Desperate to protect Chanhee from the hate he's receiving from his fans, Juyeon broke up with him. But he made a mistake: he didn't tell the reason why he's breaking up with him.

Fate found a way for them to meet again, and although Juyeon's eyes are still filled with love and longing, Chanhee's has no expression in them anymore.

⌗NOTE !

PART1 ◆ hi, i love you.
bye, i can't be with you.

When Juyeon was young, he was always asked what he wants to be when he grows up. The timespan of him thinking what to answer varies, but in the end it all comes down to one answer — be an idol. Indeed, being an idol is Juyeon's dream job. He always has a passion and a want to perform on stage, in front of many people. He wants to be a performer because he was born to be a performer.

So when a chance for Juyeon to achieve his dreams opened, he quickly grabbed the chance. He worked hard, even if the entertainment company is two rides away, even if his social life is gone, even if his grades lowered, even if it leaves him with no time to sleep at all. Who cares about sleep or social life or grades anyways, Juyeon's still happy because he's achieving his dreams. He's still determined because everyone supports him — his family, his friends, and Chanhee.

Chanhee.

If we were to describe Chanhee, it will be Juyeon's world. They were childhood friends, inseparable since birth. When you see Chanhee, expect to see Juyeon too. They were the best of friends, until feelings grew and Juyeon confesses to Chanhee in the first year of high school. In front of everyone, after a duet that they both performed in a school festival.

They were the most perfect couple everyone met. They were a match made in heaven. They're soulmates. And everyone adored them.

Juyeon always deems himself lucky for meeting and getting to be with someone as perfect as Chanhee. Chanhee is everything that Juyeon could ask for. He is a bestfriend, a lover, a first love all wrapped up in one person. And he also supports Juyeon's dreams, even helping him practice with singing — an aspect that Juyeon isn't much confident in.

When Juyeon finally debuted, Chanhee was there in his showcase to congratulate him. When Juyeon's group got their first win, Chanhee surprised him with a cake. When Juyeon became a covermodel for a magazine for the first time, Chanhee pre-ordered a hundred copies.

Really, Juyeon has everything a person could ask for. A stable career, supportive friends, and a loving boyfriend. And he'll make sure it stays that way, with him thinking of proposing to Chanhee anytime soon.

But life isn't just one smooth journey.

"Hee, why are your eyes so red? Did you cry?"

Juyeon's group just finished promotions, and they have two weeks to rest before they start preparing for another comeback. The first thing Juyeon did was visit his boyfriend, since they haven't talked much due to Juyeon's busy schedule.

"Oh, are they?" Chanhee rubbed his eyes. "I got carried away with the drama I was watching."

Juyeon pursed his lips. It sounds like Chanhee is lying, but Juyeon knows that he can't push him into saying the truth. He'll just wait 'til Chanhee is ready to open up to him.
