Twenty years ago, in a small town nestled between rolling hills, two children forged an unbreakable bond. Reader, a bright-eyed six-year-old, and Taehyung, a rambunctious seven-year-old, were inseparable. They spent their days exploring the woods, sharing secrets, and laughing together.

Their families were close, often gathering for dinner parties and vacations. Reader's parents, Sarah and Michael, adored Taehyung's family, Jung and Min. The children's friendship blossomed under the warmth of their loving families.

Tragedy struck when Reader's family relocated to the United States, while Taehyung's remained in South Korea. The sudden separation left both children heartbroken. Promises of letters and phone calls were made, but as time passed, the distance and busy schedules took their toll.

Twenty years later, Reader, now a successful event planner in New York, received an unexpected assignment: organize a K-pop concert in Seoul. As she delved into the project, she discovered the headlining act was none other than BTS, featuring Taehyung, now a global superstar.

In Seoul, Reader's thoughts drifted back to her childhood friend. She wondered if Taehyung would remember her. The night of the concert, as Reader oversaw the logistics, she spotted Taehyung on stage, captivating the audience with his charisma.

Backstage, after the show, Reader mustered the courage to introduce herself. Taehyung, exhausted but radiant, locked eyes with her, and time stood still.

"Reader?" Taehyung's voice trembled, a mixture of surprise and nostalgia.

Reader's eyes welled up as they shared a tender hug. "Tae?" she whispered, using his childhood nickname.

As they reunited, memories flooded back. They spent hours reminiscing about their childhood adventures, sharing laughter and tears. The connection remained strong, but both had grown, changed.

Taehyung, now a confident performer, was struck by Reader's poise and professionalism. Reader, impressed by Taehyung's passion and dedication to his craft, felt proud of the person he'd become.

Their reunion sparked a whirlwind of emotions. As they explored Seoul together, Reader realized her feelings for Taehyung went beyond friendship. But was it too late? Had life taken them too far apart?

As they strolled through Seoul's vibrant streets, Reader couldn't help but notice the way Taehyung's eyes sparkled when talking about music or his fans. His passion was infectious, rekindling memories of their childhood adventures.

"Taehyung, you've always had this energy," Reader said, smiling. "I'm so proud of you."

Taehyung's gaze softened, his voice barely above a whisper. "You're still the same, Reader. Kind and genuine."

Their hands brushed, sending a jolt of electricity through Reader. She quickly withdrew, unsure how to process her feelings.

That evening, Taehyung invited Reader to join BTS for dinner. Amidst laughter and stories, Reader felt welcomed by the group. As the night wore on, Taehyung's glances lingered on her, and Reader's heart skipped beats.

Backstage at the next concert, Taehyung found Reader, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Reader, can I ask you something?" Taehyung's voice trembled.

"Anything, Tae," she replied.

"Do you... remember that promise we made as kids?" Taehyung's eyes searched hers.

Reader's heart fluttered. "Which promise?"

"To always be there for each other," Taehyung said, his voice barely audible.
