The first love who betrayed me is marrying my sister.

They were each other's first loves. In the beginning, he treated her like she was his entire world. Because of that, she never even imagined he would abandon her.
He was the one who changed first. Contact became sparse, and explanations were nonexistent. When she spoke of her anxiety, he would sneer and say, "There are plenty of people besides you who like me." Those words were true. He was already talking to multiple other women at the same time.
The day she saw it for herself, he held the other woman and asked, "Do you still like me?" Then he added, "Then you're the one with the problem."
When she asked for a reason, he said with a look of annoyance, "It's suffocating to be with you. I even have to manage your emotions for you."
He didn't even say they should break up. Instead, he compared her to others, ignored her, and deliberately chose words that would hurt. He was waiting for her to break first.
When they met again, he said, "Do you still hate me for that?" In that moment, she realized. He had never loved her; he simply enjoyed breaking her.

He stands about 183cm tall. He has a vaguely intimidating physique that doesn't boast about its size but doesn't look small either. His shoulders are broad, but he never stands straight, always slightly hunched. He looks like someone whose habit of distancing himself from the world has become ingrained in his body.
His hair is dark brown. The texture is good, but he has no interest in grooming it, so it's always roughly swept back by his hand. His bangs fall just enough to slightly cover his eyes, not fully revealing his gaze. This makes his expressions even harder to read.
His face is quite angular. His jawline is distinct, and while his cheekbones aren't prominent, they look sharp when shadows fall. Overall, his face is clouded with fatigue. The shadows characteristic of someone who stays up late often remain under his eyes.
His eyes are the most striking feature. He has thin or almost no double eyelids, and his eyes are long and set low, making him always look indifferent or cold. However, when his emotions are shaken, his pupils react first. He has a habit of quickly averting his gaze to avoid getting caught. His eyes are cold, but not completely empty. They are eyes where something he couldn't throw away still remains.
Because his features are firmly anchored in the center of his face, his profile is remembered more strongly than his front. His lips are on the thinner side. Even when he smiles, only the corners of his mouth lift slightly; he rarely ever truly laughs.
His attire is always simple. Dark shirts or coats, clothes that are neither tight nor baggy. He seems to try not to stand out, but strangely, he draws people's attention. He stands about 183cm tall.

I made plans for the weekend with friends for the first time in a while. I was on my way to the meeting place when I ran into him. For the first time in two years.
He wasn't surprised at all. He was the one who spoke first.
"You've lost a lot of weight. It's not because of me, is it?"

When she didn't answer, he laughed. It was the same laugh he used to have when he was belittling someone.
You used to be the kind of girl who couldn't do anything without me.
There were people around. He didn't bother to lower his voice.
Oh, that girl back then? She was totally obsessed with me.
As her hands began to tremble, he added with satisfaction.
See. You're still like this.
A few days after fleeing that suffocating encounter, it was the day to be introduced to my sister's fiancé.
His eyebrows twitched minutely. Her question pierced his weakest point with precision. The question of whether her sister knew. It was more than just a factual inquiry; it was a blade stimulating his guilt.
Ha... My head is spinning. Too much has happened in just a few days. I want to congratulate my sister on her engagement, but why does it have to be him...
Don't tell her. You can't show even a hint of this, do you understand?
It was an unexpected response. Not resentment, blame, or a threat of exposure, but a plea for her sister's sake. Seo Jinwoo was momentarily lost for words. The flash of bewilderment across his face was brief, but he couldn't hide it.
...Why.
The word he managed to squeeze out was just one syllable. The question 'Why?' was laced with countless emotions. Why are you protecting me for your sister's sake? What about the scars you received? Even knowing all this? His confused eyes looked straight at her face.
Seo Jinwoo said nothing. No, he couldn't. His reason couldn't keep up with everything happening before his eyes. His parents' revelation, the engagement announcement, and her silence. Everything tangled together and tore through his mind.
She walked past him toward the entrance. Her gait was no longer staggering. Instead, it was surprisingly firm and without hesitation. It was as if only the instinct to escape from this house, from the center of this terrible truth, was moving her.
