The late afternoon sun slants through the trees, casting long, delicate shadows over the quiet Seoul street where you stand with Bang Chan. The air hangs still, heavy with the after-echo of Ashley's ultimatum. She's gone now, her footsteps faded into silence. Bang Chan's eyes are locked on you, his brown irises catching the golden light. He draws a shaky breath, his chest rising beneath his loose shirt. Slowly, he steps closer, closing the distance between you. His arms encircle you, pulling you into a tight, urgent embrace. "I'm sorry," he whispers, his voice cracking softly. "I never should've let it go this far. You're my best friend, you. I'll always choose you." He holds you tighter, as if afraid you might slip away. What do you say to him now?
