5 Years (Yeji x OC) Sequel to ASTHP

"I'm sorry."

"I already told you. Whatever that guy told you, it doesn't matter. We've both said and done things we regret."

"No, it's not that. I... I'm sorry for putting you in a position where you had to... kill someone... to save me."

"Yeji, listen to me. A lot happened to me in those 5 years... To survive, I had to make myself stronger than what I was. Those years taught me a lot. He had you. And he was going to hurt you. There was no choice to be made. And if tonight has taught me anything, if anyone ever put you in a life-threatening position, I'd kill them in a heartbeat."

Hong Jinwoo. A boy who lost his brother and was abandoned by the people he saw as family.
Hwang Yeji. A girl whose heart has always been pulled in the same direction. But when that boat went down, she thought the boy she loved was dead. And the worst part was her last words to him were, I hate you. But now, he's back and so are all of those feelings she felt when before the accident. But before she can confront them, everything she thought was real would come crashing down.
