TIME SKIP

I handed her the glass, taking my seat next to her again as she adjusted the phone for the live stream. Hina grinned, her mischievous side showing as she leaned closer to the camera. "You heard it, Astralis! There's a secret album that Riri-unnie is hiding from us. I think we should start a petition to get her to show it, don't you agree?"

The live chat exploded with fans commenting, agreeing with Hina's playful suggestion. I couldn't help but laugh. "Yah, Hina! Don't encourage them! It's private," I said, shaking my head with a grin.

She pouted exaggeratedly at the camera. "But unnieee, now everyone's curious! What if there's something super embarrassing in there?"

I took a sip of my champagne, trying to stay composed. "It's just old memories, nothing too crazy," I said casually, though my heart raced slightly at the thought of Jungkook's photos buried somewhere in that album. The last thing I needed was to dredge up those old emotions on a live stream.

Hina raised her eyebrows at me, clearly sensing something. "Old memories, huh? Now I'm even more curious. Should we give Astralis a hint, at least?" She turned back to the screen. "What do you think, Astralis? Should we try to get a clue from her?"

I laughed again, more to cover up my nerves than anything. "No way! A girl's gotta have some secrets, right?"

The comments were flying in, some fans spamming heart emojis, while others begged for at least a hint. Hina kept reading them out loud, enjoying the teasing too much.

"Alright, alright! How about this-" I cut in, thinking of a way to change the topic smoothly. "We'll reveal one thing from the album when Pentara wins a Daesang. How's that, Astralis?"

The comments erupted even more, fans going wild at the prospect. Hina looked at me in mock surprise. "Oh, you're really going to make them work for it, huh?"

I shrugged with a playful smirk. "Gotta make it worth something, right?"

Hina laughed, clinking her glass against mine. "Deal! Astralis, you heard her. Let's make it happen!"

We continued chatting with the fans for a while longer, answering questions and sharing some fun stories from our trainee days. The mood lightened, and I relaxed, grateful to Hina for distracting me from the heavier thoughts that had been looming earlier.
