Rachel and Harper woke up to the latest headline from ZAP, the most notorious entertainment gossip channel in the country, the same one that once came very close to destroying Rachel's career. A few years ago, when Hyejin mentioned to her male best friend that Rachel had gone out for dinner with Jeremy, ZAP took the story, twisted it into something dramatic, and nearly turned the world against her.
Since then, Rachel had always been careful, and she understood better than anyone how fast rumors could grow once ZAP decided to focus on them. It could ruin their career or uplift it, because no matter how bad, an exposure is still an exposure.
This morning, the headline is about her and Harper. ZAP had posted a photo taken at Incheon Airport, showing the two of them walking side by side, fingers linked in a gentle and familiar way, before getting into a black SUV that had been waiting for them.
