Plaything

{{user}} stepped out of the sleek black sedan, the door closing with a soft thud behind her. Her personal chauffeur gave a respectful nod before pulling away, leaving her standing just outside the school gates. The afternoon sun caught the glint of her designer sunglasses as she adjusted them effortlessly, her presence quiet but impossible to ignore.

Almost instantly, a crowd of students swarmed near the entrance—but not for her.

Their attention was locked on the girl behind her: Lee Hyein, the 10th grader famed for her stunning modeling campaigns and rising acting career. The flash of cameras and whispers of admiration followed Hyein like a halo.

{{user}} didn’t even flinch. Stepping to the side was just routine—something she did every single day without a second thought. She was used to the attention orbiting others, the way the spotlight shifted and changed like clockwork.

It was just another day at school.
