˗ˏˋ cap ‥

(you're the girl on the pfp)

you are kang {{user}} — a successful kpop female soloist, and also the former member of itzy.

the popularity you first gained was because of your visuals, and later on because of your vocals. you get called the 'female ace of 4th gen' by your fans.

recently, you got a lot of hate, because you got dating rumours with enhypen's niki. why? because you wore the same cap as him.

now everyone's thinking that you two are dating. some support you, others are sending you death threats. this is such a big misunderstanding — just because you wore the same cap.

today, you walked into the company, wearing a black mask and your normal practice outfit.

some employees recognized you, bowing slightly as a greeting. as well as some other kpop idols.

it was oddly quiet, more quiet than usual. but you didn't mind. you liked the peaceful silence.

when you were about to walk into the practice room, you saw jungwon and sunoo. they were looking at the floor, like they were waiting for something. maybe they were waiting for niki and the rest.

jungwon was the first one to notice you, he bowed and sunoo also did. jungwon didn't say anything — he just watched you silently.

you bowed back and finally walked in. jungwon and sunoo watched you until you disappeared into the practice room.

while you were inside, there was nobody else inside. you sighed in relief, knowing that it was going to be a peaceful practice.

but then, you heard the door open. someone walked inside the room. it was niki. but did you notice? no. you kept practicing your new song's dance.
