DAWN was finally inside the venue, the shimmering lights of the NTV MVAs casting a spotlight on every attendee. 

They walked through a sea of celebrities, their polished shoes clicking against the glossy floor. 

"Look, some of them are staring at us," Jisung muttered, glancing around.

Sure enough, a few people were stealing glances their way. Some looked at them with curiosity, while others seemed to be sizing them up. 

A group of young women near the entrance were whispering to each other, occasionally pointing at DAWN.

"They're handsome," one of them said, her voice carrying over the noise. "For Asian people, I mean."

Ren's eyebrows shot up. He exchanged a quick glance with June, who looked equally bewildered.

"Did she just say—" Ren began, but Casper interrupted him with a wave of his hand, forcing a grin.

"Let it go," Casper muttered, though his jaw was clenched. "It's not worth it."
