✶Illuminate✶ Baekhyun - [Instagram]

Hera was somewhat prepared for the backlash. Baekhyun is a super popular idol with very protective fans. She didn't want her nor her friends to engage with the people who commented on her posts, so she told her friends not to say anything. Of course, Itzaria and Molly were concerned for her and wanted to defend Hera. But Hera has strictly forbidden them not to, and they knew that their words might just fuel up the situation.

Hera never had her Instagram notifications on, but she decided to have a detox and deleted the app from her phone. She's busy as it is, and negativity was the last thing she needs. She's with Kevin in his apartment. He was leaving the next day to America to fix things and Hera was having a sleepover at his place for the night. She was cooking some stew and a few side dishes for the two of them. "You okay hon?" Kevin asked, concerned. "Yeah. I'm fine. What about you? How are you feeling?" Kevin slouched on the large sofa that he has and let out a long sigh. "Nervous. But also happy that he's not leaving me." He answered with a small grin on his face. You chuckled, "Alright. Food's ready." Kevin cheered as he jogged over to the dining table. "You should open a restaurant." he praised. He took a seat and enthusiastically started digging in. "I wish I can bring this to America and share it with Samuel. But the god damn customs." Kevin grumbled. Hera took a bite of the kimchi and rice. Her phone suddenly rang, the familiar chime of her ringtone indicated a new text. She looked at the screen, but it was from an unknown number. She unlocked her phone, but it only said 'Hi'.

She left it alone, if it ended up being someone weird, she'll just block it. She continued to enjoy her meal, but it was once again disturbed when the screen lit up, and the ringtone played 3 times. "Who is it from?" Kevin asked. "I have no idea. It's from an unknown number." she didn't want to check her phone cause she wanted to enjoy her meal. But when it continued to ring, she decided to check it.

Unknown Number

Hi..

It's Baekhyun

Byun Baekhyun

I was just wondering if you're okay?

Oh! I got your phone number from your manager by the way!

Sorry if I'm disturbing you late at night.

And sorry if I appeared creepy. I was just concerned. ^o^"

Hera's eyes widened out of surprise. Kevin who seemed to notice that looked at her, concerned. "What happened? Is it a stalker?" He grabbed the phone out of her hand. Hera didn't even get to complain since Kevin already started reading the texts. He looked at Hera, back to the phone and back to her again. "Oh.. whoops. I guess it's not a stalker after all. " he smirked. Hera took her phone back harshly. "Don't just take my phone as you like," she grumbled. "Yeah, yeah. But what are you going to do?" Kevin asked curiously. Hera was getting irritated since Kevin's smug smile was still there. "It's none of your business. Just eat the damn food." She stuffed his mouth with kimchi. Kevin coughed and frowned from the sourness of the kimchi. He quickly chewed through it and swallowed it before gulping down water. "Are you trying to kill me?" he shouted. "Oh stop exaggerating." Hera rolled her eyes.

Hera looked back at her phone, wondering what to reply. She also questioned why her manager would give her number away so easily, she'll make sure to ask her manager tomorrow. She typed in the words.

Hey

Thank you for the text, now I know my
manager is giving away my number to strangers!

And thank you for the concern (it was a little creepy.. jk ^^). I'm doing well!

How are you?
