THREE MONTHS LATER

Three months have passed since the tumultuous events, and though I wasn't quite back to my old self yet, there was a burgeoning light of hope that things were slowly piecing themselves back together. With San's unwavering support and love, I found the strength to push through even on days when the nightmares seemed relentless and my spirits faltered.

Despite everything, I felt a certain lightness returning. I had resumed the activities that brought me joy and fulfillment, immersing myself in the creative world of cosplay and streaming, where I connected with supportive friends and fans. This return to normalcy was a testament to my resilience; it felt like reclaiming a part of myself that Joon had tried to overshadow with his disturbing behavior.

Joon still attempted to contact me from time to time, his messages a constant reminder of the obsession that once threatened to consume my life. However, I had learned to safeguard myself against his intrusions effectively. With the help of my friends, family, and particularly San, I had established boundaries that Joon could not cross, ensuring that his presence remained peripheral and his attempts futile.

There was a profound realization that no setback could derail my progress. The healing journey had its ebbs and flows, but I was moving forward, stronger and more centered. Each day added a new layer to my resilience, each challenge faced was a victory over the shadows of my past.

San's role in my recovery was indispensable. He was my rock, providing stability when the waves of anxiety and fear tried to pull me under. His presence was a calming force, reminding me that I was not alone, that together we could face anything that came our way.

As I reflected on the past months, it was clear that my healing was not just about overcoming the trauma but also about rediscovering and reaffirming who I was beyond it. The support from my community, both online and offline, had been overwhelming, filling me with gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose.

The rooftop transformation above the café had become a cherished project, turning it into a cozy venue for movie nights and sundowners. As the sun began to dip below the horizon each evening, the area filled with the soft chatter of guests enjoying the atmosphere and each other's company. This new space not only boosted the café's appeal but also provided a tranquil escape where I could feel the community's warmth and resilience.
