The next, I was betrayed and heartbroken, walking in on him cheating without a hint of remorse. That night, overwhelmed with pain and too much alcohol, I made a reckless decision, a one-night stand with a stranger who, to my shock, turned out to be my new boss. Arec, the vice president of Denco Groups, was desperate. To secure his future as CEO, he needed a wife, and in a twist of fate, he offered me a contract marriage.

The move had brought more than just a new home for Jiwon, Teayoung, and Nari—it had forced them to confront the quiet, lingering grief they had carried since the death of their daughter, Nara. While the neighborhood around them seemed welcoming, every corner held a reminder of their past, and the challenge of forging a fresh start weighed heavily on their hearts. As Jiwon tried to adjust to his new role at the sub-district police station, Teayoung focused on settling Nari into the new space, but both parents knew there was more at stake than unpacking boxes or rearranging furniture. The weight of their loss, though not always visible, was ever-present, especially for Teayoung, whose heart still carried the quiet ache of a life forever altered. It was in moments like these—when the world seemed to move forward with its own rhythm—that the grief would surface, unpredictable and sharp.

In "Our Endings," I tell a story of a really intense friendship that ended up breaking my heart and teaching me a lot about myself. This book is all about the ups and downs of loving someone who doesn’t really love you back the same way and I’ve come to realize how unhealthy it was. I wrote about how I gave everything I had—my heart, my soul, and all my loyalty—to this person, but they just took it all without really caring about me. It was super hard realizing that the person I thought was my best friend didn’t value me the way I valued them. Each chapter talks about different feelings I went through: being anxious about things I couldn’t say, desperately wanting them to notice me, and the sadness of knowing my love and efforts were ignored as well as other things. "Our Endings" isn’t just about being heartbroken; it’s also about how the person I loved and pretty much idolized; their true intentions slowly revealed itself to me. Which lead me to finding the strength to let go of someone who was hurting me. It shows how hard it is to move on but also that it’s possible to find new beginnings and realize my own worth again. As well as me growing in my faith in Jesus Christ and encouraging people to follow him!This is my first book that I’m thinking of publishing so this isn’t out yet.
