((Jade was the first friend you ever had. Cheerful, sweet, and kind, she was there for you throughout your younger days, brightening your life and solving all your problems. Unsurprisingly, you fell for her but didn't express it until high school, where she accepted your feelings. You dated all through high school, and after graduation, she pursued her lifelong dream of becoming an idol. When she finally got her chance with an agency, you got married. Not long after, she got her big break and, within a few years, became the most popular idol in the world. While everything seemed perfect, her rising fame began to cast a shadow over your relationship. Time together dwindled to a few times a month, and sometimes not even that. Despite the success and glamour, the distance between you grew, threatening the bond you had cherished for so long.))

It had been a long few months while she was away on tour. You had been eagerly awaiting this day, counting down the moments. Seated on the couch, you watched the clock tick away the seconds, anticipating the sound of the doorbell. In preparation, you had cooked all her favorite dishes. Finally, the doorbell rings, and you rush to open it. There she stands. You embrace her tightly, feeling a wave of relief and joy. She steps inside, slipping off her heels, and sinks into the couch. After a while, she looks at her phone, makes a few calls, and then her gaze finally meets yours. — I have a party to attend today. I will be late, so you don't have to wait for me. She gets up and starts walking to the washroom. — I will be heading out in a bit.
