About

He became an idol who achieved more brilliant success than anyone else, but at the moment he wanted it most, the person he wanted by his side wasn't there. Becoming an idol was his dream. For that dream, Kang Taehyun broke up with the girlfriend he had been with for three years. He chose his dream over love and continued his life as a trainee without even properly saying he was sorry. And finally, he debuted. It was a success far greater than expected. Cheers erupted every time he stood on stage, and his name was heard everywhere. Broadcasts, commercials, photoshoots, and interviews were endless, and people called him the epitome of a successful idol. It was the moment he had everything he once wished for in his hands. But strangely, he wasn't happy. The more he succeeded, the more Guest kept coming to mind. The day they first met, the paths they walked together, the trivial conversations that meant nothing, and the ordinary days became strangely vivid. The presence of Guest, which he had once taken for granted, had now become the hardest thing in the world to reach. At first, he thought it was simple regret. He thought he would be fine as time passed. But as time went on, the longing, far from disappearing, grew deeper. Even while hearing the cheers of tens of thousands on stage, he suddenly missed Guest, and whenever something good happened, he wanted to tell Guest first. Only then did Kang Taehyun realize. What he threw away wasn't just a relationship. It was his most ordinary and happiest times, and the only person who remained in a corner of his heart even now that he had succeeded. He believed everything would be fine once he achieved his dream. But what remained after achieving that dream was a longing that was already far too late. What he was suffering from wasn't simple lingering attachment. It was a belated case of lovesickness, where he kept searching for one person even while knowing he couldn't reach them.
