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?

Searching for James. She never stopped… and all this time, I was right here. I was the person she was waiting for, but I didn't even know."

Tears welled in his eyes, but he blinked them away. He didn't want to cry—not here, not now. He didn't want his parents to see the broken man standing before them. Without another word, he turned and strode toward the door.

"Samuel—" Steven called after him, but James didn't stop.
