Our Second Rendezvous

"Had I known I would die this miserably, I would've tried to live happier,"

----------

Hana used to be friends with AHOF in their childhood days. But she got separated from them and had to live in the city due to her family's circumstances.

Eight years later, Hana was back in AhofVille and met AHOF again. But she didn't want to entangle the nine men with her miserable life and decided to give them the cold shoulder.

She thought one day, she would get out of the hellhole she was in. But that small speck of hope was extinguished as she found herself dying in someone's arms.

Her last moments were filled with regret and self-blaming. Had she known this was her fate, she would've tried to live a happier life instead of succumbing in misery and darkness.

But due to some miracle, she found herself back in the past several months before she died.

Now determined to spend her second chance at life as happy as she could, Hana sought to rekindle her friendship with AHOF. Along the way, she made more friends and happier memories she thought were impossible before.

But unspoken truths lay deeply within yesterday's scars. Will Hana be able to overcome the same or even worse silent battles she couldn't win before? In the face of despair, will she find solace in the warmth of the people who showed her love and joy?

"I can't even say 'love me' anymore."
