JINWOON STARED AT the woman sitting across him, a phone pressed in her ear. Studying her features, he felt a sharp, searing pain inside; like he was being punched in the gut. Her beautiful features always adorned with a smile were now replaced by a face he almost couldn’t recognize. The dark circles evident around her large eyes clearly showed all those nights she’d been up calling those people who could possibly tell where she was. She’d been suffering like this to find her.

Her. Jung Nicole. Their best friend. The woman he was supposed to marry.

It had already been a week since she’d been gone. And until now, no one could tell where she was. No one knows what happened to her on that day of their wedding. He knew something like this would happen. That Nicole wouldn’t let herself be tied in a marriage she didn’t want. But he still went through with it. Because he loved her too much; loved her too much he’d do anything to get her. Even if it meant losing the friendship they had for years. The friendship he always hoped to be something more.

“I’ve already called all our friends Jinwoon. But no one knew where she was. Oh my God. Where is she? What if something bad happened to her?!”

Despite the tightening feeling in his chest, he managed to give her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry Min, we’ll find her.”
