death by a thousand cuts - [ongoing]

Karina Yu and Winter Kim were each other's first love-meeting as college freshmen who started as friends, then roommates, and eventually something neither of them knew how to let go of.

Almost five years into the relationship, they tried to hold on as life after graduation pulled them in different directions. But reality proved heavier than love, and what they built slowly unraveled under the weight of distance, responsibility, and unspoken exhaustion.

Their breakup was not loud. It was quiet, painful, and unfinished.

Years later, they meet again-older, changed, and carrying the versions of themselves they had to become to survive without each other. The love they once shared still lingers in everything they never said, forcing them to confront what was lost, what was chosen, and what still remains.

'death by a thousand cuts' follows two women as they navigate moving on, rediscovering themselves, and facing each other again in a life that no longer belongs to who they once were. In the end, it is not just about whether they can love again-but whether they can accept who they became after letting go.
