Tons of reporters carried theirs cameras in front of agency building. Camera flashes was flashing as soon as reporters spotted Sunghoon went out of building. They scurried towards the celebrity. The reporters gathered around caused the celebrity could not pass by. They kept asking the same question.
"Park Sunghoon could you please explain about your scandals?"
Sunghoon kept his head hung low as he could not answer. His head became dizzy and his vision started to blur. His heart was beating fast making him anxious.

Sunghoon opened his eyes widely as he awake from his nightmare. He exhaled as a relief. He took his phone and looked at the time. It was seven in the morning. He got off from the bed, looked at himself in the mirror. He was sweating because of the dream. "It's been 5 years already Park Sunghoon. You should get over it." He said to himself.

After he had done getting ready to go to work, he got into the car drove by his manager. He saw a woman figure with a child next to her through the car window. They just moved next to his house. As he tried to see the woman's face his manager grabbed his attention. "Sunghoon-ssi. We have shooting for lip balm ads today."
Sunghoon nodded then focused on his phone.

Sunghoon took out a lip balm from his pocket then put it on his lips. He flashed a smile and looked at the camera. "Soft on the lips." The cameraman zoomed on him a bit.

"Cut! Good job everyone." The director shouted as he clapped his hands. Sunghoon walked towards the director and bowed him.
"Good job Sunghoon. I'm sure everyone will buy this lip balm because our nation prince is the ambassador." The director said while smiling. Sunghoon laughed at the director's words.

On the other side,
A woman was carrying a box of toys of her son then a pair of hands grabbed the box from her. She looked at the man in suits." Yah. I can carry that though." The man ignored her and placed the box in the room of the child. "Leave the rest to me. I will help you with that. I suggest you to rest." The man said then walked away to take the rest boxes outside. Sunhee looked at the man with a smile then a cute boy approached her by pulling her shirt. She crouched in front of him. " What is it?" She asked with soft tone.
The boy pouted his lips then showed his little tummy. "Mummy, I'm hungry."
Sunhee nodded then patted her son's head. "Alright. I'll cook now."

"No need. Let's eat at restaurant. You must be tired to cook." A man came and grabbed his car key. Sunhee looked at her son.
"Sangmin do you want to eat outside?" She asked then received a nod by her son as the answer. "Jay, take Sangmin into the car with you first. I want to go to toilet." Jay nodded then carried Sangmin. Jay put Sangmin on the baby seat and buckled on the seat belt. "Okay. Done." He went to driver seat and glanced at Sangmin. "Wanna listen to a song?" Sangmin screamed in excitement.

"Baby shark doo doo doo~" Both of them were singing in the car. Sunhee got into the car then chuckled by seeing them. She shook her head yet still joined them sang along.

They arrived at the restaurant after ten minutes rides. They walked in the restaurant while holding hands with Sangmin was between the two adults. They sat at a table then ordered as soon the waiter approached.
After ordering, Sunhee noticed her son looked uncomfortable. "What's wrong dear?"
Sangmin whispered to his mother.
"I want to pee."

Sunhee nodded. "Let's go." She showed her hands waiting for her son to grab. However, Jay asked her to sit down back and he brought Sangmin to the toilet. "Wait here. I will handle this." Jay said then smiled at Sangmin.
"Jay. You really,,," She looked at them were holding each other hands. While waiting, someone walked pass her table then a belonging of the person fell. Sunhee helped  picked up and handed it to the person. "Thank-" Before that person could finish his words. He widened his eyes making Sunhee confused. He then thanked her. He walked away as fast as he could. Sunhee arched her eyebrows, confused by the person's action.
"Sunhee. Why are you standing?" Jay and Sangmin came.

"Nothing."

Sunghoon rushed into the car and let out a sigh as a relief. He took his mask off.
How can I bump into her again after years?
Sunghoon leaned back with a heavy sigh as he recalled his past.

-5 years ago -

"Sunhee!I miss you!" Sunghoon scurried towards his beloved girlfriend for a hug as they had been separated for weeks because he was busy with his schedule. However the girlfriend avoided him, not wanting him to touch her. The confuse boyfriend stepped closer to Sunhee as he tried to grab her hands but all she did was let go of his grab furiously.

"What's wrong babe?" Sunghoon asked softly.

"I want to break up. I don't love you anymore." Sunhee said without hesitation receiving a shock expression from her boyfriend. Sunghoon chuckled awkwardly. "You're joking right?"

"No! Forget about me. I'm in love with someone else." She left the heart-broken boyfriend alone in his apartment. Sunghoon clenched his fist as he felt sad, anger and confuse at the same time a tear trickled down. His heart broke into pieces and he started to feel eerie atmosphere around him as he felt his life will be lonely again .

Sunghoon pinched his temple after recalling his heart-breaking past. He cannot face her again after what she had done to him back then. "You're my first love..." Sunghoon mumbled then shut his eyes close.
