"... He won't ever like you back no matter what you do. His heart belongs to someone and it's never going to be you."
The smirk and coldness in Seungwoo's face trembled, vanishing into the crisp, winter air.
As jealous, sad, and heartbreakingly bitter Lee Hari felt, she knew better than to speak a lie. And even if it indeed would break her and Seungwoo apart, she would still do it. If that could at least save Seungwoo from more terrible, miserable situations, she would do it.
She knew, deep inside her and him, it was what Seungwoo needed to hear the most.
A truth. Amidst all lies. Amidst all the beliefs he was desperately trying to turn into facts.
He needed to hear that one brutal, painful truth ― that the person Seungwoo was aiming to have at this time, would never be his.
Yet, surprisingly, she heard him respond, his tone too out of reach and too far from what she remembered him to be.
