“Looks like the netizens are finally on Hyunsuk hyung's side,” Doyoung said. Jihoon, who's currently stabbing the chicken breast salad, turned to the younger member as he heard that name being mentioned. Knowing that he will gain the leader’s attention, Doyoung showed the tablet he’s using to Jihoon. Like always, the younger Omega is currently scrolling the online community, most probably searching for their name on it. And it was in the trending posts chart. There are several posts regarding Hyunsuk and his scandal on the top 10 of the trending post. Meaning, there's a lot of people viewing the post. 

Jihoon stretched out his hand, asking for the tablet. Doyoung hands the tablet to the older member. Jihoon looked at the list of the posts. It has been more than 5 days since Hyunsuk’s company held a press conference addressing the plagiarizing issue. They have filed the lawsuit to the one who falsely accused Hyunsuk. The representative of Hyunsuk’s company mentioned that they have met the accuser to settle it by just apologizing. But the party involved didn't agree to, making the company decide to use the legal route on this issue.

On the same day, a post about Hyunsuk's meeting with the accuser went viral through many platforms. It makes the press conference get delayed as they suddenly need to address a new issue as well. During the press conference, a post from a well known music director, low-key, showing the evidence that Hyunsuk indeed did not plagiarize anyone, getting the attention. Hyunsuk got all the buzz on that day and the next day as well. 

Many media outlets have been reporting Hyunsuk's situation and many netizens have shown their support to Hyunsuk again. It's a relief that everything went as planned. Jihoon is relieved that Hyunsuk doesn't have to feel down anymore about it. 

His eyes stopped at a post as he scrolled down. It's a post with a title ‘An unexpected expected friendship in the industry’. Jihoon clicked on the post to view the content since it has Hyunsuk's tag on it. The post contained a few pictures of Hyunsuk with the music director, Hongjoong, an independent artist, Gon, and a female celebrity named Hwiseo. The post stated that their friendship is not famous like other celebrities’ friendships, almost unexpected because of their career but also expected because of their career, if it makes sense. The reason the poster uploaded the post is because the 3 of them have posted something with evidence clarifying the issue regarding Hyunsuk's scandal without even clearly mentioning it.

On the comments section a netizen stated that Hyunsuk was seen taking a stroll with Hongjoong few days ago. One user commented on that comment asking why his close friends didn't clarify it when the scandal erupted and only posted it now? Another user commented that the three of them are all under a big company and needed permission to do so. Plus those three are not in the country on the week that scandal has erupted. And because Hyunsuk's company decided to keep silent about it, they can only post things that are very lowkey. Not to mess with any plan to settle the issue. On the same comments, there are replies of users arguing about it. That's probably the one that makes the post trending as well.

Jihoon hands back the tablet to Doyoung and continues to eat his salad. He took out his phone. It has been days since he didn't go and meet Hyunsuk because of his schedule. He didn't really bother Hyunsuk that much because from what he heard from Woohyun, Hyunsuk had a quite packed schedule after the press conference. But knowing that Hyunsuk did hang out with other people, somehow made him a little sad. Jihoon recalled that he hasn't really hang out with Hyunsuk other than him seeing Hyunsuk at his place or studio. Well. There's once. But it's just because he wanted to introduce Yoshinori to him. But who is he, demanding for that? He's not even a friend. Not even a lover. He let out a sigh.

Suddenly he got a message. But it's not from the one he’s expecting from. It's from their manager. Telling him to tell the other members that they had a meeting after lunch break. Jihoon sighed.
