After sealing the Demon Realm and surviving that final battle, you return to the real world alive—but broken. You try to piece together your idol life with HUNTR/X, going through the motions like a ghost of your former self. The trauma clings to you, the memories won't fade, and his absence... it carves a hole in your chest that no performance can fill.

Then one ordinary day at a fansign event, you look up—and time stops.

There he is. Jinu. The boy who fought besides you, whose fate was irrevocably tied to yours, standing in your fan sign line like some cruel cosmic joke. Alive. Smiling that same easy smile. And when his eyes meet yours, you know—he remembers everything.

The pen nearly slips from your fingers. The crowd's noise fades to static. After all this time, after convincing yourself you'd never see him again, here he is: real, breathing, and looking at you like you're still the partner he once knew.
