You're My Joy

The Internet is shocked when Peyton Grant, an award-winning actor takes his life. His final tweet before his death is short and simple. "I like you so, so much, Ri. But you're too bright—you burn me whenever I get close to you."

Everyone knows Rita York's character in her new show is called Rina.

That's when I learn that the person I've had a crush on for a decade has someone that he loves but can't have.

When I wake up one day, I find that I've traveled back three years in time.

This time, I'm going to help Peyton make his wish come true.

"Riley, you've been asked to join the filming for 'You're My Joy'!" my manager, Monica Jones, cried.

Her words pulled me out of my confusion and sorrow. I hurriedly checked the trending topics to see that everything was peaceful on the Internet. There weren't any hurtful words.

It looked like… I'd been reborn. I'd traveled three years back in time, and Peyton Grant was still alive.

My nose prickled at that thought, and my tears started flowing. I'd spent ten years of my youth pining after him, but he would probably never know that he'd once had a wallflower deskmate who'd crushed on him. Back then, my heart would race if he were to say even one thing to me.

I knew that he would take his life for someone in three years, but I never would've expected him to have such a lowly side.

I thought about the love letter Peyton had written to Rita York, which she'd disclosed after his death in my past life. It had been written in such a cautious tone that my heart had ached after reading it.

"Wait, are you crying? Are you that excited? I told you you would make it big one day, right? Here's your chance!" Monica teased. She was the only one who knew how hard I'd worked over the years and couldn't help feeling relieved that things were finally looking up for me.

In my past life, I'd turned down the opportunity to be on You're My Joy, a romance reality show, due to various reasons. Meanwhile, Peyton had dropped out of the show after only one episode, but no one knew why. Later, some people said it was because Rita had to leave filming halfway due to schedule clashes.

It looked like the answers to my questions had long since been revealed.

I took a deep breath at the thought of that. "Let's get ready, Monica. I'm going on that show!"

This time, I would help Peyton make his dream come true!

…

That night, the production crew of You're My Joy officially announced the cast. Peyton retweeted the announcement and wrote, "You're my joy."

Rita quickly did the same. She retweeted his tweet and wrote, "I'm coming to you with a heart full of joy."

One of the dramas they'd filmed together was currently being aired, and it was a hit.
