“Yura, just like I told you yesterday, is my sister,” Park Chan-yeol began, revealing a truth that seemed to drift aimlessly. “When I was nine, my father often accompanied my mother to the hospital. However, my mother's health did not improve; instead, her complexion grew increasingly pale, her hair thinned out, and she became more and more emaciated. One day, my mother brought home a girl who was two years older than me. Her name was Yura, and my mother said she was my sister. Not long after, my mother passed away. My father was heartbroken but still had to focus on his business. The one who stayed by my side was Sister Yura. During those days without a mother, I would hide in my room, refusing to eat or speak. It was Sister Yura who patiently fed me and talked to me tirelessly, helping me gradually emerge from that terrible darkness. At that time, I often thought that Sister Yura must be the angel sent to me by my mother.”
“And then?” Anna took a deep breath, already guessing the story's conclusion but still wanting to hear it from Park Chan-yeol himself.
“Later, Sister Yura was kidnapped by enemies of my father's business and was killed during their escape. Seeing me in despair and wanting to ensure my safety, my father sent me to Australia to live. It was there that I met Kim Mi-kyung. After returning home, I became a trainee at S.M. Company. One time when you came to find Andy, your smile instantly reminded me of Sister Yura. However, as things progressed, I realized there was actually a significant difference between you two. So whether you believe it or not, the reason I want to be friends with you now is simply because of you.”
Hearing this, Anna smiled lightly and looked at Park Chan-yeol. “Is it because I am me? Then let me ask you: when you came to find me last night, was it really because of me? Or was it because it was Sister Yura's memorial day and you wanted to find a trace of her in me?”
Park Chan-yeol found himself speechless at Anna's question.
At that moment, Anna understood everything clearly. She realized why the beloved Park Chan-yeol always sought her out for conversation. Why he went out of his way to help her? Why he seemed so concerned about her? Why he wanted to be friends with her? Why he shared late-night snacks with her?
It turned out that there was a shadow within her—because of this shadow, she received opportunities that other girls could only dream of.
Fate had played a huge joke on her.
Fortunately, she had managed to stay awake all this time; fortunately, today’s slap and these words had truly awakened her.
What was there to be sad about? She should be happy instead; it was thanks to those similarities that Park Chan-yeol rescued her from that dark basement. And it was also due to those similarities that she gained this friend…
But…
But... repayment.
But why, at this moment, did it suddenly feel so surreal, as if Park Chan-yeol seemed so unfamiliar? This time, he didn't need to deliberately create distance between them, because they had already become worlds apart.
"I'm going to work," Anna suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.
"It's still raining outside. I'll walk you," Park Chan-yeol said, reaching out to grab Anna's arm, but she quickly dodged away.
"No need, Mr. Park Chan-yeol." Anna, who had never used honorifics before, suddenly began to address him this way. The respect felt like a needle of ice piercing through his heart, both painful and cold.
Originally wanting to chase after her, Park Chan-yeol was completely defeated by this non-aggressive statement, his feet unable to move from where he stood.
