“I first saw her on a screen.
Hana Lee — the energetic livestream host from Lumine Cosmetics who could sell literally anything with a smile. People loved her because she was loud, funny, and always full of energy.
But one night, during a live broadcast for a new beauty product, everything changed.
Halfway through the stream, lab results suddenly appeared on her phone. The product she was promoting was dangerous.
Everyone expected her to ignore it.
Instead, she looked straight into the camera and exposed the company live.
By the next morning, she lost her job.
A week later, she arrived in our village with one suitcase, dark circles under her eyes, and a fake smile that looked painful to hold.
She said she came here to find peace and become healthy again.
I didn’t care.
At least, that’s what I told myself.
Then the village chief forced me to let her stay in my house because there were no empty rooms left.
That night, I found her sitting alone on the dark kitchen floor.
She wasn’t crying… just staring into space like she was tired of something I couldn’t see.
And the moment she noticed me, she smiled immediately — the same bright smile everyone knew.
But for the first time, it felt fake.”
