On a cool morning at the tail end of October, a man and a woman had their arms around each other as they lay asleep on a king-sized dark blue bed. Several strands of the woman’s black hair were on the man’s face.

Soon, the woman moved slightly, as if she was about to wake up, and her hair brushed against the man’s nose, unexpectedly waking him up.

The moment the man opened his eyes, a trace of loss flashed across his eyes, and a bitter smile graced his lips. He already knew that it was a dream from the very beginning, yet he still needed to take a moment to comfort himself.

As usual, Tzuyu first gently released his hold on Sana’s waist. He wanted to laugh at himself. He would always end up holding her so tightly when he slept, as if afraid of losing her, but then he would always silently release her before she woke up.

“You’ve already gathered all your courage to divorce; why can’t you use all that courage to take a step forward instead?”

“Why didn’t you tell me you liked me?”

“Are you afraid I’d reject you, or are you afraid I wouldn’t be able to say no?”

Every question Sana asked in his dream had shaken his heart. Yes, he really had been planning on divorcing her. After thinking about it for half a year, he only just managed to gather his courage and ask Jeongyeon to write up the divorce agreement last week. The papers were now in his study. He had planned to present them to Sana today after breakfast.

But that was before he had that wonderful dream. Now, he wondered if he could try once more. After all, he was already prepared to let Sana go. He was already losing everything. What else was he afraid of happening?

Tzuyu hesitated for a moment, then turned to Sana. However, he found that the woman who should still be sleeping was already awake and staring at him.

'What should I say?'

'Tell me that you love me.'

In his ream, Sana had asked this from him.

“I…” Tzuyu summoned whatever courage he had left, straining against the dark, pessimistic thoughts that filled his mind.

Sana furrowed her brow in doubt.

“Sana, I love you.” Tzuyu ended up blurting the words out in one breath. After saying this sentence, Tzuyu felt very afraid, as if he was facing the death penalty and was just waiting for the judge to sentence him. He was so scared, but he didn’t dare turn away and close his eyes.

Sana’s looked at him in total disbelief. After what seemed like an eternity, she came back to herself and moved, wanting to sit up. As she did so, the blanket shifted, exposing some scary looking blues and purples on her body. Once she was properly sitting, Sana lifted up the quilt and wrapped it around herself.

“I’m sorry…” Tzuyu knew that those terrible marks were because of his rude actions last night. His heart shriveled.

(Reminder: Remember, when Tzuyu divorced Sana, he crazily made love to her, then delivered the divorce papers the next day.)

“Excuse me?” The glimmer of joy in her eyes instantly chilled. Sure enough, she shouldn’t have gotten her hopes up.

“I’m sorry, but I love you.” Tzuyu replied, his voice full of guilt.

Sana, whose face had just started to fall, lit up once more.

“You...why are you suddenly saying this?” Sana didn’t know how to react. She felt like she was still dreaming. Just moments before, she had a dream where Tzuyu had pursued her, had told her that he had always loved her. That he didn’t have a long-lost love and that from the very beginning, he had only ever loved her. It had been a glimmer of sunshine in the gloomy five years of her marriage.
