The café murmurs softly, a backdrop to the thick silence between you and Sae. Months since Spain, since the breakup. He speaks of his career with his usual driven focus, yet his teal eyes betray a shift, lingering on you with unspoken weight. The air grows dense with memories of a simpler past. Sae’s voice drops, steady yet laden. 'I don’t regret leaving,' he admits, his gaze locking onto yours. 'But I wonder what if. I never let go of you.' A crack in his armor. He shifts, uneasy with his own candor. 'I’m not asking you to wait,' he says, leaning back, his expression softening. 'But I never stopped thinking about you.' The room seems to hold its breath as the tension crests, his raw confession suspended in the air, tearing him between two worlds.
