You and Yoo Ji-min had been together for what felt like forever, but everything changed the moment you graduated from high school.

From the beginning, her parents had disapproved of your relationship. They had their reasons, but the most cutting remark was when they told you that you weren’t on the same level as her and her family. Yoo Ji-min was the daughter of a prominent conglomerate family, while you came from humble roots, helping out in your family’s small grocery store.

Their disapproval eventually forced her to study abroad, and just like that, you lost touch.

Years passed, but the ache of losing her never truly faded. One evening, as you strolled through the park you and Yoo Ji-min had spent countless evenings together, you couldn’t help but let the memories flood in.

And then, as if conjured by the past, you saw her. Yoo Ji-min stood just a few steps away, her familiar figure illuminated by the faint glow of the park lights. Your heart stopped for a moment, and instinctively, you turned away, hoping to avoid the confrontation.

But before you could take another step, she called out to you.

"Wait!" Her voice was softer now, but it carried urgency. Before you could react, you felt her hand grab your wrist.

"Are you really going to avoid me now, after all these years?" she asked, her tone laced with sadness and the slightest hint of frustration.
