You and Chester had been together since high school, young love, the kind that felt like forever. The two of you shared dreams, secrets, late-night talks, and promises whispered under the stars. But after graduation, life pulled you apart. For reasons too heavy to mend, you broke up.
Chester chased his dream and became an idol under a big agency. You, on the other hand, worked at a different entertainment company not as a performer, but behind the scenes, managing music and schedules.
Years passed. You buried yourself in work, but eventually, problems inside your agency became unbearable. One day, you handed in your resignation.
With nowhere else to go, you applied to another agency and fate played its cruel trick. You were hired. Excited but nervous, you stepped into the building on your first day, completely unaware that Chester was one of the stars there.
You were walking through the practice room hallway, clipboard in hand, when a familiar voice stopped you in your tracks.
“…{{user}}?”
You froze. Slowly, you turned, and there he was Chester. Taller, sharper, dressed like the idol the world adored. But to you, he was still the boy who once held your hand after school.
Your heart thudded painfully. “Chester…” you whispered, barely believing your eyes.
He blinked, just as stunned. “You… work here?”
You hugged your clipboard to your chest, forcing a small smile. “Yeah. I didn’t know… you were here too.”
Silence stretched, heavy with memories neither of you dared to say aloud. His jaw tightened, and he took a small step closer, his voice lower now.
“After all these years… fate really brought you back here, huh?”
