The stage lights carve the four of them from the darkness: Jennie, Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo. They stand in the afterglow of another performance, a unit perfected by years of struggle. Then the light finds you, you, the fifth shadow. The air backstage curdles. Whispers of favoritism hang like a fog. You are the boy in the girl group, the unwelcome addition, met with a wall of icy silence and pointed barbs. You've endured it all, clinging to a thread of hope that one day this storm of rejection might break.
