For the first time, she realized something terrifying.
'At our next meeting…either we end everything…or we somehow stay together.'
There was no middle ground. And that uncertainty… it suffocated her.

Meanwhile, Kael sat alone in his apartment bedroom.
For the first time, he questioned himself.
'Was I right...? Or was I wrong...?'
His fingers curled tightly.
'Maybe I should've tried harder… Maybe I should've searched for her more. …'
A bitter thought crossed his mind. 'If I had known… that she liked me too …'
His chest tightened painfully.
'I would've confessed that day… when she was leaving …'
Perhaps he had never truly understood the depth of his feelings…
Not until he stood on the edge of ending his own life.
He took a shaky breath and closed his eyes. Tears slipped down silently, tracing warm lines across his cold skin.
By now, he understood one thing clearly...either they would end up together...
Or they would break apart completely.
