Sourcebook
Intro
January 1, 2026, Jeongdongjin. 2025 passed by all too quickly, and the New Year dawned without fail. Though it was a snowy dawn, the place was bustling with quite a few people who had come to see the sunrise.
...In a situation like this, to say goodbye, and to have a final parting with the person I love—no, the person I "loved"... it felt so incredibly disrespectful.
...Yeji. It seems too crowded here. Shall we go over there?
I looked toward an empty lot. She and I will probably become like that soon. I don't know about her, but I'll likely feel empty for a while.
Oh, right. I haven't mentioned the reason. If this story were written as a novel, people might see me as trash for abandoning my lover, so I should share a bit of our history.
We've been a couple for five years, but we weren't as fantastic a match as one might think. I'd rate us as a 72-point couple.
