Alex slowly opened the door of the room he shared with two of his other group members, immediately glancing towards the tired and spread out body of Kaito across his well-made bed. He sat himself down at the end of the mattress, one arm resting on the ladder that lead up to Taeyang's bed above them. 

"I saw what happened today." he said simply, Kaito groaning a bit as he rolled over, face into his pillow. "It's a nice picture." Alex added. 

"Yeah, thanks." Kaito replied, turning around and sitting up to face the younger. There was a moment of awkward silence which Alex later filled with a small smile as he pointed to his phone. 

"I'm glad you showed them who's boss." Alex said with a little nod. 

"How so?"

"Whoever that was is just trying to cause drama. Don't even worry about that." Alex said, patting Kaito's leg once before tilting his head in confusion at Kaito's sigh.  

"It's not really the commenter I'm worried about anyways. I could care less about what some trouble-making rude person thinks." Kaito said, looking around the room to avoid eye contact with Alex. 

"Is it the whole group reputation you're worried about? None of us care whether they think one way or another. You know CEO-nim doesn't care either, in fact he loves this controversial type of promotion." Alex said, stopping himself as the door opened and Taeyang walked in, one hand holding a towel to his wet hair as another held his phone as he scrolled down a page. He stopped after a few steps into the room, realizing both of the others were looking at him. Taeyang set his phone down, sitting down on Alex's bed which was across the room a few feet away. For the first time in a few days Alex didn't request the older get off of his bed. 

After a few glances between Kaito and Alex, Taeyang caught on, quickly adding, "Don't worry about what anyone thinks regarding the posts today. It won't mess up any plans, I promise."

Kaito let out a little groan. 

"Nothing you did was wrong." 

"For the company and for us, I know. That's whatever..." Kaito trailed off, only to be questioned by Alex. 

"Then what's the matter?" he asked, Kaito sighing again in frustration as he fell backwards to lay flat on his bed. "Is it just about the personal attacks?"

"I'm worried about Hyung," he mumbled, rolling around and sitting back up to talk yet again. "What if people attack him too? I could care less about what they think of me..." 

"I doubt he cares either, plus you can't even tell who it is in the photo anyways." Alex mentioned.

"Even though he's a model, he's still sensitive..." Kaito trailed off, Taeyang making a small nod of understanding.

"I've got an idea, and the date today makes it a bit easier..."
