"Hikari, the youngest member of the top girl band, the Wallflower Roses, is in a secret relationship with the genius movie director, Kenny?"

The title was trending just minutes after the picture of Dawn and Kenny hugging each other in the mall and some other pictures sent to one of the biggest gossip news online. Millions of netizens view the article, commented on it, and share it with others. It had become the top in the list. Fans of Kenny was forcefully attacking the girls, especially Dawn. The fan base for the girls was not enough to win against Kenny's fans. However, as the battle continues online, the girls have no idea what is going on.

"I am going to the bathroom. Will be right back," May said as she stands up from her seat and walks out of the private room. She walked down the hallway and into the main dining area where there are a lot of customers ordering and eating their food. The bathroom was at the very end of the dining area so May walked across the roomful of people who would potentially recognize her.

May went into a stall in the bathroom when she heard the main door of the bathroom opens and two people walked in. May was about to leave the stall before she suddenly hears important news.

"I never believed that Hikari was such a person. Here I thought that the Wallflower Roses was something extraordinary. Apparently, they are just like any other group out there. Really is disappointing," one voice said.

"Wasn't it all-girl groups? I just hate how they make themselves so superior when they are not. It makes me mad. They are just like other groups so what makes them arrogant?" the second voice exclaimed.

May stated in the stall as she listens to the conversation. She knew that it is not right but if she moves now because she would be targeted and the Wallflower Roses would be ruined forever. She stayed very quiet. When the two women left, May walked out of the stall and goes to the sink to wash her hands. She looks into the mirror on the wall and frowns a little. May understood that when they decided to enter the entertainment industry, they are going to be judged by the public and even if they didn't want to be judged or they don't care, it will cost a tremendous effect on them mentally. She went to dry off her hands and then she walks out of the bathroom. As May walked past the endless rows of tables to get to the hallway where the private room as she noticed a particular green sitting in a booth just a few yards away from her. She frowns before we looked away and continue walking as if she didn't see him.

The said person was Drew, who came out with Gary, Ash, and Paul to have lunch. They were planning out their next album when they decided to go out and have lunch. However, they would have never thought that they would see their rival in the same restaurant as them. The boys saw the news that was trending online and by the look of it, it seems that the girls haven't known it. The boys looked at each other and Drew's suddenly decided to stick out his foot, attempting to trip the incoming May who was in disguise.

May saw the feet and pretend she didn't say it and step on the feet before continuing to walk.

"Ouch!!" Drew exclaimed as he glared in May.

May stopped walking in turn toward Drew. "Are you okay, uncle?" May asked, indicating that Drew looks older than her in his disguise and that she doesn't know what she had done wrong.

"My feet suddenly hurts," Drew said as he continues to glare.

"You should go to the hospital to check," May respond indifferently.

"You should check online and see that there is any traffic," Drew said, indicating that she should see what is going on online.

May narrows her eyes as she walked toward Drew and bows lowly, to the point where her mouth is close to Drew's ears. Drew flinched at the closeness of the unexpected female as he can smell the sweet scent of rose from his distance. "I know, Mister Drew Hayden. You don't need to tell me. However, I should also let you know that my friend would not do anything of that sort. If you are trying to go against my friend, go against me. I want to let you know that every gossip has a loophole. As long as you can convince your audience, it doesn't matter. So tell me, Mister Hayden, with my background, do you think that the gossip would stop us? I know you investigated my group and the members," May whispers into his ears before standing up straight again. "I am sorry, Uncle. There is no traffic or accidents on the road. If your foot really hurts, you should go before it causes even more damage," May said before she turns and left.

The boys looked at Drew as he turns around. His shocked face slowly turns into a smirk. (RAN: I feel evil. May! You are playing with fire!)

"That girl is the leader of Wallflower Roses?" Paul asked.

"Hmm..." Drew hummed.

"Her disguise was good. I would have never noticed it if she didn't glance at us as if she knows us," Gary laughed.

"What did she said?" Ash asked.

"We have a good drama coming," Drew said as he starts eating.

May managed to walk to the hallway before taking out her phone and look at the trending news. She reads the written article and frowns a little. "They actually write pretty well. However, they get the wrong target. Pretty convincing though," May thought as she logged on to her another account that no one knows. She looked at the same news and commented on one sentence that would be the next trending topic.

'Didn't the top movie director and the person he was hugging having similar face?'
