Chapter 125: Breached, but Not Broken 🔥

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Trina, run the 'Keep Calm' graphics. Jae, we need to push the 'What You Can Do' carousel higher."

"On it."

I'm bent over Jae's monitor with her, reworking the design flow for the awareness tab.

"Okay, but what if we add this little panic gif of Wacha yowling-like, 'Don't be like this cat. Check your privacy settings.'"

Jae snorts. "You want to meme our way out of a breach?"

"Only halfway. We'll sandwich it between real solutions."

"Fine. But only if we animate Yeontan pressing the 'Secure Account' button with his paw."

"God, you're a genius."

I glance over my shoulder-Yoongi and Si Woo are now in what I call "hacker lock mode," simultaneously working on layered firewall tracing.

They're trying to identify the original entry point. Every time they get close, the trail dissolves into itself-code rewriting in a mocking loop that leads nowhere.

Si Woo exhales sharply, eyes narrowed at the screen. "It's too clean," he mutters.

"I've never seen anything like this," Si Woo mutters. "It's like they wanted to be found. But only on their terms."

"They ghosted halfway through," Yoongi hisses. "It's like they made us chase them into a dead end just to prove they could."

"Noona!" Jungkook says as he enters, hair damp from a quick shower, face set with grim determination.

"I pulled my stream this morning. Told everyone about the LoveMap issue and that your team is already investigating the situation. Fans are worried. But they trust you guys."

I smile and thank him with a boop in the nose.

Hobi walks in a beat later, phone in hand.

"I've recorded a video to my followers. PSA, good vibes only-but real. Transparency, but comfort. Want me to drop it?"

I nod and smile at him in gratitude. "Yeah. That'll help. Thanks for the support, baby"

 Thanks for the support, baby"
