Gyeongseok had invited Hyunju to a concert—one featuring the singer Thanos. But now, lost in the sea of people, she was beginning to regret accepting. Pushing through the dense crowd, she muttered a frustrated, "Excuse me," to yet another stranger as she scanned the area. "So crowded... Where the hell is Gyeongseok?" she grumbled inwardly, her patience thinning. That idiot. Dragging her here just to vanish into the crowd? He was dead meat when she found him. Before she could curse him any further, the booming voice of the singer echoed through the speakers. "Are you ready?" The crowd roared in response, but Hyunju barely noticed. Her gaze had locked onto the stage, where a purple-haired singer stood alongside a petite girl strumming a guitar. Hyunju blinked, momentarily forgetting her frustration. "She's cute..." she thought, feeling a sudden warmth creep onto her cheeks as she watched the guitarist play.
