『wha, ...ah, ...S, Seungkwanie, ?』
「...I told you to rely on us.」
『...Why, 』
「......hut up」
『Why are you here?』
「...I was worried so... I followed you here and, ...Hyung came out so, ...」
『...You followed us?』
「...Ahh, shut up...! Am I not allowed to worry?」
『But, ...Seungkwanie, your face is red... ㅋ』
When I laugh, it turns even more red.
「...Y/N, sorry」
『...Hm?』
「...What about being on your side, ...」
『...What are you saying. Seungkwanie, you're ki, 「It's not enough, 」..., 』
「Just being kind, ...isn't enough..., If I'm not strong, I can't protect my precious people, I learned that, 」
『...Seungkwanie, 』
「...I'll, become stronger... I won't, let you get hurt anymore」
『...It's okay Seungkwanie, ...I like you better this way.』
「...but, 」
『..., I'm fine. Seungkwanie you're not supposed to fight, ...You go better with healing』
「That doesn't make me happy」
『Why? You know that I mean, I can't do anything without you?』
「...Really?」
『Really.』
「...Well then, I'll treat your wounds now.」
『...Haha, thank you.』
Seungkwanie made me sit on a chair near by and looked all around to find the things that I'll need. Seungkwanie makes a wry face every time he sees my scars... He really is a kind person from the bottom of his heart, I thought again.
「..., This is horrible... Can you bend, this part?」
『...Yeah, it's okay』
「Good..., You have internal, bleeding all over your body, ...」
『...I see, 』
『...But it's not like I can't walk anymore. All of you are so over reacting...』
「Of course, ...There's no way we can ignore you, when a member is being put through this」『...Member』
I wonder if Junie-Oppa saw me as a member... I wonder if that's why he helped me like that..., Even though I think that way..., I'm still scared.
「...It's okay, you can still go on stage」
『...Okay, 』
The only good thing was that I'm not bleeding. If they're just bruises I can hide it with make up and most people won't notice it.
「...I heard that Make up Noona, quit」
『..., 』
「...It's this easy」
『...What?』
「...It's this easy...To change someone's lives」
Seungkwanie says, as he keeps treating my wounds.
「...Okay, we're done」
『Thank you, 』
「What's with that stomach. You're way too skinny, do you want mine?」
『No.』
「Take it. It's free.」
Seungkwanie cleaning up as he laughs, took his phone in hand.
「There's so many messages from the Hyungs...」
「...Wha, ?」
『..., Seungkwanie?』
「, Y/N..., Let's hurry back, we're in big trouble, ...」
『wh, ...What, ?』
「Just hurry..., 」
Seungkwanie made me get up, and grabbed my hand. I don't understand what's going on at all.
「Hurry up and get on, !」
Seungkwanie faces his back towards me and bends down. It's an emergency, I understood that one thing well.
『E, excuse me, ...』
「I'm going to run... I'm sorry if it hurts, 」
『Ok, ay...』
With my reply Seungkwanie started running forwards. He can run this fast with a person on his back... As expected from a man. Seungkwanie is cute but, his shoulder width and body... Is totally different from me.
「, We're here, 」
Seungkwanie stopped, in front of the meeting room.
『...What about the, practice room?』
「Everyone's in here, 」
『...Why?』
「I don't know very well either but, ...Let's just go inside, 」
...At the same time as Seungkwanie's words, the sound of a camera sounds. When I look back at the same time, ...There were people I've never seen before, who must have came to the company for some thing to do with their job. A few ladies, had their phones facing us.
「, 」
[Ah, they saw us, ...]
Whether they meant to say it in a quiet voice or not, the ladies laugh as they talk. They faced their phone away from us, and started tapping on the screen
「...It's too dangerous here, 」
They're probably, going to post it on the internet. They don't even know anything, how could they be doing such thing.
「Let's get in, 」
When we walked into the meeting room, everyone was already inside. Members other than me and Seungkwanie, Manager-Oppa, and a few staffs. On the table, is a tablet.
🐯「...Oh」
『..., Um, 』
🐉「Noona...!?」
🐭「Are you..., 」
🦊「Um, it there a chair」
👤「Yes..., Here you go」
🦊「...Thank you... Seungkwanie, over here」
Wonwoo-Oppa, grabbed me a chair. I thank the staffs, and ask Seungkwanie to put me down. The meeting room is completely quiet, and I couldn't imagine what was going to happen.
👠「...Y/N, 」
Unnie calls my name. How long has it been since the last time. I feel like it brings back memories, but not.
『...Yes, 』
👠「...These wounds, 」
『..., 』
👠「It's her, right」
When I nod, Unnie closed her mouth.
👠「It was actually, ...me」
『...What?』
👠「It was supposed, to be me..., 」
『Unnie, ?』
👠「..., 」
🕶「...I have something I want you guys to see...Y/N, it might be hard for you, ...but please, endure it just a while.」
A tablet is put in front of us. When Manager-Oppa taps it a video starts.
『..., 』
I can't tell who video taped it but, this is...our house, ?
『wha, ...』
🕶「...When there's this many, we...」
It not just one, two, three, ...there's a whole lot more, . And besides that, ...Sasaengs were yelling something.
『..., 』
🐴「...Y/N, 」
"Get out of here!!" At the same time we heard it, Seokmin-Oppa paused the video.
🐴「...I don't think there's a need, to watch this any longer」
🕶「...That's true... Right now this is what the house is like, so...I want you guys to stay here until this get's better」
👼🏻「By here, ...Do you mean the company?」
🕶「Yeah, 」
I thought everyone would look doom but, that wasn't true.
🐹「It's our first time since trainee time!」
🐰「Is it called going back to our beginner minds?」
The Oppa's are kind of hyped.
🕶「Hold on, ...This isn't all, I want you guys to see」
『..., 』
Again, ...Again, I have to watch a video, ...Where I caused trouble to everyone
🐶「...Y/N, 」
『...』
There was stuff about Junie-Oppa and I forgot about it, but.
I'm, going to put a mask on.
『..., I'll watch it』
🕶「...I don't know where this video came from but..., Apparently it's from a private account.」
『..., 』
🕶「..., 」
『......, , What, ?』
The scene I was just looking at, a few moments ago.
🐷「Hold on, ...What is, this, ?」
『Wa, it...Why, ...Unnie, , , w, hy, ...?』
Make up, Unnie...?
A video where I am being abused. It was being spread in an awfully fast speed.
『What does, this mean, ...』
🕶「...I don't know either, ...But, there's a bunch of pictures of you, posted, 」
『..., 』
🐸「...That's true, 」
Minghao-Oppa showed me someone's comment.
『, 』
"Y/N, was being harassed?"
Other than that video, me practicing alone, me vocal training alone, me eating alone, ...there's a bunch of other things posted.
『W, hy, ...』
On the internet, there are many people protecting me now.
🕶「I don't know either..., 」
『, ...』
The person who is doing this is, probably...No, for sure...,
It's Make up Unnie.
"Make up, was the one harassing Y/N"
A sentence, caught my eye.
"The Make up didn't like the new member, Y/N and harassed her. The 14 members and the staffs were threatened by the Make up. I am one of them."
『, 』
"I actually wanted to help Y/N, that was eating her sandwich alone."
This sentence, ...,
It's odd, ... Unnie's the only one, who saw me eating the sandwiches alone. This sentence..., can only be written by Unnie.
『, Where's Make up Unnie, !』
🕶「...This morning, since she gave us her retirement paper... We can't get a hold of her」
『..., no, 』
Unnie, ...Make up Unnie, ...What are you trying to do...?
👠「, ...That girl, ..., Saved us, ...」
Unnie, was the one who spoke with a shaking voice. Her eyes were red.
👠「..., She posted the information herself and, ...Made herself the bad guys, ... Including Y/N, ...She saved everyone here, ...」
『, 』
👠「That's why, ...,She did such thing, to Y/N, ...!」
I felt my body loose all of its muscles, for the first time.
🦍「..., 」
Unnie pretended that all of the things were her fault, and disappeared.
👠「..., I was actually supposed to be the one..., I, was actually supposed to disappear..., 」
『, ...Is there, no way to get a hold of her, ...』
🕶「...Yeah, ...」
🐉「..., Noona, 」
I look at the phone that Chanie held out. The stuff was, ask about me.
"See, Y/N didn't do it!!" "Make up is the worst..." "Is Y/N making up stories?ㅋㅋ" "Just don't involve the guy members" "She might have made this up" "Isn't this pretty bad...to be made up...?"
CARATs, even people who aren't, ...were talking, about us.
『..., 』
"Go back to the SEVENTEEN from before, "
"All the news are like this lately, ...Why aren't the members saying anything?" "Anyways Y/N's lover thing was totally photoshopped, and again..., I feel bad for Y/N." "Wouldn't it be best for Y/N to just quit? ㅋ"
...As I thought, it's my fault.
🐯「, ...No, Y/N......Don't make such face, ...Don't think about it, 」
『, ...But, 』
🐯「Don't be taken over by it, ...It might, come again, ...You're strong so, it's okay.」
...I tidy up my brain, and calm myself down. I felt like the black clouds, were slowly going away.
To be continued...
