Chapter 13 - Secrets for sale

The next morning, Yuna dressed in her finest clothes and made her way to Starwave Entertainment, the agency where Kairo's career was shaped and protected. She was more than just any fan; her wealth gave her access to spaces and opportunities others could only dream of. And today, she planned to use that advantage.

Arriving at the building, she walked confidently through the lobby, her gaze scanning for staff members who might recognize her from her frequent visits. She approached a group of employees, her tone casual but purposeful as she struck up a conversation.

Yuna: "Hey, do you guys happen to know if Kairo has anything planned today? I'd love to support him, maybe catch him at the right time."

The staff hesitated, exchanging uncertain glances. While some fans occasionally dropped by, few were as persistent or as persuasive as Yuna. She leaned in, lowering her voice just enough to hint at something more.

Yuna: "I'm willing to make it worth your while. Anything you can tell me where he's rehearsing, what his schedule looks like will stay between us. I can be very generous."

She watched their expressions, the faint look of interest sparking in their eyes. They knew it was against the rules, but the lure of easy money was tempting. And Yuna was an expert at pushing just enough to make people consider bending the lines.

Within minutes, a few key pieces of information began to trickle her way. She knew that by the end of the day her efforts would bring her that much closer to Kairo her every move pulling her deeper into a world that only she could see was meant for her alone

As Yuna glanced at her phone, her heart raced with excitement. The notification displayed exactly what she had been longing for: Kairo's full schedule and even the details of his apartment. She felt a surge of thrill everything was falling into place. Her mind began to race with possibilities. This was her chance to finally get closer to him, and nothing would stand in her way.

Her fingers hovered over the screen as she absorbed the information. She knew this opportunity was risky, but the reward felt worth it.

Meanwhile, in South Africa, Yeseo shared a serene photo on her Instagram. She was standing amidst the bustling elegance of Sandton, the city's skyline glistening behind her. Her caption was heartfelt: "The world is really beautiful, but I miss familiar faces in Seoul."

Fans from all over the world flooded her post with support and love, comforting her with messages about how she was never truly alone. The image of Yeseo exploring a new city tugged at her fans' hearts, reminding them of her sweet nature and love for home.

Moments after Yeseo posted the picture, Kairo's name appeared briefly under the "likes" list before disappearing as quickly as it came. Fans, however, were lightning-fast to catch it. Screenshots of Kairo's accidental like spread like wildfire on social media, sparking endless speculation.

"Did Kairo just confirm he's close with Yeseo?" one fan account tweeted. Others chimed in with theories, playfully calling it a "slip of the heart." Despite Kairo's quick attempt to undo his like, fans were already buzzing with excitement over this unexpected interaction.

When Yuna saw the screenshots of Kairo's accidental like on Yeseo's post, her blood boiled. She felt an intense pang of jealousy twist inside her, hating the idea of Kairo even showing a momentary interest in someone else, especially Yeseo. To her, it was a betrayal, a reminder that he had a life beyond her imagined connection with him.

She clenched her phone tightly, her mind racing with ways to ensure Kairo's attention remained focused only on her. This was her mission she wouldn't let anyone, not even Yeseo, come between her and Kairo.

Yuna wasted no time. She retweeted the screenshot, adding a pointed caption: "Seems odd to like and then remove it… clearly just a mistake." Her words were carefully chosen, laced with a hint of skepticism, hoping to sway fans into questioning Kairo's intentions.

Her tweet quickly gained traction, with others debating if Kairo's brief interaction meant anything at all. Some fans agreed with her, downplaying the moment, while others fiercely defended Kairo and Yeseo, insisting that it was just an innocent slip. Yuna watched the responses roll in, satisfied that she had subtly cast doubt, hoping to disrupt the growing rumors before they spiraled any further.
