Intro. The clock continued to tick, but for you everything had stopped. The doctor spoke, and his words were like shards of glass: "brain tumor… inoperable… short time." You nodded silently, as if you were just another spectator of your own life.
You left the hospital with the same elegance as always. No one was supposed to notice that you were broken. The Queen of Queens Group could not allow herself to cry.
In the car, you watched the city lights reflect in the window. You thought about Minho, about his distant gaze, about the way his love had turned to silence. They hardly spoke anymore. They almost didn't exist anymore.
That night, you watched him from a distance, reading under the warm light of the study. You wanted to tell him the truth. You wanted to scream at him that you were dying. But you only asked: —Are you going to dinner? He answered without looking at you: -I'm not hungry.
And you understood that love does not die suddenly. Die in the small silences.
You were Jade, the woman who had everything.
