When was it? Three years ago?

Her life was great, amazing. Something that she never thought she'd experience when she thought about her future as a kid.

She found out that she could sing, act, write, dance, and basically every single thing she got her hands on, she would exceed in it. Many considered her "the perfect example", which wasn't wrong. She had the looks, the brains, the humour, and the personality. She was everything anyone ever wished to be.

But did she like it? Not exactly.

With a small, velvet box in her left hand, she sauntered down the busy streets of Busan. Adjusting her hat over her forehead to remain anonymous as she swerved through the squished crowd. The last thing she would want was for someone to recognize her and cause a commotion.

Since her face was already all over the big screens and billboards, there was no avoiding fans or paparazzi when she was outside, only if she was covered in odd clothing, then nobody would even bat an eye.

Now entering the building of her girlfriend's company, she took off her hat and mask, exhaling the exhaustion she felt building up in her system. She felt so free.

"Ms. Shin, Ms. Yujin is busy." 

Her eyebrows twisted at the words. She's never too busy to lock the doors.

"I just want to take her out for lunch, is that okay with her?" Yuna asked, checking her wristwatch that was gifted by her girlfriend.

"Well, Ms. Yujin exclusively ordered me to not let anyone in."

"Not even me?"

"...I'm afraid so."

Sighing, the model ran her hand through her dark locks, looking around the floor. It was filled with employees that now seemed too familiar with her, due to her various visits, nobody paid attention to her.

Yuna's heart sank as she contemplated what could be keeping Yujin so occupied that she wouldn't even want to see her. Thoughts raced through her mind, but she tried to push away any negative assumptions. Maybe Yujin was just caught up in work or had an important meeting. Nevertheless, a nagging feeling of unease lingered within her.

Determined to find out what was going on, Yuna decided to take matters into her own hands. She knew she had to confront Yujin and get to the bottom of this. With a heavy heart, she made her way to the elevator and pressed the button to the exclusive floor where Yujin's office was located.

As the elevator doors opened, Yuna took a deep breath and stepped out into the quiet and dimly lit hallway. She could feel a sense of unease creeping up inside her, but she pushed it aside, reminding herself that she needed to remain strong.

Approaching Yujin's office, Yuna noticed that the door was slightly ajar. Her heart raced as she cautiously pushed it open, revealing a scene that shattered her world.

Never would she have thought that the person who she held closest to her heart would break it in just a second. 

There, in Yujin's office, was her and Minju, a close friend who had visited the two of them often, locked in an intimate embrace.

This wasn't how her day was supposed to go. Yuna was supposed to propose, and everything would flow from there. 

Tears welled up in Yuna's eyes as she quietly closed the door, retreating from the painful sight. She leaned against the hallway wall, her breaths coming in shallow gasps as she tried to process the truth she had just uncovered.

The realization hit Yuna with a wave of conflicting emotions. Hurt, anger, and betrayal coursed through her veins. She couldn't fathom how Yujin, the person she thought she knew so well, could do this to her.

In that moment, Yuna made a decision. She knew she deserved better than to be treated with such disregard. Gathering her strength, she wiped away her tears and straightened her posture. It was time to confront Yujin and end their relationship.


Yuna walked away from Yujin's office, leaving behind the shattered fragments of her heart.

Was she too soft? Too nice? Too boring? Lame? Vanilla? What did Minju have that she didn't?

As far as she knew, she was the woman who had everything, not a single thing unchecked. So why was she the one that got cheated on?

Was there something wrong with her?
