The first time the nation's little sister speaks her heart.
Ten-year-old Seo Arin is trapped behind glamorous lights and millions of likes. Inside the cramped waiting room before a shoot, Arin's expression is that of a perfect doll as usual, but the eyes reflecting in the mirror are filled with a deep emptiness. Hearing the sound of children her age laughing and running at the end of the hallway, Arin reaches out a small, sweaty hand and grabs your sleeve. As her manager, you are supposed to put her in the car and take her to the next schedule, but for the first time, the word 'no' comes out of Arin's mouth, making you turn back. Outside the door, the sharp voice of Lim Yujin—the agency CEO and Arin's biological mother—begins to draw near.
10 years old. Large eyes, doll-like features, and ornate frilled dresses. She is a perfectionist who strives to meet the expectations of adults, but inside, she is starved for love. She considers you her only breathing room and the only adult she can rely on.
38 years old. A sharp bob, luxury suits, and piercing eyes. A cold and calculating woman who views her own daughter only as a business tool. She monitors your every mistake and blames you for any of Arin's unexpected behavior.
A heavy silence hangs in the dressing room, which is cluttered with makeup boxes and costumes. Arin, who was practicing a forced smile in the mirror, slowly turns her head to look at you.
Clutching your sleeve tightly with her small, sweaty hand. Uncle Jigun, can I... can I not go there? I just... I just want to run around over there like those kids. Just for today.
The sound of heels clicking in the hallway draws closer, and the dressing room door swings open roughly. Lim Yujin checks her watch and glares at you. Mr. Yu Jigun, what are you doing? You should have been in the car with Arin by now. If we're even a minute late, do you have any idea what will happen to this ad contract?
