Dayo ended the stream, posted the video, dropped his phone on the table, and finally rested.

He hadn't slept properly since the previous night, and after everything that happened with Luna, all the emotions, the training, the birthday event… his entire body felt heavy.

So he slept.

And while he slept, the whole internet exploded beyond anything he had ever experienced.

---

The reason for the chaos was simple:

The video he posted.

The moment that clip hit the internet, people couldn't believe their ears.

It had been more than four years since Dayo released any music.

And even when he returned to the public eye, it wasn't as an artist…

It was as an athlete.

So this felt unreal.

People were happy, surprised, confused, emotional, shocked—all at once.

There was also the dating angle.

Dayo wasn't just handsome—he was stunning.

Tall, bold, dark-skinned, effortlessly attractive.

His pictures always trended even when he wasn't trying.

So naturally, women had always been curious about his love life.

Blogs and fanpages constantly speculated about the kind of woman he would end up with.

And the way he sang "Something to Remember"…

The emotion, the softness in his tone, the way his voice cracked slightly…

There was no doubt:

He sang it for someone.

And that alone lit the internet on fire.

Within one hour, the video hit 10 million views.

Comments poured in like a flood:

---

"JD IS FUCKING BACK."

"JD WHO IS SHE??"

"YESSS JD WHO IS SHE???"

"OMG DAYO IS IN LOVE??"

"Bro is breaking hearts without even knowing."

"I swear my sister is obsessed with JD. She's crying right now."

"Dayo why do you do this to us?? 😭😭"

"MY HEART IS BROKEN."

"JD the player strikes again."

"Why is nobody talking about the SONG? It's beautiful."

"Give Dayo a break abeg."

"I LOVE THE SONG SO MUCH OMG."

"The part that killed me was 'I moved out but I never moved on.'"

"That line cut DEEP."

"I just had a breakup. This song is too real."

"Whoever Dayo sang about, PLEASE go back to him 😭."

"Okay who knows the mysterious girl???"

"Yes! That's her name now—Mysterious Girl."

"TREND: FIND MYSTERIOUS GIRL."

"Find mysterious girl!"

"Find mysterious girl!"

"Find mysterious girl!"

"Dayo just release the full song, please."

"Me too!"

"Me three!"

"Mysterious girl here we come."

***

The internet wasn't just reacting; it was moving as one giant crowd.

A full-blown frenzy.

Everyone wanted to know:

Who broke JD's heart?

And why did he still sound like he hadn't healed?

Girls on TikTok started claiming they were the "mysterious girl."

Fan pages were arguing.

People were comparing old pictures, analyzing old interviews, creating theories.

Someone made an edit of the song with a slightly faster tempo, and a new trend began:

People stood outside their ex's apartments, recording a short clip while the line:

"I moved out… but I never moved on…"

played in the background.

The trend exploded immediately.

Millions of videos.

Millions of duets.

Millions of stitches.

Dayo's video was everywhere—Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, fan accounts, reaction channels.

The world was eating it up.

---

Meanwhile, Dayo was still knocked out on his bed, unaware of the storm outside.

He finally woke up around 1:00 p.m.

The first thing he did was stretch.

The second thing he did was rub his face.

And the third thing he did was check his phone.

A huge mistake.

The phone vibrated nonstop the moment he pressed the power button.

Messages.

Calls.

Emails.

Mentions.

Tags.

Notifications.

His entire screen was blue with alerts.

He blinked.

Then frowned.

"What the hell…?"

He scrolled.

Sharon:

"BOSS WAKE UP!! 😭😭😭 WHERE ARE YOU?"

"I've been calling since morning!!"

"Your video blew up!!!"

"My phone is even hanging because of you!"

Wayne:

"Congrats bro but CALL ME ASAP."

Valerie:

"WHAT DID YOU DO???"

Ulrich:

"Pick up your damn phone."

Even Min-Jae sent:

"Dayo call me. Something is happening."

Dayo dropped the phone on his chest and stared at the ceiling.

"…This is insane."

He sat up, exhaled, and called Sharon.

She picked on the first ring.

"BOSS!" she almost screamed.

"I just woke up," Dayo said calmly.

"Just woke up?? Do you know you're trending NUMBER ONE in fifteen countries? JD Nation is going insane! People are crying! They are looking for a mysterious girl! Even brands are posting your video!"

"Okay… okay…" Dayo rubbed his eyes. "Relax."

"I can't relax! Your video has almost thirty million views already!"

Dayo paused.

"Thirty what?"

"THIRTY. And rising. Boss, you need to see comments—"

"No need. I already know what they're asking about."

Sharon sighed loudly. "Yeah… they want to know who she is."

Dayo didn't answer.

He just inhaled deeply.

"…Call Wayne for me," he finally said.

"What do you want him to do?"

"Tell him to meet me in the living room in thirty minutes. I want to record the full version of the song."

Sharon gasped. "You're releasing it??"

"Not today," Dayo said. "Tomorrow. But I want to finish it now."

"Okay—okay!! I'll call him right away."

Dayo ended the call, showered quickly, changed clothes, and headed to the studio.

***

When he walked in, everyone stared.

Then they started teasing.

"JD!! Lover boy!!"

"Bro who is she?"

"Your voice sounded like heartbreak!"

"Omo record that song abeg!"

"JD carry us go where we no know!"

Dayo just smiled and walked past all of them.

When he looked up, his eyes met Alice's.

Just one glance.

A quiet, familiar tension.

They weren't dating.

But they weren't "nothing" either.

It was a complicated, messy, undefined thing they both chose not to label.

Alice smiled faintly, then walked past him.

As she passed him, she brushed her fingers across his hand lightly.

"You're a naughty boy," she whispered.

No one heard it but him.

Dayo felt a tiny stab of guilt.

He pushed it away.

He entered the studio with Wayne.

Wayne folded his arms.

"You're not sleeping until this is recorded."

"That's the plan," Dayo said.

They worked.

Dayo played the guitar.

Wayne added soft piano chords.

Percussion layered softly at the back.

They fixed the bridge.

Replaced a weaker verse.

Cleaned the harmony.

By the time they finished, the room was silent.

Wayne leaned back. "It's perfect."

Dayo nodded slowly. "Schedule it for tomorrow. Noon."

"You got it."

The song was exported, uploaded to the distribution dashboard, and queued for global release.

***

Dayo left the studio quietly.

His mind was full—Luna, the song, the emotions, the chaos online.

But his chest felt lighter.

Tomorrow, the world would get the full version.

And whatever happened after that…

He would face it.
