"Whoa it's like article after article," Yeri mumbled as she scrolled through what was trending.

"Aeri really tried to play the hero," Irene rolled her eyes, "Just cause she's an influencer. She never even talked to jae for years until now and I bet you she purposely exposed that Hyunjae had a boyfriend to us."

Taeyong looked over at Irene who had a point there.

"I can't believe they actually caught sight of Hyunjae though. I thought she'd leave the country or at least to Busan again," Yeri said reading the comments on the article talking about Aeri, "She tends to runaway from her problems."

"That's true," taeyong nodded thinking back to it.

Whenever things got rough for Hyunjae she'd just go into hiding or runaway. She did it with the media, then San, then Aeri, then to ask three of them, and once again the media. It was crazy to them how she was getting all this attention, everyone was treating her as if she was some famous celebrity.

"Holy shit she made an Instagram account!" Irene exclaimed as the other two gathered behind Irene.

They scanned the article talking about Hyunjae opening up her public instagram account as well as how she got 45 thousand followers in the span of two hours.

"Oh wow," Taeyong said as her account loaded up, "I think she got prettier."

"I wonder if she got work done while hiding so that people wouldn't recognize her," Irene murmured.

Yeri shook her head, "Nah I think her facial features are the same. Should we follow her?"

The three looked at one another unsure. There was a possibility that with so many people following her she wouldn't notice them. Of course there was also the possibility that she would notice.

"Well it's a public account so we don't exactly have to follow her to keep an eye out for her," Taeyong said thinking about it.

They all agreed looking through the girl's pictures. Of course they tried to see who she followed but she wasn't following anyone, not even Aeri. That made them suspicious.

"You think she's hiding something?"

"I think she doesn't want her new friends to get caught up in her drama."

"Oh but she didn't care when she was friends with us."

"It's two different situations though."

"Whose side are you on Yeri?"

"My side?" She replied unsure on what she was trying to say, "anyway Yong isn't your girlfriend coming over today?"

Taeyong nodded, "Yeah later why?"

"I'm curious to see her," Yeri said with a devilish smile.

Taeyong shook his head, "You guys are not meddling in my relationship."

"But you didn't mind meddling in our relationships and even Jae's!" Irene pouted.

"That... that was different and we all know that."

The two girls sighed knowing he was right, but they were definitely still gonna meddle.

"Babyyyy!" Yuta screeched as Hyunjae answered his phone call.

"That was unexpected," She laughed lightly as she sat at her office desk, "Hi lover!"

"Hey! I saw all the articles. Are you okay?" He asked sympathetically.

The first thing he wanted to do was check on her. He knew it was a lot to deal with and people were still being spiteful towards her so he didn't want her to be in a negative headspace.
