They called it a school recital.

But for your daughter, it was the moment fate cleared its throat—

and destiny prepared to applaud.

Scene 1: The Invitation

The school sent a golden envelope.

Annual Spring Recital – Parents Welcome

Special Performance Slot Reserved: Aahana Min Yoongi.

You looked up from the card, shocked.

“We never signed her up,” you said.

Yoongi’s jaw tightened.

“Someone did.”

And the note inside confirmed it:

“Let her sing. I promise the world will listen.

— R”

Scene 2: The Choice

Yoongi wanted to pull her out. Cancel it.

But Aahana stood in her pajamas, holding her teddy bear.

“Why is everyone scared when I’m just happy to sing?”

Her eyes. Your strength. His soul.

Yoongi crouched down, his voice soft.

“Because your voice is powerful, princess. And power makes people greedy.”

She touched his cheek.

“Then stay close so no one takes it from me.”

You knew, in that moment, you couldn’t protect her from the world.

Only teach her to survive it.

Scene 3: The Performance

The hall was packed.

Parents, children, teachers.

And someone else…

masked in the crowd. Watching.

The curtain rose.

Aahana stepped out in a simple white dress, a red ribbon in her hair.

No fear. Just magic.

She sang.

Not a children’s song.

But an old Hindi lullaby—blended with Korean harmony.

A song that spoke of loss, hope, and rebirth.

The entire room stilled.

Phones were dropped.

Tears were shed.

Time froze.

Even Raayan, hidden near the back, looked shaken.

“She’s not just gifted,” he murmured.

“She’s legend.”

Scene 4: The Aftermath

Articles flooded online within hours.

“A Star is Born: Idol Yoongi’s Daughter Stuns at Recital”

“Voice Like Velvet, Soul Like Fire”

“Industry Titans Watching the Youngest Prodigy”

Yoongi smashed his phone.

“This was a setup.”

You picked up the tablet and scrolled down.

The last headline chilled you:

“Secret Label ‘Legacy’ Offers Multi-Million Contract to Idol Child”

Aahana’s face was splashed everywhere.

And at the end of the article—Raayan’s name.

Scene 5: The Letter

Later that night, Yoongi found an envelope slipped into your gate.

One line, handwritten:

“The world knows now. What will you do—run again, or rise with her?”

---

Ending Scene: The Stage is Set

Aahana fell asleep in your arms, humming.

Yoongi stood by the window, his voice low.

“They want her. Every single one of them.”

You answered with steel in your voice.

“Then let them want. But no one gets her without going through us.”

Outside, the cameras waited.

And so did the legacy.
