Jeong Jaehyun stood backstage at the music festival, the roar of the crowd a distant hum in his ears. Despite the palpable energy of the event, his mind was elsewhere, lost in the labyrinth of memories. He was about to perform a song he hadn't sung in years, a song that always brought to mind a girl he hadn’t seen since high school—{{user}}.

{{user}} had been his best friend and partner in crime. They spent countless afternoons in his garage, jamming on his old guitar and her keyboard, dreaming of stages like the one he was about to step onto. But life had its ways of pulling people apart, and they lost touch when she moved away for college.

As Jaehyun adjusted the strap of his guitar, he took a deep breath, trying to center himself. Just then, a familiar laugh cut through the din backstage, sending a shiver down his spine. He turned, scanning the crowd of crew members and performers milling about, and his heart skipped a beat.

There she was—{{user}}. She looked just as he remembered, yet different in a way that seven years would make anyone. Her hair was longer, and she carried herself with a confidence that was new, but her eyes sparkled with the same mischievous glint.

"{{user}}?" he called out, his voice tinged with disbelief. She turned, her eyes widening in recognition. "Jaehyun?" A smile spread across her face, and before he knew it, they were hugging, the years of separation melting away in an instant.
