She opened it. Curious.
A message. With a photo attached.
The photo loaded. Tokyo International Forum. The anime premiere venue.
And Yura standing in front of it. Natural brunette hair. Designer outfit. Confident posture.
The message read:
[Can't wait to see you both in Tokyo! Escaped Seoul early—got invited to model for a Tokyo fashion event and honestly? Needed the break from netizens after you two went public. They've been WILD. So much has changed since we last spoke before the press conference. Let's catch up properly this time. The premiere is going to be amazing. Looking forward to it! -Yura]
Soorin blinked.
Read it again.
'Wait. She left early to escape the netizens? Because of us going public?'
She showed Haejin. "Look."
He read it. Expression shifting from confusion to understanding to mild guilt.
"Oh. She left because of the netizen reaction to us."
"Yeah." Soorin reread the message. "But she doesn't sound upset about it. Just... matter-of-fact."
