Three Years Ago – Busan
Rain poured. A girl stood at a train station, soaked to the skin. In her hand: a single red rose.
A boy approached, hoodie up, a silver chain dangling from his fingers.
"You'll regret leaving," he said.
She didn't answer.
"Say something," he growled.
Her voice was soft. "You scare me."
Silence.
Then, with a cruel smile, he placed the necklace in her palm.
"You'll remember me, Abby. No matter where you go."
Present Day – Dorm Rooftop
Abby clutched the same necklace, breath ragged. Taehyung stood in front of her, confused.
"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
She shook her head. "I think one followed me here."
He stepped forward, gentle. "Tell me what's going on."
But before she could answer, the door slammed open.
Felix.
His eyes were dark. Not with anger.
But with hurt.
"You kissed him," he said. "And you still think I should chase you?"
"Felix—"
"I fought for you," he snapped. "Yeonjun did too. Even Jungkook. And you're still haunted by someone who doesn't even deserve your memories."
Silence hung heavy.
Until Abby finally whispered: "He's not just a memory anymore."
Elsewhere…
Yeonjun paced the practice room. Jungkook sat silently, scrolling through social media chaos.
"You think she's okay?" Yeonjun asked.
Jungkook didn't respond.
Instead, he turned the screen toward Yeonjun.
A blurry photo.
Abby and Taehyung.
Locked in a kiss.
The comments? Brutal.
"She's using them all."
"Attention seeker."
"Poor Taehyung... he's too pure."
Yeonjun's jaw tightened. "This will destroy her."
The Real Bomb Drops
A letter arrives at the studio.
No return name.
No stamp.
Just one line scrawled in ink:
"Ask Abby about her real name.Ask her why she left Busan in the middle of the night."
Attached: a grainy photo.
Of Abby.
Kneeling.
Crying.
In front of someone lying on the ground.
Blood on her hands.
Backstage Cliffhanger
Producer Naeun storms into the dorm.
Her face pale.
She holds the letter.
"All cameras off," she says. "Abby—we need to talk."
Abby's heart stops.
Because the past she buried?
Is about to explode.
