I WISH I HAD A HAPPY ENDING TOO
Updated at Jul 28, 2026, 03:21
Megumi was a senior high school student and a writer. Two days before she passed away in a motorcycle accident, she finished a novel titled “I Wish I Had a Happy Ending Too.” She never got to see it published. But thanks to her best friend George—who was with her on the motorcycle and survived, her story was finally published.Megumi's novel is about Rui Megumi Aizu, a young woman whose trauma drove her to the brink of death.Rui was victimized by her own uncle, Edgar, who was her father's close friend and cousin. So when Rui spoke up, no one believed her. Justice was buried under names and power, and in the eyes of her family, she was the liar.On the day she planned to end her life at the La Union boulevard, an unexpected click stopped her—the profile of Sutehan Kuro Sute, her college classmate. That night, she opened up, and for the first time, someone listened. They became online best friends, and Sutehan became Rui's safe place, until Rui ran away and all contact between them was cut off.Ten years later, Rui is with Vin. They have been together for seven years—the man who didn't leave her when she had no one else on her side. But on their 7th anniversary, there is no ring, no plans for the future, and he repeatedly stands her up because of the emergencies of his girl best friend, Furanshin. It is nothing new to her, and she is slowly getting used to it.And on that very same night, Rui's path crosses with Sutehan once again: former classmate, former savior, and now, her boss.As the cracks in her relationship with Vin deepen, Rui's trust in Sutehan slowly returns. Until one day, everything completely shatters when Rui finds Vin and Furanshin embracing in bed in their own apartment.Everything comes rushing back—the betrayal, the memory of the assault, and the pain of the world turning its back on her.Now, Rui is caught between the past and the present. Vin, who stayed, and Sutehan, who saved her.Will their reunion be the path that finally puts Rui back together, or will it be the very reason she shatters even more?“I Wish I Had a Happy Ending Too” is not just Rui's story. It is also Megumi's final legacy—a young writer who was never granted her own happy ending, yet left the story behind for others who are still searching for theirs.
