Chapter 6
I methodically prepared for my move abroad, cutting myself off from anything Lennon–related. But Echo Summer’s rise was impossible to ignore.
They nailed their studio sessions and dropped their debut album to serious buzz. Lennon, with his killer voice and perfect face, instantly collected an army of obsessed fangirls.]
Meanwhile, the “Lennina” ship between him and Nina exploded online. As for why Nina “quit” then magically “returned“-well, that convenient little detail got swept under the rug.[]
Bottom line: the band blew up, and Nina transformed into campus royalty. She even started streaming on TikTok, all sweet smiles and innocent doe eyes, playing up this whole “authentic, no–filter” persona.[]
“Being the only girl in the band is honestly the best–I’m totally spoiled! The guys take such good care of me~“]
Chat started getting thirsty:[]
“Which guy’s your fave tho??“]
She giggled behind her hands:]
“Ohmygod what kind of question is that? I’m greedy–why choose when I can have them all? Hehe~“]
When people started shipping her with Lennon, she went full blushing maiden:[]
“Stop it, you guys! How am I supposed to look at Lennon with a straight face now? I mean, he’s gorgeous, so obviously I get flustered around him!”
Perfect deflection. Denying it while feeding the fantasy.
Then someone dropped:
“Doesn’t Lennon have a girlfriend though?”
Nina’s eyes lit up like she’d struck gossip gold, leaning in conspiratorially:[]
“Ooh, can I spill? Okay, while Lennon’s not here… let me give you guys some tea.“[]
“Ex–girlfriend. They’re totally done.“[
“What was she like??” the chat exploded.]
“Hmm… how do I put this…” Nina scrunched her face like she was choosing her words carefully.]
“You guys know Lennon’s just this sunny, lovable guy, right? Well, she was… kinda the opposite. Super paranoid? Like, constantly thinking people were trying to steal him.“]
“It was honestly exhausting. I felt so bad for Lennon sometimes.“]]
She sighed dramatically:]
And get this–she actually saw ME as a threat! Can you believe it? I literally quit the band to avoid drama. Couldn’t even be in the same room as Lennon.“]

Chapter 6
“He felt so guilty about it that he waited outside my dorm for three hours straight, brought me this limited edition blind box I’d been wanting forever. That’s the only reason I came back–felt bad leaving everyone hanging, you know?“]
Her “heartfelt” confession set the comments on fire:[]
[Poor Nina dealing with that psycho ex!)
[Nina’s too pure, sacrificing herself for the band] []
[That girl sounds unhinged. Toxic much? |
【Basic bitch energy! No wonder he dumped her] []
Then someone actually dug up old photos of me and Lennon–except mine had been deliberately edited to look awful.[]
【Yikes, she’s not just basic, she’s straight–up ugly. How did Lennon even?] []
【Did she have dirt on him or something?]||
【Heard they were childhood friends, family pressure situation]
Jesus, I need eye bleach
Watching the hate pile up, Nina quickly played peacekeeper:
“Okay babies, let’s not drag some random person! Don’t go digging up old stuff–she’s just a regular girl. Let’s focus on our music instead, okay?”
