His Demons

With each day that passed, Haewon became more and more annoyed that Jake wasn't reaching out to her to at least explain things to her and seek her forgiveness.

It was almost three weeks already, and she knew he was out of the hospital and was now at Min-Jung's home since she had overheard her parents talking about it that Sunday evening after everyone had left.

How could he just move on and not try to reach out to her? Did she mean that little to him?

It annoyed her that all these years, she had confided in him about Aunt Min-Jung's missing son. She had even shown him the AI-generated picture of the kid, yet when it was time to come clean, he chose to go to her father rather than to come to her.

It annoyed her even more that he had tried to kill himself. What right did he think he had to take his own life without facing her first after hurting her feelings that way?
