Chapter 1: The Starving Artist

Yura sat in his dimly lit apartment, staring at the half-finished painting before him. Another rejection letter lay crumpled on the floor.

He was used to failure by now. But tonight, it felt different.

Outside, the city pulsed with life—parties, neon lights, the sound of people moving forward. But inside his tiny room, time stood still.

Then, a knock.

Yura opened the door to find Kaiz—a man with an easy smile and sharp eyes.

> “You look like you need a drink,” Kaiz said, stepping inside uninvited.

That night, they talked for hours. And for the first time in a long while, Yura felt something he had forgotten—what it meant to have someone care.

Chapter 2: Areena & The Cookies

Kaiz introduced Yura to Areena—a woman with a voice like an old melody and a talent for baking.

Whenever Yura felt lost, she’d place a plate of cookies in front of him.

> "Eat. Then decide if life is still as bitter as you think."

Kaiz and Areena became more than just friends. They became his family, his strength, and his reason to keep going.

They didn’t just support his dreams. They pushed him when he wanted to give up.

They gave him solutions to every problem he faced.

Chapter 3: The Breakthrough

With their help, Yura got his first big opportunity—a showcase in an underground gallery.

Kaiz spread the word, bringing in people who mattered.

Areena kept him sane, baking cookies to calm his nerves.

When the crowd loved his art, it wasn’t just his victory.

It was theirs.

Chapter 4: The Agency’s Trap

A powerful art agency offered him a contract. They promised him money, status, everything.

At first, it was perfect. Then the nightmare began.

They controlled his art, his life, his name.

They planted scandals, ruining his reputation.

They took everything.

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtK2FfnzUc

Yura felt like he was drowning.

But Kaiz and Areena wouldn’t let him sink.

Kaiz exposed their corruption.

Areena leaked the truth to the public.

The agency fell apart. Yura was free.

And now, he believed—

> Kaiz and Areena weren’t just friends.

They were everything.

Chapter 5: The Missing Pieces

But strange things started happening.

Kaiz and Areena never appeared in photos.

People looked confused whenever Yura mentioned them.

He found an old letter from Kaiz, but the handwriting was his own.

The world around him felt... off.

Chapter 6: The Award Night

Yura won Best Artist of the Year.

On stage, he raised his trophy.

> “This belongs to Kaiz and Areena.”

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeca6OxJJA

The crowd stared in silence.

No one knew who he was talking about.

> “Kaiz? Areena?”

“Who are you talking about?”

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbApOoMLxT

Panic crept in.

He looked at the front row—

But they weren’t there.

Chapter 7: The Chain & The Truth

That night, Yura sat alone.

On the table, he placed two cookies—one for Kaiz, one for Areena.

They didn’t take them.

Because they weren’t there.

He gripped his silver chain—the one they gave him. The cookie-shaped pendant glinted in the dim light.

Then—a knock on the door.

A young shopkeeper stood outside.

> “Sir, I’ve been looking for you. You still need to pay for the chain you bought.”

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYSANbfMzV

Yura frowned. “What chain?”

The boy looked confused. “The one with the cookies on it. You bought it from my shop a while ago.”

Yura’s breath caught.

> "I... I bought this?"

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHW4UvgZzZ

> "Yes, sir. You picked it yourself."

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8tge31HI7

His hands trembled as he looked at the chain.

Kaiz and Areena never existed.

They were just creations of his own mind.

That’s when Yura realized...

> "If they were just my imagination...

Then the solutions they gave me were also mine.

That means... I knew everything all along."

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA19yJfp3bL

But this truth felt heavier than the lies he lived with.

> "If my mind knows everything... why couldn't it stop me from suffering?

Chapter 8: The Final Choice

Yura stood on the balcony, staring at the empty city below.

> “I created them. I created everything... except my own peace.”

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKRwqQWZQG

His grip on the cookie chain tightened.

Then—he let go.

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgZhomJh2R

And fell.

Chapter 9: The Podcast "My Friend"

A month later, a podcast episode titled "My Friend" was released.

It told the story of Yura, an artist who created his own protectors—only to lose himself in the illusion.

The world called him "crazy."

But the truth was...

> "He wasn't crazy. He was just too deep to be understood."

Meanwhile, a famous director announced a movie based on his life:

The final scene?

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmitNWqE27o

An empty kitchen.

Two untouched cookies.

And a silver chain lying beside them.

325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vrVnjgklD
