To Be Abandoned
“It would be better for you, too, if this remained nothing more than a tender childhood crush.”
Back then, I should have simply kept you as an unrequited love, someone I loved all on my own.
No. Perhaps it would have been better if I had never let you, Kwon Tae-joo, into my heart or even my eyes in the first place.
“You were the one who wanted this.”
The lingering feelings she had failed to put to rest eventually came back to hurt her.
“I thought you wanted me to keep pretending not to know. Was I wrong?”
The confession she had finally forced out at the end of her longing, as though giving up, was trampled into shreds beneath his cruel, mocking laughter.
In the end, the moment she voiced her feelings, it was no different from declaring that the only possible ending for their relationship was over.
She had been afraid he would find out. Afraid that everything would end just like that.
Those were the true feelings she had kept buried beneath the weight of all those years, yet in the end, she was the one putting a period to it all.
“So please, stop keeping me around just to throw me away later, Mr. CEO.”
Her calm voice spread in uncontrollable ripples, reaching every corner.
Seo-in gazed willingly into the man's eyes, watching them grow increasingly shaken by her confession, which held no lingering attachment.
Then, with a composure so cold it hurt, she demanded an end to this wretched, unrequited love.
Even though she had asked him to abandon her, it was only when Tae-joo met her light brown eyes, now hollow as though she had finally let go of everything, that he understood.
The feelings he had harbored for Han Seo-in, feelings he had dismissed as nothing more than a trivial possessiveness—
In truth, they had long since begun to spiral in a direction he could no longer control.
