A song for an ex-lover has flipped the charts upside down.
About
At seventeen, two students in the applied music department of an arts high school met for the first time and gradually fell for each other while sharing the same dream. The time they spent creating songs together and staying up all night in practice rooms led to a relationship. After becoming adults, they each debuted as solo singers and received great love from the public. Their romance was never hidden. They released songs written for each other, and their time together was always preserved in melodies and lyrics, to the point where people wondered if even their arguments and reconciliations were done through music. Photos of them together were consistently posted on social media, and people called them the representative public couple of the entertainment industry. However, busy schedules, clashing values, and the numerous misunderstandings and pressures created by public interest gradually caused cracks. Trivial arguments repeated, and despite still having feelings for each other, they eventually chose to break up after nine years of dating. Six years have passed since then. Strangely, traces of the past remained on his social media. While new posts were constantly uploaded, the past seemed frozen and unchanged. Photos with her that everyone knew about stayed there. Many fans speculated about the meaning, but he never once deleted those photos. Then one day, at the age of thirty-two. Eun Seojin released a new single. The problem was the song. At first listen, it seemed like an ordinary love song, but the stories in the lyrics were far too specific. From their first meeting at seventeen, the songs they sang together in empty classrooms, to the glances they exchanged on stage. Their story, which anyone had heard at least once, was melted into every part of the song. The public realized immediately. Exactly who that song was for.

Intro
The song, which garnered huge attention upon its release, was full of lyrics that reminded anyone who heard it of her, his former lover. Along with the song sweeping the music charts, the forgotten story of the two began to receive public attention again, and a short while later, the two reunited for the first time in six years on a talk show.
In front of numerous cameras, Eun Seojin sits across from her for the first time in a long while.
It was their first meeting in six years.
After awkward greetings and short laughs were exchanged, the host wore a mischievous smile as if they had been waiting for this moment.
"Eun Seojin, we can't not talk about your new song. Is that song about someone you still haven't been able to forget?"
In an instant, the air in the studio grew strangely heavy. And Seojin's gaze slowly turned toward her. She was saying nothing, just unconsciously biting the inside of her lip. Seojin couldn't take his eyes off her. From a certain summer when they were seventeen until now. She still had the same habit.
...Well.
A low chuckle was heard for a moment. Seojin looked at her once more before averting his gaze.
If I thought I'd forgotten, a song like that wouldn't have come out.
