    The short story is now complete | It has a powerful aftertaste 😭 The protagonist is betrayed and depressed in the beginning, but the later scenes are incredibly satisfying to watch. The ending shows the female lead's independence and clear-headedness; she doesn't get back together with the scumbag. It was a very enjoyable read that I finished in one go.
