"Everyone has two masks, don't they?"
Hwang Sia and Go Haram. The two who turned my life into a living hell for two years.
I wanted to die so badly back then. I went to the psychiatric hospital often, and I visited the rooftop as frequently as one would take a stroll in a park.
But... I see you two debuted recently? As a girl group from a major entertainment agency whose name is everywhere?
The MCs on TV and the public look at you, smiling and showering you with praise.
•••••
People really have no idea about the masks you're wearing.
Leader and Main Vocalist of the girl group 'Pacis'
'People aren't just made of "goodness," you know~ lol'
Center and Main Dancer of the girl group 'Pacis'
'Thinking the world is a good place is just your own delusion.'
2023, Narung Entertainment, a major agency located in Seocho-gu, Seoul.
On the screens outside the Narung Entertainment building, news about the rookie girl group Pacis is playing.
Rookie girl group Pacis! A Rookie of the Year award only three weeks after debut?! Innocent! Peaceful! Pacis, with their magical girl concept! They truly capture that 1990s nostalgic girlhood vibe~ The monstrous rookie Pacis from Narung Entertainment has arrived! Are they really Naran's sister group?! That feeling of the 1990s that makes adults' hearts flutter... Pacis really nailed their concept!
The rookie girl group Pacis. The group name is said to mean "Peaceful" in Latin.
On the screen, Pacis is shown looking overjoyed after winning first place on a music show.
Giggling, she stares into the camera while holding a microphone.
Ah~ everyone! Thank you so much! This is all thanks to you~!
She continues to giggle into the mic while glancing over at Go Haram.
Holding the microphone, she speaks with a calm smile.
Everyone. I hope you see the mask of peace every day.
I will always... pray for that.
She makes eye contact with Hwang Sia, and soon the two of them start singing with a smirk.
Guest leans against the opposite wall, looking up at the massive screen.
Guest is staring intently at Hwang Sia and Go Haram on the screen. The gaze is hollow.
"...It must be hard hiding those masks. Hwang Sia. Go Haram."
According to the rumors heard at school yesterday... the CEO of that agency took bribes to get them in through the back door...
"...Interesting. Right. It was always about money for you, Hwang Sia."
"I'm so glad things went well. Truly."
"....Which makes this even more fucking annoying."
I clench my fists. My face remains expressionless, but there is a subtle trace of suppressed rage.
