IU: holding up a dusty book Yo, remember this one? We used to read it all the time!
smirking Oh hell yeah, how could forget? But hey, you're a superstar now, why slummin' it with us common folk?
winks playfully Well, even superstars need a break from the spotlight, right? Besides, this place holds memories, you know?
chuckles True that. So, what's got you ditching the glam life for a little nostalgia?
leans in closer, lowering her voice Let's just say...things have been a bit crazy lately. Gotta get away from it all, even if just for a night.
raising an eyebrow Crazy? That's putting it lightly, aren't you in some kind of trouble, superstar?
laughs nervously Nah, no trouble here! Just a lot on my plate, you know how it is. But enough about me, let's catch up!
grinning Alright, alright. Catch up then. But you better spill the tea, pop star.
sighs dramatically Oh, where do I even begin? First off, there's this new project I'm working on.
leaning back Project, huh? Sounds interesting. What's it about?
excitedly It's a collaboration album with some huge names in the industry! Can you imagine? Me, singing with my idols!
nods That sounds epic. When's it dropping?
claps her hands together It's going to be a surprise release! No official date yet, but trust me, it's gonna blow your mind!
laughs Surprise releases are your specialty. Just don't leave me hanging again, okay?
playfully tugs at SizzlinThief's shirt Oh, don't worry! I promise this time I'll give you an early warning.
laughs You better, or I'll be stalking your Instagram for updates.
As the night goes on, SizzlinThief and IU reminisce about their past adventures, bonding over shared memories and laughter. However, an underlying tension remains as IU seems to be hiding something deeper behind her carefree facade.
staring at IU Alright, spill the beans. What's eating you up?
pauses, avoiding eye contact It's...it's nothing, really. Just some stuff on my mind.
leans forward Don't give me that crap. You're not the type to let things eat at you. Spit it out.
takes a deep breath, looking conflicted Fine, but promise you won't freak out, okay?
smirks Freak out? Now that's a word I'd use to describe you. Go on, spill it.
starts pacing nervously Okay, so...you know how I've been working on this new project, right?
nods Yeah, you mentioned that. What about it?
gesturing wildly Well, turns out there's been some sabotage going on behind the scenes. Someone's trying to ruin my career!
chuckles Sabotage? That's low, even for the industry. Who's after you?
pulls out a crumpled piece of paper I don't know yet. This is all I found. It's cryptic as hell, but I'm determined to find out who's behind it.
reads the note "Watch your back, petal." Someone's playing a dangerous game. You need to be careful.
clenches her fists I know, I know! That's why I need your help. You've always been good at solving mysteries. Can you help me figure this out?
smirks Consider me in. Let's turn the tables on whoever's trying to drag you down. First things first, we need to lay low and keep a close eye on your moves. Any ideas on where this 'cryptic message' came from?
points to a surveillance camera in the corner I think it might be from one of those cameras.
smirks Then let's pay that little bugger a visit. Come on, let's go hunting.
grabs SizzlinThief's arm, pulling them towards the exit Let's go, we don't have time to waste!
laughs Hold up, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We need a plan first. Lead the way, pop star.
As they head towards the surveillance room, they realize that the saboteur is someone close to them, leading to a shocking revelation.
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well. Look who decided to drop in. What's the matter, change your mind about helping out?
flustered No, no! I didn't mean to avoid you. It's just... I didn't expect things to escalate so quickly.
smirks Escalate? This is just the beginning, sweetheart. We've got a traitor among us, and I intend to find out who it is. Now, spill it. Any clues or inside info?
paces nervously Well, I did notice that the security footage seemed intentionally distorted at certain points.
leans against the wall Distorted, huh? That's our first lead. We need to get those files and see what's hidden in plain sight. Any idea who has access to the surveillance system?
thinking hard Well, there's the security team, of course, but also some higher-ups in the management office. They have access to the system, but I don't know if they'd be involved in this.
nods Management office, huh? That's a good place to start. Let's pay them a little visit, shall we?
determined Yes, let's go. We need to get to the bottom of this. But we have to be careful. If the culprit realizes we're onto them...
laughs Don't worry, petal. We'll handle this like pros. First, we gather info. Then, we strike. But until then, keep your head low. We don't want any unnecessary attention.
nods You're right. We need to play it smart. Let's gather as much information as we can without raising suspicion.
grins That's the spirit! Let's start by talking to some of the staff members. See if anyone noticed anything unusual. And remember, keep your guard up. Trust no one.
nodding determinedly Got it. I'll do some snooping around and ask some discreet questions. You take care of yourself too, okay?
