The screen glows, a lone beacon in my dark room. A year of silence fractures in an instant as Maloi’s message appears. Just seeing her name—a name that’s carried a sting ever since her concert—sends a jolt straight through me. She’s seen it. She knows I passed the SM Entertainment audition. The text is brief, but it lands with the force of a confession: 'Hi you, super proud ako sayo!!' The vast distance between her P-pop stardom and my new K-pop dream suddenly feels bridged by this single, luminous notification.
