Lia is helping Namjoon to move on slowly. They spend time together everyday, often go for a night walks under the stars, just the two of them. If they can't go out, they spend hours talking on the phone, sharing thoughts and feelings until the night fades away.

Months are passing and they are growing closer to each other. They've reached the point that now words have become useless to them; their eyes speaks volume. Where a shared glance can hold their deepest emotions, reveals unspoken thoughts and feelings. In those moments, the world around them fades away and all that matters is the connection they share through their gaze.

Right now the two of them are sitting on a bench in the park. Neither of them is speaking, they're simply savoring each other's presence and comfort that comes from being together.

The silence breaks when Namjoon calls her "Lia?"

She smiles "Hmm?"

"Do you think I already moved on from Yumi?" He looks at her and sees that her smile slowly fades away.

"I don't know. It's your heart so you know the answer better. But it doesn't matter, I'll always be there for you. Moving on isn't something easy but you have to try atleast." She smiles at him a little.

He looks at her as his lips curls upward gently "Lia, I think I found her."

"Who?"

"My true love."

"W-what?" She doesn't know why but she started feeling heart broken again. Why am I feeling this? I should be happy for him. I knew I never had a chance with him then why?

"Yeah, I found my true love."

She force herself to smile "Who is it?"

"It's someone you know." He keeps noticing her every reaction and movements, his gentle smile growing warmer with each passing moment.

"Someone I know? Who is it?"

"I love you." He says.

"W-what but-"

Before she could complete her sentence he presses his lips on hers.

She widens her eyes on shock, she can't process what's happening. Hold on! He loves me?

He breaks the kiss and takes her hands on his and looks at her with so much affection "I love you Lia. I know it's surprising but your every actions, your every words makes my heart race faster then a normal speed. It didn't happen before but after breaking up with Yumi, I started feeling these feelings towards you. Don't think that I'm replacing you or something but I really love you. That's why I waited five months to confirm my feelings. And now I'm sure 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞."

She doesn't know what to say because she is now overwhelmed as tears of happiness starts filling her eyes "B-but what about my feelings?"

He smiles and hugs her "I can feel your heart. The day I hugged you was the day I became sure that you love me. I can hear how your heart beats around me. Even now, try listening how our hearts are beating."

She buries her head on his chest more because of shyness as Namjoon chuckles at her cuteness.

Yumi is waiting for Subin to come from office as she needs to warm the dinner before he eats and then needs to clean the kitchen. She is sleepy but still sitting on the couch in the living room with patience because she knows very well what can happen if he doesn't find the food perfect.

𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂𝒈𝒐...

That day Subin came back home from office and went upstairs to freshen up as Yumi warmed the food. He came downstairs and sat on a chair and took a bite.

Yumi was nervously looking at him because his reaction turned dark after taking a bite, he slid the plate towards Yumi and said "Is this what you call food? Try eating it."

She didn't make a move so he got up and went in the kitchen. He brought the salt container and mixed 6 spoons of extra salts in the food. Just by seeing it Yumi got scared and the next movement of Subin made her terrified.

He forced her mouth open and put the salty food in. "You love salty food right?! Then eat this and tell me how is it!"

Her eyes started filling with tears because of the intense and briny taste of the salt. She started craving for water so she forwarded her hand to take it but he moved the water away.

"You need water honey? No,no you can't get that now. You can have water after you finish swallowing the food in your mouth."

He said and waited for her to swallow. After tons of struggles she swalloed the salty food and drank water.

He gripped her hair and slapped her 3 times "These slaps are for showing me your shitty tears." Then he left from there.

Yumi flinches at the sound of the loud knocks on the door, she gets up and opens it.

There was Subin and his girlfriend at the door drunk, Yumi wasn't expecting his girlfriend here at this hour but still is she someone to interfere? She let them enter and his girlfriend smirks at Yumi "Hi, maid."

Subin also smirks and then the two of them goes upstairs while kissing each other as if there is no tomorrow.

Yumi lowers her gaze as tears of pain, embarasment, broken heart start falling.

Why? Again why only me?

Yumi is preparing the table for breakfast, suddenly she feels someone's presence behind her so she turns around and sees Subin's girlfriend with a robe wrapped around her body loosely.

His girlfriend smirks and grips Yumi's chin "Hi maid, hope you are having a good time with my boyfriend in his house. You know what? Sometimes I feel very bad that you can't get all the things I can get from him. *She moves the robe around her neck a little bit and points on the hickeys* did you see these? Can you ever get these from him? I don't think so. To get these you have to fix your fashion sense."

His girlfriend says those painful words to her and leaves her chin. She looks at from head to toe with a smirk and sits on a chair and starts eating breakfast. While tears of pain is keep falling from Yumi's eyes.

I don't want these marks. I don't wanna look good for that monster.
