Chapter thirty four

Hye-Jin stumbled, her movements unsteady as she clung to Eun-Ji for support, her words slurred and filled with emotion. "I can't believe he did this to me," she muttered, her voice thick with tears. "Ji-Won... he's such a jerk."

Eun-Ji's heart sank at the mention of Ji-Won's name, but she maintained a supportive facade, guiding her friend to a nearby table. "Let's sit down for a moment, Hye-Jin," she urged gently, her concern evident in her voice.

As they settled into their seats, Hye-Jin's emotions spilled forth like a floodgate, fueled by the alcohol coursing through her veins. "He said he loved me," she continued, her voice rising with anger. "But he moved on so quickly. It was all a lie. He never cared about me. He never loved me."

Eun-Ji reached out, placing a comforting hand on Hye-Jin's trembling shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Hye-Jin," she murmured, her heart breaking for her friend.
