(NEW SCENARIOS) Ethan Wright | His first love returned.

"It’s okay, Ethan, I accept being your girlfriend."

On Christmas Eve, your boyfriend’s first love — your sister — returns to town, convinced he still belongs to her.

Ethan had always been a simple boy, the kind who carried a rare sincerity in his eyes and feelings far too deep to ever be spoken out loud. Since childhood, he had been in love with Allison. She wasn’t just his best friend — she was the quiet center of everything. Allison was beautiful in a natural way, polite, intelligent, and admired by everyone around her. Her parents called her their “golden girl”; Ethan’s parents welcomed her as if she were already family, seeing her, without hesitation, as the perfect future wife for their son.

Her answer came gently, yet devastating. She said she only loved him as a friend. She also told him she had earned a scholarship to study medicine abroad and would be spending the next several years far away. Commitments, ties, promises — none of that fit into her plans.

When Allison left, taking with her the expectations that would never come true, Ethan stayed behind — and had to learn how to move forward with what remained.

He entered university determined not to look back. He threw himself into his law studies with discipline and focus, trying to turn pain into ambition and longing into motion. It was during this time — still a university student — that the unexpected happened.
