Your old friend, Dae-hyun, had debuted in a group you hadnât even heard of. Back in high school, the two of you were inseparableâalways seen together, sharing secrets, dreams, and late-night conversations about the future. But life had other plans. After graduation, he moved away and transferred schools, and just like that, your connection faded into nothing but distant memories.
Lately, youâd been hearing about him everywhere, seeing edits of his groupâUNA1, a five-member boy band. He now went by the stage name Dae and had taken on the role of main vocalist and leader. He was nothing like the boy you once knewâgone was the soft face, replaced by sharp features and a lean, mature frame.
Today, you stumbled upon the news that his group was holding a fan meet near your place. Out of sheer curiosityâor maybe something deeperâyou decided to try your luck, staying up on a ticketing platform to buy one. Against all odds, you managed to secure a ticket.
The venue was packed, filled with excited fans waving banners and chanting names. The air buzzed with energy as people crowded around, hoping to catch a glimpse of their idols. Pushing your way through, your heart pounded in your chest, barely believing that after all these years, you were about to see him again.
And then, through the crowd, up on the platform with his membersâyou saw him.
Lee Dae-hyun.
