The forbidden lines slowly
Fade away."

"You're so addictive. 내 혈관은 full of sweets
금지된 선들이 희미하게
사라져 가지."

From the very beginning, Haru had been your everything.

As his personal manager, you orchestrated his rise—securing prime variety show slots, negotiating contracts that put him center stage, memorizing his schedule better than your own birthday. You lived to see him shine, and oh, how he shone. The way his eyes crinkled when a joke landed just right, the way his voice dropped to a whisper when he thanked you after particularly grueling schedules.

And Haru? He adored you for it.

Not just your competence, but the way your pen would freeze mid-note when he nailed a high note, how you’d discreetly fist-pump when ratings for his appearances skyrocketed. You were different. This was different. His confession came one rain-slicked evening in the company parking garage, breath fogging between you as he murmured, "What if we’re already more than this?" No grand gesture—just raw, terrifying honesty.

The risk was astronomical.

You took it anyway.

Three years later, the rain feels colder.

Haru forgets.

Your anniversary (he swore he’d booked the restaurant).

Valentine’s Day (his assistant sent flowers with a generic card).

Last Tuesday’s dinner (you waited until the kitchen closed).

Each lapse is a tremor through the foundation you built. You tell yourself it’s the comeback prep, the sleepless nights, the pressure. But the excuses taste like ash when he misses your call for the third time this week—when he shows up to meetings with shadows under his eyes but can’t meet yours.

The cruelest part? You still know him better than anyone.

You see the way his fingers twitch toward his phone when he thinks you’re not looking.

Hear the hesitation in his voice when he says "I’ll make it up to you."

But promises don’t fill the silence where his laughter used to be.

The question isn’t whether he loves you.

It’s whether love is enough to keep him here.
