General perspective

It was a typical day for Chaeyoung and her fellow Blackpink members, rehearsing for their upcoming tour and preparing for various appearances. As they took a short break, Rosé found herself sitting with Lisa, their backs against a mirrored wall.

Lisa, ever perceptive, noticed the exhaustion in Rosé's eyes. "You look tired, Chae," she remarked, concern lacing her voice.

Rosé sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Yeah, Lisa. I am tired, not of our music or the performances, but of the constant drama and scrutiny that comes with this life."

Lisa nodded in understanding. Being an idol wasn't all glitz and glamour; it came with its fair share of challenges and hardships. "I get what you mean, Rosie. It can be overwhelming."

Rosé leaned her head back against the wall, staring up at the ceiling. "Sometimes, I just wish I could have a break from it all. To be a normal person for a while, you know?"

Lisa placed a comforting hand on Rosé's shoulder. "You're not alone in feeling that way, Rosie. We all have our moments of doubt and exhaustion. But remember, we're here for you, and we'll get through this together."

Rosé managed a small smile, appreciating Lisa's support. "Thanks, Li. I don't know what I'd do without you guys."

As they returned to their rehearsals, Rosé's heart felt a bit lighter, knowing that she had friends and fellow members who understood her struggles and were there to support her through the challenges of their idol life.

Rosé's Perspective

The relentless pace of Seoul's vibrant city life had become Rosé's daily reality. As a member of the internationally renowned K-pop group Blackpink, her life was a whirlwind of schedules, rehearsals, and the constant scrutiny of the media. Rosé cherished her fans, known as "Blinks," but the weight of idol life was beginning to take its toll.

One evening, after an exhausting rehearsal, Rosé decided she needed a break from the spotlight. She had been mulling over an idea for a while, and tonight, it crystallized into a decision.

Sitting in her cozy apartment, she picked up her phone and gazed at the Instagram icon. Her official account was followed by millions, each follower hungry for a glimpse into her glamorous life. She appreciated their support, but she longed for something more personal. She craved a connection with someone who saw her for who she was beyond the fame, someone who could simply know her as Roseanne.

Creating a new Instagram account was surprisingly straightforward. She selected a pseudonym that bore a resemblance to her real name but retained a sense of anonymity - "Roseanne26." This new identity would be her sanctuary, a place where she could be herself without the expectations that came with her celebrity status.

As she scrolled through her Instagram feed, she came across a profile that caught her eye. The user's username was "reader19" and her profile picture showed her holding a Blackpink album. Rosé smiled, feeling an instant connection to this fan. She decided to send the first message.

"Hey there! This is Roseanne, a fellow K-pop and music enthusiast. I thought it'd be fun to connect with people who share my passion, so I created this account. Let's chat about our favorite songs, artists, and anything else that tickles our fancy! 😊"

She hit the send button, her heart beating with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. This was her chance to experience a taste of normal life, to engage in conversations that transcended her status as a K-pop idol.

Yu's Perspective

Yu, a diligent student with a deep love for music, had always admired Rosé from a distance. Yu real name remained a closely guarded secret, shared only with a select few trusted friends. Yu had followed Blackpink's journey from the beginning, attending concerts whenever possible and eagerly keeping up with the group's social media updates.

One evening, as Yu scrolled through Instagram, a notification appeared - a message from someone named "Roseanne26." The message instantly piqued her curiosity, and she tapped it to read:

"Hey there! This is Roseanne, a fellow K-pop and music enthusiast. I thought it'd be fun to connect with people who share my passion, so I created this account. Let's chat about our favorite songs, artists, and anything else that tickles our fancy! 😊"

Yu was intrigued. Receiving a message from someone with such a genuine love for music was a rare occurrence. She decided to reply, starting a conversation with the mysterious Roseanne26.

Yu quickly replied, her excitement evident in her words.

Reader19: "Hi! 😄 I can't believe you're messaging me. I'm a huge fan of Blackpink, and I'm so excited to chat with you!"

Rosé couldn't help but smile at the enthusiasm in the "reader19's" message. She was fully aware that she hadn't revealed her true identity yet.

Rosé: "Haha, well, it's nice to meet you, reader. 😉 I'm just Roseanne, a college student from Korea, 26 years old. What about you?"

Reader: "I'm @Reader19, 23-year-old girl who's dreaming of visiting South Korea someday and, of course, seeing my favorite idol group, Blackpink! 😊"

Rosé found herself charmed by the "reader19's" response, and a part of her felt a twinge of guilt for not revealing her true identity. Nevertheless, she continued the conversation, eager to connect with someone who shared her passion for music.

Rosé: "South Korea is an amazing place, and Blackpink loves their fans here. I hope your dream comes true one day! What do you love most about Blackpink?"

Reader19: "Everything! Their music, their energy, their style... I can't pick just one thing. But if I had to choose, I'd say their dedication to their craft and their connection with their fans."

Rosé couldn't help but feel a sense of connection with "reader19." Despite the anonymity, they shared a genuine love for Blackpink and a desire to connect with others who felt the same way.

Rosé: "I agree with you. The bond between idols and fans is something special. If you ever make it to Korea, let me know. Maybe we can grab a coffee and chat about our favorite group! 😄"

Reader19: "That would be a dream come true! Thank you, Roseanne. You're so kind. 😊"

Rosé grinned at the mention of her fake name, Roseanne. She had a feeling that this secret Instagram account was going to be her escape from the pressures of idol life and a chance to connect with fans like "reader19" on a more personal level.

With that simple response, the connection between two souls began to take shape, each unaware of the secret that would eventually bind them together in the coming weeks.

Shared Perspective

Over the course of one week, Rosé and Yu exchanged messages that flowed seamlessly. They discussed K-pop in-depth, analyzing the latest releases and sharing their insights into the industry. It was a refreshing change for Rosé, engaging in conversations that ventured beyond her own music career. For Yu, it was a golden opportunity to connect with someone who shared their passion.

As the days passed, their conversations evolved, delving into more personal territory. They opened up about their dreams, insecurities, and the challenges they faced in their respective lives. A unique bond formed between them, transcending the boundaries of a simple online friendship.

Rosé cherished these exchanges. It was her sanctuary, a place where she could be her authentic self without the weight of fame. She shared her doubts and fears, desires and aspirations, all under the guise of Roseanne26. In the process, she found herself drawn to Reader19, captivated by their kindness and understanding.

Despite their growing connection, a barrier remained. Rosé had asked for a picture once, wanting to put a face to the name, but Yu politely declined, expressing concerns about online privacy. Rosé respected their decision; after all, she couldn't reveal her true identity either. It was a secret she guarded fervently, well aware that exposing it could jeopardize the fragile bond they had developed.

As their bond deepened, Rosé's feelings for Reader19 intensified a strong bond. She yearned to see her, to be with her, even if it meant taking a risk that could change everything.
