The apartment was quiet. Too quiet.
You sighed, rolling your stiff shoulders as you pushed open the front door, toeing off your shoes with a tired groan. Work had been a beast—endless meetings, last-minute revisions, and a client who seemed allergic to the word "deadline." All you wanted was to collapse onto the couch with your boyfriend and forget the world existed for a few hours.
But the moment you stepped inside, the air shifted.
The usual clutter of Ni-ki’s dance gear and half-empty water bottles was gone. The living room was dim, lit only by the warm glow of candles—real ones, not the battery-operated ones you usually kept around because someone had nearly set the curtains on fire last time. The scent of something—was that garlic?—drifted from the kitchen, mingling with something floral. Roses?
Your eyebrows shot up.
"Riki?"
No answer.
A quick sweep of the apartment revealed the dining table—set with your good plates, the ones you only pulled out for special occasions. A single red rose lay across your napkin. The pasta in the center looked… charred at the edges, but the effort was unmistakable.
Your chest warmed. Anniversary. You’d completely forgotten.
A rustling sound came from the bedroom. And then, a thud.
Oh have you already figured it out.
"Riki?" you called again, voice laced with amusement. "If you’re hiding in there, I swear—"
The door creaked open.
And then—
Holy shit.
There he stood, bathed in the golden light of the bedside lamp, completely naked—save for the disaster of red ribbons haphazardly wrapped around his body.
As the door creaked, he turned towards you, face struck with disaster seeing you seeing him still not ready.
A stash of ribbon looped around his waist like a belt, others tangled around his biceps in a way that looked more accidental than artistic.
A single bow sat crookedly on his hip, barely clinging on. His face was flushed, his usually confident smirk wobbling into something painfully unsure.
"Shi- I mean ... Surprise?" He said, voice cracking.
You blinked. And then, you lost it.
A loud, unfiltered laugh burst out of you, doubling you over as you clutched your stomach. *"Oh my god—*what—what is happening right now?!"
Ni-ki’s expression flickered between mortification and defiance. "I—I researched this!" he insisted, gesturing wildly—which only made the ribbon around his wrist slip further. "It was supposed to be romantic!"
"Romantic?" you wheezed. "You look like a craft store exploded on you!"
"I panicked!" he whined, trying—and failing—to adjust the mess of fabric. *"The tutorial made it look easy, but then I couldn’t—why is this so complicated?!"
"Tuto- they have this on Youtube?!" You wheezed.
"Tumblr, okay? Tumblr!" Ni-ki whined, his art piece moving around as his frame did.
You wiped tears from your eyes, stepping closer. "Okay, okay—let me help." You gently tugged at a loose ribbon near his collarbone. "This one’s just… hanging here. Were you trying to tie it like a scarf?"
Ni-ki groaned, hiding his face in his hands. "I give up. This is the worst anniversary surprise ever."
You bit back another laugh, cupping his cheeks. *"No, no—it’s perfect."
He peeked, slowly, through his slender fingers. "...Really?"
"Really," you grinned. "I mean, yeah, it’s ridiculous—but that’s you. My ridiculous, over-the-top, adorable boyfriend who—" You paused, eyes trailing down. "—somehow thought ribbons were the key to seduction."
Ni-ki pouted. "It worked, though."
You snorted. "Did it?"
"You’re looking," he pointed out smugly.
"Hard not to when you’re basically a present with a bow on your—" You gestured vaguely. "—well, everything."
He laughed then, bright and unrestrained, the sound melting into the apartment's quiet. For a moment, the absurdity of it all faded—the ribbons, the burnt pasta, the fact that you’d forgotten today was special. None of it mattered.
Because he was here. Yours.
You brushed a thumb over his cheek, voice softening. "You didn’t have to do all this, you know."
Ni-ki leaned into your touch, his earlier bravado fading into something quieter. "I wanted to. You’ve been working so hard… I just—" He hesitated. "I didn’t want you to think that ..."
'That?" You looked at him, with his eyes reciprocating a yearning gaze.
"That I was ... getting boring."
Your heart clenched.
"Hey," you murmured, pressing your forehead to his. "You could never be boring. You’re the guy who came up to me first when I was a new kid and showed me around Shibuya even though we hadn't told our parents about it."
Ni-ki laughed. "The same day too—"
"The same day too!" You chuckled. "That was my first day, and I went with the popular kid on a trip downtown!"
Both of you laughed at the memory, Ni-ki beating your arms as his body couldn't contain his laughter.
"Also, who proposed to me with a pack of those golden Haribo gummies he so hardly earned after a week and cried when I said yes. Who still tries to make me carry him to bed even though he's taller than me now—"
"You can still do it!" he protested.
"You're past 6 foot!"
"And I'm light as a feather—"
You kissed him.
Slow, sweet, lingering—until the tension in his shoulders melted away, until your hands found his waist, pulling him a bit closer.
When he finally pulled back, his eyes were warm, his smile small but real.
"I love you," you whispered. "Ribbons or no ribbons."
Ni-ki exhaled, resting his head against your shoulder. "...Even if the pasta’s burnt?"
"Even then."
A beat of silence. Then—
"...So," he drawled, fingers tracing idle patterns on your hip. "Since you do like the ribbons…"
You rolled your eyes. "Oh my god."
"Wanna unwrap your gift?" His voice dropped, lips brushing your ear. "I hear it’s one of a kind."
You groaned, half-exasperated, half-aroused. "You’re impossible."
Ni-ki grinned, all teeth. "But you love me."
And as the candles flickered, as the pasta sat forgotten, as his hands slid under your shirt with far too much confidence for someone literally tangled in ribbons—
You couldn’t argue.
"Yeah," you breathed, tugging him back toward the bed. "I really do."
Right there, you could feel his warmth once again, bathing your lips in such sweet harmony.
The kiss deepened, slow and syrupy, his mouth against yours. The ridiculousness of the ribbons faded into the background—now all you could focus on was the way his hands slid up your back, the way his breath hitched when you bit his lower lip.
You pulled back just enough to murmur against his mouth, "So. These ribbons."
Ni-ki grinned, all mischief. "What about them?"
"They're everywhere," you laughed, plucking at the one draped over his shoulder. "How did you even manage to find the time and prepare all this?"
He huffed, but his cheeks flushed darker. "I just had time, you know? Also, it's harder than it looks." His fingers twitched against your waist. "Maybe you should... help me out."
"Oh?" You arched a brow, dragging a fingertip along the ribbon circling his wrist. "You want me to fix this mess?"
Ni-ki’s breath stuttered. "I want you to take it all off."
Your stomach flipped.
Slowly, teasingly, you tugged at the loose end of the ribbon around his wrist. It unraveled with a whisper of silk, pooling at his feet. Your fingers trailed up his arm, following the path of another ribbon—this one looped haphazardly around his bicep. You tugged, and it slipped free, revealing the smooth, sun-kissed skin beneath.
Ni-ki watched you with half-lidded eyes, his chest rising and falling just a little faster now.
"Like what you see?" he murmured, voice rough.
You smirked. "I might."
Another ribbon, this one slung low around his waist, barely holding on. You tugged it free with a slow pull, letting your knuckles graze his hipbone. His breath caught.
"Tease," he accused, but he didn’t stop you.
You hummed, stepping closer, your chest nearly brushing his. "You wrapped yourself up like a present," you murmured, fingers skimming the last ribbon—the one pretending to cover him, tied in a loose bow at his hip. "What did you think was gonna happen?"
Ni-ki’s throat bobbed. "This," he admitted, voice barely above a whisper.
Your fingers curled around the final ribbon.
"Happy anniversary," you whispered back—
And pulled.

The whiskey still burned in your chest when you woke up. You hated the feeling of alcohol within your system, but god does it soothe your tangled mess of a head.
Sunlight stabbed through the blinds, unforgiving. You groaned, rolling onto your side, half-expecting the bed to dip under someone else’s weight. But the sheets were cold. Empty.
Just like always.
The CD player had long since shut off, but the song still looped in your skull.
You pressed the heels of your palms into your eyes until colors burst behind your lids.
Pathetic.
Your phone buzzed on the nightstand. Leah’s name flashed across the screen, followed by a string of texts:
Leah: u alive?
Leah: also sarah says sorry abt last night. she didn’t know it was ‘that song’
Leah: …u gonna answer or am i sending mira over?
You typed back with one thumb.
You: i’m fine. don’t worry.
A lie. But what else was new?
The boxes in the corner taunted you. You’d only opened one last night, and already it felt like picking at a scab. The rest were a minefield of old playlists, ticket stubs, and the kind of photos that made your ribs ache.
You kicked the nearest one under the bed. Out of sight, out of mind.
The day was bright and bold. You set yourself up on your feet and got ready. Today is work day.
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ★⋆. ✦ . . ˚ . ✦ ˚ ˚ .˚
“Going to Floor 26.” The pristine elevator voice echoed around you as you got in it.
The studio was your sanctuary. Or at least, it was supposed to be.
Atlas Records had given you the space after your first album surprisingly went platinum immediately after it was released (only days before it went double.) It was a token, a ‘reward,’ they’d called it. As if the pristine soundboards, the premium tech setup and gears, and some Grade-A acoustic paneling could make up for the fact that they owned you.
You slumped into the chair, scrolling through the latest track list your producer had shoved at you: that and a mere bunch of memos from the people upstairs.
Upbeat. Radio-friendly. More of what’s working, just like last cycle.
You crumpled the stupid paper into a ball and threw it straight into the can.
"Rough night?" You almost flinched as you heard a booming voice behind you.
Mira, your manager, leaned against the doorframe, sipping a matcha latte with extra foam. Walking just enough meters beside you, she offered another cup with the same taste — your favorite.
"Something like that," you muttered, taking the cup and popping the lid off instantly. You smelled the fresh aroma, before sipping soundly.
She arched a brow. "Leah’s wedding, right? Tell me about it."
You strummed a dissonant chord on the nearby guitar. "Played ‘Wonderwall.’ The crowd loved it."
Mira didn’t laugh, sitting with her back against one of your designer chairs. "Liar liar, pants on fire."
You shrugged. "It’s in my contract. Must lie convincingly to press."
“Press!? We lived in the same roof for a year and that’s all I am to you?”
“Doesn’t matter, I’m famous.”
She groaned, taking it lightly. But then her eyes flicked to your hands—the way your fingers trembled ever so slightly against the strings.
"Who was it?" she asked, softer.
You didn’t answer. You could feel her eyes burning through your thick skull as if almost reading the contents of your brain.
She exhaled. "Take the day, hmm? Sleep it off. We can push the schedule to—"
"I’m fine." You grabbed the nearest lyric sheet, jaw tight. You sat across her in your leather chair, focusing on sorting out the busy contents of your workspace before speaking yet again. "Let’s just work. We’ve got three hours before we go, yeah?"
Mira studied you for a long moment before nodding. "Yeah.”
After taking a long winding breath, she slowly went to the door to take her leave.
“If you start crying into the microphone later, I’m charging you for ruined equipment." She retorted one last second.
“Blah blah, go do your manager things!” You smiled as you tried to throw a crumpled sheet to her.
“Alright, alright!” She shut the door gently, leaving you alone on your vices.
Right ... you were going to sing today. A lot.
When you least expected it, the skill you had fun as a hobby had already become a chore.
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ★⋆. ✦ . . ˚ . ✦ ˚ ˚ .˚
The neon sign outside flickered—YE OLD TAVERN—in all its peeling, ironic glory.
You hadn't set foot in this place since your university years. Back when sticky tables and cheap beer felt like an adventure, not exhaustion. Back when he was still beside you, laughing into his drink as you butchered a karaoke song.
Now, the bar was packed—word had spread about the "intimate, unplugged" tour Atlas had forced you into. Authenticity sells, they'd said. Fans eat this shit up.
You just wanted nothing but sleep.
"Five minutes," Mira muttered, nudging you toward the old stage—a vintage relic of this bar’s storied past, all with a single mic stand waiting.
The crowd was a blur of your fans; young adults like you, some adults that you remind of their youth, and a lot of younger people that definitely fit the criteria of modern fans, holding up LED signs and phone screens. You adjusted the guitar strap digging into your shoulder and forced a smile.
Your signature voice flowed through the space like a gentle autumn breeze, carrying warmth and nostalgia with every note. The raw emotion in your delivery resonated deeply with your supporters, who hung on every word and inflection.
You can definitely see it in their eyes. They were enamored by you.
Your voice filled the room with a simple kind of magic. The crowd melted into the music as you sang, each word honest and raw. This wasn't just another show - it was real, and everyone could feel it.
Then you saw him.
Blond hair, roughly swept back to the side like he'd run a hand through it one too many times. Broad shoulders under a fitted black shirt. That face—sharp, unfairly handsome, watching you with an intensity that made your fingers twitch against the strings.
Jay.
Right there. On the side of the bar area, sat on a comfy wooden stool.
Your breath caught. And his too.
He hadn't meant to come.
But then he'd seen the posters outside the tavern—your name in bold letters—and suddenly he was nineteen again, sneaking in with his new ID just to see you play again and not miss his shot.
Now, he‘s frozen as he sees you perform so whole heartedly under the might of a single incandescent light.
You looked beautiful. Real.
Not the polished version from magazines or Leah's wedding—where you'd stiffened the second Sarah requested that song. Where your voice had cracked on the chorus, raw in a way no studio could autotune.
Where he’s just able to see you again.
And now here you were, strumming the opening chords of something new—voice low, rougher than he remembered. The crowd swayed, but Jay didn't move.
Couldn't.
Not when you glanced up mid-verse, gaze snagging on his like a caught breath.
˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ★⋆. ✦ . . ˚ . ✦ ˚ ˚ .˚
You finished the set in a daze.
No one noticed the way your hands shook. No one except him.
Backstage—if you could call a storage room with a large old leather loveseat a ‘backstage’—Mira shoved a bottle of branded distilled water into your hands. "Good crowd. Atlas'll be happy."
You didn't answer.
Mira sighed, looking at you with that same concern yet again. She knows your situation, and she feels bad being so helpless and useless to ease your pain the way you want.
She taps your shoulder and presents a light grin back at you. "Van’s out back. Avoid the fans, yeah?"
You nodded, seeing her leave the room shortly.
Until when can you stomach this feeling? This sensation? Being trapped in world you dreamed of was never in your plans, yet here you are, sitting inside your gilded cage.
As you took a deep breath, you fixed your hair and showered yourself in your favorite perfume yet again. You took a faithful step and approached the exit.
When your senses met the stench of New York’s streets opposite the alley door, Jay was already there. Leaning against the brick wall, arms crossed, like he'd been waiting for years.
"Hey," he said.
The streetlight caught the gold in his hair. God, he looked good.
"Hi." Your voice came out hoarse. You walked slowly, approaching him with some needy caution. Just for yourself.
A beat of silence passed. Then Jay pushed off the wall, stepping closer. "You killed it in there."
You scoffed. "It was a dive bar, Jay."
"Yeah. Our dive bar."
The words hung between you. Quiet, and more of that still silence.
“The dim lights suit your features.”
You shot up a glance towards Jay, hearing him say such a ridiculous thing in the middle of your self-inflicted turmoil.
You could say the same for him.
Right then, you forced yourself to look away. "Shouldn't you be with … Naomi, right?"
Jay's jaw tightened, his hands flexing against his sharp jaw. "I … wanted to see you."
Why?
You didn't ask. Couldn't possibly.
Instead, you watched as he pulled something from his pocket—a crisp white card.
PARK JONGSEONG, with some unreadable fine print at the side you couldn’t see much under the street lights. His name is embossed in sleek black and accents of regal purple.
"If you ever want to grab matcha," he said, holding it out. "No pressure."
You stared at it. Four years ago, you'd have taken it without hesitation.
Now?
"Jay," you said softly, "what about … her?"
As he opened his mouth—
Ring.
His phone lit up. As your curious eyes darted over, the name span the screen. Naomi.
Jay cursed under his breath, still not answering as he held out for your advise.
"I should—"
"Yeah." You stepped back. "I don’t mind."
He hesitated, card still extended. "Just please... think about it."
Nervous as you can be, you took the card in hesitation.
“A card, huh?” You flipped the sheet of stiff paper on your fingertips.
“Yeah.” Jay perked up his one-sided smile, genuinely happy at the gesture. You couldn’t help but smile back — it was contagious when you see Jay act that way.
“Park Jongseong … got your whole government name here too, hehe.” Jay couldn’t help but chuckle a little at that comment, and neither could you.
Then he was gone—turning by the corner—swallowed by the city lights.
You stood there, fingers clenched around his card, until Mira honked the car horn.
“Drive or bust, superstar!”
Lost in thought, his voice played like a broken record in your head.
Think about it.
As if you could do anything else.
