The Truth Untold | a K. NJ FF
38 bab Lengkap They were husband and wife-by name, by law-but not by heart. She loved him with a tenderness that never wavered, even after learning the bitter truth: Namjoon believed he could never love Eunseo back. He didn't intend to hurt her, yet every smile she gave him, every gentle word, carved deeper into his guilt. He cared for her more than he allowed himself to admit, but in his mind, care was not love. And he hated himself for leading her on.
She never asked for his heart, only his presence, content with the quiet moments of sharing her day with him. But to Namjoon, each of those moments felt like a cruel reminder of what he thought he couldn't give. Until one evening, as she was speaking with that same unshaken warmth, his walls cracked.
"Please... stop loving me."
It wasn't anger. It wasn't cruelty. It was desperation-born from a heart that unknowingly loved her, yet was too clouded by guilt to realize it.
As those words linger in the silence, their fragile bond begins to tremble. This is a story of love given, love denied, and the aching journey of a man who will come to understand his heart-perhaps when it's too late, or perhaps just in time...
