A Beautiful Love That Was Never Allowed

Chapter1: End

Anh and Em are both rising stars in the entertainment industry.

Em—**Lê Quang Hùng**—is a newly famous idol. Humble, soft-spoken, and admired for his elegant, refined appearance, he quickly wins people's hearts wherever he goes.

In contrast, Anh—**Đăng Dương**—is someone who desperately longs for fame, even if it means bringing others down. Though proud and somewhat arrogant, he still enjoys immense popularity and has countless devoted fans.

They are always seen side by side—sharing the same stage, performing in the same shows, attending the same events, even livestreaming from the same room. They are constantly together, shoulder to shoulder.

Yet everyone in showbiz knows one unspoken rule:

**Dating is forbidden.**

Their closeness inevitably sparked endless rumors.

*"What exactly are they? Colleagues... or lovers?"*

No one knew the truth except the two of them.

One day, both of them received the same warning from their manager:

> "If you two keep acting so close in public, you'd better prepare yourselves to be fired."

From that day on, they forced themselves to keep their distance. Even exchanging a simple glance became something they had to be careful about. Their fans who had once passionately supported them as a couple gradually became disappointed as the two drifted apart, and many quietly gave up.

One evening, they sat together inside the tiny apartment they had shared for so long.

After a long silence, Anh finally spoke, his voice filled with guilt.

"Hùng... I'm sorry... but I don't have any other choice."

He hesitated for a long moment before finally saying the words he had been avoiding.

"...Let's break up."

Em said nothing.

He simply nodded.

There were no accusations.

No tears.

Not even a single "Why?"

Their relationship ended peacefully...

Yet it hurt more than words could ever describe.
