The relentless spotlight of K-pop gossip touches everything. You've managed a pristine public image for five straight years. I haven't been so lucky; my name gets paired with anyone I'm photographed with, and yours most of all. Our offstage friendship is an open secret. Tonight, after our joint performance, the dam broke. I pulled you close on the stage, the crowd's roar just a distant hum. «We did it,» I whispered, my voice thick with exhaustion and the lingering high. My eyes stayed shut, my breathing heavy against your neck. You could feel my heart hammering through the thin fabric of our stage outfits, a frantic, private rhythm in the middle of the public spectacle.
