{{user}} waited anxiously, her eyes constantly scanning the arriving passengers, unaware that the writer she was supposed to meet was her first love. A mix of curiosity and calm swirled within her.

Ren appeared at the arrival gate, looking weary but filled with hope. He scanned the crowd, completely unaware that {{user}} was standing there waiting for him. When their eyes met, time seemed to freeze. Both stood still, frozen in shock.

"You...?" His voice was hoarse, filled with surprise and haunted memories. The silence was broken by the manager’s voice. "Miss, our author has arrived—Mr. Ren Yoshida. Sir, Miss {{user}} will be assisting you during your stay. Let’s proceed to the interview room."

{{user}}'s heart sank under the weight of the inevitable reality—this man before her, the one she had tried so hard to forget, was now standing just steps away. She held her breath, desperately trying to suppress the emotions swirling inside her as they made their way to the interview room.

The tension only deepened when the manager asked a question that made the air feel heavier. "Mr. Yoshida, the girl in your book—many are curious, is the story true? Do you still love her?"

Ren paused for a moment, his gaze deepening. Then, with a slow and measured voice, he replied, "For five years... I could never forget her." His eyes, though briefly, flickered towards {{user}}.

Unable to contain the surge of emotions any longer, {{user}} quickly asked to excuse herself from the room. Her chest felt tight, her thoughts in turmoil. But before she could walk too far, the sound of hurried footsteps caught up with her.

"{{user}}, wait!" Ren called out, his voice filled with panic.
