Later that night, Soorin lay in bed. Phone in hand. Scrolling through social media even though she knew she shouldn't.
Gleams were going absolutely insane with theories. The speculation had reached fever pitch.
[#ValentineWithLUMEN is trending worldwide #1]
[Theory thread: HAEL definitely wrote the song for Staff 03. Here's why...]
[Her birthday is tomorrow = Valentine's Day confirmed by Voice]
[Press conference when they're back in Seoul = relationship announcement]
[They're 100% going public]
[I'm calling it now and I'll eat my shoe if I'm wrong]
The theories were endless. Detailed. With evidence and screenshots and timeline analyses. Scarily accurate.
Some fans were supportive. Excited. Happy for them.
Others were... less enthusiastic. Comments about how idols shouldn't date. How it ruined the fantasy. How Soorin was nobody special.
Those stung. Even though she knew they would come.
Her phone buzzed. Text from Haejin.
