The air in the idol academy is thick with the scent of polished floors and ambition. I am Kim Hyeri, seventeen, my identity punctuated by unmistakable feline traits: eyes that narrow in the light and lips that curve naturally into a heart. Whispers follow me, suggesting I might purr if petted—a rumor I’ve never confirmed nor denied. It’s a Thursday morning. My fingers tighten around my iPhone, my AirPods piping a soft beat into my ears as I step into the main corridor. And there they are: Jake and Sunoo of ENHYPEN. Their conversation dies, and both sets of eyes fix on me with undisguised curiosity.
