"Lee Heeseung, your debut was enchanting! No Korean solo singer has ever reached such a milestone with their debut," the host said lively. The mentioned person nodded and sat down sincerely.

He looked at the cameras and then behind them. The audience was screaming his name like crazy and holding up many different cute signs, some of which had strange things written on them.

"Your debut song 'Strangers' is a song that is obviously about two strangers who are actually quite close and share a certain chemistry. Can you tell us more about this song?"

Lee Heeseung cleared his throat and smiled at the host:

"The song, as I said, is about two people who are strangers but also incredibly close. But they have to hide their affection for each other from others because they are supposed to remain strangers. There is a certain chemistry between them that only they share."

"But at some point, they can no longer hide it. They no longer want to be strangers to each other in public," he continued. He paused briefly, then remembered something else:

"If you look at the song credits, you'll see that it wasn't written by me in the first place. The song was written by invisibleGirl, a producer who wants to remain private."

"Will we hear more from invisibleGirl?" asked the host, raising an eyebrow. Heeseung laughed dismissively.

"Unfortunately, no."

The host nodded and realized she had forgotten her other notes, so she looked at her team, who then brought them to her.

"Sorry for this little misunderstanding," she said awkwardly, quickly sorting her notes.

"The last question for tonight: Lee Heeseung, why did you decide to become a singer in the first place? What inspired you to share your music and yourself with the world? Can you tell us more about that?" asked the host.

"The story behind it isn't exactly ordinary, but it had a big influence on me and who I am today," Heeseung began.

"Ten years ago, I met a girl. I had known her before because she always stood out to me in the crowd, and I personally liked her very much. She is someone very special to me," he continued, smiling at the thought of her.

"She influenced my life a lot in a short time. Her heart is the most precious thing that ever existed. It is special and unique, which made her unique as well."

"She knew I was incredibly interested in singing and loved it. But due to some difficulties, I couldn't pursue it. I didn't want to do anything about those difficulties myself; 19-year-old boys are always such losers," he laughed.

"Her wish, however, was to release a song, as she loved writing herself. Together, we fulfilled all her wishes that she wanted completed before her death, and only one remained—this one."

"She wanted to see me release her song. That gave me the courage to start working on my career. There were people against it. It was hard, especially since I had also suffered a tragic loss before," he paused briefly and composed himself.

"But because of her, I kept going. And now, here I am," he said grinning. The audience applauded, and the interview ended.

Heeseung made his way to his team, who were already waiting for him.

"invisibleGirl? Who is that, and why are you talking about some girl? Are you trying to ruin your career on your debut?" his manager asked, incredulous. Heeseung's mouth curled into a smile as he got styled for the next interview.

"I will talk about my invisible girl everywhere," he said, taking out his phone. He only had to press once, and a picture of his love appeared as the background.

Heeseung grinned, remembering when they had made their first wish together—to bake pizza in a pizzeria.

"My sloth," he murmured, looking at the picture until he was fully styled.

--------------

Nervously, Heeseung stood in the backstage area. From there, you could hear the whole audience. He was about to hold his first solo concert, which was very exciting.

"Heeseung Hyung," called Riki, running up to him. They hugged, and the others came to support him as well.

"You can do it," said Jungwon, giving a thumbs-up. Heeseung grinned.

"Wow, I never thought you would become something like this," said Sunghoon, patting him on the shoulder.

"Neither did I," said Yedam, and Heeseung had to roll his eyes. Although they didn't have the best relationship, they accepted each other.

"She will be proud of you," said Garam with a tear. Heeseung nodded, touching his heart. He felt that she was in his heart, because there had always been a connection between them.

"Daddy, there you are!" called a little girl, running into Sunghoon's leg. Annoyed, he picked her up and looked angrily into her eyes.

"Where is your mom and your brother?" he asked. The girl shrugged, and a woman came running.

"Sunghoon! Where is Hooni?" she asked, looking around. It wasn't her idea to go backstage but her husband's.

"No idea, why do we have kids?" he asked, annoyed. Being a father really wore him out.

"You insisted on having a second child, so you better watch out," she said, continuing to search. Sunghoon turned to his friends, looking frustrated:

"I need to find Hoonie, or Yerin will kill me," he said and joined the search for his son.

"Heeseung, you're up soon," called his manager, and Heeseung nodded. He said goodbye to his friends and walked onto the platform that would take him to the stage.

He placed his hand on his heart, closed his eyes, and thought of her.

"Here we go!"

The platform began to rise. Heeseung felt his pulse and nervousness increase. His hand went back to his heart.

"Please, be with me," he whispered, thinking of his invisible girl.

Once he was on the big stage, he threw his fears and worries aside because it was time to rock the stage.

---------------

"And now," Heeseung said, out of breath into the microphone.

"I will sing an unreleased song that I wrote ten years ago for a special person. I love this person more than I live, and I will continue to love them."

The crowd in the hall screamed like crazy. Heeseung felt happy that he could stand on stage thanks to her. Before he started singing "invisible girl," he looked up at the sky, hoping she would watch him.

"Invisible girl," he said with a sad smile.

"I love you."

One might think there are only two kinds of love:

One, for which you could kill

And one, for which you would die

But for Heeseung, Yuju was the kind of love

For which he would live.
