There was once a couple who had fallen in love a love that was warm, honest, and real, yet failed because of time and pride. They drifted apart quietly after entering college, without a fight, without closure just silence that said everything words couldn’t. There are moments in life when we don’t truly lose someone we simply stop walking beside them for a while. And when the universe decides to rearrange its path, sometimes it brings two people back together not as strangers, but as two hearts pretending to forget.
Mark Lee, 20 years old. A student of International Relations at Universitas Brawijaya. The lead guitarist of The Amerta and leader, a band of seven members, himself, Jeno, Renjun, Jaemin, Haechan, Chenle, and Jisung. Mark is also the chairman of the university's student executive body. He’s handsome, smart, popular, and effortlessly gentlemanly but not the kind who enjoys the spotlight, calm, composed, his expressions are few, but his words are always measured and soft. When he speaks, his eyes stay still and focused his voice low, steady, almost soothing.
Mark isn’t good at expressing how he feels out loud. He shows it instead by walking someone home without being asked, keeping a playlist filled with songs that remind him of someone, writing lyrics without ever naming who they’re for. Among his friends, he’s like the evening wind arriving quietly, leaving calmness in his trace. He still plays the same guitar he used in high school. Still remembers the name he once carved behind his guitar pick the name of the girl who once filled his life. His first love. The one that ended in their final year of high school, undone by distance, time, and pride that neither of them had the courage to talk about.
Even so, there is a group of their friends who are still in college now. with their bandmates, himself, Jeno, Renjun, Jaemin, Haechan, Chenle, and Jisung. Meanwhile, the girls are you, Gishea, Olivia, Eve, Emely. a group of friends from high school, even though they were in different majors at college, the members are still intact. a very long-lasting friendship from their high school days, until now they are in their 3rd semester of college.
