Shadows Of Stardom

Chapter 41

The girls had chosen to hang out here, and I felt a genuine sense of relief. The idea of being stuck in my room, just staring at the walls, felt suffocating. I couldn’t help but wonder what I would do when Taehyung went on his world tour, which was just around the corner.

Surprisingly, San was home too, but I assumed he would spend most of his time sleeping. I wasn’t going to bother him to join us for our K-drama marathon. The dark circles under his eyes indicated he needed rest. He could be such a dull guy sometimes, always so serious; I wished he would loosen up and have some fun, but it was obvious that today wasn’t the day for him.

“Next episode!” Lisa shouted, her eyes shining with excitement as she pressed the button on the remote. She was a total K-drama enthusiast, and nothing could pull her away from her favorite shows.

We were all glued to the screen, our hearts racing as the story unfolded. The show we were watching, "Boyhood," had us completely captivated. I could feel the tension drawing us in, with drama spilling over in every scene.

“OMG, the guy has returned!” Rosé exclaimed dramatically. She flopped back onto the bed, her theatrical flair making us all laugh. Her energy was contagious, and I couldn’t help but smile as she acted like the star of the show.

"I'm going to get some water," Jisoo announced as she jumped off the bed and hurried out of the room, her excitement infectious.

"And don't forget the popcorn when you come back!" Rosé called after her, and Jisoo nodded as she rushed out the door.

"Oh my gosh, I can't wait... let's just start without her!" Lisa complained, tapping her fingers impatiently on her knee. It felt like an eternity as we waited, but I couldn't shake the curiosity about why Jisoo was taking so long. Driven by my own cravings, I decided to get some snacks before they all vanished into Rosé's grasp.

As I headed to the kitchen, the sound of our laughter faded away. I opened the door and stopped in my tracks. There, in the middle of the kitchen, was San. My breath caught in my throat as I saw him—his back to me, and he was... KISSING Jisoo. My heart raced in disbelief as I stood there, frozen.

—his hands exploring her body, her back pressed against the fridge, and her fingers tangled in his hair. San's strong hands held her waist as he drew her closer, his muscular frame pressing against her. He left a trail of fiery kisses down her neck, his breath likely warm against her skin. Jisoo's hands roamed over his chiseled torso, feeling his abs tighten under her touch. The kitchen walls did little to muffle the sounds of Jisoo's eager moans and my brother's gasps.

“Wow, my eyes...” I murmured to myself, struggling to comprehend what I was witnessing. This was more than just a kiss; they were completely lost in each other. I tried to look away, but my body wouldn’t cooperate.

As San pulled back, I could see the breathlessness on their faces. “We shouldn’t do this, princess,” he said, his voice deep and husky, sending shivers down my spine. He had never sounded like that before.

Princess?

But Jisoo, always bold, replied breathlessly, “We should.” Before I could fully grasp her words, she pressed her lips against his again, and I watched as San's hands began to move upward, gripping the hem of her dress. My heart sank.

“Damn...” I whispered, still frozen by the scene unfolding in front of me. I wasn’t watching out of inappropriate curiosity—I was in a state of complete shock. Jin had mentioned seeing them kiss, and I had dismissed it as a fleeting moment. But this? This was something else entirely.
