My Bestfriend Stole My Boyfriend ep. 2: Shattered Trust

Kai's hospital room - Day

Kai sits up in bed, the sterile white walls a stark contrast to the turmoil in her heart. The engagement ring Akira flashes a gaudy diamond is a physical manifestation of her betrayal. Melissa, her mother, fussed over her, offering weak tea and quiet comfort.

Melissa

*softly* Take it easy, sweetheart. It's going to take time.

Kai stares blankly at the ring. The memories 3 years, 2 months of love with Jo flood back, bittersweet and agonizing.

Kai

*whispering* How could they? Akira... she was my best friend.

Melissa

Sometimes, people make mistakes, Kai. Don't let this define u.

Jo's apartment - night

Jo paces restlessly, a half-empty bottle of beer on the coffee table. The engagement ring glints on Akira's finger as she sits, seemingly unconcerned.

*anxious* Are u sure is right? Kai... she's still...

Akira

*cutting him off* She's awake. So what? She's weak, vulnerable. Besides, we're engaged now. This is our life.

Jo hesitates, guilt warring with self-preservation.

Kenjie's office - Day

Kenjie, Kai's father, sits behind his imposing desk. Tian, Jo's friend, stands before him, his face etched with concern.

Tian

Mr. Kenjie, plz. Jo isn't a bad guy. He's just... confused. He needs help.

Kenjie

*coldly* Help? He stole my daughter's heart, her future. He betrayed her trust while she was unconscious. This isn't about confusion, it's about consequences.

Park - afternoon

Kai sits on a park bench, Akira's betrayal a heavy weight on her soul. She sees Jo walking past. He avoids her gaze. The pain is palpable. The sting being replaced is fresh.

Kai's hospital room - night

Kai receives a single red rose, delivered anonymously. A note is attached "I'm so sorry, Kai." The handwriting is familiar. It is from Jo.

This episode ends on a cliffhanger as Kai contemplates the note, unsure whether this is a genuine apology or another manipulation.
