It has been a few years and a lot has happened.
A lot has changed as well.
But the one thing that is still consistent is Vivi being at your side. After Loossemble disbanded, all members went back to their own lives, including Vivi. She is no longer on stage, no longer under the spotlight. It was great…for a couple months when you get to have more alone time with her. But as time goes on, you can see a glint of sadness in her eyes from time to time.
One day, the inevitable became reality.
The one thing that you had to face eventually.
Vivi is going back to Hong Kong.
Maybe it’s a good thing, you thought. Maybe it’s time for her to reconnect with her loved ones, her friends and figure out what’s next. You want to go with her, naturally. But sadly, contractual obligations are a thing.
“It’s okay honey, I know you have work to do. Besides, LATENCY has been gaining some traction.” Said Vivi.
You remember that Hyunjin hired you as her manager for her new company.
It was great at first, having a way to stay in Korea, having a way to stay by Vivi’s side. But now it has become a double-edged sword, separating you from your partner.
-Two days later-
Incheon Airport is cold. It gets even colder when you let go of her hands and her smile slowly faded away into the crowded boarding gates. All LOONA members are firing away safe travel messages in their group chat. You are still in the group, but you rarely participate in their conversations since they split off into their own groups and careers, so you are more like an honorary member at this point.
While you are still trying to accept reality, a familiar name appeared on your phone screen.
Aeong.
