Our Romance Ends Here

Synopsis

After five years of long-distance love, I secretly went to the City Hall and got a queue ticket. The number was Alex's birthday, and it was also our anniversary. Clutching the ticket and dressed in my wedding gown, I flew thirteen hours to his city. To surprise him, I even hid it from my family, who happened to be vacationing in the same city. But when I arrived at the venue, it was already packed with people. There was already a bride standing next to Alex. My parents, with tears in their eyes, gave the girl to Alex. My usually stoic brother's eyes were red as he warned Alex to take good care of her. My two best friends, dressed as bridesmaids, were cheering for the couple to kiss. Alex, the man I loved, leaned in and kissed her without a second thought. Everyone cheered for them, showering them with blessings. If only the faces in the crowd weren't all so familiar to me. If only she wasn't the one who drove me to the brink with her bullying. If only I were the bride. That would have been the moment I'd always longed for. My scarred hand was trembling again, and tears dropped before I even noticed. Turns out, everyone had disappeared at the same time just to attend this wedding—leaving me completely in the dark.
