Invincible Hearts ❤️❄️ VERHYUN - COMPLETE

Chapter Ten

VERNON POV 🐢

Next Day 🌇

The next day, at Seventeen and Twice's studio, Seungkwan called us to the window.

As we looked outside, a swarm of paparazzi watched us from the balcony of the building opposite.

We quickly ducked in sync to avoid being photographed.

S.Coups, with a tone of concern, asked: "When did they follow us?"

Seungkwan, without having an answer, just speculated: "Apparently, they must have been there since early."

Jihyo, indignantly, said: "Or they want an exclusive article. How absurd!"

Sana, still drowsy after being woken up by the flashes, complained: "I'm rude! They woke me up with that flash."

Jun, always trying to liven up the atmosphere, said, "But you look beautiful, Sana."

Wozzi, realistically, commented: "We won't be able to get out of here anytime soon."

S.Coups, taking the initiative, proposed: "So, everyone stay here. What do you think, Jihyo?"

Jihyo, thoughtfully, weighed the options: "I think it's the best solution for now. Let's wait until they get tired of waiting and leave."

The remaining members agreed, settling into the studio while the mob of paparazzi remained outside.

The situation was frustrating, but the group remained united, looking for solutions to deal with the invasion of privacy.

-----------
Since we were stuck in the studio, I sat on the couch next to Seungkwan.

I opened a pizza box that appeared out of nowhere and placed it on my lap.

Seungkwan, with a frustrated tone, said, "No one deserves to have our property surrounded by paparazzi."

I took a piece of pizza and put it in my mouth, offering the other half to Dahyun.

But she refused, which made me a little sad, but happy that there was more pizza left for me.

Dahyun looked at me with a mysterious smile and said, "I have a feeling..."

I added: "I feel it too."

We were about to kiss, when Jeonghan, always mocking, sat next to Dahyun, pushing her until we were stuck together.

With a playful smile, he said, "Jeongyeon and I tried to go downstairs, but it's impossible. There are paparazzi even in the elevator, can you believe it?"

Jeongyeon, indignant, added: "It's the worst!"

And finally, she took a piece of my pizza, making me pout. "My pizza...", I murmured, with a mix of sadness and anger.

------------
Suddenly, the TV turned on automatically, showing images of the paparazzi on our balcony, asking incessant questions.

A reporter, with an excited voice, said: "In fact, we all want to know more about Dahyun and Vernon's intimacy!"

Dahyun, surprised by the invasion of privacy, choked on her own saliva.

Wonwoo, always attentive, quickly gave her some water to help her recover.

The reporter, without giving anyone a chance to breathe, continued: "And there's more! We saw Sana and Jun leaving the same restaurant hand in hand. Is there something going on between the two?"

Jun, outraged by the press' lack of ethics, exclaimed: "This is absurd! We went at dawn, how did they know?"

The situation was chaotic.

The invasion of our privacy was blatant, and the paparazzi didn't care about our discomfort.

The group gathered around the TV, each with their own thoughts and feelings.

Dahyun, still recovering from the shock, looked at me with a worried look.

I hugged her, giving her security and support.

We knew we would have to deal with this situation in the best way possible, protecting our privacy and that of all group members.

------------
That afternoon, on the studio balcony, I crouched behind a bush, trying to hide from the insistent paparazzi.

Dahyun, watching me with an amused smile, walked over and said, "Vernon..."

"Hi, love?", I replied, with a tone of surprise. "What it was?"

She laughed, amused by my unusual attempt to hide. "Well..." she said, "what are you doing behind the bushes?"

"Trying to hide from them," I replied, with an embarrassed smile.

Dahyun crouched down next to me, looking at me fondly. "You know they'll see you the same way, right, love?", she said. "This balcony is open... even I who can detect cameras from afar can't hide."

She was right. The balcony was open and there weren't many places to hide. I sighed, frustrated with the situation. “But what can I do?” I asked.

Dahyun gave me a tight hug. "Don't worry," she said. "Let's think of something together. In the meantime, let's enjoy the little sun we're getting."

We got up and sat on the porch, sunbathing and talking about anything.

Despite the presence of the paparazzi, Dahyun's company made me feel happy and safe.

I knew that together we would overcome any obstacle.

---------
Night 🌆

It was already night when we left the balcony. To my dismay, the paparazzi still surrounded the building, as if they wereready to camp there.

Nayeon, with her excited voice, called us for dinner.

My plans for a romantic night with Dahyun were falling apart.

Instead, I would have to settle for a group meal with 19 other people in the studio.

Seventeen and Twice, as large groups that they are, had 21 people in total, including me and Dahyun.

We sat at the dinner table, a big noisy and lively group.

Despite my frustration at not having the night alone I so desired, I sat next to Dahyun, enjoying her company and the group's contagious energy.

The conversation flowed easily, between laughter, jokes and funny stories.

Although the situation with the paparazzi was irritating, the presence of my friends and my beloved made me feel happy and grateful.

I knew that, even with the challenges, we could always count on each other for support and company.
