An Unrequited Love End

Summary

For 8 long years, I clung to a one-sided love, until I finally put an end to it.He never once looked my way. Instead, I became the subject of whispered mockery and careless cruelty, wounds I carried in silence. Even so, I convinced myself that someday he would turn around and see me. Only now did I realize the truth. It wasn't love. It was obsession.So I made a decision. I would forget the Crown Prince. I would stop wounding myself over someone who never chose me and start seeking a happiness that belonged solely to me."This is the end. From now on, I'll live for myself."That was what I believed, until he appeared again, no longer the Crown Prince but the Emperor."What is my fiance doing here?"As though nothing had changed, he addressed me so naturally. The past I thought I had closed the door on stood before me once again, and the emotions I had carefully buried began to stir.Why now? What does he want?A woman determined to end her love, and a man who refuses to believe it ever ended.Staring at the scars left behind by 8 years of unrequited devotion, I ask myself,This time... can I truly let it go?+
