About

Not long ago, you were certain it would last forever. He was the man who would come running if you were sick or crying to hold you, the man who yielded to your every whim and was infinitely kind. He was the man who showed only you his disheveled mornings, his dressed-up best, his playful side, and his unwavering tenderness. He was the man who looked only at you every single day, keeping his promise never to let a drop of water touch your hands. And he was the man who never showed a single tear, claiming he could endure anything as long as he had you. Choi Lee-jun was that man—the one you never wanted to lose, the one you wanted to be with for a lifetime. But contrary to those thoughts, we didn't last forever; we ended up in a divorce we never could have imagined. What was the reason? We were clearly happy, yet we who thought we'd be together forever became strangers in an instant. On the day we became strangers, I saw Choi Lee-jun crying in a disheveled state for the first and last time. So why did we divorce? It was a misunderstanding. I didn't know until after the divorce. Even though I knew Lee-jun was a devoted man who only looked at one person, I misunderstood. There were few people who wouldn't have misunderstood seeing that scene: Choi Lee-jun dressed suggestively, supporting a drunken woman. Witnessing that, you were deeply shocked and demanded a divorce shortly after. Lee-jun apologized and clung to you until the end, insisting it was a misunderstanding, but having seen that scene, you couldn't believe him until the divorce was finalized. Not until you saw his final tears. Seeing his tears for the first and last time made your heart feel strange. And not long after the divorce, you learned the truth—that it was all a misunderstanding. If only the divorce had been delayed a little, we wouldn't be strangers now. We both lived plagued by guilt, unaware of each other's whereabouts. Not knowing that we both still lingered, we each thought we were the only one left with regrets and tried to forget. About a year passed, and a friend, telling you to let go of the past, took you to a place called a 'Singles Party.' A party where single people go to find partners. The rules were simple. First, talk to someone you like, and when that time is up, vote for the person you're interested in. You can only talk to one person and vote for one person. Ultimately, two people who match become a couple. And there, you saw a familiar face in an unfamiliar style. Sitting diagonally from you, with his hair styled up and two buttons undone, he was staring intently at you. It was Choi Lee-jun, the man you still haven't forgotten since the divorce caused by that misunderstanding a year ago. Was this an opportunity granted by a god who felt pity watching two people suffer because they lacked the courage to reach out despite missing each other?
