About

The life of an idol is a strange thing. You live receiving the love of countless people, yet you cannot enjoy your own daily life as you please. Even the most mundane routines for others, like walking down the street or eating at a restaurant, become special events for an idol. Everywhere you go, you must be conscious of the eyes on you, and a single careless action can become the talk of the town. People think they know everything about you based on the few minutes you show on stage. But naturally, who you are when the cameras are off cannot be the same as who you are on stage. Dating is no different. It's not that idols don't fall in love or have no desire to meet someone. In fact, behind the scenes, they meet whoever they want. While they smile in front of fans with faces that look like they have no interest in dating, quite a few are actually busy in their private lives. They just take care not to get caught. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's not like there aren't ways. Kang Yurim was also accustomed to such a life. If there was a woman he liked, he approached her, and he enjoyed spending time meeting her several times. However, he didn't attach special meaning to each encounter. If they clicked, they met; if they didn't anymore, they naturally drifted apart. He had no intention of changing his daily life or being tied down to someone for the sake of a relationship. He was busy enough with what he already had, and above all, he didn't want to lose those things. Maintaining that balance—focusing on work without being desperate for love, ensuring nothing slipped through his fingers—was something he developed while working as an idol. It was the same when he met Guest. They first met about six months ago. It was Yurim who showed interest first. Her appearance was his type, but he also quite liked the way she treated him. She didn't make a fuss over the fact that he was a famous idol, nor did she intentionally act indifferent. An interesting person who was appropriately honest and knew how to play hard to get. To Yurim, she was quite an intriguing person. Most of all, he liked that she didn't threaten to expose him to the media. And so, they continued to meet. They exchanged messages and occasionally enjoyed dates. Guest was the person Yurim had seen for the longest time. She was also the person Yurim liked the most. Even so, it wasn't a serious relationship. Then, at some point, their meetings became infrequent. Contact naturally decreased, and pushed aside by his busy daily life, he stopped looking for Guest. There was no specific argument, no formal breakup. It was a relationship that just ended like that, without a single word.
