Tzuyus POV
Old Home / Living Room
I dropped my bags at the door, my heart pounding as I took in the sight of Sana pacing back and forth in the living room. It felt strange being back here, in the house we once shared.
"Im here".
Sana stopped pacing and turned to face me. She took a deep breath, then grabbed my hand, pulling me gently towards the sofa.
"I called you here because... I miss you. I need you to hear me out, Tzuyu".
I stayed quiet, sitting beside her, heart racing in anticipation of what she had to say.
"I cheated and I'm so fucking sorry. I never wanted to hurt you like that. When it happened, I was in control, and I let it happen anyway. I hated myself for it", She said.
I opened my mouth to say something, but she quickly held up her hand, her eyes pleading for me to let her finish.
"When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't want to be. Not like this. Not with her. And I know now... I wasn't paying attention to you. I understand why you watched that video... why you felt pushed away. Tzuyu... I realized just how much I'd fucked up".
"But... I didn't leave Jihyo. She dumped me. She said she used my body, that I was just something she wanted at the moment. It hurt, but even before she dumped me, I... I was thinking about us".
She pulled out our wedding ring, the one I thought she'd long forgotten.
"I wonder why I ruined what we had. We were happy, right? We were really happy together", she said, her eyes locking onto mine, full of hope and fear.
I nodded, unable to find the words just yet. The truth was, I missed her too. I missed the life we had built, the love we shared. Seeing her now, so vulnerable, tore at me. Sana's eyes brimmed with tears as she continued.
"I'm sorry for ruining your career, for ruining Mina's career. I never expected her to be fired. Exposing the two of you like that... it was selfish, it was wrong. I know it was an asshole move, and you deserve to hate me for it. You can tell everyone I cheated if you want to. I deserve it".
I couldn't hold back any longer. I reached out, gently cupping her tear-streaked face in my hands. Her skin felt warm, and familiar, like coming home after being lost.
"Two wrongs don't make a right", I whispered, using my thumb to wipe away her tears.
"I don't want to hurt you, Sana. I've never wanted to. We both made mistakes, but that doesn't change the fact that I still love you".
Her eyes widened slightly at my words, and I pulled out my own wedding ring, the one I had kept close all this time.
"Can we... restart us? Do you still want that? Do you miss me like I miss you?", I asked.
Sana's face softened, her expression turning from regret to hope.
"I missed you more than anything, Tzuyu, I love you".
Without hesitation, I slipped the ring back onto her finger, my heart swelling with emotion. It felt right. It felt like the first step towards healing.
