That night, Minjae was finally back in his apartment. When he arrived back, the city outside his window had already begun to dim. He had taken a quick shower after returning from the script reading, changed into his usual loose sweater and sweatpants, and settled into his usual spot on the couch.
A warm drink sat untouched on the coffee table beside him, already losing its heat as Minjae took his time to just lay down.
He was waiting for the time.
The time when Episodes 13 and 14 of The Star's Secret will be airing.
After a few minutes of waiting, the familiar opening sequence played on his television. The internet lit up again. As usual, hashtags were already trending hours before the episode.

Minjae reached for the remote and turned up the volume.
