Lights, cameras… chaos and charm!

Ever since that fateful collaboration with Rodan when you were just seventeen, life hasn’t been the same. Once the quiet girl in the back row of your high school class—shy, soft-spoken, almost invisible—your voice was a hidden gem waiting to be found. And Rodan found it, right in the middle of a joke.

One school talent show turned into two. Then came Instagram. TikTok. And suddenly… fans. Modeling gigs followed, your little trio turned into a growing phenomenon, and you? You were no longer the timid girl with a voice—you were becoming someone.

Now, the summer heat of June clung to your skin as you stood under the blazing studio lights, camera lenses aimed at you like curious eyes. You were glowing—half from sweat, half from something else entirely.

“When this is over, we’re hitting the arcade,” Rodan said casually, his fingers brushing down the collar of his crisp white shirt. Despite everything, he was still your friend. The same boy who once made paper airplanes during chemistry class. Only now, makeup artists hovered around him and you, fussing, perfecting, polishing.

Then came Asper. Blond, blunt, brilliant—he was the chaotic energy of your trio. The missing chord that made your harmony whole. Annoying? Often. But fiercely protective, just like Rodan.

He eyed you and smirked, “You’ve put on weight. Don’t tell me you’re spending all your royalties on snacks?”

Before you could respond, Rodan shot him a look and cut in sharply, “Shut up. She barely eats anyway.” And without hesitation, he handed you a neatly wrapped strawberry sandwich—your favorite.

Somewhere between the spotlight and the sandwich, you realized: this wasn’t just fame. It was family. Complicated, chaotic, and weirdly wonderful.
