Chapter 7
The day I left happened to be the day Evren’s project ended.]]
For a project of this scale, Evren finishing it so quickly proved his genius wasn’t just talk.
I threw everything related to Evren into the trash.]
Including the matching couple rings we’d impulsively made when we went out on dates, on which he’d personally carved a candy shape.[]
I’d already shipped my luggage ahead. Looking back at the house I’d once rented, it was clean and spotless.]
I couldn’t help but smile.[]
Evren had never liked this house because of his germaphobia. Now it was perfect–he’d definitely like it.[]
Before boarding, I received a friend request from a stranger.]
It was Linda.
She hesitated for a long time before sending a message.
Sonia…]]
[Actually, I really like Evren.]]]
I gasped.
Had I really encountered the third–party–confronting–the–original–girlfriend drama?]
Linda: [But I know that Evren… would never like me.]]]
[I know I must have caused you trouble. I’m sorry, Sonia.]]]
[There’s really nothing between me and him. He only posted that Instagram because our advisor wanted each of us to post something to celebrate, that’s why Evren posted it. I didn’t realize my feelings were so obvious. I’m such an idiot.]]
I silently read her messages.
Linda: [I’m sorry, really sorry. I know my existence makes you uncomfortable. I can’t control not liking Evren, but I can control staying away from him.]]
[You and Evren are really perfect together. I can tell that Evren actually likes you very much. If it wasn’t to rush back to see you, this project wouldn’t have progressed so quickly.]]
[He really loves you.]
[After this project ends, I’ll leave the project team. I thought about it and felt I had to apologize to you. Please trust Evren and don’t be angry with him anymore. Seeing you two fight makes me anxious too. Between Evren and me, there’s really nothing at all.]]]
I didn’t know how to reply appropriately.
The situation between Evren and me wasn’t because he would transfer his affections, but because he’d lived too smoothly and never learned how to love.
I could say without hesitation that I loved him, and I was the one who loved him most among all who claimed to love him.[]
I’d loved him for five years and tolerated him for three.]]
But I was human too.
I got tired too.

Chapter 7
I really didn’t know when Evren would suddenly have an epiphany, suddenl around to embrace me.]
I wasn’t even sure if that day would ever come.[]
stop walking ahead leaving me to watch his back, and instead turn
Hopelessly, I’d spent five years waiting for love to arrive, but ended up like a gambler who’d lost everything.]
[It’s okay. I’ve already broken up with Evren.]]]
[What happens next is between you and him. Good luck to you too.]]]
After sending this message, I turned off my phone and boarded the plane to Germany.
