The silence became unbearable.
Not loud.
But constant.
Jisoo stood near the window.
Thinking.
"…Why does it still hurt…" she whispered.
She thought she had moved on.
But she hadn't.
Not really.
Meanwhile—
Shen Yan sat alone.
Looking at the ring in his memory.
"…You said you wouldn't take it off…" he murmured.
A small, bitter smile.
"…You lied."
But even as he said it—
He didn't believe it.
Because something told him—
She hadn't.
Later—
Minji watched them both.
From a distance.
"…They know each other…" she whispered.
Not a question.
A realization.
She turned to Mr. Kim.
"…There's something between them," she said.
Mr. Kim nodded calmly.
"Yes."
Minji looked at him.
"…And we're part of it, aren't we…" she added.
A pause.
Mr. Kim didn't answer directly.
But his silence—
Was enough.
