Zoey: Floor seats are impossible to get. Seriously, how did you pull that off? Teach me your secret. Next time, I want to cheat my way into seats like that too.

Ava: Someone gave them to me.

Zoey: Tsk. Jealous. Someone actually handed you floor seats just like that? My chest hurts. I paid a ridiculous amount to a scalper, and my ticket still sucks.

Naomi: Same. I’m jealous too. Why do I not have a friend generous enough to give me floor tickets?

Malory: What is wrong with the two of you? Maybe her boyfriend gave them to her. Why are you acting like this?

Zoey: Are we even still friends?

Naomi: Exactly. Are we even friends anymore?

Ava stared at the chat, speechless.

Zoey: I was joking with Ava. Malory, you’re the jealous one. Jealous because I get to go.

Naomi: Ava, who do you like most? My favorite is Bennie Franklin. He’s so gentle, and his voice is amazing. He looks all soft and sweet, but his stage persona is really intense. The contrast is crazy.

Zoey: Curtis Watts for me. His high notes are insane. That voice is unreal.

Malory: @Naomi, we really do have the same taste. Hehe.

Zoey: Ava, what about you? Who’s your favorite?

Ava looked at the names on the screen. Bennie and Curtis… they must be Ryan’s other two

teammates.

After a brief pause, she typed out her answer.

Ava: Ryan Brock, I guess.

The chat instantly went strange.

Zoey, Malory, and Naomi each responded with a string of ellipses.

Ava stared at the screen for a second.

Ava: What does that mean?

Zoey: Honestly, I never expected you to choose Ryan. His words are often harsh, and I dislike men who speak that way. He’s also very showy. While he’s attractive and a good singer, his demeanor already hints that he’s difficult to handle.

Naomi: He’s extremely arrogant. Among the three, he’s always had the toughest reputation. He’s the only one in the group with more male fans than female fans. While other idols have fans who are girlfriends, wives, or even moms, he primarily has bro fans.

Malory: That man is way too full of himself, and his temper definitely isn’t good either. Trust me, don’t fall for him. Bennie is seriously such a nice guy.

Ava read their replies and felt a little surprised.

She had not expected Ryan to be this unpopular among girls.

Looking at his behavior, it honestly made sense. He didn’t come across as someone who intentionally caters to female fans.

A few more messages followed.

Naomi: Then let’s go together tomorrow.

Ava: Sure. I can head over as soon as class ends.

Zoey: I already asked for leave in advance.

Ava exited the group chat after that and tapped on Ryan’s profile picture.

For a while, she simply looked at the chat window.

She had no idea what he might be doing at that hour.

Her fingers drifted over the keyboard as a few words emerged. She then erased them, only to try again and delete them as well. She lingered over the blank message box, suddenly uncertain about how to begin.

A new message popped up before she had figured it out.

“You’ve been typing forever. If you want to say something, then say it.”

Ava was startled. Her eyes widened as she looked at the line on the screen, then she quickly

asked, “You’re not busy?”

His response came almost immediately.

“Not too busy. I stole a little time to rest. I was just about to video call you.”

The moment that message came through, a video request followed.

Ava pressed accept.

Ryan’s face appeared on the screen at once. He was sitting on a couch, and there was no one else around him.

“Ava!”

The way he looked at her was almost intense enough to burn through the screen.

In the past few days, he was overwhelmed and exhausted, with little time to breathe and aching bones. However, upon seeing her, that deep fatigue vanished instantly. Just her presence was enough to recharge him, making all his lost energy suddenly return.

Ava looked at him for a moment before speaking, “Tomorrow, I’m coming over with my friends after class.”

Ryan immediately asked, “Do you want Soren to pick you up?”

Ava rejected it without hesitation. “No. I’m going with my friends, so there’s no need.”

Then she added, “You’ll be busy tomorrow anyway. Mr. Goodman should stay with you. Besides, I won’t be alone if I’m with them.”

Ryan was clearly not satisfied. “Then, before the concert ends, I’ll have my assistant come get you.”

Ava started to object, “You really don’t need to. I—”

Ryan interrupted her, frowning. “I haven’t seen you in forever. You were gone for a whole month at orientation, and as soon as you returned, school started again. I’ve been overwhelmed the entire time and haven’t even had a chance to see you.”

Ava looked straight into his eyes through the screen. “Then I’ll come find you. I’ll leave early.”
