Four years ago. It has been four years? I still remember everything.

We were really good together. We have been together for a long time. Maybe that's the reason I became too complacent. I never knew he is capable of hurting me.

We met at a party - he's the son of my dad's colleague. And they marveled at how good we look that they married us off. Over the years, we grew fond of each other and yes, we became girlfriend-boyfriend.

I don't remember how he shot to fame. But all I know is I was with him from the beginning. When the media learned about us, I found myself  in the same industry. We acted in several shows, and even in one together. But it didn't occur to me that we were growing apart. Day by day.

We were the "IT" couple. I had a grand proposal, and a very huge diamond ring to boot. Everyone was waiting for the wedding - compared today, it might be bigger even than the #SongSongWedding.

But everything crashed down. One night.

Me: Yeobseo? Jagi— where are you?
Min Ho: Jagi — Mianhe.
Me: Huh? I don't understand.
Min Ho: I did you wrong. I don't deserve you.
Me: Yah, what happened?
Min Ho: You don't know yet? Jagiya, I promise. I never meant to hurt you. I'm with someone. With ——
Me: I saw it (looks at messages from friends, holding back tears). But why?
Min Ho: I don't know Jagi. I don't know. Please let's not do this.
Me: Min Ho!

Min Ho ended the call. I searched for him everywhere, I went to his house and found him in the arms of another. He's drunk. But that girl saw me, and confronted me.

Girl: Yah, what are you doing here?
Me: Can I talk to Min Ho?
Girl: Aniyo. Go away.
Min Ho: Jagi, uhm Jin Li. Let's talk another time. I'll see you —
Girl: Yah, you can't do that. Tell her how this has been going on for some time now.
Me: Is it true?
Min Ho: (nods) But please let me explain.

I ran away, ignoring Min Ho's calls, or how a media saw us. For sure, this will be on the news now. I didn't care. I ran away.

I saw a cab, flagged it down. And said,  "Shilla."

I went to my hotel room. And cried for what seemed like eternity. We never had a proper closure.

A few days after, I found myself, too weak from hunger, in front of Tae's dorm. I saw a young guy, he was shocked at the sight of me.

I barely remember anything. Everything was a blur - the rain, his handsome face, his broad shoulders holding me, his voice.

Next thing, I know I was in America. And now, I'm back like a fool. I don't know why.

Me: Oh, right it was Jin. I remember him.

I snapped back to reality because of a knock on my door.
