Pluto

Kae made a deal with Satan that he would give anything to be successful in life, including having everything that no human could even dream of. Satan immediately agreed to the deal and gave Kae ten years to live. After that, the Satan will return to ask for something important that he cannot give.

Kae became the most handsome and richest man in the world thanks to the agreement. No one can compete with him. He got everything he wanted. Having received the perfect desire, he began to live his life in boredom. He doesn't want anything else in his life because he already has everything and has a perfect life. Sometimes Kae wants to commit suicide because life is no longer interesting.

Until one day, eight years after the agreement, Kae was asked by his friend, 'Shin', to break up with his ex, whom he had never met and only spoke on the phone. His friend asked Kae to break up with his ex over the phone because his voice was similar. Since his life was empty and had no connection, he casually accepted it and forgot everything.

However... that same night, his friend had a serious accident. Therefore, Kae realized that he had to fulfill his friend's request. Kae sent a message through his friend's cell phone to break up with his ex. However, the other caller wasn't taking it all in stride and insisted that they have a face-to-face confrontation if he really wanted to end things. Kae went to see the person as requested.

There, he met 'Joanne', a stunningly beautiful woman. The meeting made the two get to know each other. This was the first time Kae's heart was beating fast like he was running on a wide football field. He felt so good that he could almost say it was love. It can be said that he fell in love with her appearance. But there are more women who tempt him, but he doesn't feel anything.

For Kae, Joanne was unique. She made his heart skip a beat and made him want to know her better. So, again he forgot all the requests of his friend. In the end... Kae pretended to be her friend.

Every day, Kae will go on a date with Joanne. He tried to get to know the person—who she was, where she came from, and what her education was—because he had never known her before. On the outside, Joanne is beautiful, sweet, and mysterious. Since Kae had never felt this way with anyone before, it seemed like Joanne had opened something inside of him.

A strange feeling appeared inexplicably.

Someone once said, 'There are no excuses when it comes to love. If there is, it's not love.'

Because Joanne is like a mystery novel, the more you read, the more you want to know. Kae wants to know more about her. And also because mystery novels will make you delve deeper, Kae's mystery becomes more and more interesting.

Some, you should know. Or, for some of them, you shouldn't know... but you still want to know. Joanne is like Pandora's box that you can't open because you don't know what you will find inside.

Kae continued to lie and fell in love with Joanne without daring to tell her that he was not her real lover. Their relationship is based on a very fragile foundation... When the time comes for Kae to be caught, the sand castle he built will be swept away by the waves as if it never existed. 

After Kae crosses the line and develops a deep relationship with Joanne, he realizes how much he loves her. He can't bear to lose this love. And because of that, Kae knows what it means to live. When he was in love... he wanted nothing else.

Ring...

"Hello."

[Kae, where are you?]

"Uncle..."

[Wherever you are, come to the hospital now.]

"What happened?"

[Shin... Shin...]

"What's wrong, Uncle... Or he..."

[Shin has regained consciousness. Come to the hospital now.]

"Huh?"

[Shin has woken up from a coma. Kae, your bestfriend, has woken up.]

Shin's father sounded very happy and hurriedly hung up the phone temporarily

I was stunned.

When I thought my friend had died, I was shocked and sad... But when I found out that Shin had woken up from the coma, I was not happy at all. For a split second, I had an evil thought that if I could choose, I wanted my first thought to come true so that I could be Joanne's only Shin.

But now that the original Shin has awakened... I will disappear like a bubble in the air.

NO.

I BEG.

PLEASE DON'T.

Satan... I'm making a decision. Are you satisfied? Or will you still give a cunning offer to this Kae?

First option : let Joanne remember Kae... but Shin has to die. He can no longer be in this world. He will forever rot in hell, and Joanne will forever suffer living with her sad memories.

Second option : let Joanne remember Kae... but Joanne has to die of a life threatening disease. She can no longer be in this world. Kae will be loved, but Joanne will not be with him anymore.

Third option : let Joanne forget Kae... Joanne will have no memories of Kae. She will go back to living her life as before and finally fall in love with Kae's friend, not knowing that Kae exists in this world. And yes... you can go on living, but suffer life without love. You will not be loved. You will not exist or have any meaning in her world. You will be Pluto, removed from the list of planets in his galaxy.

Kae chooses the last option... Joanne and his friend continue to love each other, and there are no memories left. Just seeing Joanne happy made her happy. So even if Joanne doesn't remember anything, it's okay... remembering it might be enough.

He was telling the truth... and this is the compensation. He is being forgotten.

He has become Pluto.

But deep inside his heart, he always wonder

'Will we meet again?'

'Will our love remain the same?'

'I'm gone'

Ah... looks like I've found a happy ending for this.

Kae choose the last option, which was to let Joanne fall in love with her ex while he was gone, not knowing that it was the right choice.

Surrendering everything changes everything for the better.

Joanne didn't have to die, and Joanne's ex didn't have to lose anything. The only one who gave up everything was Kae. And for that, he was blessed with a happy life. Joanne regains her memories of Kae, and they get back together. Joanne's ex left with the understanding that holding on doesn't do anyone any good and will only hurt everyone.
