On the quest to deliver his beloved's arrow, Cupid meticulously looked for the man who captivated her. Upon taking a shot whilst aiming for their hearts, unbeknownst to him, the arrow backfired.

Sometimes, the most dangerous love isn't the one you're chasing... It's the one that has been there all along. The kind that stretches, waits, and becomes wider than the sky.

An Epistolary

Ran is the lead of Lovesicks, a rising band whose music is capturing hearts everywhere. Beside him is Berry-his girlfriend, the band's brilliant songwriter, and the soul of every melody they create together. But as fame, money, and excess begin to change Ran, the harmony between them starts to crack. Nights of parties, women, and ego leave Berry feeling unseen, unheard, and unvalued. One day, she leaves quietly, chasing her own dreams and leaving Ran alone with the consequences of his arrogance. Now, the songs feel empty, the applause hollow, and the music he once shared with her echoes like a memory he can't reach. Ran clings to the traces of Berry the lyrics, the little carved heart, their shared moments-hoping to find the melody he lost. But some tunes fade forever. Some loves can't be rewritten. Can Ran find the missing melody... or will he keep playing a song that's already gone?

However, just like a star that leaves behind its remnant after it fades, he leaves something behind-a memory that Therese feels she must pursue. In her pursuit of the remnant, it's the lingering memories of him that bind her to the past, to a connection she can't seem to let go of.
