My Bestfriend Stole My Boyfriend ep 1: Shattered Reality

Kai's hospital room. Sunlight streams through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Kai lies in bed, her eyes fluttering open. Disorientation washes over her as she takes in her surroundings sterile white walls, the rhythmic beep of a heart monitor.

Kai

*weakly* Mom? Where... Where am I?

Melissa

*rushing to her side* Kai! My darling, u're awake! U've been in a coma for... well, it's been a while.

Kai

*confused* A while? How long?

Melissa

3 years, 2 months.

A wave of nausea washes over Kai. 3 years? It feels like only yesterday she was laughing with Jo, her boyfriend. She tries to sit up, wincing at the pain.

Kai

Jo... where's Jo?

Melissa hesitates, her eyes welling up. She gently guides Kai back down.

Melissa

Sweetheart... there's something u need to know.

A flashback montage plays, showing snippets of Jo and Akira together over the past 3 years: laughing, shopping, attempting social events, looking increasingly happy and in love. The montage ends with a shot of Jo and Akira's engagement announcement in a local newspaper.

Back in the hospital room. Melissa breaks the news, her voice trembling.

Melissa

Jo... Jo and Akira... they're engaged.

Kai stares blankly, the words registering slowly. A cold dread creeps into her heart. She remembers Akira, her best friend, the one she confided in about everything. The betrayal stings more than the physical pain.

Kai

*whispering* No... that can't be...

Kenjie, her dad enters the room, his face etched with worry. He embraces Kai, offering a silent comfort.

Kenjie

Oh sweety... I'm so glad u're awake.

Kai

Dad... what happened? How did this happen? How could Jo... and Akira...?

Kenjie avoids her gaze, unable to fully explain the complex web of events that led to this point. He knows that Kai needs time to process this devastating news.

Later that day, Tian, Jo's friend, visits. He looks uncomfortable, avoiding eye contact. He tries to explain Jo's perspective, but his words ring hollow and unconvincing.

Tian

Look, Kai... Jo... he... he loved u. But things changed. After the accident... well, he was heartbroken, and Akira was there for him.

Kai doesn't buy his explanation. She feels a deep sense of betrayal and confusion. The love she thought was unbreakable has shattered into a million pieces.

Akira arrives, her face pale and filled with guilt. She attempts to apologize, but Kai's pain is too raw. The once-unbreakable bond between them is irrevocably broken.

Akira

Kai... I'm so sorry. I never meant to...

Kai

*interrupting, her voice laced with anger* U stole him from me.

Kai is left alone in her hospital room, the weight of betrayal heavy on her chest. The rhythmic beep of the heart monitor is the only sound, a constant reminder of her shattered reality. She stares out the window, lost in thought, wondering how to piece her life back together. The road to recovery will be long and arduous, both physically and emotionally.

quick question remains to all reader: "can she ever forgive Jo and Akira? And more importantly, can she forgive herself?"

See yah.. For the next Episode (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡
