As the days passed, a significant event approached in their company, the celebration of a new project proposal's success. The party was dedicated to their remarkable CEO, Irene, who had played a pivotal role in the project's triumph. Seulgi received an invitation to attend, and she decided to go, determined to offer her sincere congratulations and encouragement to Irene.

Armed with a congratulatory card that bore heartfelt words of appreciation and admiration, Seulgi made her way to the party. She stood quietly in a secluded corner, observing the gathering crowd as she listened to Irene's speech. Irene, radiant and confident, expressed her gratitude to the people who had contributed to the success, mentioning her friends and even her ex-partner, acknowledging their support.

Seulgi's heart tightened as she heard Irene utter the name of her ex-lover. A rush of mixed emotions swirled within her, an unsettling blend of longing, heartache, and pride. She contemplated whether to approach Irene and offer her congratulations, but she hesitated as she watched Irene chatting and laughing merrily with her ex.

In that bittersweet moment, Seulgi realized that her place was no longer by Irene's side. A pained resignation overcame her, and she slowly tore the congratulatory card into pieces, tossing it into the nearest waste bin. With a melancholic smile on her face and tears glistening in her eyes, she turned and made her way to the elevator.

Unbeknownst to Seulgi, her actions did not escape the keen observation of Jennie and Yeri, who had been watching the scene unfold. They exchanged knowing glances, the weight of Seulgi's emotions evident in their expressions. The sight of her smiling through her tears was a poignant testament to the depth of her feelings, and it left both friends with a lingering sense of concern.

In the midst of the celebration, a silent yet powerful drama played out, and the emotional currents in the room remained hidden from the world, a testament to the unspoken bonds and secrets that held their intertwined lives.

Seulgi's steps were heavy as she left the party, her heart filled with an aching sense of resignation. She walked aimlessly through the dimly streets, her thoughts echoing with the memories of the past. Eventually, she found herself by the side of a serene river, where the world seemed to slow down, matching the rhythm of her weary heart.

Choosing a bench far from the gaze of passersby, Seulgi took a seat, finding solace in the solitude that surrounded her. She stared out at the waters, her mind filled with clouds of emotions. It was as if the universe conspired to make her feelings known to her, and her tears flowed freely as she contemplated the cruel twists of fate.

After a while, an elderly woman, her eyes carrying the wisdom of countless years, sat down beside Seulgi. At first, Seulgi paid her little mind, lost in her thoughts. But as the elderly woman began to speak in a soft and comforting tone, Seulgi found herself drawn into their conversation.

The old lady spoke about the unforgiving nature of the world, how it could be so unfair, and how it had a way of burdening those who deserved better. She told Seulgi that even when life was unjust to the righteous, it was a test of their strength, resilience, and patience.

Seulgi, astonished by the old woman's understanding of her plight, couldn't help but ask, "How did you know about me?"

The elderly lady chuckled, her eyes crinkling with age and wisdom. She explained that after a lifetime of experiences, she had developed an innate ability to read people's emotions, to understand their troubles just by observing their faces.

Seulgi, her voice filled with vulnerability, asked for guidance on how to break free from the misery that had entrapped her. She was desperate for a glimmer of hope. The old woman smiled, her eyes conveying compassion and reassurance.

"Be patient, my dear," she advised. "The world often prepares the most beautiful surprises for those who have been through the darkest storms. It molds you, not to break you, but to make you more deserving of the joys that lie ahead. Remember, everything will be alright."

Seulgi felt a warmth in her heart that had been absent for so long. The old lady's words, the kindness she extended, and the empathy she showed provided Seulgi with a glimpse of light in her darkest days. As tears continued to flow down her cheeks, she was reminded of her mother, and she wept for the love she had lost.

The elderly woman gently embraced Seulgi, offering a sense of solace that was desperately needed. In that fleeting yet profound encounter, Seulgi found a source of strength and hope, a connection to a world that often seemed indifferent. It was as if the universe had sent her a messenger of wisdom and comfort, and it left her with a flicker of belief that perhaps, against all odds, everything would indeed be alright.
