STAND BY ME　؛ ✿　.　˚　LEE HEESEUNG

♫ stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be ⊹ ࣪ ˖

synopsis : post-university graduation life has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. between figuring out whether to pursue a post-graduate degree, get a job, or somehow manage both at once, adulthood comes crashing down on you faster than you ever expected.

but if you're being honest, none of that occupies your mind nearly as much as lee heeseung does.

your relationship with him has always been rocky. for the past two years, your friends have spent countless nights telling you to leave him, reminding you that love isn't supposed to hurt this much. maybe they're right. maybe loving heeseung has always felt like holding onto something that keeps slipping through your fingers.

the problem is, you've never been able to find the heart to let him go.

even when he disappears into himself. even when he drowns his problems in cigarette smoke, half-empty bottles, and silences that stretch for days. even when you're the one left dealing with the fallout of things he refuses to talk about.

but lately, for the first time, you're starting to wonder if staying is worth it.

because if loving lee heeseung means constantly waiting for him to choose himself, then maybe it's finally time for you to choose yourself too.

right?

I’M OUTTA TIME　؛ ✿　.　˚　PARK JONGSEONG

♫ guess i’m out of time ⊹ ࣪ ˖

synopsis : one thing you’ve had in common with your fiancé, park jongseong, is that both of you express yourself through art.

he turns sound into feeling, and you turn feeling into color, and somewhere along the way, that became the easiest way to understand each other.

for a long time, it worked in a way that didn’t need much explanation. his music filled your days, your paintings quietly carried traces of him, and the engagement felt like something inevitable, like it had simply settled into place over time.

but after that, time started slipping in strange ways. plans were postponed without urgency, schedules stopped aligning, and “later” slowly became the shape most of your promises took.

you notice the shift first in your work. not in what you paint, but in what no longer appears — his presence fading out of your canvases until it feels like he was never really there to begin with.

and then there are days when the studio feels different in ways you can’t quite place, as if something familiar has already started to loosen its hold and drift somewhere just out of reach.

so how exactly do you hold on to something that’s already slipping away?

WONDERWALL　؛ ✿　.　˚　SIM JAEYUN

♫ and after all, you’re my wonderwall ⊹ ࣪ ˖

synopsis : one thing you've always known about sim jaeyun is that he makes people feel safe.

maybe that's why becoming his girlfriend had felt so natural. somewhere between shared lecture notes, late-night study sessions, and countless walks across campus, loving him became second nature, something woven so deeply into your life that you stopped noticing where you ended and he began.

for a long time, it felt permanent.

until one day, it didn't.

when you wake up in a hospital room after an accident, your memories are still there. your family, your friends, your classes, your life. even jaeyun.

you remember his name.

you remember his face.

you even remember that he's your boyfriend.

what you don't remember is why.

the stories are still there, preserved in photographs and retold by people who watched the two of you fall in love. they insist he was your favorite person, the one who knew you better than anyone else ever could. but no matter how many memories belong to the two of you, they feel strangely distant, like pages torn from someone else's life.

but there are days when his presence begins to feel familiar in ways you can't explain. the comfort of sitting beside him in class, the instinctive urge to search for him in crowded hallways, the way your heart stumbles whenever he smiles at you for too long.

not memories, definitely not memories, but rather something entirely new.

or maybe something finding its way back.

how do you remember a love you've forgotten when you're already falling for him all over again?

DON’T GO AWAY　؛ ✿　.　˚　PARK SUNGHOON

♫ so don’t go away, say what you say ⊹ ࣪ ˖

synopsis : years ago, park sunghoon was just a stranger on a screen.

what started as a random encounter on omegle quickly became a routine neither of you could let go of. online games turned into late-night calls, late-night calls turned into endless conversations, and before long, he had become the person who knew everything about you despite having never met you in person.

for a while, it worked in a way that didn't need much explanation. your days began and ended with him, every notification carried the possibility of a message from him, and the distance between your cities felt insignificant compared to everything you shared.

until one day, it didn't.

without warning, you disappeared.

no goodbye, no explanation, no anything.

nothing at all.

years pass.

a new city, a new career, a new life.

you've spent years convincing yourself that the version of you who stayed awake until sunrise talking to a boy she met online no longer exists, and that whatever happened between the two of you is better left in the past.

then your first day as a junior associate attorney at one of the city's most prestigious law firms proves otherwise.

because standing at the front of the conference room is the last person you ever expected to see again.

park sunghoon.

older, sharper, and no longer separated from you by a screen.

he remembers literally everything. the games you used to play together. the calls that lasted until morning. the plans you made. the promises you never got the chance to keep. every single thing.

and while he treats you with the same professionalism he offers everyone else, there are moments that make you wonder if he's truly moved on at all. coffee waiting on your desk before particularly difficult meetings, patient guidance whenever you make mistakes, and a familiarity that lingers no matter how many years have passed.

because unlike you, sunghoon never got the opportunity to do things properly the first time around.

and now that fate has placed you back in his life, he isn't willing to let the chance slip away again.
