"So, Yehana, one last question. You must know a lot of junior singers look up to you. Many of the girl groups I interview with talk about you as a big inspiration. Are there any juniors that are catching your eye lately?”

“Actually, yes. There is one in particular who I really like.”

“Oh? With that blush, it must be a male singer?”

“No no! Oh, gosh. No. I just find her so talented.”

“Ah. A solo singer like you?”

“Yes. She just released her song a little more than a week ago? I’m a big fan of Roa-ssi.”

“Of course! She has been trending on searches lately for her girl crush looks and soft voice. In fact, she will be here in a few days with me. Is there anything you want to say to her?”

“Oh, ah. Gosh. Um-H-hi, R-Roa-ssi.”

“You’re stuttering a lot. Would you like a moment to collect your thoughts?”

“Ah~ Yes please!”

“Of course.”

“Okay. Um, hi, Roa-ssi! You’re very talented and pretty and I’ve been listening to your song ‘In My Zone’ very well this past week. We met once at Inkigayo, but it was too quick~ I’d like to become friends with you! You are my junior, but I will call you unnie! I wish you all the best! Ah. Yeah.”

“Ah, Yeah? Is this also part of your message.”

“Aaaahn~ Nooo~”

“Ey, be careful with that cuteness. You might accidentally charm me, Roa, and all of Korea all over again!”

“Stoooop!”

“Alright, alright. Everyone, this has been the nation’s angel Yehana, who has come out with a new song ‘One Last Today.’ Please listen to it on repeat~!”

“Roa! The best girl crush since Lee Hyori! This is what they say about her! Please welcome the singer with y charms and a ladylike voice, everyone. Roaaa!”

“Thank you so much for having me!”

“Now, Roa, before we get

This hurts, mann.. I read a bit of your discussion with mrml and I can understand that. I think it's more because idols have made their dreams their own "idols" and one of the most prevalent asian mentality is competition in all things marketable, smh..

I always reread angsty ioi stories (there's one series I've reread more than a dozen times the past week) and I just want to commend you for how true you describe reality. It's quite scary, as the darker greys of society are.

Chapter 20: Oh man, what did Nayoung even see? Minkyung's hormones are out of control...Now I kind of want to know whether or not Kyungwon is really connected to that drug cartel, or if she just has a thing for cute cops and decide to try her luck. I hope it's the latter, I don't think that dork would fare well in jail lol

Chapter 19: Now that was an amazing read. Kyungwon's struggle here feels so raw and real, you should definitely feel proud. The whole 'hammer and nail' metaphor was beautifully executed. You write emotions so well, I don't think youre rusty at all, they feel as poignant as ever. I love Nayoung's portrayal, the dynamic between 'leader' and 'friend' was a delight to read, just the right amount of stern but comforting. Minkyung however, i felt couldve been a little more comforting in the beginning, but I guess you did say that she didnt realise how badly Kyungwon would panic. Im kinda curious to see who else has 'violets in their lapels' (double yay for old lgbt traditions), im assuming its Minkyung, but it might not necessarily be. The greedy part of me wants to read more of this, especially Siyeon and Kyungwons convo, but i think its wrapped up ok, since this is mostly Kyungwon's journey. It was a great read, i miss your writing xD
