01.

Yeosang had always been the boy who had it all. As an idol, his life was a whirlwind of concerts, fan meetings, and press conferences. His face adorned billboards, his name echoed through the hearts of millions, and his time was never truly his own. But amidst the deafening applause and flashing cameras, there was something missing.

One breezy spring afternoon, a chance encounter in the heart of Seoul would change everything. Yeosang had a rare day off, and a sudden craving for coffee led him to a cozy little cafe tucked away on a quaint street. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the soothing ambiance beckoned him inside.

The bell above the door tinkled as Yeosang entered, and he scanned the small cafe, taking in the warm colors, the soft hum of conversation, and the sight of people engrossed in their books or laptops. But what caught his attention most was the person behind the counter, with a friendly smile that tugged at the corners of her lips.

Hyemi.

Time had been kind to her. She had grown from the girl he once knew into a graceful woman, her eyes sparkled with the same sense of curiosity, and her smile held the same warmth that had made her his closest friend during their childhood.

The recognition was mutual. Hyemi's eyes widened with surprise when she saw Yeosang, a name that had become synonymous with stardom. It had been years since they had last seen each other, and neither of them had expected this chance reunion.

Yeosang approached the counter, feeling the weight of his celebrity status fading as he met Hyemi's gaze. "Hyemi, is that really you?" he asked, his voice filled with a mix of disbelief and nostalgia.

A genuine smile spread across Hyemi's face as she nodded. "Yeosang, it's been such a long time. How have you been?"

And with that simple question, the door to the past swung wide open, revealing a connection that neither of them had forgotten. In the midst of the bustling city, two childhood friends had been brought together again, and their story was about to unfold in ways they could have never imagined.
