Irel slowly closed the script
Silence filled the room
He looked at the members
Yuri sat with tissues pressed to his eyes, shoulders shaking
"They didn't even get to love each other… It's really tragic."
Aerith
"Damn. I don't even have words to curse you."
"I agree with Aerith," Lytheil muttered
Aerel and Izan remained quiet, but pain lingered in their eyes
Ash eyes were looking down the entire time
Aeris felt a strange tightness in his chest
Irel raised both hands dramatically
"Okay, okay. I'm guilty."
Then he smiled
"The story is over. Now we just need to film the last love scenes… and our movie will be complete."
Yuri and Aerith instantly hugged each other and jumped
Izan and Aerel exchanged quiet smiles
Ash, Aeris, and Lytheil and irel watched the group softly
The Next Day
"The film has been sent to the directors," Irel said.
"If they see its potential, they'll select it. And if they do… it might even release in theatres."
Days passed in restless waiting
Then—
Irel's phone rang
Unknown number
he answered it
"Hello?"
The other side of the phone
"This is regarding your submission. I'm happy to inform you that your film has been selected."
Everything went silent in his ears
The other person continued
"Please come to the theatre near the museum tonight at 9 PM. It will have its first release there."
Irel slowly sank to his knees, clutching his chest as emotions overwhelmed him
He immediately texted everyone:
Come to our place,Now
They arrived quickly
Irel chuckled beautifully
Everyone stood there stunned
Irel spoke
"Our film got selected,"
"It's releasing tonight. 9 PM. Theatre near the museum."
They froze
Then laughter burst out
Except Lytheil
"Irel… where's the new guy? Yuri's pair?"
"Yeah," Izan added. "He was beautiful."
Ash nodded. "He never spoke anything .… "
"His acting felt lived," Aerith said quietly. "Like he's suffered before."
Yuri :
"I never saw him ....
Aeris and Irel stared each other
"I'll inform him," Irel said
At the Theatre
They arrived
Yuri's eyes searched aeris
"Where's Aeris?" Irel asked
"He didn't say anything…" Yuri replied softly
Irel pov
What happened, Aeris?
"What about the new guy?" Lytheil asked
"He said something came up," Irel answered
The lights went out
The film began
Meanwhile — In a Dark Alley
Cold wind moved through the narrow alley
Aeris stood alone
Around him — nearly fifty men
Cracked knuckles. Chains. Iron rods
One stepped forward
"You thought you could walk away?"
Aeris exhaled slowly
"Not now… I have somewhere to be."
They rushed him
The first man swung — Aeris ducked and drove his fist into the man's ribs. A crack echoed
Another lunged. Aeris twisted, grabbed his arm, flipped him over his shoulder
Three more came at once
A punch. A kick. An elbow to the jaw
But numbers began to overwhelm him
A chain wrapped around his arm. He yanked it free and struck back
A rod swung toward his side — he blocked it, pain shooting up his arm
Then—
From behind—
A heavy iron rod slammed into the back of his head
The world exploded into white
He staggered
Warm blood trickled down his neck
But he didn't fall
He turned, eyes darkened with fury
One by one, he forced them down
Breathing ragged
Vision blurring
In the chaos, his notebook slipped from his jacket and hit the ground, pages scattering
He didn't notice
When the last man fell, Aeris swayed
He pressed a hand to the back of his head
Blood
"Yuri…" he whispered
"I need to go to Yuri…"
And he walked away
Inside the Theatre
The second love story began.
A holy figure and a gangster.
Then—
a figure appeared on screen
Misty light-blue hair shimmered under soft lighting
Light Lavender eyes
A delicate mole beneath the centre of his lower lip
Yuri's breath stopped
His chest tightened painfully
"You…" he whispered
"The one I've searched for… my entire life…"
Tears streamed down
Irel watched him
His fists clenched
Irel pov
I don't know anything about them but that's enough
"Yuri."
Yuri turned
"It's Aeris," Irel said quietly
"He's been hiding his identity. I'm the only one who knew."
The words landed heavily
Everyone froze
Ash and Aerith panicked
"Yuri, what happened?"
Yuri smiled through tears
" remember I told you… I was searching for someone."
His voice trembled
"It's him. I always felt it. In his eyes. In the way he looked at me. Even after all these years… I never forgot."
"The only thing I never knew…"
"…was his name."
Lytheil asked softly,
"Who was he to you?"
Yuri looked at the screen
Where aeris was chuckling
"He is my everything."
And then—
He moved
Before anyone could stop him, Yuri rushed toward the exit
The theatre doors burst open as he ran into the night
He ran down the street, heart pounding violently in his chest
"Aeris!" he shouted
People turned to look. He didn't care
He kept running
Yuri's POV
I want to see you aeris
After all this years I finally got you
"I will not lose you again"
Yuri's eyes blurred
Aeris… please
His breathing became uneven, but he didn't slow down
Fear gripped him — a fear he couldn't explain
Outside
Not far away—.....
Aeris' steps grew unsteady
Streetlights blurred into streaks of white
His ears rang faintly
Blood trailed down the back of his neck, soaking into his collar
He pressed a hand against the wound, but his fingers were slick and trembling
"Yuri…" he whispered weakly
The world tilted
His knees buckled
He tried to take another step—
But his strength finally gave out
He collapsed onto the cold pavement
Unconscious
Blood slowly spread beneath him, dark against the empty street
