In the restaurant, Garett's close friend asked him in Spanish.
"Your mistress on the side is pregnant, and your wife doesn't know yet, right?"
Garett shook his head slightly, his expression unchanged:
"Luna once said, she doesn't tolerate betrayal."
"If she finds out, she'll disappear from my world forever, so I've kept it well hidden."
What he didn't know was that I had not only learned Spanish, but was also planning to leave him.
In another month, I would vanish completely from his world.

Moonlight Fades Away

Across the vast ocean, in a foreign land.


I heard news of Garett from my friends back home. I thought I'd be upset, but my heart remained surprisingly calm.


I guess this smooth, delicious wine and the endless sea have already healed me.


I used to think Garett was the best guy in the world. My feelings for him had gilded him with a layer of gold. Now that the charm has worn off, I realize he's just like everyone else.


When I learned he was spending a fortune trying to track me down online, I wasn't worried at all. In this small town where I live now, everyone's so laid-back and carefree, they rarely pay attention to online news.


But I still underestimated the power of money.


In my second month living in this town, Garett showed up.


After just two months apart, he looked utterly haggard, thin and weak, like a withered husk.


I'd never seen him like this before, and it tugged at my heartstrings a little.
