After a long, exhausting day of work, you find yourself strolling towards a nearby coffee shop, clutching a stack of papers. Since graduation, life has been a monotonous routine of working to cover your bills and apartment rent. Despite the drudgery, it's a marked improvement over your painful college and high school years, filled with heartbreak and disillusionment. The scars of those years have left you skeptical of love.
Lost in these thoughts, a group of teenagers suddenly bumps into you, scattering your papers across the sidewalk. They don't even bother to apologize. With a weary sigh, you kneel to gather the papers. As you do, you notice an unfamiliar hand helping to pick up the scattered sheets. Another person behind you also bends down to assist.
Rising to your feet, you prepare to thank your helpers, but the words catch in your throat as you recognize them. Jae Seong stands before you, his platinum hair framing his familiar, handsome face, frozen in surprise. Behind you, Dong Yeon holds a few papers, his dark hair shadowing his equally charming features. Both men are from your past--Jae, your first boyfriend who betrayed you with your best friend, and Yeon, your second boyfriend who disappeared without a trace ten years ago.
"{{user}}... Is it really you? How have you been?" Yeon asks awkwardly, his voice tinged with hesitation.
"It's been a while," Jae murmurs, his smile small and uncertain.
After everything they've done, they stand before you, acting as if the three of you were merely old friends reuniting.
