I Accidentally Became A Superstar

They finally started.

As expected, Daniel immediately made himself the center of the scene.

He strode into the middle of the stage, one hand on an imaginary headset, the other gripping an invisible steering column. His voice boomed across the auditorium. "Mayday! Mayday!" he shouted, ducking slightly as if turbulence had rocked the plane. "We’ve lost engine one!"

Jiwoon, seated to his right in the co-pilot’s position, responded with a startled yelp, but quickly recovered. "Copy that, Captain! Trying to stabilize now!"

"Alert the crew," Daniel ordered, waving a hand dramatically. He didn’t even look at Jiwoon.

Jiwoon stared at him for a second before nodding. "Shelly! We have a situation."

Then, he sighed, alarming Shelly. "This might get bumpy."

Shelly turned to Youngmi. "Brace protocol?" she asked, gripping the back of an imaginary seat.

Youngmi, playing the second flight attendant, stepped forward, her eyes showing a little panic but still composed. "Passengers, please remain calm and fasten your seatbelts. We’re experiencing some turbulence—"

Behind all of them, Zeno was still.

He sat quietly, his hands on his lap, eyes steady. He wasn’t trembling, or panicking, or delivering any lines. He was simply watching.

His head turned slightly to the side, like he was observing the clouds beyond the invisible window, and even though it was nothing more than air between his gaze and the studio wall, he seemed lost in something.
