The couple returned back to the company unnoticed, training occurring in the morning as per usual, but after that there was suddenly an urgent meeting that Marshal Kim announced for all Rangers and Mentors.

Everyone assumed it would be in regards to the three missing Kaiju, perhaps a speech of encouragement because these times are scary. The whole world is relying on them to keep it from ending. No pressure.

They all gathered in the canteen, as it was big enough for everybody, but in Marshal Kim's presence everyone stood straight and tall. Silence smothered the room, everyone could sense Marshal's emotions, she didn't seem happy or encouraging at all.

She stood on top of a table and stared at everyone sternly with her hands behind her back, then she finally spoke.

"It appears that at the worst time, there has been a breaking of the rules." She announced.

Suddenly, chatters dispersed among the room, wondering who broke the rules and what rule they broke.

"I've been shown video proof of a secret romantic relationship." Taeyeon finished, and the chatter got louder.

Ryujin released her stance and looked at Chaeryeong next to her. But Chaeryeong only shook her head, indicating that she never told anyone.

"Silence!" Marshal Kim shouted with authority, the whole room going silent.

Ryujin looked at Yeji further down the line with other mentors, and Yeji didn't look bothered at first glance. She stood as everyone else, looking straight ahead with her head held high and shoulders back. But she would gulp and then nervously lick her lips, fidgeting with her fingers behind her back.

"It was between Ranger..." Taeyeon started and paused to build up tension, "And Ranger." She finished.

Both Yeji and Ryujin looked at Taeyeon, a bit shocked, but looking back ahead to hide it. That means there's another secret relationship...

Ryujin peered down her line again to see if anyone was nervous, and oddly enough, Chaeryeong was biting her lip aggressively, and bumping her leg up and down as if she had to urgently use the bathroom. Then she looked further into the room, to see if anyone else appeared uneasy but she didn't catch them before Taeyeon called names.

"Ranger Yeo and Ranger Lee, step forward."

Ryujin gasped, Chaeryeong and Aisha? This was the last pair on everyone's minds. Those two supposedly hated one another, or was that just a front? Chaeryeong squealed under her breath and cowered as she stepped forward in embarrassment. She could sense all the eyes on her and her secret girlfriend.

"A breaking of this rule is not as harsh as the others, you two are lucky. You're sent off with a warning and one month suspension from the program, but if you're caught together even outside training again you will be banished from the program completely. In order to get back in you will have to wait one year and audition again, you would start back at Rank 1. I've contacted your families, and you both will be gone by the day's end. Now go back to your headquarters to pack. We will see you next month, on May 26th." Taeyeon stated, watching them both leave. Aisha was just pissed that they got caught, and Chaeryeong was crying because of guilt. On their way out, Aisha gave Ryujin a look. A dirty look as if saying 'it should have been you'.

That wouldn't make sense unless Chaeryeong told her, and if she did and they just got caught, Aisha may out her and Yeji out of jealousy that they weren't caught and punished. But Chaeryeong swore she didn't tell anyone. She wouldn't lie, besides, Ryujin just shifted with her this morning, she would know if Chaeryeong told anybody. She didn't.

How could Aisha possibly know then? She doesn't. Unless she's jumping to conclusions after seeing Ryujin and Yeji get mildly nervous before ranks of the two lovers were dropped. That's quite a jump, though.
