Chapter-1

The atmosphere remained tense throughout the day, filled with anticipation of forthcoming occurrences. Suddenly, a seemingly middle-aged man attacked a young woman while she was attempting to release a bird from its cage.

...….....

A gentle, soothing voice drifted up from downstairs, saying, "Wake up, dear."

A lovely, captivating young girl awoke, extended her arms in a stretch, and yawned.

Danyi was on the verge of turning 18 next month. After spending half an hour in the bathroom, she emerged dressed in her school uniform, with her makeup applied and hair styled. "Mom, where's my breakfast?'' she asked loudly. Her mother replied that it was on the table, where Krystal quickly ate it.

She made her way to the bus station to board her ride. It appeared as though the skies were echoing our happiness, painting themselves a brilliant shade of blue. The buzz of conversation filled the air. The day was teeming with energy, but something was noticeably different. What was it, though?

Danyi ambled along the pavement, engrossed in her mobile device. She had the sense that someone was tailing her from a distance. She glanced over her shoulder, yet it was empty. Furthermore, she proceeded with her stroll. Roughly a quarter of an hour afterwards, she came to a halt at a bus depot. While waiting for the bus, she pulled out a book from her bag and started looking through it. “Are you waiting for the bus to head to school?” A soft and mild voice became audible. She raised her face toward the source of the voice.

A lady in her thirties faced her, sporting eyes as brilliant as emeralds and lips reminiscent of peaches, presenting a form that many men find desirable.

She gave her a smile and carried on with her speech. “My name is Choi Soojin, and I hold the position of CEO at STAR ENTERTAINMENT.” Upon hearing her words, Danyi's eyes grew wide. Soojin went on to say, "I have been searching for the ideal girl to become the face of my entertainment company, yet I haven't found the perfect fit. However, upon seeing you, I felt you could be the next star of my enterprise." “But”, taking a brief pause, Danyi resumed, "I'm still underage, and my schooling is incomplete." “It won't be a significant issue; numerous young idols are making their debut at an early age and finding success in their careers. What seems to be the issue with you? Your appearance exudes elegance and allure.”

Soojin instructed Danyi to convene at the café at 6 p.m. the following day. Afterwards, she left, and soon Danyi's bus pulled up. She hastened to get on, her thoughts consumed by the earlier event during the ride.

The bus reached another stop, but Danyi was lost in her thoughts. It came to an abrupt halt, causing her to bump her head against someone's shoulder, which injured her due to its stiffness. Without seeing his face, she quickly apologized to the person and disembarked from the bus.
