"I'm just saying. I can't undo it, people saw it anyway," I commented, receiving a sigh from him. "Come on, you literally agreed on it," I added. "I wasn't even aware", "neither was I," I mumbled. "Right..doesn't matter. Like you said, we can't undo. I was just afraid that maybe, maybe my mother will make a big deal and take advantage out of it-" I interrupted him. "She won't. People figured out before anyway, and didn't seem to mind. What would she do with it anyway? You see, she wanted you to date someone known and now it's the case." He shook his head. "Someone who goes into my business..A romance only connected with wealth which was in the gens already." I rubbed my temple. "Listen I'm sorry for uploading-" He cut me off. "No, it doesn't matter. Really..have you even, you know, checked on it yet?" I cautionous faced my phone. "Not yet, I don't feel like it." I watched his hand reaching for it. "I wanna see, though. Do you allow me?" I slowly nodded, letting him. I watched his eyes scan my screen detailed. His expression stayed neutral, though. "What is it?" I anxiously questioned. "You wanna see?" I fastly blinked, hesitately bringing up my hand.

I took a look at my Instagram feed. "You didn't even upload any picture, Taerim."
I squinted my eyes, refreshing the page again, but there indeed was nothing. "What..can't be. I'm sure I did."

"Maybe you really were wasted. Your memories don't seem to be that clear." I shook my head, going through my hair. "No...I did publish." Under my last posts people commented, questioning of why I deleted it. People even messaged me, saying polite stuff...I didn't delete it though. I wasn't the one who did, I'm sure of it.

Minho deeply exhaled. "However", "You don't believe me," I mumbled. But in fact, there was nothing I could do about it now anymore anyway. Whether I deleted it... or well, what else option could there be? "I mean, there clearly isn't any post, so I guess you didn't post." I gave him a weak smile, lifting my vision. "Right...maybe not."
I did and someone deleted it, it wasn't me though. No one has access to my account, besides me. I just felt like Minho was sort of relieved about it, so I went along.

"Taerim, you did upload. I saw it," Akari reassured me. "I know..I clearly know it."
"Then how did it get deleted? Did you by any chance do that yourself?" I shook my head. "I didn't, hundred percent not," I answered. "Who else? I mean, does anyone have access to your account...or maybe also phone?" I squinted my eyes. "Phone? I was just with Minho, who could've done it?" I questioned, but she remained silent. "What are you assuming? He did not do it, why would he?" She sighed. "I mean, he clearly was against it. Does he know your passwo-" I interrupted her. "He wouldn't do it..I mean, yeah he wasn't fully convinced of the idea of uploading, but he wouldn't. Really," I confidently spoke. "What wouldn't I?" I fastly turned around. "Huh? Nothing. I'm gonna hang up now, bye," I cleared my throat. "Mh, let's go." I offered my hand. "What do you mean? Were you talking about me?" I bit my lip. "Min.." his steps stopped. "You know, I'm just making sure...about earlier, the picture." Minhos eyes lost focus on mine. "I didn't do it." I blinked in a fast motion. "Huh?", "I heard your talk.. I didn't delete it, I thought you were convinced it wasn't me. Why are you asking then?" My eyes scanned the hand I held out to him, but I eventually let it hang down. "I'm sorry, I'm just really confused." He reached for my hand to properly take it. "If you're sure you uploaded it, stick with it. Be sure that there must have been someone else then who clearly wasn't okay with it...and took it down again. You know how much control they can have over you, if they ain't happy with your work, it means less money for them." Realisation hit me out of sudden. Why would they think I'm not benefitting out of this with money? I think someone else was behind this, who had mentioned often enough that she wasn't happy with us. Her son now being officially revealed to be dating me, would destroy everything she tried building up for him. With money, she could easily get access to take it down.
