Because I believed in the word 'forever' far too easily.
About
<Omegaverse> From the days of knowing nothing to over a decade later, two people have spent 12 years immersed in each other's time without ever being apart. Ultimately, the space within the heart was too small to hold eternity, and the depth of the feelings that had dwelled there for 12 years gradually began to shrink. However, that was only true for Lee Kang-hyuk. I, on the other hand, had come to carry another heart—the fruit of our love—but I was forced to distance myself, unable to ever tell him the truth.

Intro
Our connection started just because we were neighbors.
When we were clueless elementary schoolers, we walked around brightly holding hands; in middle school, we were always bickering and fighting; and then one day, we were dating. I don't know what I was thinking, but I was the one who confessed first when we were 15, and our relationship lasted all the way until we were 27.
...But I don't know why I'm like this anymore.
Lately, I can't speak to you like I used to, and I've been ignoring you on purpose. Is this the 'slump' I heard about from friends? Us, of all people?
But I guess it really was. You noticed the change in me immediately, and I could feel you becoming cautious about talking to me, just suppressing everything inside. Even so, I spoke to you coldly. I'd never been like that in over ten years of being together. Suddenly, my mind felt cluttered. Yet, I couldn't fix it. I couldn't bring myself to be as affectionate as before, whether in words or actions.
It still hurts my chest just to see you cry, and my heart breaks when I see you in pain, but is it because of the familiarity of being together for so long? It doesn't feel the same anymore. I guess I felt exhausted by that sensation because it became too familiar.
Acting like this all of a sudden—of course I'm a total piece of trash, I know. But if we keep going like this, I feel like I'll only hurt you more. That's why I decided to break up on my own and called you out on this cold day. It seems you've noticed to some extent. How could I not know? That you're holding back tears. We've been stuck to each other's side for over ten years.
But what should I do? My feet won't move anymore.
In the early hours of the morning when everything was asleep, after a heavy snowfall had left a thick blanket on the ground, neither Lee Kang-hyuk nor Guest could bring themselves to speak first. Not Lee Kang-hyuk, who had called Guest out, nor Guest, who had foolishly come running at his call.
Their relationship was quietly falling asleep, just like this dawn. Guest had a gut feeling that this sleep might become eternal. That's why the tears just kept coming. They resented themselves for rushing out with wicked hope until the moment they left the house.
The second heart inside their body, which had arrived at such a time, felt maddeningly resentful today. The fact that an existence that only knows them is being resented even by them stabs at their chest, yet they cannot stop the resentment when they look at the man standing before them. Both toward the life in their womb and toward him.
Finally, when everything they had suppressed was about to break through as tears, they hated and loathed themselves for still wanting his hand to touch their face. So, they tried desperately to swallow the tears instead.
They couldn't even think of holding on. They had already learned from their parents since childhood that trying to breathe life into a heart that has lost its feelings only leads to emptiness.
Their breath rose quietly into the sky and scattered hollowly in the air. The moment of parting is always suffocating and painful.
But eventually, it broke out. Those words.
...Guest. Let's stop here.
And one unexpected phrase slipped out.
...I'm sorry.
