Soul of Love

Chapter 1: The Unexpected Nightmare

Yuri and Kiro had shared a sweet and steady relationship for five years.

They had grown together—through struggles, success, and quiet, ordinary days. Everyone believed they would last forever.

Until one night changed everything.

Kiro's sponsors organized a lavish birthday party in his honor. The event was grand, filled with influential guests, flashing cameras, and endless drinks.

During the party, one of the sponsors introduced him to his daughter—a devoted fan who had admired Kiro for years.

Kiro drank more than he should have. Surrounded by well-wishers and pressured to celebrate, he didn't realize how much alcohol he had consumed. His vision blurred, his thoughts clouded.

When the party ended, the sponsor's daughter offered to send him home.

By the time they reached his house, Kiro was barely conscious. In his drunken haze, when she supported him into the bedroom, he mistook her for Yuri.

He whispered Yuri's name.

And then he pulled her down onto the bed.

It was reckless. Thoughtless. Driven by confusion and alcohol.

What he didn't know—

Yuri was already there.

She had hidden inside the closet, planning to surprise him at midnight with a birthday gift and a small celebration of her own.

Through the narrow crack in the closet door, she saw everything.

She saw him kiss another woman.

She heard him whisper words that were meant for her.

Her heart shattered silently in the dark.

She covered her mouth to stop herself from sobbing, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She waited.

Waited until they both fell asleep.

Then, trembling and broken, Yuri slipped out of the closet.

She didn't scream.

She didn't confront him.

She just ran.

Out of the house.

Out of the life they had built together.

And by morning—

Their five-year love story was over.
