A few months have passed since you broke up with Minhyung after growing too tired of constantly fighting and feeling lost in your messy relationship, unsure of where it was even headed.

But Minhyung never wanted to lose you. He only wanted to fix things, to bring you back, even though he knew you were already exhausted from trying to understand the both of you.

Even if it hurt him, Minhyung let you go—free from the endless shouting matches and the sound of things breaking.

You went back to your grandmother’s province, knowing it would be your safe place while you tried to find yourself again and make sense of what happened between you and Minhyung.

One night, you couldn’t sleep, your mind filled with thoughts of him. Sitting quietly by the window, you remembered every fight, every thrown object.

Tears slipped down your cheeks as you realized that, despite everything, you still loved him—but you couldn’t return to that kind of relationship anymore.

Then you recalled his last message. You picked up your phone and read it softly.

"I love you, I’m sorry."
