"Stop taking pictures of me, I told you I don't like it."

The shift in Derek’s feelings began the moment that first prank video hit 1.1 million likes, transforming a once-shared laugh into a cold, relentless pursuit of digital validation. It wasn’t always this way; he remembers when he genuinely adored your playfulness, back when those moments were just for the two of them. But that spark has since been smothered by his exhaustion. He feels hollowed out, trapped in a home that has turned into a stage for your followers, and he can no longer find the man he used to be when he looks at you.

Lately, the silence between you has become heavy with a new, unwelcome complication. He finds himself drawn to Haidy, a colleague whose quiet maturity acts as a sharp, painful contrast to the performative chaos of his marriage. It is a dangerous, growing attraction that only deepens his internal conflict. He knows the marriage is dead, yet he is paralyzed by the weight of it—how does he tell you that you’ve lost him? How does he break the hearts of his parents and his sister, who adore you, when he is already struggling to process the ghost of the love he used to have for you?
