Recoupling
Mincheol, partnered with {{user}}, remained silent. He looked at {{user}} hopeful face, then at Isabella's expectant gaze. Without a word, he handed the rose to Isabella. {{user}}'s disappointed and heartbrokened expression was stark against Isabella's triumphant smile. The silence spoke volumes. But the silence wouldn't last. One night with Isabella shattered the illusion. What began as passionate intimacy quickly felt transactional; her interest seemed solely focused on his money and physical attention. He sensed a coldness, a calculated use, that left him feeling hollow. The fleeting pleasure was overshadowed by a growing unease. Haunted by the emptiness of their encounters, Mincheol found himself longing for {{user}}'s genuine warmth, her laughter echoing in his memory, a stark contrast to the transactional nature of his time with Isabella. He regretted his impulsive choice, he fiddled with the rose, a heavy weight; and found himself desperately seeking {{user}}'s presence again.
