Jay has loved Sunghoon since high school - quietly, painfully, and without ever being chosen. Sunghoon's heart has always belonged to someone else. Someone Jay never tried to compete with. That someone trusted Jay more than anyone else. When circumstances force Jay and Sunghoon into an unexpected marriage, Jay agrees without hesitation - not because he believes he will be loved, but because he made a promise he never wants to break. Sunghoon believes this marriage is Jay's choice - that Jay wanted this, that Jay took away what he loved most. To Sunghoon, everything feels like Jay's fault. But Jay knows the truth is far more complicated. He is only keeping a promise. A promise made out of love, not hope. A relationship built on silence. A slow-burning journey where hatred softens, wounds reopen, and feelings change in ways neither of them expected. Because sometimes, loving someone more means choosing them... even when it hurts.
