He Proposed to the Wrong Girl

Chapter 1

1,045 words

We were watching the Northern Lights in Iceland when Ethan suddenly moved the camera from me, aiming it at a stranger standing nearby.

"Let's break up. The truth is, it was her who saved me on that snow mountain three years ago. I always thought it was you."

My lips were purple with cold, and I stared in disbelief at the boyfriend I'd dated for three years.

He casually adjusted the girl's scarf as he spoke. "I proposed to the wrong person back then. I saw you were pathetic and just played along, pretending to be your boyfriend for three years."

"Now that my true savior has appeared, I can't possibly let her feel wronged."

"I promised her I'd propose ten seconds after seeing the Northern Lights."

"Ten, nine, eight... The countdown's over. You can leave now. Don't ruin our proposal video."

The aurora blazed brilliantly, but my heart felt colder than Iceland's snow.

He didn't know. That girl three years ago just happened to pass by. The one who actually dug him out of that snow pit was me.

But now, it didn't matter anymore.
