The 7-Day Contract (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 128

Thanks to the meticulous packaging, which spared no cushioning material, the limited-edition Dark Black figure inside the box remained exactly as it had last appeared—completely unblemished.

Do Jun’s eyes, quietly fixed on the contents of the box, flickered faintly with a subtle sense of loss. Complex emotions—longing, resignation, or perhaps even regret—twisted together at once, casting shadows across his face.

His expression darkened only briefly before he deliberately masked it with feigned calmness and turned his gaze toward Da Jung. After all, it struck him as profoundly odd that this item had reached him through her.

“How on earth do you have this, Da Jung?”

“Well, I’m not sure why Su Kyeong asked me to hold onto it. She just said it was something she hadn’t gotten around to dealing with yet.”

Da Jung shrugged her shoulders. She had no idea what significance this object—appearing to be nothing more than a toy—held for the two of them.

Do Jun glanced back at the box and let out a quiet, wry chuckle. He found it almost laughable how fickle and reed-like the human heart could be.

The emotions he’d once felt for Da Jung had vanished like a mirage, leaving behind only the faint, lingering footprints of someone else—now occupying that empty space and softly stirring his heart.

Even though he’d learned, through Da Jung, just how deeply the absence of someone ever-present could wound him, he had still let Su Kyeong slip away once more.

Did he love her?

Well… on bright, pleasant days, he thought of her. When he heard the cheerful laughter of others, her smiling face naturally came to mind.

If such feelings counted as love—even if they didn’t crush him to the point of death—then yes, he truly did love Su Kyeong.
