As I cut the wedding dress, I thought I would cry, but surprisingly, I stayed completely calm.
Maybe the buildup of disappointments had finally led me to this moment of acceptance.
Before I left, I wanted to write him a note as a final goodbye.
But when I picked up the pen, I realized I didn't know what to say.
In the end, I left calmly and went to my childhood friend Lina's place.
"Only you would treat a guy like Norman as a treasure."
Lina has always been straightforward in her speech.
"In my eyes, he's not even worth as much as crap."
Several of my close friends chimed in, agreeing with Lina.
"Yuna is just infatuated; sometimes women are like that. When they get captivated by a certain guy, their whole world gets filled up, leaving no room for anyone else."
I silently added in my mind that once you see someone for who they truly are, you can also walk away without hesitation.
At least that's how I feel.
As we were chatting, the gazes of my friends suddenly became fixated.
I was puzzled about what had caught their attention when a figure approached us.
I lifted my head slightly and locked eyes with the person.
It was Kane Lewis.
I felt a bit dazed; wasn't he supposed to be settled in the UK? How did he come back?
I hadn't seen him in about ten years, and I wasn't sure I would even recognize him now.
He was wearing a sharp business suit, with a model-like physique and long, straight legs.
Wow, the moment I saw him, I realized how blind I had been all these years, mistaking Norman for a handsome guy.
Kane is three years younger than me; when he left, he was only in the second year of junior high.
When I went to see him off, he looked at me with determination and said, "One day, I will come back to find you."
Unconsciously, I recalled our youthful past and felt a slight blush creeping onto my cheeks.
Kane stopped in front of me and tilted his head, looking at me.
"Yuna, may I sit next to you?"
After the party ended, Kane drove me back to my place.
During the ride, my best friend Lina kept texting me.
"Yuna, seize the moment and go for this handsome guy!"
I rolled my eyes and texted her back.
"Come on, he's taken over the family business and is now the president of a billion-dollar publicly traded company. There's no way he'd be interested in me."
