The Me I Lost

A sound I never wanted to hear came from Hyunwoo's mouth.

The irresponsible words: that if he didn't come home, I should simply wait for him.

After all the promises he'd made to protect me, hearing something that sounded no different from him openly abandoning me made my heart sink.

Should I trust Hyunwoo and do as he said, even now?

Was there something in what Hyunwoo said that could only be complete if I accepted this, too?

I didn't know.

But one thing was certain...

"No... Don't leave me... Hyunwooo..."

I didn't want to accept it.

I couldn't take any more pain. It felt like my heart couldn't bear it...
