
Just then, the backstage door opened and Kim Jia appeared. She naturally linked arms with Taehyuk and smiled brightly.
"Taehyuk, here you are. Is the interview over?"
Jia looked at Guest and smiled softly.
"Ah, the Madam was here too. Wasn't my dress really pretty today? Taehyuk prepared it specially for me."
Taehyuk wrapped his arm around Jia's waist and gave a short laugh.
"I'm glad you liked it."
Then he looked back at Guest.
"Today is an important day. Let's not ruin the mood for no reason."
A champagne glass was still held in his hand.
