On the day Kyle Brown married Vanessa Walker, I wore a pure white dress and went to an abandoned unfinished building. Looking at the sunset in the sky, I couldn’t help but smile happily.
This was the most relaxed moment I had in all the years I stayed with Kyle.

My phone was flashing non–stop, with countless calls coming in, as if trying to break my phone.
I ignored them, until Kyle’s call came through.
My heart skipped a beat, and with an inexplicable sense of anticipation, I answered the call.
But as soon as I heard his cold voice on the other end, regret instantly washed over me. Kyle said, “Where have you gone? I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
After a pause, he added, “Stop making trouble, Nessa is worried about you. You’re her bridesmaid, her sister. Hurry up and come back.”
I suddenly laughed, laughing at my own naivety, and at how foolish I was to still hold some hope for him.
I softly said, “Kyle, if Vanessa knew that her bridesmaid, her sister… had slept with her husband for six years, would she collapse in despair?”
My voice was hoarse, and Kyle fell silent.
After a long pause, he spoke in a low voice, “Jasmine, don’t do something stupid.”
Hearing Kyle’s words, I wiped away the tears from my face and hung up the phone.
In the distance, on the big screen of a tall building, Kyle’s confession to Vanessa was rolling, and the whole city was immersed in the scent of roses, the grand wedding Kyle had prepared for Vanessa.
But he forgot that I had severe pollen allergies. With this much pollen, I could go into
anaphylactic shock and die on the spot.
Of course, Kyle only had Vanessa in his heart. How could he think of anything else?
I clutched my chest, which ached so badly, and I was hard to breathe.
I mocked myself, “So, my heart still aches for Kyle. How useless.”
Looking at the photos in my social media feed, where Kyle smiled gently at Vanessa, I felt a little dazed. I never knew Kyle could be so gentle too.
It was completely different from the Kyle I remembered.
The Kyle I remembered was always frowning, always keeping a distance from me.
I remember once asking him why he acted so distant when we were in public, and I also remember his disgusted reply. “Everyone knows you’re my adopted sister. If they find out we’re together, what will they think of me? What will they think of you? You have no shame, but I still
have some.”
I laughed quietly as I stared at the concrete floor below.

If I jumped, I’d probably fall terribly, but I didn’t care anymore. I just wanted to leave this world and Kyle.

Kyle, hearing my laughter, asked angrily, “What are you laughing at?”
I said, “Kyle, I want to go home.”
Upon hearing my words, Kyle grew even angrier. “Can’t you stop being so reckless? If you keep doing this, you can forget about ever going home.”

I didn’t reply. I just threw the phone downstairs and listened to the sound of it shattering on the concrete below. My heart seemed to break into pieces along with it.
I thought, “Kyle, the home I want to go to is a place that belongs to me alone. It has nothing to do with you. It’s a world without you. Loving you has been so exhausting. I’m giving you up, Kyle.”
I whispered, “I want to go home, system.”
