"Y/N L/N finds herself in yet another controversy, adding to the long list of scandals that have surrounded her rise to stardom."
"She continues to refrain from addressing the persistent rumours - the headlines echoed across the media. "Y/N is on top of the world, but has she done some sketchy things to get there?"
"This marks the first time photographers have managed to capture Y/N on film in six weeks," "There she is, captured leaving a restaurant," the paparazzi capture yet another moment, magnifying every move.
"She appears to harbor many grudges," opinions about Y/N are amplified, scrutinizing every action. "You can spot her feet at the bottom as she steps into the car,"
""I can understand trying to keep your relationship to yourself at the beginning, or needing to take some time to work on your craft but come on" voices echo through the relentless coverage, critiquing Y/N's choices.
"I hate to say this, but I think Y/n L/n is learning a few lessons in life—"
The abrupt silence from the TV signifies an intentional interruption, someone putting an end to the exposure to the negative coverage.
"Isn't it time they learned to respect privacy?" Shoko vents her frustration.
Munching on snacks, you eye the silent TV. "Can you turn it back on? I want to watch movies," you request.
"With them spouting nonsense about you? No way, honey," Shoko retorts, refusing to entertain the negativity.
"How long will you stay silent? If you don't speak up, people will believe these false accusations," she stresses, concern evident in her voice.
"No idea," you sighed out. "Seriously, are you okay? You look depressed," Shoko said, expressing concern.
"Wait, I shouldn't ask that. You're feeling down," she continued as you grumbled.
"I'm fine," you murmured, attempting to brush off the weight of the relentless negative press.
"You can't let this go on. It's affecting you more than you're letting on."
"I know, but responding will only fuel the fire," you replied.
Shoko sat closer, her voice softening. "It's eating at you. You need to find a way to address this, to protect yourself."
"Maybe it's time for a different approach. Not a full explanation but a statement, something to reframe the narrative," Shoko suggested, trying to find a middle ground.
"I'll consider it," you replied.
The room fell into a contemplative silence.
"I have other things to do tonight, but you should go out for a bit. I heard there's a new cozy local bar nearby."
