Chapter 116

The four of them watched her go. As soon as she was out of ear shot, Jungwon turned to Niki. The youngest rarely called him hyung. And when he did, he was either sweet talking him or something was up and he required the leader's attention. And at the moment, it was the latter.

"What is this? Where did you find this?" He asked Niki.

Heeseung took the black object from Jungwon's hands to inspect it.

"Canon." Jay muttered.

"Noona found this in the water. I didn't see anyone though." Niki answered.

"But we can't risk anything." Heeseung said.

He called the front security and asked them to check the premises for any intruders.

"Anyone. Even if it's an employee, bring them to us. And make sure to check all the rooms for any hidden devices please...yes we'll stay out here for the meantime."

Heeseung pocketed his phone and rubbed his temple in annoyance.

"Why, just why?" He groaned. "It hasn't even been 24 hours yet and still..."

"The last thing we want right now is her face in the tabloids." Jay rubbed the bridge of his nose. Why wouldn't people just let them be?

"Don't be so negative. It can be trash as Niki said." Jungwon tried to be optimistic.

"Yeah? This new looking camera cover?" Jay snapped.

"But you called it trash, why?" Heeseung asked Niki.

"She was nervous. And suggested it herself. So I just backed it up to not worry her." Niki said.

"Okay good." Heeseung nodded.

"For now, let's go tell others. We need to stay out here until everything's clear." Jungwon said.

"Hyung, tell them to check the pine trees over there." Niki pointed Heeseung towards the tree line.

Heeseung took note of it and called the security back to inform them.

"Jungwon you go to others, we three will take a look around here." Jay said.

"Okay." Jungwon nodded and went for the rest.

He dearly hoped that Leah was right and it was just trash. But still his mind went to the worst possible scenarios. What if someone leaked their pictures? If it was here in India, they had a good chance of getting it taken down.

But Leah's family and friends might be the first people to see it. Specially her friends. It was very unlikely that a Korean media outlet would be behind it. But who knows?

Like Jay said, it hasn't even been 24 hours since they started dating and there was already trouble waiting for them to sweep it under the rug.

Jungwon jogged his way to others, finding them giggling and bickering about something. All it took was her laughing face. Her hair swayed in the breeze and she moved it out of her face. He immediately felt at ease and also determined at the same time. He wasn't letting anyone harm her image.

He saw Sunghoon eyeing the space beside her. A mischievous smile spread on Jungwon's face. He dashed towards the hammock and climbed up in the place while giggling. Sunoo gave him a high five.

Sunghoon glared at Jungwon. But Jungwon subtly shook his head and gestured towards the beach with his eyes. Sunghoon raised an eyebrow and stomped off.

The others could speak to him but Jungwon needed to speak to these two without Leah present. And just like that, she excused herself and went away.

"There might be paps around." Jungwon went straight to business and it caught the two off guard.
