Flashback to Aaron's death
Reporters swarmed around Aaron, their cameras flashing relentlessly. "Mr. Aaron, is it true that you've bullied someone to death?" one demanded, "No-" Aaron couldn't complete as another reporter interjected, "Don't you feel ashamed that you'll be debuting?" Aaron struggled to speak amidst the barrage, but Jason suddenly appeared, swiftly ushering him away from the chaos.
"Don't worry, Aaron. I'm here with you. Nothing's going to happen. We'll find a solution, okay?" Jason reassured him as they hurried along. Aaron paused and suggested, "Let's go to Kevin's place. He's the one who will believe me, and that could be enough to help."
Aaron said while Jason tried to understand as he nodded and then asked Aaron to wait "Okay then I'll bring my bike-" he couldn't complete as Aaron spoke "You divert the press with your bike, I'll go myself" Aaron said while Jason was hesitant as he spoke "Will you be fine, alone?" Jason asked while Aaron closed his eyes in reassurance as he spoke "Yeah I will be. Moreover Kevin would be there" he said while Jason nodded being convinced by Aaron's words, as he went, while Aaron headed towards Kevin's apartment alone.
As he walked, Aaron tried to secure his face further with a cap and mask, recalling Kevin's earlier assurances about his connections with the CEO of the company where Aaron was set to debut. The CEO himself had acknowledged about Kevin's connection with him, during Aaron's practice sessions, giving him a glimmer of hope.
"Kevin, please... I need your help," Aaron silently pleaded in his mind as he finally reached Kevin's building. Spotting Kevin sitting in his car, Aaron hurried over and called out desperately.
"Kevin!"
Despite Aaron's frantic efforts, the car didn't stop. Nearby onlookers stared and pointed, causing Aaron to hastily readjust his mask and slip away, unnoticed by the gathering crowd.

On the other front, Jason continued to divert the press, but suddenly, all their phones buzzed simultaneously. Perplexed, Jason paused, sensing a shift in the atmosphere. He checked his own phone and froze as he read the notification:
"Debut singer Aaron's deal with the company is being terminated due to current bullying allegations; the owner asserts no tolerance or support for injustice, pending further investigation."
Jason's eyes widened in disbelief. "What the heck is wrong with them?!" he exclaimed aloud, stunned by the swift and severe consequence. His thoughts raced to Aaron. "Didn't Aaron talk to Kevin yet?!" Jason muttered urgently to himself, trying to reach Kevin first, but his calls went unanswered. He dialed Aaron next, but the line was constantly busy, intensifying his worry.
Fear gripped Jason as he hurried to find Aaron, his mind echoing with one desperate plead
"Please be safe, Aaron..."

Aaron hurried to the rooftop of the building, seeking solace amidst the turmoil engulfing his life. Sitting with his back against the wall, he pulled out his phone, finding it inundated with messages. Opening Instagram, his worst fears materialized in the form of hateful comments:
I knew he had something off with him or else how can someone try to be so nice?
These type of people must be punished!!
You must die!!
Tears welled up in Aaron's eyes as he shook his head in disbelief, the weight of the accusations and betrayals bearing down on him. Just then, another notification flashed on his screen:
