Touch your Heart

I.

IZ*ONE a group that has rang the bell of Korea for so many times, they were quite popular locally and internationally. They had waves after waves of sensational songs that brought everyone in the world. It was indeed a good run for the group until a situation broke out that caused everyone's heart to bear pain, although it was already expected from the start, from the creation, from the time of production of the group, still their goodbye towards their fans are far more hurtful than one can think of, especially if that person, a fan for a long time, was on their side from the beginning of everything. IZ*ONE had their era, one of the most troubling, the scariest group to be against every promotion and for music awards.

Who would've thought that such great times would come to an end in just a blink of an eye, adding the situation where there was a great rumbling in the Korean producing system of the group which caused a large uproar not just in Korea, but in the whole world. Every loving fan watched as the celebrities they looked up to were mentioned, they couldn't bring themselves to blame the celebrities as it was never their intention for such a thing to happen, it was just too sudden and everyone could not do anything but to wish for the best for their idol. Painful as it was as they parted ways from the music industry, people somehow managed to cope with it, especially as the years passed by.

Ever since the production of the group, people already found their idol to look up to and that doesn't stop the people from also finding a person to hate. Hyewon is one of the most known members that has been hated ever since the creation of the group. People claim that Hyewon lacks in everything, stage presence, dancing, singing, and rapping, anything that is required for a person to be complemented under the category of korean idol.

Ever since the disbandment of her group, Hyewon has decided to join the industry of celebrities once more, however in different circumstances. Despite being a former member of IZ*ONE, Hyewon was slowly making a name for herself in the industry-- that she once left-- as an actress. She was cast for various web series which helped her gain more popularity however it is still not enough to bring her back to the top of the industry. Moreover, despite having a good performance every time, people will still and always find a way to hate on her at any point which didn't help her at all from gaining popularity.

It has been years since the heart wrenching news was broken out to everyone in the world. Every member is doing fine, having a steady life by either continuing their reign they have or living the life of their own, and somehow and unfortunately Hyewon is the only one left on edge, even after all with how great she is, some people stick to the past and always bring it up which is also enough as a reason for her career to decline.

A television is left running in the background and the noises are resonating around the well lit room, the sun is glaring through windows but is barely enough to burn the skin, thanks to the translucent curtain by the windows. The constant rattling of bag of chips along with loud crunches are a little deafening. A woman is on the couch, slouching, seemingly comfortable enough while continuously consuming the bite after bite of the chips she has in her hands, a small amount of crumbs seem to fall off of her without knowing as her eyes are focused on the screen in front of her.

In just a matter of seconds the comfortable moment she is under comes to a halt when her manager opens the door and walks to her shouting for her name as soon as they recognize how she is doing.

"Hyewon!" Hyewon composes herself in an instant brought by the surprise visit and tone from her manager. In haste, she put the chips on the table where her feet were resting earlier before the commotion of the day. The manager could only sigh at the sight of her, hands on the temple of his head, rubbing it in a slow manner.
