Youra's recovery had been slow but steady, with Baekhyun taking on the role of her caretaker and friend. His presence had provided a source of comfort during her challenging days in the hospital, and she appreciated his unwavering support. However, there was an absence that Youra couldn't ignore – the absence of Jiyeon, her closest friend.

Once Youra fully recover, she can discharge from hospital, she invited her friends, Baekhyun and Jiyeon to her house. There’s a lot question why Jiyeon doesn’t comes to meet her at hospital.

At dinner time, the three of them – Youra, Jiyeon, and Baekhyun – sat together in the living room, an atmosphere of unease settling around them. The strained conversation and awkward silences had become all too familiar.

As they picked at their food, Youra's gaze shifted between Jiyeon and Baekhyun. She could sense the tension in the air, the unspoken words that seemed to hang heavy between them. Finally, unable to bear the weight of the silence any longer, she cleared .

"Is everything okay between you two?" Youra's question hung in the air, the tension in the room escalating.

Jiyeon's gaze was steady, a mixture of sadness and resolution in her eyes. "Youra, I need to apologize. I know I haven't been there for you as much as I should have during this time."

Youra's brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean? You've both been here with me."

Jiyeon's lips quivered slightly, her voice laden with guilt. "I mean before that, when you were in the hospital. I should have visited you, and I didn't."Youra's eyes widened in surprise, the news unexpected. She looked at Baekhyun, who seemed to avoid her gaze. Confusion swirled within her, and she exchanged a puzzled glance with Jiyeon.

“Youra, there's something I need to talk to you about," Jiyeon's voice wavered, a tension underlying her words.

Youra shifted her attention to Jiyeon, a sense of foreboding settling in the pit of her stomach. "What is it, Jiyeon?" she asked, her curiosity tinged with unease.

Jiyeon's gaze flitted between them, her eyes betraying a mixture of sadness and resignation. "Baekhyun and I... we're not together anymore."

Surprise flickered in Youra's eyes, the news hitting her like a sudden gust of wind. She turned to Baekhyun, who seemed to avoid her gaze, his discomfort palpable. Confusion churned within her, and she exchanged a puzzled glance with Jiyeon, silently pleading for more clarity.

A bittersweet smile tugged at Jiyeon's lips, her gaze distant and pained. "Things change, Youra. People change. Our relationship shifted into something we couldn't hold onto."

Youra's brow furrowed as a sense of unease settled over her. "Jiyeon, there's more to this, isn't there?" She pressed, a mixture of apprehension and curiosity in her voice.

Jiyeon hesitated, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "Baekhyun... he realized he had developed feelings for someone else."

Youra's eyes widened, her heart pounding as the puzzle pieces fell into place. She glanced at Baekhyun, her expression a cocktail of astonishment and understanding. "Someone else? Who?"

Baekhyun finally met her gaze, his eyes a blend of regret and sincerity. "It's you, Youra. I discovered my feelings for you."

A heavy silence engulfed the room, the weight of Baekhyun's confession hanging in the air like a storm cloud. Youra's heart raced, her emotions a turbulent whirlpool of shock and uncertainty. She shifted her gaze from Jiyeon to Baekhyun and back again, her thoughts a chaotic jumble as she tried to make sense of it all.

Jiyeon's voice sliced through the stillness, the tension in the room palpable. "Youra, I want you to know that this wasn't your fault. The end of our relationship was a culmination of our own struggles."

Youra's focus remained locked on Baekhyun, her heart throbbing painfully in her chest. "Baekhyun, is what Jiyeon said true?"

Baekhyun's nod was genuine, his expression tinged with regret. "Yes, Youra. I never intended for any of this to unfold. I never wanted to hurt you."

Taking a deep breath, Youra stru
