The night was silent.
But inside—
Nothing was calm.
Man Ning stood in her room.
The ring in her hand.
Her fingers trembling slightly.
"…Kevin…" she whispered again.
This time—
The name didn't feel distant.
It felt close.
Too close.
Her heart beat faster.
Her breathing uneven.
"…Why does it hurt…" she said softly.
She closed her eyes.
And this time—
The memories didn't stop.
They came.
All at once.
A small apartment.
Laughter.
Late nights.
Two people.
Together.
"…Jisoo…" a voice called.
Her eyes opened suddenly.
"…Jisoo…" she repeated.
Her name.
Her real name.
Man Ning stepped back.
"No…" she whispered.
Another flash.
Fighting.
Tears.
Misunderstanding.
A goodbye.
"…Don't go…" she cried.
"…I have to…" his voice answered.
Her breath broke.
"…Kevin…" she whispered.
And everything—
Connected.
Her past.
Her pain.
Her love.
She dropped to her knees.
Tears falling silently.
"…I remember…" she said.
"…Everything…"
At the same time—
Shen Yan stood alone.
Restless.
Unstable.
"…Kevin…" he said again.
His head started hurting.
Sharp.
Uncontrollable.
He held the table tightly.
"…What is happening…" he whispered.
Then—
A memory broke through.
A girl.
Crying in front of him.
"…Don't leave…" she said.
His breath stopped.
"…Jisoo…" he whispered.
Another flash.
A ring.
A promise.
"I'll come back…"
His eyes widened.
"…No…" he said.
More memories came.
Faster.
Stronger.
Every moment.
Every word.
Every mistake.
"…Jisoo…" he said again.
His voice breaking.
"…I remember…"
Silence.
Heavy.
Unavoidable.
Back in her room—
Jisoo sat on the floor.
Tears falling freely now.
"…It was him…" she whispered.
"…Shen Yan…"
Her breath trembled.
"…Kevin…"
The truth hit her completely.
"…It was always him…"
At the same time—
Shen Yan stood frozen.
"…Man Ning…" he whispered.
Then—
"…Jisoo…"
The connection complete.
The truth revealed.
But along with it—
Came pain.
Regret.
And everything they had lost.
Two different places.
Two broken hearts.
Finally remembering—
The same past.
But not knowing—
What to do next.
