Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 – IGNITE

The screen turned black.

Then a single flame appeared—flickering softly.

A heartbeat thumped once.

Twice.

Then the beat dropped.

IGNITE – SOLARIA's First MV – Premiered 12:00 KST

---

The music video was not a comeback.

It was a declaration of war.

Dark alleyways. Blinding lights.

Chains snapping. Walls shattering.

Each member emerged from the shadows of a burning city, walking through flames like gods who had chosen to bleed.

"You tried to bury us…"

"…but we were the fire."

---

Kael's verse hit hard—

Cigarette smoke swirling around him in an underground club. His eyes cold. His voice a snarl.

"Signed away my soul for stage lights / But you forgot I set the stage ablaze."

Sion was all dominance and control—trapped in a mirrored box, rapping as his reflections cracked around him.

Eren danced through graffiti-covered tunnels, lyrics sprayed in every color, a middle finger in motion.

Tavi stood on a rooftop with feathers falling around him, his voice soft and angelic—but powerful enough to crack sky.

Klan stood barefoot on broken glass, surrounded by headlines and camera flashes.

But he never flinched.

"You never owned me—only the silence I let you borrow."

---

Then came the final scene.

Kael and Klan face-to-face.

Chest to chest.

No backup dancers.

No symbolism.

Just them.

And as the music slowed, Kael whispered the last line:

> "If we burn—then we burn in truth."

And he kissed Klan.

On the lips.

On camera.

With no hesitation.

No metaphors.

Just truth.

---

The internet shattered.

> 🚨 #KAELxKLAN trended #1 worldwide

🚨 "IGNITE" MV hit 5 million views in 1 hour

Headlines flooded:

"Former LUMINA Breaks Industry Rules"

"SOLARIA's Kiss Heard Round the World"

"An Idol Love Story Written in Fire"

But the best comment came from a fan:

> "They didn't just ignite a comeback.

They ignited a revolution."

---

In the small studio that night, the five boys huddled around a single phone watching the numbers climb.

Sion was speechless.

Eren cried. Loudly.

Tavi just kept whispering, "It's real… it's all real…"

Klan leaned against Kael, breathless.

Kael wrapped his arm around him.

"Do you see it?" he asked.

Klan looked at the screen.

Views.Love.

Freedom.

> "Yeah," Klan whispered.

"We lit the fire.

And now… the world is watching it burn."
