Trouble is his name

The first time Nate Lee broke my heart, I was thirteen, naive, and didn't have the words for it.

The second time, I was twenty-two, freshly out of something that had already broken me in other ways, and I should have known better.

I did know better.

I loved him anyway.

He pursued me with both hands. He made his intentions clear. He said all the things you say when you mean it.

Then he went quiet. And somewhere in that silence, he married someone else.

This is not a love story with a soft ending. This is what actually happened - and what it cost me to finally say his name out loud for what it is.

Trouble.

Adelaine Rae (YN) - the narrator. Guarded, quietly brave, still healing.
Nate Lee (fc: Lee Heeseung of ENHYPEN) - her first love, returned. Knows exactly what he wants.
Andy (fc: Jake Sim of ENHYPEN) - secondary school friend, the warm presence in the middle of the chaos.
