A story about former boy-band teammates.
Not very long, around a hundred thousand words, focused purely on romance.
*
Two years after giving up his idol career and leaving a boy band that was barely staying afloat in pursuit of better prospects as an individual, Ji Ying has finally made some headway as an actor, becoming a rising film star people tease as a "young Best Actor."
The obscure group he left behind had gone nowhere for years, mocked for being unable even to leech off their senior groups. But over the past two years, they had one breakout after another and risen to become the top boy band. At the year-end awards, his former teammates were seated beside center stage.
Backstage, Ji Ying "ran into" Cheng Qianzhi again, his former captain, who had haunted him throughout the two years he'd been on the run, and whom he both loved and hated.
Cheng Qianzhi looked at him and smiled.
"Xiao Ying, look," he said, holding the trophy he'd just won. "If we'd only waited a little longer, we could have stood here together."
