The moon cast a gentle glow upon the bedroom, and I'm sitting by her bedside admiring how the moonlight accentuated her delicate features that I adored so much.

I reach out to stroke her hair and let out a sigh of relief. She was knocked out cold ever since the taxi car ride back to her home. It wasn't easy but I managed to carry her all the way up to her room, the hard part was over.

Naeun-ah... Why did you drink so much?

My heart ached to see her crying earlier. As I continue to watch her, I couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion wash over me. To be honest, I was still hurt. I've been dealing with the betrayal of finding out how she kissed another man so soon after our date in Paris. That night we spent together in Paris was one of the most unforgettable moments of my life, along with all the others I've had with her so far - but they now felt like figments.

My mind flashes back and I reminiscence the vivid memories of when we first met on the dance floor, that peaceful night at the Han River, when I introduced her to my Mom on the video call, when we kissed her under the dazzling Eiffel Tower, the way we ran through the hotel corridor laughing like children, holding her hands under the breathtaking Northern Lights, the way her body felt against mine in the shower. Her kindness, her laugh, her touch, and her presence. I wanted more of her.

I wondered how this stranger came into my life to reveal herself to be the missing puzzle piece I'd been searching for. It's truly a mystery how I got so attached to her. I didn't believe in soulmates before but maybe this was what it was. I couldn't think of any other explanation for it.

From the moment I met her, there was this instant connection and familiarity. Like we've met in a past life. The spark between us ignited a flame of passion and love within me that I didn't know I had. Not just for her, but for my life too. Every time spent with her nourished my soul and filled me up with warmth and happiness. She made me want to be the best version of myself.

This past week, every day was a reminder of what life felt like before meeting her. Incomplete.

It was getting late, it was almost dawn. I decided that I'd better leave before the sun would start to rise in the sky. I get up to leave but I look at her sleeping peacefully for the last time.

It isn't going to be easy forgive her for what she did, but I knew in my heart that I didn't want to be without her. I loved her.

I just needed more time.
