News broke out that Jay is seeking therapy, and on Twitter, someone leaked the hospital's address. Suspicions are pointing towards a staff member as the source of the leak, adding a disturbing layer to his already challenging journey toward healing.
Jay stepped into the meeting room, greeted by the stern expressions of the PR team and his visibly agitated manager.
"I explicitly told you to keep a low profile if you want to get back on stage, and by 'laying low,' I mean avoiding any scandals," the manager reproached, his frustration evident.
"What's the harm in revealing that I go to therapy?" Jay inquired, genuinely puzzled by the manager's heightened displeasure.
The manager rolled his eyes, a sigh escaping him before he responded, "Do you think I'm oblivious to the way you look at her? The person who posted those pictures definitely caught on."
The head of the PR team chimed in, "So, we'll now focus on a new image for Jay. Your new role in the group is the therapist friend. You'll have to talk about mental health more on your lives to show fans that you're getting better."
Jay sighed, a sense of exasperation evident, as he realized they were essentially rebranding something he had been doing all along. The irony wasn't lost on him, as he contemplated the somewhat perplexing strategy devised by their seemingly stupid PR team.
Jay returned to his dorm, his mood already dampened, only to find his members gathered in the living room, visibly concerned about his well-being. Heeseung, being the older bandmate, took the initiative to approach Jay and offer solace.
"Hey, Jay, you know it's not your fault, right?" Heeseung's voice carried a comforting reassurance. "You've got to prioritize your mental well-being. We'll face this together, and if therapy is what you need, then it's worth fighting for."
Jungwon, as their leader, stepped forward, asserting their collective support. "Jay hyung, take a deep breath. We're not letting anyone dictate your well-being. Therapy has been your choice, and we stand by it. Your mental health matters more than any public image."
Moved by the unwavering support of his bandmates, Jay found himself surrounded by the group, and they embraced in a heartfelt group hug.
He was now laying down on his bed as he scrolled through the comments under his new post, a post prompted by the marketing team's decision to maintain visibility, he was taken aback.
