Chapter 34: The Reveal Heard Around the World
"Not everyone will understand your journey — but that's what makes it yours."
Choen stared at her reflection in the agency restroom mirror, her fingers fidgeting with the collar of her blazer. The nerves were kicking in — hard. Today wasn't just a casual meeting. Today, for the first time, the world would see her… as her. No more shadows. No more secrets.
As she stepped into the main building of the agency, cameras were already being set up. Staff whispered and bustled around her, passing clipboards, fixing lights, adjusting angles. Choen kept her eyes straight ahead, walking with a composed elegance that only cracked when she exhaled shakily behind the scenes.
She was led to a sleek interview room filled with white lighting, K-pop posters, and a modern vibe that screamed star quality. A host with an electric smile greeted her. "Welcome, Choen! The world's been curious… and today, we give them answers."
A producer signaled.
"3… 2… 1… We're live."
The screen split with a dynamic title:
✨ THE GUEST APPEARANCE: WHO IS SHE? ✨
Choen smiled softly as the interview began.
"So, Choen," the host leaned in, "tell us — how does it feel to be the guest star on Glitter's world tour?"
Choen's voice was steady but warm. "Honestly? A dream. I never expected this. I'm just someone who loves designing, performing, and creating stories. Being part of this… it feels magical."
Boom. Within seconds, the live chat exploded.
💬 "SHE'S SO PRETTY 😭✨"
💬 "Why wasn't she a trainee before? Her aura is insane."
💬 "This is a slap to real idols."
💬 "I don't know her… but I want to."
💬 "Glitter with her? Ew."
💬 "No wait— she fits the vibe perfectly!"
Choen saw the monitor lighting up with the ocean of thoughts — some warm, some sharp. But she kept her smile, unfazed. She had trained herself not to let digital words decide her worth.
Later that day…
The news had exploded like wildfire. Every major outlet posted variations of the same headline:
🗞️ K-pop History Made: Unknown Beauty Joins Glitter for World Tour!
🗞️ The 7th Sparkle — Who Is Choen, the Mysterious Guest with Glitter?
🗞️ Controversy and Curiosity: Fans Split Over Unexpected Addition.
Her phone buzzed non-stop. Messages, mentions, clips, and opinions. She tried not to read them all, but it was like trying not to breathe underwater — impossible.
That's when Choel entered the agency lounge, casual yet shining in his presence like always.
He flopped beside Choen on the couch with a grin.
"Girl. You broke the internet," Choel laughed, handing her a warm latte. "You looked amazing."
"I'm not sure if everyone agrees…" Choen muttered, eyes scanning a particularly mean comment that called her a "tag-along."
Choel leaned in, his tone softer. "You know, when we debuted… it wasn't a parade. It was a war. But love grew. It always does. You just gotta survive the first storm."
Choen looked at him — at the leader of the group she was joining — and felt something shift. Gratitude. Confidence. Maybe even… belonging.
Back in her room that night, Choen sat on her bed, watching the stars twinkle out the window. She remembered something her mother said:
"The world won't always clap for you. Sometimes, you have to dance anyway."
She opened her notebook and wrote one word:
Shine.
Because that's what she would do.
