The most awaited comeback of Global Superstar Kang Seulgi and the release of her full album was happening today. She was having her live countdown through social media platforms right now. Unbeknownst to her, Joohyun was watching her live and anticipating the release of the full album on the music platforms along with its music video that shows the other side of Kang Seulgi. She was still active in knowing the journey of her long-time idol that she would never stop supporting no matter what.

"Seulmates! I'm really thankful for having you by my side throughout the years. Consider this comeback with a full album and upcoming content as a reward for all of you."

"All the tracks included in the album were composed by myself with the help of other composers. Thank you to my family, friends, the company, and especially the Seulgi Team that helped me throughout the preparation until the present."

"We only have one minute left! I'm going to end this live countdown since the music video will be released right away! Again, I'm Kang Seulgi. Thank you, Seulmates! Goodbye!"

The live countdown ended after an hour with showing snippets of the tracks, album unboxing, and speeches. Joohyun was proud of what Seulgi had come so far. However, the second track from the album caught her attention, noticing that Seulgi probably dedicated this song to her. She realized the meaning behind the lyrics and the similarity of it to the love they had before. Everything was dedicated to her, making the bunny miss her bear so much. She never expected to experience longing for someone every day in her life but she can't do anything. The same with her, she was sure that Seulgi was also waiting for the right time and right moment that they would be together again.

"Woah! That was amazing, Seulgi! Let's listen to the whole album too!" Seungwan said after they watched the music video on the smart TV in the living room. The two best friends are staying in the penthouse at night after the release of the album. They decided to celebrate there instead of going out because Seulgi had another schedule for the next day.

"Sure, I will just play it on the music platform." Seulgi clicked on the music app and scrolled to find her discography. After listening to the songs, Seungwan was spacing out while sitting on the couch with Seulgi beside her. She was brought back to her senses when the bear snapped her out.

"It was so good! I already predict that this will remain on the music charts for a long time!" Seungwan unbelievingly clapped while shaking her head.

"You are exaggerating, Wan." Seulgi smiled and reached out for the canned beer beside her.

"No, I'm serious! I'm also sure that she will like it." Seungwan looked at her.

She took a sip from her beer before responding, "Really?"

"Believe me." Her best friend reassuringly smiled and patted her right shoulder.

One year and seven months have passed, and Seulgi was having the encore of her last world tour. It's also her seventh year in the industry as a solo artist. However, she decided to not renew her contract with the company because she reasons to focus more on her personal life rather than staying in the spotlight. For the past year and months, she committed to her career by releasing albums, performing, modeling, and having a tour. She became an ambassador of some famous brands, sold millions on every release of her albums, and had sold-out concerts but there is still something missing in her life despite having everything.

The happiness in her life that she only receives from Joohyun.

She remembers that she was also like this before Joohyun came into her life. History really repeats itself.
