Anna Lee stood on the busy streets of Seoul, staring at the giant billboard across the street. There was the man she had loved for seven years—top actor Kang Sung-hoon. He was embracing popular idol Im Ya-jin, both smiling brilliantly, a perfect match.
Just yesterday, Anna had been Kang Sung-hoon's secret girlfriend. For seven years, she had given up her dance dreams to become his personal assistant, taking care of his daily life, staying by his side during his lows. And now, right after winning the Best Actor award, he had calmly told her at the celebration party, "Anna, it's over. Ya-jin is more suited to stand by my side."
Rain began to drizzle down. Anna didn't have an umbrella. She numbly crossed the street, her mind replaying the past seven years. From age 22 to 29, the best years of her life, all devoted to that man.
A sudden screech of brakes pierced the air.
Blinding lights, a heavy impact, and Anna felt herself flying before crashing down. Rain and blood mixed together, her vision gradually blurring. The last thing she saw was Kang Sung-hoon's perfect smile on the billboard across the street.
Maybe it's better this way.
At least there would be no more heartache.
