It was Yooin's day off. She just wanted to lay in bed more than usual but her cellphone rang. "Hey," she answered in a groggy voice.

"Save the pleasantries and check your account now!" Exclaimed Mina on the other side of the line.

"Okay, okay, give me a minute." Yooin rolled about a little bit, then sat up in bed. She put the call on speaker and switched the app to check what was going on. "Okay, I've logged on. What shou- oh my gosh..." She trailed off.

"Exactly. Didn't you say you'd cut back on the trolling? What did you do last night? Your account is being spread around by most of TXT's big fanbase accounts to be reported to the company through mass emails, and they're rallying fans to report your account on the site so that it can be suspended." Mina's voice sounded nervous and on-edge.

"I didn't even mess with a lot of people last night. Just this one person. Hold on, let me check their profile." Yooin pulled clicked on the profile and realized who she messed with. "Uh-oh..."

"Uh-oh? What do you mean "uh-oh"? Tension evident in her voice.

"Well... I may have messed with the admin for one of those update accounts, and it seems they're really pissed at me ha ha... Another good day on stan Twitter, am I right?"

"Another goo- what?! Yooin, you're on your way to getting not only suspended but possibly sued by a big company as well!" Mina couldn't believe her friend was being so lighthearted about this.

Yooin was actually freaking out inside though. Her account getting suspended wasn't that big of a deal to her because she could always create a new one. The big problem was getting sued. She couldn't afford to handle the trouble that would come with that. "Hey Mina, I'll talk to you later."

"But-"

She hung up before Mina could continue what she was going to say. Yooin had to come up with a plan on how she was going to handle getting sued. They hadn't sent her a notice or anything yet, so for now she didn't really have to stress about that but she didn't want to take the chance of not being prepared in case a sue notice does pop up. "Should I call my mom? Wait- What if they contact my family? Would I have to pay a fine? How much money would that be? Do I even have enough money? I'm such an idiot. Hold on, maybe...!" She scrambled to get her phone from under the sheets. Scrolling through her contacts, she lands upon the number of someone who she thinks can maybe help her. Unblocking the number, she dials it and waits for the other person to answer. To her disappointment though, the other doesn't. She wasn't expecting them to answer but she hoped that they would. Sighing in frustration and about to dial her mother, her phone suddenly rang. They called back. "Hello?"

"Hello. It's you again," said the voice belonging to Kang Taehyun.

"Er... ha ha yeah... Listen, I'm sorry about everything last night. What I did was really rude-"

"So you do know you were rude," Taehyun interjected.

"Yes, and I'm really sorry about that. I freaked out."

"Freaked out? You're the one that called me, remember? I should be the one that freaked out. Imagine a rude stranger repeatedly calling you out of the blue. Well enough of that. Who are you? And this time don't hang up." Taehyun spoke in a calm but stern voice.

"Once again, I'm really sorry about all of that. My name is Yooin, Seo Yooin."

"Okay Miss Yooin, you don't seem to be a stalker fan. Now tell me how and why do you have my phone number? '' Inquired Taehyun.

"About that..." Started Yooin, "I honestly don't know or at least don't remember how nor why. The thing is, I was scrolling through my contacts during my spare time and saw thi- your number saved there but it didn't have a name and since I remembered nothing about it, I called it and you know the rest." She concluded her explanation nervously.

"Hmm, that makes sense. Let's put the 'how and why' aside then but answer this, why did you suddenly hang up, only to call again and hang up, again? You even blocked my number."

Yooin could almost hear annoyance in his voice and felt bad about it. "Like I said, I freaked out. I mean, I called a random number that I had saved and it's the Kang Taehyun that answers the call. Of course I'll freak out. I couldn't believe it the first time so I called again to make sure and when you confirmed it, I was so done. I decided that none of that ever happened, I'm not getting involved in anything and you called me back so I blocked you and that was over with..."

"But...?"

"I'm kind of in trouble and you're the only one I can think of that can really help me." She dropped the bomb on him.
