Mask Slips

The morning sun filtered through the classroom windows as Polaris sat at her desk, idly tapping her pencil against her notebook. The atmosphere was lively, with students chatting and exchanging weekend stories. But there was an underlying buzz today, one that Polaris couldn’t ignore: Anne had officially enrolled in their school.She watched as Anne entered the classroom with her usual bright smile, her presence drawing attention almost instantly. Dressed impeccably in the school uniform, Anne waved cheerfully at a few students she had already befriended over the weekend. Her charm was undeniable—bubbly, warm, and magnetic. Yet, something about it felt off to Polaris. There was a nagging sensation in the pit of her stomach that she couldn’t shake.“Hey, Polaris!” Anne’s voice broke through her thoughts as she made her way toward Polaris’s desk, her smile beaming. “Mind if I sit with you today?”Polaris blinked, quickly nodding. “Sure, go ahead.” She shifted her bag to make space for An

Cracks shows

It had been two days since Anne officially joined their school, and Polaris could feel the subtle shift in the atmosphere. Anne was quickly becoming popular, her kind demeanor and charm winning over nearly everyone in the class. But Polaris, having caught a glimpse of the darker side of Anne, couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right. Anne wasn’t just here to fit in—she was here to manipulate her way to the top.Polaris sat at her desk in the middle of a history lesson, her mind drifting as she kept one eye on Anne, who sat at the front of the class, answering the teacher’s questions with a sugary sweetness that made Polaris’s skin crawl. Every time Anne smiled or laughed, it felt like a mask, hiding the true intent behind her eyes.After class, as they packed up their things, Hero approached Polaris with his usual carefree smile. “Hey, Polaris! You coming to lunch?”Polaris nodded, though her eyes flickered briefly to Anne, who was standing nearby, chatting with a group

Dinner

The Kyoto residence was bathed in the warm glow of soft lights as the grand dining table was set, exuding an air of elegance and tradition. The spacious room, lined with fine art and rich wood tones, hummed with polite conversation. Seated around the table were Hero, his grandfather Jinro, his cousins, and their guests for the evening—Anne and her parents, the Lien family.Anne’s father, a towering man with sharp eyes and a voice that commanded attention, sat straight-backed at the table. His hands rested on the gleaming surface of the table as he finished discussing business matters with Jinro.“As expected, the markets are looking promising for next quarter, especially with the new partnership. Consolidating our resources will only strengthen the company’s foundation,” Mr. Lien said, his tone serious yet calculated.Jinro nodded thoughtfully, stroking his chin. “Indeed. The partnership opens up several new avenues, especially with international ties. Diversifying our investments abr

Changes

A week had passed since that tense dinner at the Kyoto residence, and Polaris had done everything in her power to avoid both Hero and Sebastian. She couldn’t shake off the venom in Anne’s words, her threats still echoing in her mind like a shadow she couldn’t escape. Every time she spotted either of the boys in the hallway or caught a glimpse of them in class, she quickly turned away, choosing to stay under the radar, unnoticed.But today was different.It was her birthday, a day she kept to herself—like a secret she didn’t want anyone to know. Polaris had always hated the fuss, the attention, and besides, this year felt especially heavy without her mother. It was the first time she would celebrate it completely alone.The day dragged on, and when school finally let out, she slipped out unnoticed, blending into the crowd of students leaving the gates. She walked down to the small bakery near her apartment, the one her mother used to take her to when she was younger. The smell of fresh

Hospital

Polaris arrived home late that afternoon, feeling utterly drained. The week had been a blur of trying to avoid any unnecessary interactions at school and dealing with the lingering tension between her and the boys. Anne’s threat still echoed in her mind, but she tried to push it away, focusing on getting through each day.As she stepped into the large, quiet house, she was greeted by the familiar sight of the maids bustling around, finishing up their tasks for the evening. The warmth of the house was a stark contrast to the coldness she felt inside.One of the younger maids, Clara, noticed her as she set her bag down near the entrance. “Oh, Miss Polaris, you’re home!” she said with a cheerful smile. “You look exhausted. Long day?”Polaris smiled weakly, nodding. “Yeah, something like that.”Another maid, Eliza, joined in, wiping her hands on a towel as she approached. “You’ve been working too hard, dear. School and everything else… you need to take better care of yourself.”Polaris le

Why

Polaris walked down the familiar path to school, the morning sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. Despite her earlier resolve to avoid Anne, she was still on edge. The weight of everything that had happened in the past week hung heavy on her shoulders, but she tried to push the thoughts aside. She focused on getting through the day, but as she rounded the corner, a sleek black car pulled up beside her, cutting off her path.The window rolled down, revealing Anne’s impeccably made-up face. Her expression was one of forced sweetness that instantly set Polaris on high alert. “Polaris, darling! Get in. We need to talk.”Polaris hesitated but knew she had no real choice. The last thing she wanted was a scene, especially in public. She climbed into the backseat, feeling a twinge of anxiety as the car pulled away.“Where are we going?” she asked, trying to keep her tone casual.Anne smiled, a glint of something predatory in her eyes. “Just a little place that means a lot to you.”Pola

Unfolding

Polaris spent the next few days in a haze, the documents from Anne’s envelope weighing heavily on her mind. With each passing hour, she became increasingly determined to investigate the tangled web of deceit surrounding her parents’ deaths. She knew she couldn’t disclose her findings to anyone—not Hero, not Jinro, and certainly not Anne. This was her journey, and she needed to tread carefully.Each night, after everyone had settled into their routines, she would retreat to her room. The soft glow of her bedside lamp illuminated her workspace, where the documents lay spread out like pieces of a complex puzzle. She meticulously organized everything: the newspaper clippings, the letter to her mother, and the photographs. It felt like a clandestine operation, and the thrill of discovery fueled her determination.Her first course of action was to learn more about the allegations against Hero’s parents and the mysterious accident. She started with online research, diving into archives of ol

Half Truth

Polaris couldn’t shake the chilling conversation with Anne from her mind. Determination coursed through her veins as she continued to sift through the documents she had accumulated. Each evening, after school, she locked herself in her room, her laptop aglow with information that felt like fragmented pieces of a shattered mirror. She needed to find clarity in the chaos, to piece together the truth surrounding her parents’ deaths.One stormy afternoon, while flipping through the pages of old articles and insurance reports, a particular document caught her attention. It was a settlement agreement, signed by her father and various individuals tied to the construction project. The implications hit her like a punch to the gut: her father had paid off several witnesses and parties involved to keep the accident under wraps.The words blurred for a moment as she processed the gravity of what this meant. Her father had silenced those who could have spoken up, those who might have brought the t

Set Up

The following week was a whirlwind of preparation and anticipation. Polaris and Layla spent countless hours fine-tuning their presentation for the journalist. They collected their documents, compiled timelines, and prepared a narrative that would unravel the tangled web of corruption her father had woven.Finally, the day arrived. They met at a cozy coffee shop, the air filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the soft murmur of conversations around them. Polaris’s heart raced as she spotted Michael Harris, the investigative journalist known for his fearless approach to uncovering corporate wrongdoings. With a reputation for taking down powerful figures, he was the right person to help them expose the truth.“Thanks for meeting with us, Mr. Harris,” Polaris said, trying to keep her voice steady as they settled into a corner table.“Call me Michael,” he replied, his eyes sharp and attentive. “I understand you have something important to share.”Polaris glanced at Layla,

Break In

As Polaris returned to the mansion, a heavy weight hung over her shoulders. The revelations she had uncovered weighed on her mind, but she knew she couldn’t share them with anyone—not yet. The mansion felt different, almost suffocating, as she walked through the grand hallways that echoed with memories.She spotted Hero standing near the entrance, his brows furrowed in concern as he caught her eye. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Polaris turned and hurried toward the staircase, her heart racing.“Polaris!” Hero called after her, but she didn’t look back.Once in the sanctuary of her room, she slammed the door behind her, leaning against it as if it could shield her from the world outside. The familiar comfort of her bed beckoned, and she collapsed onto it, burying her face in the pillows. She wanted to scream, to cry, to let out the tumult of emotions swirling within her, but all she could do was lie there in silence.Minutes passed, and just as she beg
