Chapter 5

Alex and I were lovers for four years in college.

But during the winter break of our senior year.

He didn't return to school, and I couldn't contact him.

The girls in our class who didn't know the truth started mocking me.

"We thought you were really going to marry into a rich family, but you got dumped instead."

"You're like a fallen bird now, can't fly anymore."

"Which rich person would want a poor scholarship student anyway?"

These rumors persisted for a long time.

I pestered our counselor for news about him.

The teacher said he didn't know either.

Later, I went to his home.

But that house was already empty.

Alex had disappeared without a trace in the year I loved him most.

During that time, I went crazy searching for him everywhere.

Until I met Jack at the hospital.

Jack, who looked 60% like Alex, became my lifeline that year.

As a resident doctor, I started approaching Jack.

I threw myself at this famous designer.

My friend came several times to tell me not to do this.

"But he looks 60% like Alex, I'll pretend it's 100%."
