It happened after the widely controversial actor who mostly played villain roles of popular movies (well or not well being a highly debated question among critics and fans depending on who you asked) finally unmasked himself, revealing his natural face to the world.
Among Cale's and Rok Soo's friend and family circles, Cale Barrow or self-claimed White Star wasn't admired and they took the opportunity to shit-post among their friends about his unmasking in their combined group chat.
Which unfortunately was quite hard after they got past insulting his latest roles and his hair and his crooked glint in his evil eyes... because all bias aside, the White Star wasn't that bad looking. And if they looked closely, they all could begin to slowly realize...
Choi Han: Um... Cale, Rok Soo-nim... is Cale Barrow your dad?
Cale: ...
Rok Soo: ...
Rosalyn: Σ(°Д °)??? (What??)
Soo Hyuk: Σ(°Д °)??? (What?? +2)
Jung Soo: Σ(°Д °)??? (No way, you would tell me such a secret, right @Rok Soo???)
Alberu: Σ(°Д °)??? (You idiot! I don't think this is right. There's no way Cale and Rok Soo could be related to such an idiot, right @Cale @Rok Soo???)
Raon: Σ(°Д °)??? (Big brother??)
Hong: Σ(°Д °)??? (Rok Soo-hyung???)
On: Σ(°Д °)??? (Meow???)
The reactions went on, growing to become one of the longest chain yet, until all the people stopped typing when Deruth's name appeared and he typed a heartfelt
Deruth: What.
It was a 'what' they all could feel, but as they stared at the released close-up of Cale Barrow's unmasked face, they all couldn't help but understand the first post. Just as they could understand the 'what' ringing in their brains.
Choi Han: Sorry. Didn't mean to um, accuse. It just came out.
Choi Han: Just that, they look so similar.
Choi Han: Or at least, Cale Barrow looks like a combination of their features.
And it was true, they all realized, horror rising in them as they understood the meaning of the creepy sensation rising in their being when they had begun studying the White Star's face for defects and came to an unconscious, uncomfortable realization.
Jung Soo: His nose...
Alberu: Eye and hair color...
Rosalyn: The cheekbones-
Taylor: The brows.
Archie: Fuck. What the fuck guys. I'm getting the chills. So cursed. Need to unsee. Agh, I even more so don't want to watch any more movies with him and his pathetic acting.
Raon: Unsee, unsee, unsee-
Hong: He's not our dad!!
On: [Cale grimacing at lemonade.jpg] I also don't want to be related to him.
Ron: If the children and young masters are truly disturbed, I wouldn't mind pruning some branches of the family tree tonight.
Bud: Calm down, guys. Calm down - let's think this through rationally. He could just be Cale's and Rok Soo's son-
Alberu: BUD!!!
Rosalyn: BUD!!!
Hannah: What the fuck-
Archie: MY EYES-
Cage: BUD!!!
Glenn: BUD!!!
Glenn: Sorry, you all - Damn it, Bud!! You need to be the one who calms down first!!
Cale: ...
Rok Soo: ...
At the little reactions from the two involved, everyone began to worry, wondering if those two got hit by the blue screen of death by their ridiculous, but horrifying conversation. Idly, they realized that Deruth had been awfully quiet as well.
Alberu: Cale, you alright? Rok Soo?
More people began calling the two out, slowly soothing them from their shock. And finally, one of them replied.
Rok Soo: ...He is not related to us. At all.
Everyone could feel the grimace and disgust in those few words and though Rok Soo said a lot of things that could be easily misinterpreted or misunderstood or with opposite meanings because he was just a tsundere like his hyungs often accused him of, all of them knew that this was completely serious and quickly took pity on them and agreed.
Alberu: Of course! We all know that!
Rosalyn: Not related to you both at all.
Archie: Yeah, how could such an idiot son of a bitch be related to you two. You're much scarier than he could ever be. Directors are blind to even give him a job.
Raon: Yeah!! Big brother has the best scamming smile ever! That White Thing has nothing on my brother!
On: ...I don't know if that's really something to brag about, but yes, Rok Soo is a better actor. Cale too.
Hong: Yeah!! Both of you are awesome! The White Thing is just poo!
Choi Han: I'm sorry for my question, Cale, Rok Soo-nim. He is obviously unrelated.
Cale: Hmph. Obviously. There's no way I'd ever have that guy as a father.
Cale: It creeps me out that people can easily mistake that- dad? Dad?!
All slowly began typing to respond in concern to that abrupt shout of a question, but stopped when Deruth typed.
Deruth: Don't worry. No one would ever mistake him as your father ever again.
Cale: Dad, where are you going with that knife?? Dad-
There is silence for a moment like a phone cord being pulled out of a wall.
Rok Soo: ...
Choi Han: ...
Alberu: ...
Rosalyn: ...
Rok Soo: ...I didn't see anything.
Archie: ...
Archie: ...yeah. Same here. Or I did, but damn, see, this is why I said that you both would be better actors than the White Star. Damn, that was scary. (Um, do I need to stay up all night for the news?)
Raon: Oh!! Is Mister Deruth going to cut an apple pie? He always cuts them into nice big, chunky, clean slices!
Rok Soo: ...Isn't it your bedtime? Let's go to sleep. Sleep sounds nice right now. I'm going to head over to tuck you in bed.
Raon: Okay, hyung!! :D
Raon: Can we read The Little Engine That Could too?
Rok Soo: Yes.
Rok Soo: Good night, everyone.
Rok Soo: If something happens by tomorrow, I don't want to know it.
Soon, many people began clearing out as well. It was late at night and time to get some sleep before school the next day anyways. As they began departing and burying the previous conversation of cursed thoughts and things that they concluded were metaphoric for plausible deniability, Ron left a lone text in the chat.
Ron: No worries, young masters. Nothing will happen; I am with Cale's dad.
