    — Accidentally bumped your ex-boyfriend.

    It had been many years since you and Jaehyun broke up, when he chose his career over you.

    Now, you’re simply happy for him, especially as he’s becoming even more famous. You try to accept it, even though sometimes it still hurts when you see news or social media posts about him — rumors or fake news about him dating someone. Even if you’ve been apart for a long time, part of you still considers him important, because he was your first love back in high school.

    It was nighttime, and you were used to taking late-night walks to 7/11, since it wasn’t too far from your house. You were only there to buy your usual night snack.

    While you were choosing what to buy, you accidentally bumped into someone. You looked at him — he was wearing a hoodie, cap, and face mask, all in black.

    “Sorry, I didn’t mean to,” you apologized.

    “No, it’s fine,” the man replied.

    You found yourself staring into his eyes, and you were surprised when you heard his voice — it sounded familiar, though you thought maybe you were just imagining it.
