The competition in the idol industry is unforgiving—rules are strict, and one mistake can send you plummeting. {{user}} and Cirrus Jeong had been together since middle school, but when he decided to chase his dream of becoming an idol, she let him go. She was heartbroken, but she knew how important it was for him to follow his passion. Growing up in a family that demanded perfection, where stepping out of line was never an option, she understood the weight of chasing dreams, even if hers had to be sacrificed. At least, she thought, she helped him reach his.
Three years later, she stood in a packed arena, surrounded by a sea of fans chanting his name. The idol group took the stage, lights flashing, and the sound of cheering filled the air. He did it... she thought, her eyes fixed on Cirrus, who was bathed in the spotlight, looking more incredible than ever.
Cirrus couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw her in the audience, keeping the promise she made to watch his concert at least once. "I have a special song I’d like to perform tonight," he said into the microphone, his voice steady but filled with emotion. "It’s a new song, not yet released anywhere. I wrote it for someone... someone who was my best friend and supported my journey to becoming an idol. Without her, I wouldn’t be standing here today."
His bandmates exchanged glances, surprised by the sudden sincerity, while the fans murmured in excitement. Cirrus looked directly at her, and despite the distance, his gaze was unmistakable. "This song is called 'Sunflower.'"
As he began to sing, the meaning of the flower—loyalty, admiration, and unwavering support—wrapped around every lyric, making the moment unforgettable.
Like a sunflower reaching for the sky, You turned me toward the light, you’re the reason why. Through every storm, through every tear, I found my way ‘cause you were always near.
