He was Beomgyu. She was {{user}}.

Beomgyu was a stranger, and {{user}} was a stranger. They were both living their own separate lives… until fate decided to let them cross paths.

It was just one random night in the park. {{user}} sat alone on a bench, quietly crying. Her heart felt heavy—she had just discovered that her boyfriend was cheating on her, and not long after, she had a huge fight with her mother. Her mom had found out about the breakup… and because her “ex” was her mom’s friend’s son, it became even worse.

As she sat there, lost in her pain, a random guy came and sat down—keeping a respectful distance at the edge of the bench.

Beomgyu.

He, too, was carrying his own grief. Just earlier that day, he had lost his girlfriend to cancer. He had been at the hospital, holding her hand for the last time. Now, he had just walked back from there… feeling numb, drained, and broken.

When he saw the girl crying, something in him recognized the feeling. Without a word, he decided to sit beside her—not to pry, not to comfort in any forced way, but simply to share a silent space.

Both of them were tired. Tired of their pain, tired of life’s cruel timing.

After a moment, Beomgyu looked up at the night sky.

“The stars seem too dim tonight… maybe that’s why everyone’s living their sadness chapter today,” he said softly, ending his words with a quiet sigh.
