Someone's lies ruin not just someone's life but theirs as well.
"Why? What did I do to deserve your hate? What wrong did I do to you that you don't even want to see my face?"

That memory....Seungcheol on one knee at the airport, surrounded by strangers who paused to witness his trembling confession....still played in her mind like it happened yesterday. It was the moment she felt seen, chosen, and loved... unconditionally.

[Y/N nodded slowly, her expression calm but weighed down.]
Hao:
But... why him? Of all people?
Y/N:
Because... we're alike, in a way. He'll understand. At least... I think he will.
[Hao studied her for a second longer, then gave a small nod.]
Hao:
Okay. I'll go let him know.
