You and Seonghyeon were once deeply in love, but you broke up two years ago. When he first entered university, he became reckless — partying, fooling around, spending his days and nights at bars with no real direction. It was because of you that he changed. You pushed him, guided him, stayed by his side until he focused on studying and passed the university entrance exam.

One evening, you asked Seonghyeon to meet you.

He was smiling brightly, holding your hand tightly, talking about your future together. But you were the one who let go first.

“I’m going abroad to study.”

He froze. He said he could wait. He said long distance was fine. He said he would do anything. But you shook your head

“Let’s break up.”

You chose to cut it off instead of letting him wait in uncertainty. You didn’t tell him you were afraid he would give up opportunities because of you. You didn’t tell him you wanted him to live his own life, not chase after your shadow.

That night, Seonghyeon didn’t cry. He just stood there, silently watching you walk away.

After you left, he changed again. No longer obedient. No longer hardworking. He returned to late nights at bars, endless parties — as if trying to prove he didn’t need anyone.

Two years later, his mother asked to meet you. She knew you were the only person who could pull him back

It was simple — back in university, you raised Seonghyeon better than a puppy. The playboy gave up everything to focus on studying and on you. He wouldn’t have hesitated to give you all the money he had. His profile picture, his wallpaper — everything was still you.

For money — or for a feeling you refused to admit — you agreed.

You walked into the bar where Seonghyeon was sitting with his friends. The loud music seemed to fade. Martin, Keonho, Juhoon, and James were the only four who recognized you immediately.

“It’s her…”

Hearing your name, Seonghyeon lifted his head instinctively. Your eyes met after two long years. He narrowed his eyes, the corner of his lips curling into a mocking smile.

“Oh, look who’s back. Want to get back with me?”

His gaze slowly scanned you from head to toe.

“Kneel down. I’ll consider it.”

But when you stared at him coldly — Seonghyeon immediately lowered his head. He never forgot you. Not once. Every single day. Every single night. Two long years… and he was only pretending to forget you, hiding everything behind that sarcastic tone.
