Unveiled?

The girls regrouped in the secret basement of the lake house joined by Eunseo, Hani, and 2 of Minah's clones. The rest of the guards were alerted but either scattered themselves to patrol, or staked out in their homes in case it was a trap. Despite the issue befalling Yoobin, all eyes were on Gahyeon. At the moment, she was the best person to tackle such an issue.

Taking a look at the phone number, Gahyeon wrote it down and searched the internet for clues.

" I'm trying to do a reverse search on the phone number, but those aren't always accurate. What I can tell you is that the phone currently is not within my range. I mean, yeah they would likely be within line of sight if they were in my range. Handong would be able to detect a new source of emotions as well. Also, I know what you might be thinking, Eunseo. It's probably not Yena unless she suddenly borrowed someone else's phone to message Yoobin. The numbers don't match."

"The person contacted me on Instagram as well. The exact same messages. Their account is private though and only has 10 pictures." Yoobin lays the phone out on the table for everyone to see. Sure enough, same messages. While everyone else looked perplexed, Gahyeon, oddly, looked extremely happy.

"This is great! Instagram can give access to pictures of the person! It's also often linked with Facebook or a phone number. Gimme some time to crack this. A few minutes max and I'll be good." Gahyeon said confidently. The internet search had yielded minimal results.

"OH! They just messaged again! They said, and I quote, 'Why leave me on read and seen? Don't worry. Your secret identity is safe in my hands. The phone case was your calling card' " Gahyeon points to the new message, turning the phone around to show the girls the message.

Yoobin takes her phone back and flips it around, the hand-carved panda phone case still adorning her phone. She wracks her brain for answers. Which locations has she visited this past week? Aside from the live broadcast, when did she have her phone case out in open display? Clearly, it was time for a new phone case.

Hani shook her head. Yoobin's phone case really was a work of art, so having to swap it out to something more generic was a shame. Safety comes first though. Hani calmly walks forward and removes the panda phone case before handing it back to Gahyeon. The younger girl asks Yoobin if she should respond. Seeing Yoobin unable to answer, the team asks the guards for help. The 2 Minah clones vote no while Eunseo and Hani vote yes. It's a tie once again.

"I think if you leave it on read, that behavior is only more suspicious. You can also never trust them if they say your secret is safe with them. I think you could reply back, pretending you don't know who Yoobin is and that they are mistaken." Eunseo suggests. Hani nods her head in agreement. Meanwhile, the 2 Minah clones look over to Gahyeon.

"Gahyeon, we have a question. If this potential attacker also has a supernatural on their team, do you think they can trace our locations? The SWPP specially protected your phones with an extra few layers of magical defense as well, so getting in won't be easy, but it's a double-edged sword because that could pique the interest of someone." Gahyeon pauses tracing the Instagram and phone for a second to respond.

"Technically, yes, but only if we were within their range. I don't know what their range is, but I'm sure if the other guards noticed anyone approaching, they would notify us. At this point, I think the best thing you can do is completely swap your phone into something new. In the meantime, I think responding and then deleting any pictures you have of notable handmarks and yourself would be a good idea. They already found 2 ways to contact you. You don't want more info leaked. "
