"Are you a family member brought by someone?" The senior actor asked me kindly, probably because he saw me crying so sadly, he spoke to me in a very soft voice. "I don't think I've ever seen you before."
A family member?
I clenched the object in my hand, my nails digging into my soft palm.
I subconsciously looked at Eli, who was not far away. He had already received his award and stepped down.
The organizer arranged for him to sit next to Mya.
The two of them were whispering intimately.
Tomorrow, a few pictures will top the hot search. I'm used to this.
But I never thought that he would publicly acknowledge Mya as his girlfriend for the sake of popularity.
Even when I was present.
Has it been too long? Long enough to change a person.
I closed my eyes, not wanting to look any longer.
Many years ago, I promised Eli that I would accompany him until the day he won the Movie King.
But now I realize that we can only make it to this day.
I never thought that today, which we had fantasized about countless times, would turn out like this.
On my 25th birthday, Eli asked me what wish I had made.
I asked him to guess.
As it turns out, he guessed it right away.
I wished for his dreams to come true, to become the Movie King before he turned 30, to have a place in the show biz.
He insisted that on this day, all his fans should wish us well.
Now, my wish has come true. But he broke his promise.
The blessings weren't for me, but for him and someone else.
How ironic.
I looked up at the ceiling, tears the size of beans falling one by one.
I tried hard to compose myself.
But when I hold back my tears, my whole body feels uncomfortable.
"I'm not a family member, not anyone's family member."
My eyes were red, my voice was as soft as a mosquito's.
At this time, I should have been able to proudly tell this senior.
Look, the man receiving the award is my boyfriend.
But I looked so disheveled, so embarrassing.
He didn't keep his promise to go public with me, and I didn't get the chance to say it either.
I opened my phone and looked at the trending topics that had exploded.
Eight of them were about Eli and Mya.
I silently scrolled through the comments of the fans shipping them.
[They match so well.]
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
[I knew it, all those hints weren't for nothing.]
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, who understands the feeling of him going public with her on the day he wins the Movie King?]
