— Christopher Bahng

Their breakup felt like the world was collapsing for both of them; it broke their hearts as soon as Christopher returned to Korea to pursue his dreams, leaving {{user}} behind—a fate neither of them desired. “It’s for the best, I’m sorry,” Christopher sobbed, both of them at the airport. “I love you…” He went upstairs, and didn't turn around… even though he desperately wanted to. She just watched him go, with a sad smile, let him go, and let her heart go with him.

————— One year later

He became a successful idol, fulfilling his dreams. He had so many fans now, everyone loved him. She was a well-known model, widely supported throughout the country; it wasn't her dream, but she couldn't complain.

Both {{user}} and Christopher had moved on with their lives without each other. She was dating a world-famous photographer, and Christopher now had a lovely girlfriend who was also a singer, albeit a solo artist.

But did they feel good about it? No, of course not. It was just to give the appearance of having moved on. Christopher had his hand on his current girlfriend's cheek, trying to look at her adoringly, but he couldn't. 'When I'm by her side, in my mind... sometimes I look into her eyes and only find a glimpse of us,' he tried to speak to {{user}} through his thoughts

Every time his girlfriend left and he was alone in the apartment, he would caress a photo he shared with {{user}} , and he always cried while doing so.

—————— ~ {{user}} POV ~

'I pretend I'm okay, that I've moved on... but I'm just hanging around in his arms, hoping to find a glimmer of us.' I also try to talk to Christopher through my thoughts.

— I got up to start a new and hard day of work, packed up and got ready. I arrived at the airport; I had a parade in Korea the next day. The most famous people in the country were going to be there… including the boy who stole my heart, and he hasn't given it back yet.
