CHAPTER 154: AN AQUINN POST

As I’ve noticed, every rising star is, in the terms of the internet, ’always on the grind.’

They try to capture and maintain their popularity through appearances on popular TV shows. They give exciting updates about their upcoming projects.

They maintain a level of thrill, even if they can’t outright discuss their projects.

But we have seen none of that with The Quinn.

He made a guest appearance on The Color Spectrum and in that game, Heresy of the Fallen World.

But... that’s it?

There weren’t any interviews, photoshoots, or anything else in the popular media.

What happened?

I thought he would get a lot of roles after his brilliant performance in BSPH. I know it hasn’t been long, but there should have been some news.

What about films? Dramas?

Nothing?

The thought of seeing him on the big screen excites me even now. Dramas and films are different, no matter what.

But not only has there been no news, his feud with Weisin also concerns me.

I have never seen an actor so openly fighting someone (literally).

Was he always like this? Or has the industry broken a promising actor right after he debuted?

Just wanted to know your thoughts.

Yun-Ha sighed.

The poster had made some good points.

It was indeed odd that there hadn’t been much news about an actor as popular as Averie Quinn Auclair.

"Usually, there would be paparazzi after someone like him."

The lounging girl read the comments.

- He did do some filming in Japan.

- But that was for promoting the show.

- Yeah, he made cameos, but that wasn’t anything significant. I did see his livestream. He was as crazy as ever.

- I liked his role in the game.

- For those of us that don’t play video games, it wasn’t anything to get excited over. Although he was cool...

- I made my brother play and watched as he got beaten by The Quinn. It was so beautiful, I couldn’t stop shaking.

- We don’t even see his pics on here.

- What are the paparazzi doing? Do your job, damnit. Snap a pic while he is flexing his muscles.

"That would be nice," whispered Yun-Ha.

Unlike the fans online, she wasn’t as worried about the matter.

"Sis did say they are filming in the UK."

She smiled widely.

Just having a general knowledge of what part of the world they were in made her feel like royalty.

She didn’t have to worry, unlike the peasants crying over the silence of their lord and savior.

"Still, what are they filming?"

That was one thing her sister hadn’t disclosed, and no amount of begging could pry it out of her.

Her parents had tried to guilt-trip her into spilling the beans, but like a big girl, Min-Ha would not relent.

She only said that the role wasn’t small.

Yun-Ha knew the significance of the knowledge she carried, and although she wanted to show a glimmer of hope to her fellows, she kept her mouth shut.

’If he doesn’t want to tell everyone yet, I shouldn’t either.’

Suddenly, her lips curled up.

’When the news gets out, won’t it become a big deal?’

For many, Averie Quinn Auclair was their religion.

His word was gospel. His body was bread. His blood was wine. And his curses were sermons.

And with the lack of religion came despair.

- Life is meaningless.

The direction that their actor, their religion, showed them had suddenly gone missing.

And it brought uncertainty.

- What I wouldn’t give for a secret shot of his.

They had been mercilessly starved, and no amount of anything could quench the thirst.

Yun-Ha refreshed the page.

And suddenly, like a shooting star, a post went up on the AQuinn forum, which had been stale for quite some time.

’I found Averie Quinn Auclair at a police station in England.’

"Huh?"

Yun-Ha tilted her head and rotated her phone, but the title did not change.

"What is this nonsense?"

She turned to the meat of the post.

So, I work at a startup in Birmingham (don’t judge me), and while visiting the police station for a human liver I found on the road (not a big deal, you see stuff while living in Birmingham), I saw our lovely actor in person.

He was with a few older men (who looked British, of course) and was talking to a detective.

I was so starstruck that I just watched him from a distance.

He was so hot, by the way.

But I digress!

Anyway, while I was lurking in the shadows and admiring him, they began filming!

Can you believe it? The three guys took out their cameras and began filming right there!

It was very short, but it was so exciting! I almost fainted.

The Quinn was showing so much attitude in front of the camera, I thought he would come up to me and ask for my number while slapping me in the face.

"That’s very normal, of course," said Yun-Ha, nodding her head.

For a long minute, she read the post.

After they stopped filming, I followed him and found his agent (yes, the one in the livestream) waiting for him.

It looked like she was upset at him for something. I didn’t like how she was yelling at him, but she is the only one who can keep him away from causing trouble, so I forgive her!

Unfortunately, a police officer approached me, and I couldn’t see where they went or anything else.

Yun-Ha frowned.

"Well, they did go to the UK." She licked her lips. "Could it be true?"

The post quickly gained traction on the forum.

- This is bait, isn’t it?

- Why would he need to go to a police station in the UK?

- Did he migrate to the UK because his home address got leaked?

- Why was he there? Did someone break into his house or something?

- It must be one of you degenerates.

Most did not believe the post, but those who did soon had their perceptions shattered.

Another post, an article, went up.
