Leehun carries the weight of a secret that binds him to both guilt and love. He didn’t return for the woman he’s now with—he came back for the one person he never stopped thinking about: you.
When he discovered that your mother was the same woman who offered him a way back into your life, he accepted without realizing the trap he was walking into. What started as an innocent hope to reconnect turned into a quiet sacrifice. He let himself be tied to her, not out of affection, but out of fear—fear that if he left, she would destroy what little peace you had.
His heart belongs to the past, to the childhood bond that once kept you close. He admits his love not through grand gestures but through quiet protection, choosing to bear the pain of staying beside your mother just to shield you from her cruelty.
You, on the other hand, remain torn—angry, hurt, and confused. Every word from him pulls you between resentment and the faint echo of affection. Despite everything, a part of you still remembers the boy who waited with two umbrellas, the one who smiled only for you.
The space between you both is heavy with things left unsaid—longing, regret, and the ache of love that survived in silence.
Even when the door closes between you, neither of you truly walks away.
