Yoon Hyejin's POV

The weather began to get pretty cold. Only few months more before the year ends, with just few sleeps, snow will soon start falling from the sky without most of us realizing it.

It's a bright sunny afternoon and I'm wrapped in a comfortably warm and oversized clothes to cover my bump since I have been going arount in public places with the boys.

Just as what I was expecting, loads of articles were published about me reuniting with them again. It made a quiet big fuss in their fanbase. Everything is having a mixed reaction. There are fans that feel happy seeing me again, some are confused and some are not having it.

I even had to stop checking my social media accounts because I've been continuously receiving hate messages from the jealous fans. I've been told to stay away from them millions of time already for they knew I'm not an SM staff anymore.

They are like...what's my business with them anymore? Netizens aren't buying it. Not please how a 'friend' like me is always with them. What for? Just to hangout together while NCT 127 works? Simply odd too if I would be asked.

"Doesn't she have a life?"
"Why is she always with them like she's needed? She's not a staff anymore."
"I mean..I do get it that they're so close but something is just bothering me."
"She's definitely not there to work!"
"Why would a model of an international brand be there acting like a staff like she used to? That doesn't make sense."
"Hyejin, this is so uncalled for."
"Let's say she's just being supportive but being literally with them everyday? Peeps it's weird. Knowing that companies and groups are really private about their artists and their whereabouts."
"I'd appreciate it more if she really acts like a staff again but no, she's just casually walking around and laughing with them. She's a distraction that causes unprofessionalism to the group."

"Hey---" My heart skipped a beat thinking my phone slid off my hands but I realized it was purposely snatched. Looking up, I met Jaehyun's seriously strict and nagging eyes. "I told you don't." His deep and warning tone unintentionally silenced everyone in the dressing room.

I can feel all the members and the staff watching him turned my phone off and gently threw it in the space of the open zipper of his bag. "Jae..." I called, eyes looking up to the man towering me.

He shut his eyes close and tight while cursing a few under his breath. I know he's not mad at me. More on too worried that I might get stressed or sick reading those hate comments... I'm sure that's what keeping him annoyed and irritated.

"I thought we talked about it Hyejin." I can say he's being dead-serious right now with the way the vibe in the room quickly starts to get gloomy and by the way he called me by my name.

Jaehyun soon kneeled down ignoring the dirty floor and his pants. His eyes then immediately softened watching mine, I didn't mean to show the conflict of my emotion to him but it felt like whenever he laid his eyes on me, all of my barriers become transparent. He see through.

"I'm sorry Jae...I just happened to stumble in that post." And that's not a lie. I'm not that dumb to search for it and get depressed about it later.

Fuck the hates, they don't affect me. What's pressing me in is I think that I'm getting fhe group in a negative side of their fans because to begin with, they do have a point.

I don't have to be with them all the time.

"It's okay Hyejin. It's okay to us. Don't mind them." I looked at Taeyong and saw his hands balled into fists while adorably wiggling them in the air. His guts probably urged him to say and do that for me not to overthink, aww I really appreciate their kind and sweet gestures.
