Sakura Suzuki has always prioritised her friendship with Mia Yoshino, even when it meant burying her own heart. In their second year of college, both girls fall for Haru Soma, but when Mia confesses her feelings, Sakura chooses loyalty over love, silently stepping aside to help Mia win his affection.

Years later, on Mia and Haru’s wedding day, the carefully constructed facade shatters. In a shocking turn of events, Haru kisses Sakura—the maid of honour—and confesses a long-hidden truth:

"It was always you, Sakura," he said softly, his voice rough. "I've always loved you. Not Mia. You."

Guilt and longing consume Sakura as she grapples with the revelation. That night, she makes a wish at 11:11—and wakes up nine years earlier, back in college, on the day she first met Haru.

Given a second chance, Sakura is determined to claim the love she sacrificed—but rewriting the past is far more complicated than she imagined. Her choices start to unravel everything she once knew. Friendships are tested, hearts are broken, and Sakura must confront the painful truth: Pursuing her own happiness could cost her everything she holds dear.

Will she find the love she's always dreamed of, or will her second chance destroy the very life she hoped to protect?

The Groom Chooses The Maid Of Honour

Moments later, Sakura pushed the bathroom door open, her makeup smeared from tears, her face pale. She looked disoriented, but she tried to stand tall, even though her legs were unsteady.

Mia didn't say anything. She didn't even look at Sakura as she walked back into the room. It was like nothing had happened, as if she hadn't been manipulating the situation for her own gain.

As Sakura made her way back to her seat, Kenji immediately smiled at her, trying to offer her some comfort. "Hey, you okay?" he asked, his voice smooth. "Here, let me get you a drink to make you feel better."

Sakura,took a sip of her own drink, hoping it would settle her nerves. But as she swallowed, the dizziness started to hit. Her vision blurred, and her knees buckled.

As Sakura wobbled, Kenji caught her just in time, his hands gripping her waist. "Whoa, hey, you okay?" he asked, his voice dripping with false concern.

Ryo, sitting at the table, snapped a picture of them, capturing the moment.

Then, Kenji smirked, his voice low and predatory. "I'm gonna get a taste of 'Sweet Sakura' tonight."

Ryo chuckled darkly. "I'm with you on that, man. We'll see if she can keep up."

Before Kenji or Ryo could do anything further, the door suddenly exploded open with a loud crash. Haru stormed in, his eyes locked on the scene.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Haru bellowed, his fist swinging out, slamming into Kenji's face with a sickening thud. Kenji staggered back, clutching his nose, blood splattering from the impact.

Sakura, dazed and half-conscious, collapsed into Haru's arms. He caught her tightly, his expression full of worry.

Ryo stood up, furious, and charged at Haru, throwing a punch. But before Ryo could land it, Kei stepped forward, blocking the punch and retaliating with a strong jab to Ryo's jaw. Ryo crumpled to the ground, momentarily stunned.

"Kei, get Mia out of here," Haru ordered sharply, not taking his eyes off the scene.

Kei nodded quickly, moving to grab Mia, who had collapsed in her chair, still under the influence of the spiked drink. She was unconscious, her face pale. Kei scooped her up effortlessly and began heading for the door.

"Call security," Haru instructed, his voice tense. "These guys need to be dealt with."

Kei did so immediately, making the call as he carried Mia out.

Security arrived within minutes, and Kei wasted no time explaining the situation. "These two men spiked these girls' drinks with obvious ill intentions. You should arrest them immediately."

Security officers nodded grimly, quickly moving to detain Kenji and Ryo, who were still reeling from the confrontation.

Haru gently lifted Sakura, his voice soft but filled with urgency. "We're going home now. You're safe, Sakura. I'm here."

And as Haru carried her away, Kei turned to give one last glance at the chaos, his concern for both Sakura and Mia still etched on his face.

Get Away From Her!
