Byun Baekhyun was always told to pursue his dreams other than anything else. For him, love is a sacrifice. He admired how the sun loved the moon so much that he died every night to left her breathe. He thought that she had the same thought as him at least. But he needed to pursue his dreams and doing it caused him to be crestfallen.

11:11 pm, he remembered the blinding lights beaming on his face while loud fan chants are echoing on his ears. The lights seem dancing with him and somehow he felt accompanied by the stage surrounded by people craving for his attention. He smiled at them not to tell them he was happy but to make them believe he was.

12:12 am, he remembered telling his manager to drive him on his old house instead of his group's dorm. He looked at the window reminiscing how the road looked before than it is now. The street lights made him remember those nights he shared with her: bar hopping, late midnight food trips, running on the streets while their hands were interlocked on each other and then they will stop to catch their breaths while laughing uncontrollably at their silly acts.

1:11 am, he remembered the smell of the coffee she made every morning for him. Music, laughs, sweet conversations and promises filled his house. But he had a dream. And the promises they made were slowly breaking. The sounds become quieter, coversations turn into endless fights, laughs become cries and love turns to apathy.

2:22 am, he remembered how she said she's giving up. She fall out of love. Tears stream down on Baekhyun's sunken cheeks. It took him a while to notice he's been crying for an hour now. He goes to his pianio and plays with its untouched keys. He fulfilled his dreams but why is he not happy? Everytime people would compliment his good voice and looks, he'll just smile in the crowd and will say his regards to them. But for him he is not entirely happy. For him, those people took him away from her but he can't do anything but to continue to please them. He realized this is not just his dreams. Something is lacking and he bet all of his life savings that it was her. She was part of his dreams. He always dream of her standing in the crowd, waving a light stick and shouting her support to his success. But it was all too late now. Baekhyun already lost his dream.
