Chapter 5

Author: Ice-Ice Sugar
I took a cab back to Sean's apartment and packed all my valuables.

After living there for more than two years, I left with only one small piece of luggage.

When my parents learned I had quit, they took time off and made a large dinner just for me.

"We'll support whatever you decide to do."

After dinner, they proudly handed me a train ticket. It was for a heritage train to Sutberg, a city in the Southwest. The departure date was the next day.

    Ronan was waiting by the road when I came out of the bar. The moment I saw him, my eyes teared up as I threw my arms around him."Sorry to keep you waiting, Ronan," I said.He asked no questions. He simply smiled as he hugged me tight and spun me around. The hems of my coat around my legs bloomed like flower petals, and all my sadness scattered.I kissed his forehead and laughed.Everything felt so simple and wonderful with Ronan.As we walked home hand in hand, we passed a small shop that was about to close. My eyes lit up when I saw the display case in the corner. "That's the one!"I bought it on the spot without any hesitation.With that settled, we prepared to return to Sutburg.Before boarding the train, I hugged my parents. "I'll make the shop a success, then bring you both there."They laughed. "You've always been this way. Once you decide on something, you have to see it through. Don't work too hard. No matter what happens, you'll always be our daughter."-Sutburg.

    Wendy came over to my home the next day as soon as she heard I was back. "Nina!"I looked up from breakfast, and her haggard appearance startled me."You..." Wendy's eyes were red, and she cut me off. "Listen to me. I owe you an apology. Ever since you and Sean started dating in college, I haven't understood what came over me. You had always been my best friend, but Sean chose you."Those days were unbearable. I didn't want to lose you, but I couldn't stop wondering what made you better than me. During that meeting, I misread the data because I was distracted by the thought that you wanted to end our friendship."I'm really, really sorry for all the ways I hurt you."When she finished, Wendy seemed to lose all her strength as she sank to the floor. I didn't know what to feel.We had been best friends since high school.In my memory, Wendy had always been someone who could do anything. Seeing her reduced to this made my chest tighten.But...I set down my fork and pulled her to

    Nina's POVOne year later.As soon as I stepped off the train, I saw my parents holding a large sign: [Welcome home, Princess Nina!]Behind me, Ronan Sands laughed so hard that he leaned against my shoulder and could not stand straight.I pretended to be annoyed and ruffled his hair. "My parents are watching. Didn't you say you wanted to make a good impression?""As you command, Your Highness," Ronan said, still laughing.The moment I reached them, tears filled my eyes, and the three of us hugged and cried.Ronan wiped my tears. I held his hand and spoke through my sobs. "Mom, Dad, this is my boyfriend, Ronan Sands."Neither of them looked surprised. "We know. We had a video call with Ronan yesterday."Ronan smiled and wrapped an arm around me as he said, "Nina just wants to introduce me properly. Thank you for granting me this honor, Your Highness."After a few hours at home, Ronan and I went to the furniture market. It was the first thing we needed to do after we returned.

    Third-person POVMeanwhile, when Sean finally finished working, there were still no new texts on his phone. He pushed open the door to Wendy's office and asked, "Has Nina replied to any of your texts?"Wendy looked up from her paperwork and shook her head. "She has never ignored me before, no matter how upset she was."Something felt wrong, and Sean pressed her for details. "What else did you say to her that day?""Nothing. I only thanked her for taking the blame for my mistake." Wendy said.He frowned as he was starting to have a very bad feeling about it, no longer trying to hide his tone. "Who told you she volunteered?"Wendy answered without thinking. "If she didn't volunteer, are you saying someone forced her?"Sean said nothing, and his face darkened.A terrible possibility struck Wendy, and the pen in her hand slipped. "You… Did you force her? Why?!"Sean rubbed his forehead and sighed. "I know what you're like. After you made that mistake in the meeting, I was afraid y

It was for a heritage train to Sutberg, a city in the Southwest. The departure date was the next day."You've talked about Sutberg for years. Go clear your head and come back whenever you want."I stared at the ticket and at the conviction in my parents' eyes, and warmth filled my chest until it hurt. I hugged them as I cried, and all my worries melted away.That night, I packed for Sutburg in my room. Meanwhile, my phone kept buzzing on the carpet. Sean had probably come home and realized that most of my things were gone as he sent one text after another.[Nina, did you go back to your parents' house again? I brought home the strawberry ca

    But in the end, the three of us met again in the conference room.Our departments were holding a joint review meeting, and I was presenting the data. There was a lot of it, and the company considered the project important.Sean chaired the meeting, and Wendy acted as support. I took a deep breath and checked every spreadsheet three times before we began. Even halfway through the presentation, I remained tense and advanced each slide carefully.They both looked stern. "This is the chart for our third-quarter growth." I projected the chart onto the screen.Suddenly, Wendy frowned. "The data is wrong."Before I could respond, Sean's voice had already cut in. "Redo it. Have someone else take over."I left the conference room with cold sweat soaking my back. Fortunately, the interruption was brief.
