After three years, Lily traveled to South Korea, where she had been living and working as a successful interior designer on a contract basis. One evening, her colleagues convinced her to join them for a concert, withholding the details until they arrived at the venue. Confused but intrigued, Lily found herself at a concert for "Eclipses," the boyband that had unexpectedly entered her life years ago.
As the performance began, Lily's initial apprehension melted away, replaced by a sense of joy and excitement. Forgiven and determined to embrace the present, she allowed herself to immerse in the music and atmosphere.
From the stage, Nate, Ben, and Luke caught sight of Lily in the crowd, their surprise evident on their faces. Ben turned to his bandmates, remarking, "I never thought she'd come back after what happened." Luke nodded in agreement, adding, "It's impressive how she's moved on."
The trio waved to their fans, their hearts filled with admiration for Lily's resilience and strength. And as the music filled the air, Lily couldn't help but feel a sense of connection, realizing that sometimes, the most unexpected journeys lead to the most beautiful destinations.
As everyone enjoying the concert Lily made her way out of the concert hall, her stomach twisted with pain, and she hurriedly sought out her junior girl, Sarah, and whispered, "I need to go home. Something's wrong."
Concern etched across her face, Sarah asked, "What's happened? Are you okay?"Lily nodded weakly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll be fine. Just not feeling well. You stay and enjoy the concert."
Suddenly, someone tap on her shoulder made Lily turn around, and she saw Ben standing there, with Nate beside him. Ben inquired, "When did you arrive?"Lily managed a faint smile. "About a week ago. It's good to see you again." Yeah..said with his cute smile.
Before she could say anything else, the same guy from earlier pushed her towards Nate, but this time Ben was quick to react. He signalled to his bodyguard, and within moments, the culprit was apprehended by the police. As the commotion settled, Lily found herself unable to stay any longer. She slipped away unnoticed, leaving Nate and Ben searching for her in vain.
Later, Ben turned to Sarah, Lily's junior, and asked, "Where is she?"Sarah shook her head sadly. "She left. She wasn't feeling well."Understanding washed over Ben's face. "Oh... Okay. Enjoy the concert," he said, before making his way back to the stage.
After the concert ended, the idols made their way out of the stadium. As they passed by a departmental store, Ben's keen eyes caught sight of Lily standing there, her face drained of color and clutching something tightly in her hand. Concerned, he instructed his driver to stop, but before they could reach her, a taxi pulled up in front of Lily, and she quickly got in, giving the driver an address.
Luke's suspicions were immediately aroused, so Ben and Luke decided to follow the taxi from a distance of ten feet. The journey seemed normal at first, but as they ventured further, they realized they were heading into a desolate area, with deserted streets casting eerie shadows in the night.
It was then that Nate, who had just regained his senses, realized Lily was in that taxi. Frantically, he attempted to contact the police, but at the same moment, a car pulled into a garage nearby. The driver stepped out and opened the back door, revealing Lily, who was fast asleep from exhaustion and pain.
As the driver reached out to touch her, she jolted awake, panic etched across her face. In a split second, the situation escalated as the driver brandished a knife, poised to strike. Lily instinctively leaped back, narrowly avoiding a slash that left a jagged line across her stomach.
With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Nate sprang into action, grabbing hold of the assailant's hand and preventing further harm. But the trauma proved too much for Lily, and she succumbed to unconsciousness once more, her fate hanging precariously in the balance.
As Nate held Lily in his arms, fear gripped him, recalling the terrifying incident that had unfolded during his concert. He gently patted her cheeks, urging her to wake up, but she remained unconscious until they reached the hospital. After the surgery, the doctor emerged with reassuring news, stating that Lily was out of danger. However, she murmured something in her sleep, repeating the word "nea."
Luke, puzzled by this, questioned its meaning, but Ben suggested it might be an endearing term for Nate. Nate, taken aback by the suggestion, dismissed it, refusing to entertain the thought. Yet, the word lingered in his mind, stirring up a mix of emotions.
The doctor returned, asking if they were acquainted with Lily. Cole confirmed their friendship, prompting the doctor to reveal that Lily had been prescribed medication for depression and insomnia. Shock washed over the group as they absorbed this information. Ben, seeking confirmation, inspected Lily's handbag and discovered the tablets, along with her mobile phone, which was filled with photos of Nate and his team. Nate took the tablets and handed them to the doctor, then turned his attention to Lily's phone, scrolling through the images. Amidst the sea of pictures, he found one that captured a moment from seven years ago, a snapshot of him and Lily together. A bittersweet smile tugged at his lips as he reminisced about that time, realizing the depth of their connection.
