— "HOLY—SNOW CROSS IS BACK?!"— "My childhood idol. He was my entire world, and now he's really here again."— "I just saw a picture of him… How the hell does he look even better than before?"— "Bro, he just walked into a salon and came out a main character."— "If he still has his insane acting skills, I'm dropping all my other favs."

Fans started digging up his old works, rewatching the movies and dramas that made him a legend. Within hours, clips of his past performances resurfaced, trending worldwide.

Even the media couldn't ignore the sudden storm he created. TV segments debated whether he could reclaim his spot in the industry, while entertainment blogs speculated on the impact his return would have.

Snow Cross wasn't just back—he was dominating headlines again.

The First Day of Shooting

The set of Red Twilight was buzzing with excitement. Everyone had heard the news. Snow Cross was officially returning to the screen.

When Snow walked in, the chatter died down for a split second before exploding into hushed murmurs.

"He's even more charismatic in real life…"

"Damn, I expected him to look good, but this is unreal."

"How is he still this popular after disappearing for ten years?"

Even the crew members, seasoned professionals who had seen countless stars, found themselves stealing glances.

Ryan grinned as he strolled up to Snow. "Well, look at you, stealing the spotlight like it's second nature. I'd almost forgotten how annoying you could be."

Snow smirked. "You mean how charming I am?"

Ryan scoffed. "Charming, my ass. You're just lucky you're still this good-looking." He leaned in, lowering his voice. "You sure you still remember how to act? Or do I need to give you a refresher course?"

Snow chuckled. "Worried I'll outshine you?"

Ryan laughed, throwing an arm around him. "Oh, I know you will. But that won't stop me from teasing you about it."

Liam, the male lead, observed the scene from afar, his expression unreadable. Even after a decade, Snow naturally drew people in. He wasn't just making a comeback—he was reclaiming his place.

Meanwhile, Aria kept her distance, pretending to scroll through her phone, but her heart was racing.

'Stay calm. Stay professional.'

She had spent years perfecting her cold and composed image. But the moment she had locked eyes with Snow earlier, her mind had gone blank.

He wasn't the same boy she used to admire. He was a man now—more mature, more confident, more breathtaking than ever.

She took a deep breath, gripping her phone tighter. 'He doesn't need to know. He can't know.'

Snow glanced her way, his gaze curious. But before he could say anything, she turned on her heels and walked away, forcing herself to ignore the fluttering in her chest.

Ryan, of course, noticed. He elbowed Snow with a sly grin. "Looks like someone's avoiding you. What, did you break her heart or something?"

Snow raised an eyebrow. "I barely know her."

Ryan chuckled. "Exactly. That's the problem."

Snow sighed. He hadn't even started filming yet, and already, the drama was unfolding.
