Summary
A Kourtlyn one-shot.
This is how Kourtney saw it: in the world of romcoms you had your protagonists and you had your antagonists. Kourtney was neither of those. She had the role of supportive best friend/third wheel that would be panned over to for a second before the main couple rode off into the sunset while Kourtney just…watched.
When a string of anonymous Valentine serenades begin to pan out on the week of Valentine's Day, maybe Kourtney will finally get the chance to be the protagonist of her own romcom.
She just hopes it's one particular person behind these romantic gestures.
