Yeongjae's POV
Of all the people in the world, Sora is the last person I ever wanted to see through me this easily.
And the truth?
She's right.
She is the first woman I've ever touched like this.
Not because I couldn't have someone else. Opportunities were there—a lot actually, that I don't even need to search for one. It just came and landed on my lap easily.
Dates, invitations, and women who were more than willing. I'm not naïve. I know the world I live in now, the circles I move in. It wouldn't have been hard.
But none of them were her.
And after everything that happened… I wasn't whole enough to give anyone anything real.
Losing my parents shattered me in ways I didn't even understand at the time. Then watching her remarry, smiling beside another man, building a life that had no space for me in it, finished what grief had started.
I remember standing there, feeling like a stupid kid who had missed his chance before he even knew there was one.
