Chapter 25

As I sat in the car on my way to the bus terminal, tears streamed down my face, blurring the passing scenery.

The encounter with Jay had left my heart in chaos, a storm of emotions I hadn't anticipated.

I held onto the seat, feeling shaky, while I tried to figure out what I was feeling. It was like a wave of pain had hit me, making me realize that loving someone could hurt so much.

The car moving forward felt like it was showing how far apart my happiness and this pain were.

I wiped my tears, feeling all these strong emotions, and wondered if this is what happens when you love someone deeply.

Nearing the bus terminal, the car's steady sounds and the view outside helped me calm down. My tears slowed, and I took a deep breath to feel better.

When we arrived, Mr. Yoon stepped out of the car and got my luggage from the back, handing it to me.

"Take care, Miss Y/N. I hope you'll feel better soon." Mr. Yoon said, extending his arms for a hug.

I hugged him back, and he softly patted my back to make me feel better. I appreciated his considerate gesture, which brought a smile to my face.

"Goodbye, Mr. Yoon." I told him when we pulled away. "I'll miss you a lot." I smiled. "Thank you for everything that you did to me. You reminded me of my father so much."

Mr. Yoon was touched with my words as he placed his hand on his chest, looking at me dearly. "You're welcome. I'm going to miss you too."

After saying goodbye to Mr. Yoon, I made my way to the line where I needed to buy my bus ticket. As I stood there, thoughts of Jay started to creep into my mind.

I couldn't help but remember our encounter earlier, the emotions it stirred, and the inner struggle I experienced.

I quickly shook my head, dismissing those thoughts away. I knew that dwelling on Jay would only make it harder for me to leave.

I took a deep breath and focused on the task at hand, telling myself that I had to control my feelings in order to manage this goodbye without breaking down.

Luckily, the line was short, so I reached the counter without any hassle. When I got there, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"One ticket to Tongyeong please."

Jay's POV:

Now that Y/N left, I didn't know what to do anymore. I now know that she feels the same way but none of it matters now that she's gone.

I exhaled sharply, telling myself that I wouldn't give up on her easily. With that in mind, I kept moving forward, planning to head straight to the company.

I went to Sihyuk-nim's office and to my surprise, I found both him and manager-nim there.

They exchanged a quick glance, clearly confused by my unexpected visit. Manager-nim was the first to break the silence, raising his eyebrows.

"What brings you here?" he asked, his tone curious and slightly puzzled.

I took a deep breath and stood in front of Sihyuk-nim's desk, my heart beating a little faster than usual.

The air in the room felt charged with a mix of tension and uncertainty. As I looked at him, I couldn't help but wonder how he would react to what I was about to say.

Taking up all my courage, I began to say, "I'm sorry for coming here all of a sudden but I just wanted to tell you something important. And I know that you won't agree with me but I really wanted to try telling this to you."
