Mafia Fanboy || Jeon Jungkook ✓

30: Stop Cyber bullying

I lifelessly walked to the exit of the hospital and the camera flashes blinded my vision which was already blurred by the tears.

I didn't care about being vulnerable in front of the camera. My love was about to leave my life. I cannot just stay silent about this.

"Mr. Jeon, how is Miss. Pomme?"
"She is fine now. But she is still unconscious."

"How did this happen? Fans were speculating that she was drunk in her recent live stream when she had red eyes-"
"This beautiful girl's life was about to end because of bullying. People need to start realizing that rude comments that they think are harmless, THEY HURT! This need to stop. The malicious comments about someone need to end now."

"So she was a victim of cyberbullying?"
"Pomme's public relationship with me was an important moment in her life. She had haters before, but it wasn't until this relationship that she became the target of excessive hate comments. But the most important thing is that Pomme never committed a crime, and her social media is her own personal space. She is unreservedly herself in a world that told her, 'Artists have to act in a certain way.' Her dating life is also her personal choice. It isn't like she is married to someone else or I am married to someone else. Does age difference matter if a man and woman love each other and date happily?"

"We heard that she attempted suicide. What was the reason? Relationship or hate comments?"
"It's not for a single reason like hate comments or her relationship. She had a lot of anxiety, she was estranged from her family, and a lot of things around her are difficult. It's not right to say that one thing or one person is responsible for her condition. In the end, if we just make one person into a target, then nothing changes from the tragic action, and painful things will just keep happening."

"Why do you think she received hate comments?"
"It's a brutal wake-up call. Her attempt reminds everyone of the still-pervasive misogyny directed at 'unconventional' women, who are brave enough to be irreverent, date men quite older or younger than them, and value their own minds above being liked by others."

"What do you want to say to the viewers right now?"

I looked at the camera and the tears rolled down my cheeks. I knelt down and joined my hands while pleading. The reporters gasped at my sudden breakdown.

"Please, let us live with each other. Let my love survive. I was her fan before dating her. If she was dating someone else then I wouldn't leave mean comments because she was not dating me.

I buy all of her comics and fan goods, but that doesn't mean that I have bought her private life as well. All the fans should know their limits with their artists.

She always called herself mean since she read it in the comments. It took me more than a year to make her think otherwise and be happy. But all of these went to waste when the bullying went excessive. She tried to take her own life.

When will people learn to stop hating her? When she dies?" I said while sobbing and the media went silent. I cried loudly while hanging my head low when I felt Hobi pulling me up and taking me inside.

"I am speechless and so utterly disgusted by these hater's malicious comments that are responsible for Pomme's and other celebrities' broken hearts. " I heard Namjoon scream at the media.

--------------------

I woke up from sleep when I felt my hand moving. I looked at Ari slowly opening her eyes and I stood up, causing the chair to fall to the ground. "Ari? Are you feeling better?" I asked but she just looked at me blankly.

Namjoon immediately entered the room with the others following him. "I heard the chair fall- Fuck! Little shit, woke up? Taehyung, call the doctor!" He said and Taehyung immediately ran out of the room.

After the doctor checked her, I sat beside her while all the others surrounded her bed. "I am sorry. I won't do it again." She said and we nodded.

"Never do that!" Namjoon said, smacking her arm and she hissed in pain while glaring at him. "But they all hate me-"

"Ari, look. Everyone is talking about you. You just raised awareness about cyberbullying and many celebrities, creators, and influencers are sharing their stories as well. Read the fan comments on the media articles now." Jimin said extending the tablet to her and I read it along with her.

"After what happened with Pomme, we have to pay more attention to this. Many idols get lots of hate for no reason. I hope this won't happen again. Please don't spread any hate."

"I know Pomme wouldn't wish this happened to anyone. Let's protect Pomme and others from cyberbullying!"

"Pomme's impeccable character and work will always be cherished. We miss you Pomme but we will wait till you're safe and happy."

"Pomme is one of the examples of a person that doesn't need attention just because she just wants it but needs it because she wants to be loved."

"To our giant baby PomPom, you can rest now and come back with a bomb webtoon."

"We support Jungkook and Pomme."

"Nation's couple goals, PomKook."

"I am shipping Jungkook and Pomme from the beginning. What do you mean? P.S. Pomme, if Jungkook breaks your heart, just come to me. I'll break his nose."

"Guys, my parents have an age gap of 13 years yet they have a beautiful daughter like me. The age gap doesn't even matter."

"Wait! Since we never knew Pomme's last name then if she marries Jungkook then will we get Jeon Pomme? Holy FUCK! THat's aDoraBLe!"

"Well, Gangster High just finished. Let Pomme rest, Neon Webtoon. She promises to come back with a more thrilling webtoon next time! Rest well, Pomme."

"I am very small, and I don't find myself wishing I were any bigger. All I want, with my one tiny moment, is to love you. If you remember anything about me, remember the truest thing: I will love you after all the stars have burned out, after the sun has died and ice has covered the earth, after the last human has taken their last breath. I'm happy, so happy to be a tiny fleck of a thing alongside you. We may just be moments, Ari, but to love a handful of people very well, that's a good life. I was just a blip, a spark, the blink of God's eyes. Because of you, it was more than enough. It was everything. I was just a moment, and you gave me a million, Ari. I was just a moment, and you made me forever." -samuraijjk97

I smiled and looked at her already giving me a cheeky grin. "I love you, samurai jjk" She said and I hugged her tightly. "I love you too, Pomme."

She hit me on my chest and I grunted while pouting at her. "What now?" I questioned and she glared at me cutely before saying. "You used my real name on the comment. What if people get suspicious?"

"They won't, stop worrying. Nobody will be suspicious." I said hugging her tightly when Taehyung screamed, catching our attention. We looked at him while he showed his phone to us before saying.

"The fans suspect a mysterious comment by username samuraijjk calling someone Ari in Pomme's article."

Rest in peace, Sulli. You were the star shining over our dark lives and yet we couldn't protect you. Hope we learn from our mistakes. Hope you find peace in heaven, our shining Angel. We love you. We miss you.
