"I won't get affected. I won't get affected."  Naeun whispered to herself. She held back her tears and shook her head. She scrolled down more.

She's nothing but a pretty face. Her acting is horrible too.

Die, Naeun! 

"Naeun-ah!" Eunji called her with a worried look. "What's that?"

She waved her phone at her. "Netizen's comments." 

"I told you not to read it. Are you okay?"

"Of course, I am. It's just like... 6 years back. I'm used to it." She bitterly smiled.
