I get off my bed and walk into the living room, tired of trying to sleep for hours.

I walk into the living room and see Hyunjin sitting on the couch, looking at something on his phone.

My eyes widen when I see dried tears on his face.

I run to the couch and sit down next to him.

Seungmin: Hyunjin, what happened?

He doesn't respond and hands me his phone instead.

I take it and look at what he's reading.

It's an article titled "Where did Hyunjin and Changbin go?"

I start reading and immediately understand why Hyunjin is crying.

The article is filled with malicious theories about why they aren't at the company. 

To make it worse, the comments section is filled with haters insulting them, and even some fans who are angry that they aren't posting anything.

Seungmin: Hyunjin...

He looks at me and bursts into tears.

Hyunjin: H-how could they s-say that a-about me?

Seungmin: Shhh, it's okay... they're just jerks who're jealous of your success.

I pull him into a hug and pat his back to calm him down.

Hyunjin: B-but even s-some fans are-

Seungmin: They're not real fans if they do that.

He continues to cry as I try my best to comfort him.

After a while, he calms down and goes to the bathroom to wash his face.

Felix: Minnie! What happened? Why was Hyunjin crying?

Seungmin: You saw him cry?

Felix nods.

Seungmin: Then why didn't you come earlier.

Felix: You two were having a moment, and I didn't want to disturb that. So I just watched from behind the wall.

Seungmin: That's really creepy, Lixie. And we weren't having a moment, I was just comforting him since he was sad.

Felix: Sure...

I pout and start thinking of a witty comeback, but my thoughts get cut off when the doorbell rings.

I walk to the door and open it to see Jisung and Minho standing outside.

Jisung: Y'all ready to get started?

Seungmin: No-

Jisung: Too bad, now get your ass into the car.

He points at a black van parked outside the building.

Seungmin: But-

Jisung drags me into the car while Minho takes Hyunjin, who unfortunately just came back from the bathroom.

Felix skips to the car of his own will, that sneaky little guy probably already knew Jisung and Minho were gonna come.

Minho gets into the driver's seat and starts the car.

Minho: Let's get it!
