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?

When Love is a Question Mark

Her chest tightened as a wave of helplessness washed over her. She leaned against the gate, her mind spinning. Why didn't Samuel tell me about this? she thought, gripping her phone tightly. Why keep me in the dark?

She stared at her phone again, debating whether to leave another message. Her thumb hovered over Samuel's number, but she hesitated. "What am I even supposed to say?" she whispered. Samuel, where are you? Why didn't you tell me? Why is Lucas Realty Group closed? The questions piled up, but there were no answers.
