The weeks that followed were filled with heartache for both Hazel and Taehyung. They avoided each other at family gatherings, the tension palpable whenever they crossed paths. Hazel focused on her work, pouring her heart into her business as a distraction. But every success felt bittersweet without Taehyung by her side to celebrate.
Taehyung threw himself into his company, trying to drown out the pain with late nights and endless meetings. He missed Hazel more than he cared to admit, and slowly, the walls he had built around his heart began to crack. The memories of their time together, the laughter they shared, and the warmth of her embrace haunted him, reminding him of what he had lost.
One evening, as Taehyung sat alone in his office, he found himself staring at a photo of them from the charity gala. They looked so happy, carefree, and in love. In that moment, he realized he couldn’t keep running from his feelings. He had to confront his past, not just for himself, but for Hazel as well.
