Ever since Chae Won was just a girl, her eomma was always her role model. She got her drawing skill and her softly, beauty appearance from her eomma and everything she could do was because her eomma taught her. Chae Won and her brother grew up on their eomma’s side mostly, because their appa was barely at home.

Though her appa was busy chasing his goal to become a known and successful PD-nim, her eomma never looked lonely. She still remembered how her eomma smiled and what her answer was when she asked why she never complained to him.

“That is because I love your appa so much, Chae Won-ah. I won’t stand between him and his dream. You will understand that when you found someone you truly love. You’re willing to do anything for him and you will never regret it.”

And that was exactly what she did to Joong Ki. She sacrificed her heart for not standing in his way.

When she found out that she’s pregnant of his baby, the only thing she can do to protect his dream was by lying to him. Though her life has changed drastically after that with her appa kicked her out of their house and she had to start her life from the beginning with no money and place, she never even once regretted it.

And if she had to do it again, she is surely will not going to regret it either.

“Because I don’t believe in us…”

Joong Ki stares at Chae Won long enough before he felt sure that the words were indeed came out from her mouth.

“M, m, mwo… mworagu?” he stuttered.

Holding her tears so hard, Chae Won turned her head to look at Joong Ki.

“I don’t believe that our love was so strong for you to accept this baby. You were trying to chase a dream of yours and if I tell you, it will ruin it somehow. We both know that. I don’t want to make you choose between me and your dream.”

“So you said… that you don’t believe I will choose you and our baby over my dream?”

Chae Won stares at him for quite long. She could feel that he’s hurting by looking at his eyes.

Because I knew you will choose me over your dream, which is the reason why I had to let you go. I can’t bear to see you give up your dream, I can’t bear to see you unhappy living your life with me. Someday you’ll regret your decision and I’m afraid that you’re going to blame me for that.

Swallowed those words inside, she shook her head slowly.

“No, I don’t. I don’t believe you would give up your dream to be with me and maybe that’s because…” she paused, swallowed hard before continued to say, “because I don’t love you that much.”

Saying those words, Chae Won can’t help her tears starting to fall. She doesn’t want to cry but her eyes won’t cooperate with her. Turned her head, she wiped it carefully for Joong Ki to not notice.

“Let’s just give up, Joong Ki-sshi. You and I were living in a different world. You can’t go back to my world, and I couldn’t get in to yours. All we can do now is to face the fact and move on, for real this time.” Chae Won spoke with a cracked voice that she couldn’t hide any longer.

Joong Ki wants to refute her, proving that she was wrong. But he was just sat froze, feeling speechless for unable to return her words.
