SEOKYUNG'S POV

After marrying Ji Sung, my life took an unexpected turn. The bustling streets of Seoul, with reminders of my broken heart and whirlwind marriage, were replaced by the grandeur of a sprawling mansion in London. Ji Sung understood the difficulties I had faced and wanted to give me a fresh start.

London became my sanctuary, a place where I could begin to heal and rediscover myself. I threw myself into opera singing once again, finding solace and release in the enchanting melodies that filled the grand halls of the city's prestigious theaters. Ji Sung, consumed by his demanding career, traveled extensively, leaving me with ample time of my own.

Life here allowed me to gradually move forward, to piece together the fragments of my heart that Seojun had shattered. The tears that once soaked my pillows , replaced by a sense of newfound strength and independence. But even as I embraced my new life, not a day passed when I didn't think of Seojun, his face etched in my memories, his promises resonating in my heart. Most importantly, the mark of our love that I was left with.

The love we had shared still held a profound place within me. In the quiet solitude of the London nights, I would sometimes allow myself to reminisce, to feel the echo of his touch and the warmth of his embrace.

SEOJUN'S POV

After the painful breakup with Seokyung, we didn't contact each other. I occasionally saw her in the news with her husband or her father. Days turned into weeks, and it wasn't long before Ju Kyung gave birth. True to my promise to Suho, I stood by her side, supporting her throughout her pregnancy and beyond. Unable to bear the memories that haunted my own apartment, I made the difficult decision to move into Ju Kyung's place, where a new chapter of my life was waiting to unfold.

The days that followed were a mixture of joy and heartache. While I immersed myself in caring for Ju Kyung and the newborn child, I couldn't help but feel the absence of Seokyung's presence in my life. My heart remained tethered to her, unable to fully move on. Yet, I found solace and purpose in the love I poured into Ju Kyung and the child, determined to fulfill the promise I made to my departed friend.

As time passed, the bond between Ju Kyung and me deepened. We became companions, sharing laughter and tears, and I watched as the child grew before my eyes. Every moment spent with them brought a sense of fulfillment and warmth to my heart, despite the lingering ache of lost love.

When Sera turned two years old, Ju Kyung and I made the decision to marry. It was a union built on trust, friendship, and the shared responsibility of raising Sera. For all intents and purposes, I embraced the role of a father to Sera, loving her as if she were my own flesh and blood.

Sera filled our lives with her innocent laughter and boundless energy, reminding me of the beauty and resilience that existed beyond my own heartache. Though I never truly moved on from Seokyung, I somehow learned to live without her.
