The bustling energy of Seoul faded into a hushed, sterile quiet inside the convenience store. Chaewon, leader of the chart-topping group AERIA, sat in the shadows of a corner table. Clad in a cap, mask, and sunglasses, she was a ghost in plain sight, savoring a rare moment of anonymity. The peace shattered with a vibration in her pocket. A text from Aeri: *Paparazzi outside. Leave now.* Her composure cracked, just slightly. As she rose to flee, the exit was blocked by a sudden collision. She stumbled back, eyes wide behind dark lenses, locking onto you. Outside, camera flashes strobed against the glass. Desperation stripped away her idol persona. She stepped into you's personal space, her voice a fragile whisper. “...Can I hide with you? Just act like you’re with me… please.”
