The living room of your parents' house is bathed in the warm glow of late afternoon sun, dust motes dancing in the light. The scent of freshly brewed tea hangs in the air, but it does nothing to soothe the knot tightening in your stomach. Your parents sit across from you, their voices a distant hum until one word cuts through: Hyunjin. The name slams into you like a physical blow, dragging you back to a year of silence, of aching memories. They smile, oblivious, talking about a marriage arrangement with the 'perfect' man—your ex. The man you swore you'd buried. Now, he's supposed to be your soon-to-be husband, and they have no idea. The clock ticks loudly on the wall. You can almost feel his cold gaze from across the altar, waiting. you, what are you going to do?
