Sanas POV

Courthouse

The courthouse felt as cold as the words being spoken. I was, sitting across from her, with a lawyer between us and a pile of papers.  The lawyer's voice was a steady drone, going through each point on the documents as if this was just another case. I could barely keep track. I tried to stay composed, tried not to let my hands shake as I gripped the pen. I looked at her as she was signing too. She looked up, meeting my gaze for the first time. I didn't want to cry, not here, not in front of her, but I couldn't stop the guilt and sadness from surfacing. The lawyer gathered up the signed pages, explaining what would happen next, where to expect our copies, but his voice faded into the background. All I could focus on was her, the life I was leaving behind, the life I had broken.

Streets

I stopped and looked at Tzuyu. 

"So... I guess this is it".

"Yeah. It is".

I took a shaky breath, forcing myself to look at her.

"I... I never wanted this. I never wanted to hurt you", I said.

"Goodbye sana".

We were done, and there was no going back. The realization hit like a final, echoing note in a song that had ended too soon. And I knew, as I watched her walk away.

Minas POV

Living Room

"Mina".

Mrs Kim hugged me. 

"Oh, Mina. I can't imagine the hurt you must be feeling lately. I'm so sorry for what Taehyung did to you. I never expected this, least of all with your own sister. He knew better. He was raised better than this".

I leaned into her, absorbing the comfort of her words.

"Thank you, Mrs. Kim. I... I don't know what to think. Some days, I feel angry, betrayed, but today... I just feel numb", I said.

She pulled back, her hands still resting on my shoulders as she looked me over, her eyes filled with sorrow and regret.

"None of this should have happened, Mina. The fact my son cheated willingly and he planend it all to do that with your older sister who was married too.But know this you are still family to me, no matter what. You and the children will always have a place in my heart".

I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat.

"Thank you, Mrs. Kim. I don't know what I'd do without your support. I'll need to go in today to deal with... everything. Um Tzuyu is coming to pick me up shortly. I'm grateful you're here to look after the kids while I go".
