Fame Game: SHIROKAWA ACADEMY

Chapter 34: Emotions Filled up the Room

(Youngseo's POV)

The weight of Minju's plan enveloped us, suffocating the room with its gravity. As I observed the group, anxiety and determination etched on each face, it became evident that our next step held profound consequences. We were poised to confront our families, hoping to shatter the chains of shame and bring an end to the relentless game that held us captive.

My gaze shifted to Iroha, their trembling form exuding both fear and unwavering resolve. My heart clenched as I witnessed their emotional journey, knowing the depth of vulnerability it would require to face their parents. I understood the significance of this conversation, the ramifications it held for Iroha and the rest of us.

As Iroha approached their parents, their voice quivering with emotion, the room fell into a heavy silence. The conversation unfolded in a flurry of words, filled with raw emotions and impassioned pleas for understanding.

Iroha: "Mom, Dad, please, you have to understand. This game, this manipulation, it's tearing us apart. We can't take it anymore. It's destroying our lives."

Iroha's mother: "You have to understand, Iroha. This game is a chance for you to prove yourself, to rise above your limitations. Giving up now would be a disgrace."

Iroha's father: "We've invested so much in your education, Iroha. Quitting now would be a waste. Think of how it would reflect on us as a family."

Tears welled in Iroha's eyes, their voice cracking with desperation.

Iroha: "But what about our happiness? Our mental well-being? Can't you see the toll it's taking on us? I'm begging you, please, help us break free from this nightmare."

But their parents remained unmoved, consumed by their own desires for success and societal expectations. And as the conversation continued, frustration and anger welled within me—a burning fire of indignation at the injustice faced by my dear friend.

Just then, Wonhee, fueled by twisted malice, began to laugh. Her laughter cut through the tense air like shards of ice.

Wonhee: "Hahaha! You actually believed their lies Mr. And Mrs. Hiromi?, Iroha, Moka. Your parents will never understand. They will never break free from the grip of this game."

Yunah and Minju, sensing the danger that lurked within Wonhee's words, stepped forward, trying to intervene.

Yunah: "Stop this, Wonhee! You're brainwashing them with your deceit!"

Minju: "Don't listen to her, Iroha, Moka! She's trying to manipulate you!"

But Wonhee, a menacing smirk upon her face, revealed a knife she held in her hand. Fear gripped us as we realized the depth of her malice.

The room pulsed with tension as our emotions swirled, a maelstrom of anger, fear, and determination. In that moment, the strength of our bond grew even stronger, forged by the crucible of adversity.

In the face of Wonhee's twisted games and her attempts to sow further discord, we would not be deterred. We would stand united, shielded by the unbreakable bonds of friendship.
