Competition day presentation in the school hall. The collaborative piece is displayed on a central board under modest spotlights. Students gather around. The artwork combines Yerin's emotional Starlight-like eye language with Woojin's preci

Ms. Park studies the collaborative piece closely. Yerin and Woojin stand a few steps away, not touching, hyper-aware of each other.

Ms. Park announces the winners from the stage. Yerin and Woojin react together. The crowd claps, Hana louder than anyone.

Backstage after the award. Yerin holds the small trophy and checks her phone while Woojin stands nearby, pretending to look at the floor display posters.

Yerin's phone shows a new @CriticNotHater comment under the latest Starlight Boy chapter on fictional StarPanel. The comment begins as a confession. Woojin remains nearby but not in the phone close-up.

A symbolic reading panel. Yerin stands still while the confession comment appears as floating text boxes around her. Woojin is a quiet silhouette in the background, waiting.

The comment ends with Woojin retiring the account and asking to tell her directly. Yerin raises her eyes to him.

The tension breaks into banter. Yerin steps closer; Woojin relaxes enough to answer like himself.

Backstage hallway with afternoon light. Yerin finally laughs without guarding herself. Woojin smiles openly but small. The trophy and sketchbook remain visible.

Their agreement lands as something more than art feedback. The school hallway behind them is quiet after the competition.

That night in Yerin's bedroom workspace. She prepares the next Starlight Boy chapter and writes an author's note. Fictional StarPanel interface, no real brands.

Woojin at his own desk at night, reading Yerin's author's note on fictional StarPanel. His room is simple, with sketchbooks stacked neatly. He replies from a new account.

Split composition showing Yerin in her room receiving Woojin's reply and Woojin in his room after sending it. Both are lit by their screens, smiling privately. The feeling is tender but still competitive.
