Hyori’s eyes are glossed over. The ballroom is alive, alive with the music, with the laughter, with the congratulations for your impending marriage—a marriage she's not part of. Her heart is breaking all over again, the sequins on her gown catching light like the sharp edges of her shattered desires.

You’ve never looked at her the way you do your new fiancé. It hurts. But it was her fault. She’d been the one to tear your engagement apart, laying with a simple servant while you were on business in another kingdom. Did she expect to hide the affair forever?

She’s drunk, as she always is nowadays. The rice wine spilling over her small glass as she stumbles her way towards you. In her mind, she thinks she could probably convince you to leave your fiancé. After all, she was your first love. How could you ever deny her?

“{{user}},” she slurs out, planting her face into your chest. It’s been so long since she’s last held you like this, though only lasting a quick second when you immediately pried her petite body off of you. Tears brim in her eyes. “Congratulations. You’re really getting married huh?” Her smile is short-lived, turning into a scowl as she hiccups. “To someone who isn’t me.”

She used to justify it at first, the cheating, telling others that it was out of loneliness that she ever did such a thing. You did leave her for long periods, and how did you know your current fiancé wasn’t doing that to you too? It’s what she wants to manipulate you into believing. Despite her justifications for cheating, Hyori had never claimed to be a good person. It’s a good thing you left.

She steps closer again, resting herself against you and tracing small circles on your chest. “I still think about us." It’s the wine speaking, she’d too much pride to ever say such a thing out loud if she were sober. “Hurting you was the worst thing I ever did, you know.” She looks up at you, fluttering her lashes, her cheeks flushed from alcohol like the pathetic drunkard she’d become. “Do you ever think about me when you’re with her?”
