Artem x gn! Reader

                                  "Dearest Artem, it's been awhile since we've talked. Throughout the years we were together, I've enjoyed spending time with you. We said we'd fight alongside each other when we were younger, lend a shoulder to cry on, and be there at our worst but as of late, something's changed between us. You've grown cold and distant towards me. Whenever I ask if you have time to spare, you always tell me you don't. I've always wondered why you rejected my invites until I figured it out; you've been seeing other women. I'm sorry Artem, but I can no longer fight for us, our relationship. This has helped me come to a realization, a realization that I have to move on. Despite the amount of love and admiration I hold for you, I have to learn to let go. I hope we can stay as friends and I wish nothing but the best for your career. I love you truly, Artem Wing and I hope to hear from you soon!

Signed, [Y/N] [L/N] "

Artem sighs and puts the paper back into the envelope. It's been 3 years since you've left, but you've never left his mind. Regret starts to sink in, a regret of setting you free.

"Feeling alright, Mr. Wing?" Vyn asks, causing Artem to flinch for a second.

"I'm fine." He reassures, not making any eye contact with Vyn. The white haired man walks away from Artem, leaving him alone.

With Vyn's back towards him, he glares in envy. No matter how hard he tries, he'll always be surpassed by him. He's already 1-upped Artem with his two doctorate's, has a stable life, and has [Y/N].

Seeing the two together makes him feel humiliated because of the way he's neglected them. He feels envy whenever they flash their smile at Vyn, envy that gnaws at him.

Theres never a place where he doesn't see the two of you together. It's like god is ridiculing him and his past, a punishment he's forced to endure for eternity.

Artem shuts the door, the soft sounds the rainfall makes gives a calming and soothing environment to relax and chill. Artem takes his shoes off and heads to his desk, pulling out a sheet of paper and a pencil.

"Dearest [Y/N], I'm sorry we haven't ended on the best of terms and I hope you've been fairing well, especially with him. I'm happy you've found somebody to make you happy, even if it hurts me a bit. Letting go of you was my biggest regret of all, I know it's already too late to fix the damage and I wish this was all just a bad dream instead for reality. I wish I can hold you in my arms one last time and tell you I love you. I wish I could change the outcome of our situation, but I have to accept the truth and remember my actions have consequences. I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you needed me most, please take care.

Signed, Artem Wing "

Artem folds the paper and neatly places it inside his desk drawer.

"I wish I had the courage to give this letter to you, like the courage you had when you gave yours to me."
