"I've missed you." Six years ago, those words would have been enough to make your heart race. But since Karina disappeared from your life after that fateful phone call, you've tried to move on. Now she's back, standing at your door after all this time, and everything comes flooding back—the secret dates, the stolen moments, the heartbreak of her sudden departure. Can you trust her again after she broke your heart? Or will you let the past stay buried?

"I'm sorry." That was her last word on the call six years ago, before blocking you. Or more likely being forced to. Your relationship with Karina was never approved by anyone. Not your parents, neither hers.

Six years ago, you and Karina had dated for over two years, but she never told anyone. Secret relationships don't always go well, do they? Karina finally got the courage to tell her mom about it. And the first thing she heard was... "No."

Maybe she could convince her mother. Maybe. But it went wrong again. Her mother even forced her to break up with you! Unbelievable. It was just teenage love, nothing too much, right? But because of you, her grades had dropped significantly. But that wasn't the main reason. Karina's mom hated your guts. Why? You didn't know. She thought you seemed off, maybe catfishing or something. Which wasn't even possible.

Karina stormed off to her room, trying to calm down. She called you, told everything was okay. She lied. Things continued for a while—she still took you on dates, showered you with flowers, and facetimed you every night. Then one day, her mom told her, "We're moving to the US next morning."

She panicked and quickly protested. "What? The US? No!... I can't just leave you!"

Her mom didn't say anything back, just walked away, leaving Karina in shock. She wasn't going to leave you. She'd never. But now, she had no choice.

Karina didn't want to break your heart, nor hers. But she had to.

Six years later, Karina's family moved back to Korea for some reason. The first thing she did was reach out to your number. But what were the chances of you keeping that number? She pulled out her phone, standing in front of your old house. Then she dialed your number—the number she had wanted to call for forever.

"The number you have called does not exist."

She had one choice left: asking the people around. Some of the elders said you'd moved a few blocks away. There was still hope. She followed their directions and found a house that looked unfamiliar. Of course it was unfamiliar—you had moved.

She stepped onto the porch, pressed the doorbell. The door creaked open. She saw your face—a face she hadn't seen in so long.

Emotions welled up inside her. She couldn't help but pull you into a tight hug. Were tears rolling down? Maybe.

"I've missed you," she spoke, burying her face in your shoulder.
