The room was alive with the sound of cameras clicking and the murmur of journalists, media personnel, and enthusiastic fans. Hunter looked visibly drained, while Kai was doing his best to address the ongoing rumours.

You, despite not being directly involved with Kai and Hunter's team, had to be present to manage the event. You had to ensure everything ran smoothly, even if you were trying to avoid the drama that surrounded the conference.

Kai spoke in a calm, controlled manner. "Jay and I don't have any issues, and there's no past conflict between us."

A reporter's voice pierced through the noise. "Is this about that girl? Why were you two fighting?"

You stayed near the back, holding your clipboard tightly and making sure to keep out of Kai's view. Being in the same room as him was tense enough without adding any more stress.

Hunter looked frustrated as he faced Kai. "Look at the trouble this has caused. All this confusion and bullshit because of how you've handled things."

Kai gave Hunter a pointed look, silently urging him to keep quiet. He then turned his attention back to the reporters, his expression carefully controlled. He took a deep breath, preparing to address the questions carefully as he could.

"Nothing about this involved Y/N. Everything got a little tense, and I didn't realize my actions..." Kai said, his voice steady but lacking conviction.

You flinched at the mention of your name. Why were you at the center of this mess? You tried to hide behind your clipboard, anxiously glancing around for a way out.

Hunter ran a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated. "I can't believe we're having a whole conference about this..."

Another reporter's voice cut through the noise, "Do you have any sort of relationship with Y/N?"

Kai responded firmly, "I'm not going into details about that. Next question, please."

The room's outbursts added to the increasing agitation as questions came fast and furious. Kai couldn't even understand a single word, as they all flew all over his head.

Suddenly the double doors swung open with a force that sent a hush over the crowd. Heads turned, gasps echoed, and the flashes of cameras went wild. As the unknown figure strolled in, flanked by two other unfamiliar but intimidating figures, his presence commanding every eye in the room. Dressed in a sleek black suit, his once-familiar face now carried an unsettling, almost ethereal quality. The man everyone thought was dead had just walked back into their lives.

You shifted uncomfortably, trying to stay out of sight while peeking over the edge of your clipboard. As the figures drew closer, your heart sank.

He's there. Alive?
