[ Backstory Context ]

Following the previous backstory video I made on Mai “He’s just not into you”, Mai has constantly been trapped in a cycle of being in love, then being abandoned for another. Despite how much heartbreak she always suffers from, she tries her best to be happy.

She likes to stand by her statement of being happy, if they were happy. Though, Hakiree and Kat- her two closest friends from high school- always tried to check in; overprotective over her. But, regardless, Mai gives them the same “Happy” excuse no matter what.

Nonetheless, deep down, she feared being abandoned every time. Repetitively, over and over, she was left behind for someone ‘better’. Eventually, this loop severely affected Mai and her chances of long-term relationships.

The end of this video is a representation. After constantly being abandoned and cheated on by all of her previous lovers, when she finally got close to an actual relationship; her fear of going through the cycle overtook her. Resulting in her ending the relationship herself, to not end up in that loop again.
