Sanas POV

Airport

Just as I approached security, a group of fans spotted me. Their eyes lit up, and I felt a wave of pressure building around me. They shouted my name, and I couldn't help but smile, despite my haste. One fan broke away from the crowd, rushing up to me.

"Chou Sana! Did you watch the trailer for My Stalker Is My Wife?".

I felt the familiar dread settle in my stomach as I opened my mouth to respond.

"I did watch it, but I feel disgusted by how real the intimate scenes looked, and it made me very uncomfortable. To be honest, from what I read in the webtoon, it is too similar to a previous experience Tzuyu had with an ex", I said.

The fan's expression faltered, and I could see a mix of confusion and concern in their eyes. I almost wanted to apologize for my bluntness, but I couldn't help it. And I couldn't stop it coming out.  As my bodyguard moved in closer, blocking some of the fans from getting too close, I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the emotions threatening to overwhelm me. The intimate scenes in the trailer felt like a stab in my gut. I could almost picture Tzuyu in those moments, and it made me sick. There was a sense of possessiveness and passion that radiated between Rose and Tzuyu on-screen. What if it triggered something in Tzuyu? What if she began to yearn for that kind of connection again? I knew I shouldn't be thinking like this. Tzuyu loved me. But what if the similarities between Rosé characters and Mina were too much for her? What if she began to compare me to that? In the back of my mind, I worried that maybe Tzuyu would leave me, not because she wanted to, but because she'd felt a longing for something familiar, something she'd had before. I forced myself to swallow hard, trying to rid my mind of these thoughts as I continued toward security. My bodyguard stayed close, ensuring that the fans didn't encroach too much on my space. I appreciated his protection, but right now, I felt trapped in my own mind.

"Ms. Chou are you okay?".

I shot him a brief smile. 

"Yeah, just tired. Long day ahead", I said.

"Do you want me to handle the fans?", he offered, glancing at the excited group still shouting my name.

"No.  It's fine. I just... I don't want to come off as ungrateful. They're excited to see me".

He nodded, though I could see the concern in his eyes.

Minas POV

Living Room

I sink into the soft cushions of the sofa, remote in hand, as the TV flickers on. It's been a long day, and I've been looking forward to finally catching the first episode of My Wife Is My Stalker. As I scroll through the menu, I hear soft footsteps behind me. Turning my head, I see my eldest son, Hyunjae, wandering into the living room, rubbing his eyes. He plops down beside me on the sofa, looking a bit troubled.
