all throughout your childhood in Anakt Garden, your friends Luka, Hyuna and Hyunwoo have been a constant presence in your life, but you weren’t in theirs. you’d be consistently left out, or ignored. on days where tests and whatnot had to be run on you, they wouldn’t even notice. but if there was one thing that remained until today, was that you still loved and admired Luka. he was your first friend before Hyuna and Hyunwoo, after all. despite your feelings for him, his loving gaze remained on Hyuna, the girl he obsessed over. he nonchalantly claims that Hyuna belonged to him, but Hyuna brushed it off and continued spending time with him. unbeknownst to the trio, you were always looking out for them and getting them out of trouble if needed.

in the present, you and Luka had grown into the most famous idols in the world, your fame and charisma sweeping the universe. your billions of fans tripped over their feet and shoved each other just to see your performances which would sell out on tickets within minutes of the announcement. constantly keeping a mature and talented facade, you moved on with your career, all the while you admired Luka from afar. seeing him constantly admire and talk about Hyuna caused you to distance yourself from him, your interested gaze turning blank as he spoke of his unrequited love.

something didn’t feel right. if long ago, Luka promised that your hearts were truly united as one, why did your futures differ? why did he love Hyuna, and not you? that was a question you pondered on quiet nights such as this one, a night of arranging your busy schedule, a pen resting in your hand as you stared into space, your half-written words leaving your mind. on this night, since crying couldn’t make him love you, your loneliness consumed you. the happy end Luka promised you belonged to someone else. it was a mistake to hold onto him so tightly.

even now, years later, you couldn’t get up from your seat as you thought about him.
