I woke up the next morning to a bunch of notifications from my phone.

"I guess this five month break involves peaceful nights too," I yawned, feeling refreshed and rested.

I opened my phone to see a bunch of texts from Hoseok and Yoongi.

Hobi😂: Holy crap Dahye!

Hobi😂: This is so bad

Hobi😂: Everyone thinks it's you

Hobi😂: Everyone from Uni is messaging me asking if I know anything about it

Hobi😂: Have you seen the news?!?!

Hobi😂: OMG

Hobi😂: Dahye turn on the TV

Hobi😂: How can you sleep through this?!

Hobi😂: I think I'm gonna be sick for you

Hobi😂: Omg...

I could feel panic rise in my heart.

Mini💘: Dahye are you okay?!

Mini💘: I was watching the news

Mini💘: Sorry btw, I went back home while you were out

Mini💘: But Dahye this is bad

Mini💘: You did pretty good at avoiding the camera, but they caught a tiny bit of your face

Mini💘: I'm sorry but I'm too late to pay off the media

Mini💘: Crap Dahye

Mini💘: Nononononono

Mini💘: The entire world is looking into this

Mini💘: Everyone thinks it's an "alien invasion"

Mini💘: Everyone from work is emailing me asking what my relationship with you is and if I know anything

Mini💘: Dahye this is bad

Mini💘: Are you okay?

Mini💘: You're probably sleeping

Mini💘: Your mom called me about the whole five month break thing

Mini💘: I'm glad you're getting rest, but it's so stupid that you have to deal with this

Mini💘: I promise I'll make the next month the best

Mini💘: I'll show you the life of a 21 year old

Mini💘: Don't let this affect you too much

Mini💘: We'll deal with it

Mini💘: Sleep well

I jumped out of bed and ran out into the living room. My parents and brother were already watching the news anxiously.

"What's going on?!" I asked frantically.

"Yesterday at the fight when the news team was there, something happened. The entire fight was great, because you were both up high that they wouldn't be able to make out your features and would only capture a generalization of the fight. Even when you hit the ground, it was too far away for them. But when Drakkar aimed a blast at the team, you went to save them. In the process, the camera caught a tiny bit of your side-profile. I guess people from school recognized you and started spreading rumors that it was you," my mom explained.
