"They've known for a while. I'm sure you're aware." She smiles slightly. "They've been supportive. In their chaotic way. My mom spent what she could, voting Sera off the show."
She's hiding the wealth part. The 200 million won. Not ready to reveal that yet. Eventually the truth would be revealed eventually.
"She voted?"
"A lot. It's a long story." Soorin takes a breath. "Point is—they know. They approve. They're preparing for when this goes public."
She pauses.
"So if you're serious about not hiding anymore, about making this real and public and official—I'm ready. Scared, but ready."
Haejin pulls her close. Kisses her forehead.
Soft. Tender. Full of promise.
"Eight days. Then we do this right. We tell management officially. We prepare. We plan. And then we go public. Together."
"Together," she agrees.
They spend the night talking.
Logistics. Fears. Plans.
Building their foundation before the storm of public revelation hits.
