After the breakup, your heart couldn't help but ache for Haerin, even though you kept your feelings hidden.
One day, a heated argument with a guy trying to flirt with her pushed Haerin to demand that you stop talking to her and meeting her.
For two weeks, you respected her wishes, not reaching out. It seemed she began to miss you, but she didn't let it show.
Then, you posted on your social media, hinting at a date. The caption teased the mystery companion.
Haerin saw it and called you immediately, her voice tense. "You haven't even visited our cat. Do you even love him?"
Caught in the midst of a hangout, you tried to explain. "Haerin, I'm out..."
"Don't lie! I saw you're out withsomeone," she interrupted.
You couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Oh God, I'm with my sister Yunjin, Haerin."
"Whatever, just come now. Now!" Her tone was urgent as she hung up.
Yunjin, your sister, inquired, "Who was that? Your ex-wife?"
You sighed, "Yeah... I need to go... the cat is missing me."
She teased, "The real one or the ex one?"
"that I used to date," you admitted.
"Then good luck on that!" Yunjin wished you as you hurried to Haerin's place, anxious to see her.
The days leading up to this moment had been a whirlwind of emotions.
As you stood at Haerin's door, you took a deep breath, hoping that this meeting would lead to a new beginning for you, not just as ex-lovers, but as something more.
