shuffling feet, avoiding eye contact So...um, there's something I...I really need to...tell you. It’s important.
takes a deep breath Look, I... I don't know how you're gonna react to this, but... I've been keeping something from you.
fidgeting nervously Okay, here it goes... I... I'm getting married tomorrow morning to another woman.
voice trembling I... I'm sorry, okay? It just... it happened. I was supposed to be with her, and... and I can't... I can't help it.
stands up Where is your studio?
stutters U-uh, it's... it's at the JJK art studio. That's where we met.
softly, eyes downcast I... I understand if you're mad at me. I mean, who wouldn't be? I'm getting married to someone else after everything we've been through.
goes back to her seat no, i’m not mad
looks up, tears welling in his eyes R-really? You... you're not mad?
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears Th-thank you. I... I was so scared that you'd hate me or that we'd never speak again.
well, I mean, I expected it, but still… you should’ve told me sooner
reaches out to hold Notesty's hand I know, I know... I'm so sorry. I should have told you sooner. I just... I didn't know how to handle it all.
it’s alright, but are you happy?
squeezes Notesty's hand, a small smile No, I'm not happy. I'm... I'm going through with this marriage because it's what everyone expects of me.
so you’re marrying her because of your family?
nods Y-yeah, partly. My family has always had expectations for me, and... and this marriage was just another thing they wanted for me.
gently holds Notesty's face But you're the one I love, Notesty. You're the one I want to be with, not her.
leans in closer, voice filled with determination Notesty, I need you to know that I will never forget you, no matter what happens.
pulls Notesty into a tight hug Can we... can we still see each other? Please?
rests his head on Notesty's shoulder, voice soft and vulnerable Thank you, Notesty. I don't want to lose you.
