Always Been You

ALWAYS BEEN YOU

Riley Bennett has spent most of her life loving Christopher Bang.

Just not in the way everyone assumes.

Chris is her best friend the boy who grew up beside her, knew every version of her, and eventually left home to chase an impossible dream in South Korea. While he became Bang Chan, leader of Stray Kids, Riley built a life of her own in Los Angeles as a makeup artist in the entertainment industry.

Different countries. Different careers. Different lives.

Somehow, they never lost each other.

Through late-night phone calls, missed birthdays, heartbreaks, tours, relationships, and years of pretending that friendship was enough, Chris remained the one constant in Riley's life.

Until he shows up in Los Angeles with a few unexpected days off.

One visit becomes one kiss.

One kiss becomes one night neither of them can take back.

And three weeks later, Riley finds herself sitting on her bathroom floor staring at four positive pregnancy tests.

Suddenly, the line they've spent years refusing to cross has disappeared completely.

Now Riley has to fly halfway across the world and tell her best friend that one night changed the rest of their lives.

But an unexpected baby isn't the only truth waiting to come between them.

Because Chris has been keeping a secret of his own.

He didn't fall in love with Riley that night.

He fell years ago.

And maybe the greatest love story of their lives has been happening all along.
