“I gotta go.” I stare longingly at the half container left of tteokbokki. “Thanks for the pick-me-up, even if it’s going to add a kilogram to me on camera today.”

“You’re too skinny anyway,” Sohee says. “People won’t like that.”

“People never like anything about me,” I point out.

“Not true, they love you after your drama. Don’t let one article get you down, it doesn’t mean anything. It’ll all pass soon,” she says with a bright smile. I want to roll my eyes at her unwavering optimism, but I smile back at her instead.

On the elevator I can’t stop myself from reading the article again. I glare at the title. I hate that it’s trending. But of course it is.

At least my name isn’t in the headline. A small gift in this whole situation. But I still hate this article far more than most of the others. Even the ones that exclaim “Shin Hyeri Accused of Being a Bully!” in bold letters at the top.

And that’s because of what’s in the last paragraphs. A name that sticks out and mocks me.

Because what bothers me the most, somehow, is that they mentioned Moonster in the article. Of all the people to be flagged in my current humiliation cycle, it had to be my nemesis.
