The "Ex-Files": Pretending to Be Over Them Backfired Spectacularly

Image of a Black woman and Korean man frozen in a grocery aisle, their hands almost touching on the same bottle of juice. She looks caught, he looks intense. Text overlay: "I STOOD HIM UP. THEN HE HUNTED ME DOWN."




We've all been there: meticulously curating the 'I'm totally fine' façade after a breakup. My apartment was a shrine to indifference, my social media a masterclass in thriving. But what happens when that perfectly constructed illusion crashes down around you, not with a whimper, but with an unexpected encounter that screams 'plot twist' louder than any rom-com?



This is the hilarious, cringe-worthy, two-part tale of how pretending to be over my ex spectacularly backfired.



PART 1: THE GROCERY AILE IMPLOSION
My name is Simone Lewis, and for eight months, I was the CEO of Moving On, Inc. My target? Leo Kim, the 30-year-old media CEO who broke my heart with a "bad timing" excuse. My performance was flawless... until I ran into him in a health food store while wearing sweatpants and debating kale. One accidental touch over a bottle of cold-press juice shattered my entire "over it" act. And when he asked me to dinner, I had a choice: keep pretending, or start a war.

PART 2: THE ROOFTOP CHASE
I stood him up. For two weeks, I was a ghost. But in New York, you can't hide forever—especially when your ex is the title sponsor of your biggest fashion show's after-party. On a glittering rooftop, surrounded by the entire industry, he found me. And this time, he wasn't asking. He demanded a dance. It was a battle of whispered truths, old hurts, and a chemistry that refused to die. I walked away. But the chase? It had only just begun.

Seoul to Soul Romance Stories

My love life was a closet of bridesmaid dresses in shades of “Almost.” Lavender, blush, seafoam… each one a testament to my rule: Never date outside my race.


It was armor forged by past hurt. A fortress.


Then I met Joseph Kim. A Korean CEO who disarmed me with hip-hop, gochujang ribs, and a quiet intensity that saw me—the woman behind the lawyer.



He didn't just walk into my heart. He became my fortress. Facing down a toxic ex with cold, strategic fury. Navigating the gentle weight of family expectations. Showing me that love isn't about fitting into a mold, but creating a new, breathtaking shape together.



This is "I Swore I'd Never Date Outside My Race... Until the Korean CEO."

A story of cultural bridges, fierce protection, and building a legacy where two worlds harmonize.
