Annie clicked on the text, only to be met with a blank profile photo.

Of course, no one would be stupid enough to let it show.

She read the message again.

"Break up with him".

There was no name.

And she got the text just as Hyoseop dropped her off.

There was a big chance the person behind this thought she was dating him – and if that were the case, there was nothing to worry about.

But if it wasn't? If someone had found out about her and Minho? Then what?

She sighed, throwing her body on the bed.

"It's so stupid that we have to worry about our love life being exposed. I thought we were artists, not dolls meant to fulfil people's fantasies."

"True. But hey, even if the company finds out, I doubt they'll do something. They know how valuable you are. I don't think our fans are that selfish either."

Remi sat beside her.
