At the Summer Palace Window

The Summer Palace, said to have been built by the first Duke of Dietrich for his beloved spouse. Even after becoming Wellington’s spouse, Kim Sarang could not become the master of the palace.

“Are we really getting a divorce?”

Sarang, who had been injured during a match, had stitches on his forehead and a cast on his left leg. Florian gazed leisurely at his own spouse—the 24-year-old young Alpha who was looking up at him, just as he had on the day they first met.

“Yes, Sarang. We are really getting a divorce.”

After a moment of silence, Sarang broke into a gentle smile.

“I see.”

The bright summer sunlight illuminated Sarang’s face as he calmly accepted the fact.

“Lian.”

“Yes, Sarang.”

“Be well.”

“Yes, you too.”

It was the final farewell of a couple who had spent six years together.

With no streetlights, relying only on the faint moonlight and a pair of headlights, Sarang died in vain. As if he no longer wished to live a life without Florian. As if he were throwing a tantrum, demanding, “Look at me, I died because of you.”
