Reunion after years apart | Healing | Mutual secret crushes
After working overtime late into the night, she went downstairs to the bar beneath her office building to unwind, only to run into the man who had ignored her confession letter six years ago.
They hadn't seen each other in years. She was disheveled, her face haggard from the grind of work.
He wore a tailored suit and looked more devastatingly handsome than ever.
Comparing the two of them, she felt so discouraged that she decided to quietly leave.
But the man reached out to stop her.
"It's not safe to go home alone when you're drunk. I'll have my driver take you."
She thought he still remembered her, but then he added:
"If anything happened to you, my bar would be in the news tomorrow morning, too."
She thought that if she stopped going to the bar, they would never cross paths again.
But the very next day, he became her client.
"That bar from last night? It's one of my side businesses."
The man who had rejected her confession was now her client.
With two toxic debuffs stacked against her, she finally turned against the first person she'd ever fallen for, back when she was young and just discovering love.
At the celebratory dinner, while everyone else toasted the project's success, she toasted the fact that they could finally go their separate ways.
But after it ended, he took her hand and called her by the childhood nickname only their old classmates knew.
"I was wrong back then. Could you love me one more time?"
During the worst years of his depression, he lived alone abroad, caring for his mother, whose illness was even more severe than his.
He thought his life would stay that way.
Once his mother was gone, he could end his own meaningless life, too.
But one day, while tidying his study, he unexpectedly found the love letter he had overlooked six years earlier.
The young girl's feelings, forgotten in the passage of time, shone a light on his dark life.
Before meeting her again, he thought he would protect his moon and make her happy.
After they reunited, seeing other men by her side changed his mind: he wanted to make the moon his alone.
