The end of an unrequited love

I finally put an end to the unrequited love I had clung to for eight long years. He never gave me the slightest bit of attention, and on top of that, I was deeply hurt by the heartless whispers people threw at me behind my back. Even so, I kept believing that one day he would turn around and look at me. …But at last, I realized something. It wasn’t love. It was obsession. So I made up my mind. I would forget about the Crown Prince. I would stop getting hurt and start searching for a happiness that belonged to me alone. “This is the end. From now on, I’ll live for myself.” That’s what I had decided—yet… “What is my fiancée doing here?” He appeared before me as Emperor and called out to me as if nothing had ever happened. The past I thought had left with him hadn’t ended at all, and my unrequited love began to shake my heart once more. Why now…? What on earth is he thinking? A woman determined to end her love, and a man who refuses to believe it’s over. I ask myself about the scars left behind by eight years of one-sided love. This time… will I truly be able to put an end to it?
