Fame Game: SHIROKAWA ACADEMY

Chapter 21: Enigmatic Warning

As we stepped back into the school, an eerie silence fell upon the students. Their gazes bore into us, filled with a mix of curiosity, suspicion, and perhaps even fear. The weight of their scrutiny sent shivers down my spine, intensifying the unsettling atmosphere that hung in the air.

Among the crowd, one face stood out—Wonhee. Her unsettling smile curled at the corners of her lips, sending a chill racing down my spine. With each step, she closed the distance between us, her voice dripping with an unnerving intensity.

"Be careful," she warned in a low, almost haunting, tone. "It's not safe." Her enigmatic words hung heavily in the air, leaving us to decipher their true significance.

"Noh Yunah... the throne's mine now," she continued, her voice laced with possessiveness and a chilling determination. "Mine... only..." Her dark eyes zeroed in on me, filled with accusation and a hint of sadistic pleasure. "Kim Minju, I thought you betrayed your friends? Did you manipulate them again?"

Her words hit me like a slap to the face, causing my blood to boil with a mix of anger and frustration. How dare she insinuate that I would betray my friends? The urge to retaliate, to strike back at her, surged within me, but I held myself back, knowing that a confrontation in the open would only feed into her twisted game.

With an internal battle raging within me, I suppressed my anger and maintained a composed façade. I had to stay focused on the bigger picture, on exposing the puppeteers and protecting my friends. Wonhee's words would fuel my determination rather than derail it.

As she walked away, that unsettling smile still etched on her face, I turned to my friends. Their eyes reflected a mix of confusion and concern. We couldn't let Wonhee's unsettling words distract us from our mission. We had to stay united, trust in one another, and uncover the truth that lay hidden beneath the facade of Shirokawa Academy.
