Tired Juho came home after a long day at work. He submitted the final edit of his song to the producer of the movie. From the past few days, he's been really busy working on this one song. The song was very special for him.
Changing into fresh set of clothes after his bath, he went in his workplace. He had a small studio setup in his house. Plugging in his headsets, he sat on his chair listening to his song. The song was named 'Always You.'
His eyes closed, enjoying the soothing tune, memories of her flashing through his mind. The song was his creation for her, his expression of love. She was his inspiration for the song. He remembered all the sleepless nights he spent missing her. Those nights he couldn't talk to her; he poured out all his feelings into this song. He knew he could never love anyone else after this so he named it 'Always You'. For him the word love would always mean Kamou and no matter what happens, even if she rejects him, it will always be her.
When he heard she got her first project as the lead actress, he contacted the director on his own. Not caring about his reputation, he asked for work. He was ready to go to any extent to make the song a part of the movie. It was his confession of love, not only to her but to the whole world.
The song would release when the cast was back to Seoul. The song was a part of his much-awaited surprise. He planned on taking her out on a date, the night of the song release. He already booked a private room for the both of them. Though she won't be back for the next twenty days, he still started preparing for her return.
Juho took out his phone. It was late and he didn't want to disturb her so he opened his KakaoStory App. They both followed each other on the App and it was a private account which not many people knew about. Only selected people were added which included close friends and family. He opened her page to see new uploads from today.
Her new post was a photo with Taehee. It was from a beach and water could be seen in the background. They both stood kind of close to each other. Taehee's hand was on her shoulder and she wrapped her hand around his waist. Both smiling merrily for the camera.
There wasn't anything wrong with the picture but immense pain emerged from Juho's heart. It was his best friend and the woman he loved. He knew how Kamou felt for Taehee and seeing them together made his uncomfortable. Just then a thought crossed his mind.
'They look happy together. Am I the one coming in between them?'
A tear rolled out of his eyes.
'Could I be that unlucky that my best friend also loves the girl that I love? The only one girl I wanted this whole time? I hope this is just my imagination. It's not true. I know Taehee. I trust Kamou, she promised me she would wait.'
He consoled himself.

The next day Kamou woke up due to the loud banging on her door. She got up from her bed and opened the door. It was her manager Miss Min.
"Have you seen the news?" She asked with slight urgency.
Confused, Kamou replied with a 'no'.
Miss Min took out her phone and showed her. A clip from their last shoot on the beach was leaked. In the clip Taehee could be seen consoling her. It was a two-minute-long video and Taehee and Kamou could be seen hugging for most of the part.
Dating rumors were making appearance on all major entertainment news portals. Social media was set on fire, with fans posting the video and pictures of the two. There was a huge chunk of netizens who shipped the two and they were spreading these dating rumors.
Kamou was comparatively calm after looking at these absurd posts. It wasn't something new for her. Celebrities become habituated to these minor inconveniences with time.
"Sister Min, please handle this mess." She spoke.
"I will ask the agency to release a statement as soon as possible." Manager replied walking out of the room.
