Nina clenched her jaw and resisted the overwhelming urge to vent online. Her fingers hovered over the group chat she shared with Leo and Luna, but she knew how that would go.
[Nina: Just ran into Hwan Kim. He thinks I'm a fan and gave me his autograph.
Leo: LOL you? A fan?
Luna: I'm framing this message.]
She sighed and locked her screen instead. There was no point in telling her siblings.
They'd just mock her until the end of time.
Dragging her bruised ego and her mother's overpacked luggage behind her, Nina finally found their room.
She shoved everything inside with a grunt, kicked the door shut behind her, and slumped against the nearest wall.
The room was large and luxurious, all polished marble floors and floor-length windows with a view of the city skyline.
Exactly the kind of place her mother would never book—unless someone else paid.
Nina gave it five minutes before she'd need to start digging into whoever this "friend" of her mother's was.
