    The Star explained Aiden’s intentions in a calm tone. <Though he has gained abilities that stray far from the realm of mortals, he is still human.> While observing Aiden during CYB, the Star had concluded without a doubt—he was human. <The only reason he wields power beyond human limitations is because of the authority granted…

    It was a dream. Rowen could easily tell that he was dreaming. That was because—he couldn’t feel anything. There was no sense of his feet touching the ground. No feeling of oxygen circulating through his body when he inhaled. His vision was hazy, like he was peering through a dense fog, and there was nothing…

    With a dazed look, Rowen pressed his hand to his forehead. “Jeong Hangyeol…” His trembling lips parted as he murmured. “…must’ve been a member of Codess.” As I thought—Rowen had a similar reaction. When I first recalled the name Jeong Hangyeol, the immediate association in my mind had also been member of Codess. “That can’t be.”…

    Even as I kept up an expression of admiration throughout the shoot, a question kept circling in my mind. This song… is way too ordinary. I had only heard the beat vaguely, but somehow, it didn’t feel like a “Rowen” song. The quality wasn’t great. Of course, it wasn’t a bad song. But there’s a big difference…

    A few days later, I joined Rowen for the documentary shoot we had agreed to do together. ‘My heart’s pounding.’ Yeouido, Seoul. Filming began at Rowen’s home. I was inside the elevator of the high-end apartment where Rowen lived. A camera was pointed at me, and the PD asked me a question. “How are you…

    What are humans made of? Aiden pondered as he stared at the entangled cluster of lights before him. In Greek mythology, humans were shaped from clay, with Prometheus breathing life into them to complete their form. After the great flood, it was said that the surviving man and woman threw stones over their shoulders, and…

    I couldn’t believe my eyes. And for good reason—because the man who stepped out of Rowen’s car passenger seat was none other than Hamin. Most people wouldn’t have recognized him. Compared to the last time I saw him, his body was more muscular, his hair cut short, and his eyes hidden behind sunglasses. But he…

    “Eunyul, you’re here?” Rowen was sitting across the table with a soft smile. “Hello, sunbae….” I greeted him awkwardly, then bowed politely to the staff gathered in the meeting room. Rowen was just like always. I expected that. He was older than me by far and had years of experience in this industry. I never…

    If someone asked me what I thought of Rowen, I’d probably pretend to ponder it for a second before saying: the most perfectly crafted male idol. His range covered multiple positions, and from the very start, he had the skills to create his own music. From a purely musical perspective, Rowen might’ve been better off…

    Rowen was an artist who went to almost obsessive lengths to hide his personal life. That wasn’t common. While it was possible to keep some things under wraps at the time of debut, continued activity in the entertainment industry inevitably led to public exposure of family details or school anecdotes—whether one liked it or not.…
