She believes in true love.

He doesn’t believe in love.

But what is love, really?

She is the epitome of success—a star people look up to and admire. To him, however, she is merely a business transaction, a partner chosen to enhance his status. To his friends, she is just a fool in love, a pathetic figure begging for affection.

Then shocking news emerges: her first true love returns, throwing him off guard. He realizes he has been nothing more than a substitute for her first love.

He should be angry, but instead, he finds himself overwhelmed by emotions he can’t express or understand. Is this possessiveness, or is he finally learning to love her?

She is determined to return to her first love, but inside, she is torn. Did she really treat him as just a substitute, or did she actually come to love him?

What are they supposed to do when love is a question mark?

The next morning arrived quietly, soft light filtering through the windows. Zinnia woke up early, stretching and blinking at the ceiling. It wasn't her usual habit, but something about the day felt different. She got out of bed, pulled on a sweater, and headed for the door.

"Good morning," Zinnia greeted him with a faint smile, trying to shake off the awkwardness.

Samuel nodded, his usual composed expression softening just a little. "Morning."

They stood there for a moment in the quiet house. Without another word, they both made their way toward the kitchen. The silence wasn't tense, but there was something hanging in the air—an unspoken acknowledgment that they were still figuring out whatever this was between them.
