GOODBYE TO HELLO
Episode 1
"I don't want your apology. I've been with you for two years... but now I'm leaving. Goodbye."
Silence filled the house.
Just like every other day, Min He sat alone, waiting for her husband to come home.
Hours passed...
But Kim Lee Yong never returned.
Suddenly, she felt something warm running down her nose.
She touched it with trembling fingers.
Blood.
Min He: "Oh..."
She hurried to the mirror and stared at her reflection.
"What is happening to me...?" she whispered. "Maybe I worked too hard today."
Without thinking much about it, she took her depression medicine and lay down on the bed.
The next morning, she woke up early as usual.
She prepared breakfast, neatly placed Lee Yong's clothes on the bed, and quietly left for the hospital.
The doctor looked at her medical reports with a serious expression.
Doctor: "Miss Min He... can you take a look at this?"
Before he could finish speaking, a loud ringing echoed inside her ears.
She immediately covered them with both hands.
Everything around her started spinning.
A second later, she collapsed onto the floor.
...
When she regained consciousness, the doctor's words kept echoing inside her mind.
Without saying a single word, she left the hospital and walked home.
As soon as she entered the house, she called her husband.
Once...
Twice...
Three times...
No answer.
Just like always.
Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.
She placed her hand over her aching heart.
Min He: "Am I destroying myself just to save this meaningless marriage...?"
"Why am I always the only one trying...?"
Unable to hold back anymore, she broke down in tears.
A few moments later, she signed the divorce papers.
She placed them carefully on the table.
Beside them, she left a small note.
I'm leaving...
Goodbye.
...
That evening, Kim Lee Yong returned home.
"Min He?" he called.
No reply.
His eyes landed on the divorce papers lying on the table.
He picked them up.
The moment he saw her signature, his face darkened with anger.
Without hesitation, he threw the papers against the wall.
"Damn it!"
He stormed out of the house.
Meanwhile...
Min He sat alone with a bottle of soju.
She stared at it before letting out a bitter smile.
"Goodbye..."
"Is saying goodbye really that easy?"
"Will I ever be happy again?"
"Maybe every goodbye doesn't feel the same."
"When did I start getting tired of loving him...?"
"Was it when he forgot my birthday?"
"Or when he forgot our wedding anniversary?"
"Was it when I convinced myself to give him one more chance?"
"Or when I saw him with another woman?"
"Was it when he started treating my property like it belonged to him?"
"Or when all he wanted from me was a child...?"
"...Or maybe..."
"It had been like this from the very beginning."
She took another sip.
Every painful memory flashed before her eyes.
She had only wanted one thing...
To be happy.
But somehow...
She never was.
After finishing her drink, she slowly stood up and left.
It wasn't leaving Lee Yong that hurt the most.
It was realizing that she had lost herself while trying to save someone who never tried to save her.
Without knowing where to go, she found herself in a quiet park.
She sat on an old swing.
The cold breeze brushed against her face.
Closing her eyes...
A forgotten memory returned.
The day she met Kim Lee Yong for the very first time.
Two Years Earlier...
Teacher: "Class, this is Min He. She's our new transfer student. Please make her feel welcome."
"Hello, Min He!"
The entire class greeted her with warm smiles.
Min He laughed cheerfully.
"My name is Min He..."
"And yes..."
"I'm very pretty."
The whole classroom burst into laughter.
The teacher smiled.
"Min He, please take the empty seat next to Lee Yong."
She walked toward him and sat down.
"Hi! I'm Min He. Nice to meet you."
Without even looking at her, Lee Yong replied coldly,
"I already heard your name."
"Please be quiet."
"I don't like noise."
Min He pouted.
"So arrogant..."
"But... he's handsome."
Lunch Break
It didn't take long for Min He to become the center of attention.
Several boys surrounded her, offering drinks and snacks while trying to impress her.
Lee Yong watched everything in silence.
Finally...
He stood up.
Walked straight toward Min He.
And grabbed her hand.
Everyone froze.
Looking directly at the boys, he spoke in a cold voice.
"From today onward..."
"If anyone brings her another drink..."
"You'll answer to me."
He pulled Min He closer.
"She's mine."
"She's my girlfriend."
"So stay away from her."
The cafeteria fell completely silent.
Min He stared at him in shock.
A small smile slowly appeared on her lips.
For some reason...
She liked what he had just said.
She stepped closer to him.
Held the collar of his uniform.
Looked into his eyes...
And smiled.
Min He: "Lee Yong..."
"Will you go on a date with me?"
