Ten's POV

Okay, so Yeona is actually okay with us confirming our relationship to the public. I'd like to say that I played a part in her change of mindset, but I'm sure that it was mostly her. Still, talk about development.

Of course, as soon as we're done with the fun stuff, the first thing my mind goes to is reading through funny comments again. After a short "argument" with Yeona, I win, and we get to resume the activity.

"My goodness, I still can't believe you roped me into unproductivity," I hear her mutter as I unlock my phone.

A smug smile appears on my face. "It's not unproductive to do this. You gotta learn to have fun, which is exactly what we're doing right now."

Before she has a chance to answer, I've already pulled up the first comment.

     NO MIND UR LANGUAGE

"The best friend energy here is strong," I remark. "They seem like the friends who hate each other but are still somehow best friends."

Yeona nods, a small smile on her face. "Exactly."

     me_loves_chunmei
     
THANK YOU WE'LL NEED THEM

"For real, Dispatch needs to learn what privacy is. I wish there were a way for us to give them a taste of their own medicine or something," Yeona mutters, probably already done and tired of the annoying media news outlet.

iwannawinwin

     iwannawinwin

     diya_czennie
     
EXACTLY smh dispatch is just jealous

"I'd be jealous too if I were Dispatch," Yeona randomly says, and then probably realizes she said her thoughts out loud and tries to cover it up with, "I mean, these people are speaking facts."

"Nice try, but you didn't save yourself," I laugh. I want to keep teasing her, but the hate comments are coming, and I want to read them.

     Hater1

"And that's a hater down," I announce, making a finger gun and tilting it back in a shooting motion at my phone. I get a good laugh out of Yeona, which was my goal, and then we continue.

     me_loves_chunmei
     
alright let's get it

"This group of people is really out to protect us," Yeona laughs, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiles at the screen.

"I know, right? I wish I could join their party, whether or not it's real. I don't own any weapons, but I'd get Xiaojun to bring Oreo cake or something," I agree. Again, I get a laugh out of Yeona, which in turn makes me laugh too.

We spend another good 30 minutes scrolling through comments, making remarks about them, and laughing and having fun.
