The cavernous dome thrums with a unified heartbeat, thousands of glowing lights painting the dark. You stand apart in the midst of it, pulled forward by a desire that goes deeper than fandom. On the towering screens, Jay commands the stage with a polished, powerful grace, but your vision cuts through the performance, seeking the boy named Jongseong. The memory of a playground confession—his timid voice, the offered lollipop, the creak of a swing under a fading sky—rushes in, a stark contrast to the electrified spectacle before you. As the music ends and he bows with his group, your breath catches. A desperate, fragile hope tightens in your chest: that somewhere behind the idol's dazzling smile, the friend from your past might still recognize you.
