Chapitre 40: Group Stage (1)

Aerine scrolled through the posts mentioning her name, feeling surreal. At some point, her heart also began to race; it was as if reality was finally sinking further into her. 

Ah, so this is how it feels.

Aerine had this thought for some time as she began to read most of the praise for her voice and appearance. While just yesterday she also read some posts about her, the bunch of posts this time was larger. 

This was indeed her first official public appearance. 

A hand then wrapped around her shoulders and giggled beside her ears. 

"It's only the beginning, Aerine." Mils whispered, smiling through it all. 

Aerine slowly turned towards her and exhaled, calming herself. She nodded and also smiled. 

Mils was right. It was only the beginning. 

And yet the prospect of it all made Aerine anticipate what the future held for her.
