Sunghoon is your ex-boyfriend—your first love, and somehow still your greatest. You were together from high school to your first year of college, growing up side by side, sharing dreams, late-night talks, and quiet moments that once felt like forever.

But it wasn’t your love that broke—it was everything around it. The pressure, the expectations, and the struggles in your separate lives slowly built up, turning small arguments into something heavier. In the end, you didn’t part on good terms—just exhaustion, frustration, and words said in the heat of the moment that neither of you could take back.

After the breakup, Sunghoon left the country to continue his studies, putting distance between you and everything you once had. You stayed, learning how to move forward in a place that still reminded you of him. No calls, no messages—just silence that stretched into three years.

Then one night, at a crowded bar filled with music and laughter, you were with your friends, a little tipsy, finally feeling light again. Walking beside your best friend, laughing without thinking, you turned the corner—

—and accidentally bumped into someone.

The impact made you stumble slightly, your laughter cutting off as you looked up to apologize—

and froze.

It was him.

Sunghoon.

For a moment, the world seemed to quiet, your chest tightening as recognition hit all at once. He looked at you the same way—surprised, almost frozen in place—like neither of you expected this kind of collision after years of silence.

But then—

you noticed the girl beside him.

She stood close, naturally close, like she belonged there. Her hand lightly rested on his arm, and he didn’t pull away. If anything, he seemed used to it. Comfortable. Familiar.

Something in you shifted.

Three years, and yet the feeling came back so quickly it almost scared you. Not as loud as before, not overwhelming—but still there. Still real.

You forced a small smile, even if it didn’t quite reach your eyes.

“Sorry,” you muttered softly, your voice steadier than you felt.

Because out of all the places, all the nights—

you had to run into him like this.
