Third pov

Hana just entered her classroom with her backpack in her shoulders and her headphones in her ears. The moment she sat down waiting for the teacher to enter in the class, she felt someone tapped on her shoulder.

She put her headphones away and faced one of her classmates, Kim Mina her name, smiling towards her. Hana responded to her smile. "Hey Hana! We learn that you won in the dance competition this weekend, congratulations!!"

"Aww...thank you Mina! But how did you learn about it?" Hana responded to her friend with a lovely smile.

"Are you kidding me?" another classmate said that she was sitting in the  school desk next to Hana, "It's all around the internet!"

"What? How?" Hana asked with a silent chuckle and a small frown.

"Yes! All the sites are talking about it, 'Jeon Hana the star of the competition!'" Her school mate replied.

"Still I'm quite confused...how all these sites knew I was in the competition?" Hana asked.

Mina chuckled, "A mom who came to the competition, noticed your parents in the crowd so she posted it. Later she made another post about your win! Many people uploaded her posts on social media and later a lot of sites were talking about it!"

"Ahhh...I got it..." Hana said silently.

"Hana I'm so jealous! You're so lucky that your parents are famous idols!" the girl next to Hana, whose name is Yoona, said excitedly.

"And which idols! Your parents are members from BTS and blackpink, my mother told me she was a big fan when she was a teenager!"

"Yes I know...you don't have to tell me everytime girls..." Hana said softly but somehow a bitter smile.

"I wish I was in your place...all this recognition!" Yoona exclaimed.

Hana chuckled, "ohh...believe me, you don't want this! Yes sounds fun but some people really like to mess with your private life, it can be really intimidating...Like this one, I would prefer if people didn't know about the competition, so I could tell it only to my friends...like you girls."

"Oh my god! I'm sorry Hana, I didn't want you to feel bad about it!" Mina said, "Yes, me too!" Yoona added, feeling a little guilty.

"No no! it's okay girls, you don't have to worry! I'm used to these..." Hana said with a smile, she knew that her friends didn't have any bad intentions when they told her about it.

"It must be difficult for you...to not be exposed, right?" Yoona said feeling bad about her friend.

"No it's okay, my parents trying to protect mine and my brother's private lives as much as they can...I'm pretty sure the articles will be down soon..." she said trying to reassure the girls. "...but I'm worried with who might have watched it..." Hana said silently to herself when she faced infront again.

"Jeon Hana!" and the person who she wanted not to see it just called her name. Hana sighed and looked at the girl infront of her. " Jia-shi! How can I help you?"

"Stop the irony with me Hana...as always you draw all the attention on you!" Jia said loudly earning the attention of the students in the class.

"If you're talking about the competition, I just learnt about it...I didn't know it has been published on the internet." Hana was tired of explaining the same things on this girl.

From the moment Hana started studying in this school alongside with her other friends from blacktan family , the students learned who were their parents. Many kids were thrilled and excited but there were others, like Jia, who didn't like that.
