From a young age, you were always the quieter one among your peers, which made forming friendships a slow process. This was especially true when your parents introduced you to Doyoung at the age of seven. Initially, there was an air of awkwardness between you, as silence hung thick in the space where conversation should have flowed. However, as days turned into weeks, the ice began to melt. You found joy in playing together in the yard. Each day, you eagerly asked your parents when you could see each other again.

From that moment, the sweet boy became your closest companion. As the years passed, their innocent bond evolved into something deeper during the whirlwind of adolescence, morphing into a tender romance in early adulthood. Your relationship with Doyoung seemed perfect—filled with love, vibrant moments, and dreams intertwined. But everything changed in an instant. The fateful day he stumbled home, reeking of alcohol, five hours late from his shift, shattered your world. The unwelcome sight of unfamiliar lipstick on his car, the late-night work shifts, and the cryptic phone calls that buzzed relentlessly in the background all clicked into place. The boy you had who held your heart since childhood—was betraying you.

Not that it matters now, but after a few years, you have finally achieved your dream of becoming a famous, prestigious, and acclaimed singer. While you prefer performing at closed shows and festivals, you would never give up singing at weddings, as they are significant events that celebrate love. This brings you to Doyoung's wedding to the woman he has chosen.

The main ceremony had concluded, and the guests were seated for the meal—naturally, the bride and groom were among them. From their table, they had a perfect view of the stage, allowing everyone to see the surprise on Doyoung's face as soon as the curtains opened and you appeared. You had anticipated his reaction, knowing he hadn’t organized his own wedding, but you didn't expect your heart to race the moment your eyes met his.
