"Come here," Jay says, pulling her to lean her frame to his chest as his hand started playing with her soft locks, while his other hand was possessively wrapped around her thin frame, almost hugging her.

"What if it also happened to us? " She asked, tilting her head to look at her lover's eyes. "What will we do? "

Jay sighed, as he guided her head to lean back on his chest. "I don't know baby. Let's just hope not. " He kissed the crown of her head then gazed back on the view of the river in front of them.

"I feel bad for them. " Eunjung started, genuinely feeling bad for her sister by heart and to the man she's secretly in a relationship with. "Like why can't they be at peace? Why someone always invades our personal lives, our privacy and share it to the public? "

"That's just life, love. We just had to endure it. " Jay replied, the same words his members tell him before when he have his downs. "Plus don't worry about those two, our management already released a statement and fortunately, the issue lessened, unlike last night. "

That's true. Since the released of statement, the rage that fans have, lessened and that also means the issue is slowly dying down.

Earlier today, Jay had a talk with Sunghoon about the issue. He found out that the man was oblivious about the article that suddenly broke the internet last night, that is until this morning.

Jay asked him if he's okay which the younger answered with a faint smile, an answer which he immediately understood.

He is, yet he is not.

Of course, who would be happy if you just denied the relationship you had with your partner? And in Sunghoon's case, it's not just a normal dating thing, it's on another level since they're already husband and wife. Married. But on the other side, he knew that the ravenette was relieved about the fact that no one, except them, have found out.

And now, fans are excited about the mixtape. Jay can tell since it was all over the internet now. Fans even trend it on twitter, showering Sunghoon's upcoming mixtape some love.

After a few minutes, the two decided to leave the park with their disguise on. Jay dropping Eunjung to their dorm before he drove towards theirs, which is a bit far but he didn't mind.

Just expected, the others are already asleep so he went to his shared room with Jake as quiet as possible to not be able to wake up the others. Especially that today was a tiring day and they needed to get up early tomorrow.

Being an idol is hard, and being this successful idol group is even harder. And it's not that they're complaining or something, in fact they're grateful that despite being this busy with a tight schedules, the fans never stopped on supporting them. And they've been receiving an endless love which inspires them to continue what they're doing. And to do their best for their fans.

After changing into pj's, Jay turned the lights off and get under the duvet, his mind goes back to what Eunjung had said.

What if it happened to them? What if the thing happening to Sunghoon and Rian, also happened to them? They can't use the same reason the two used about having a collaboration because that would be too obvious. So what they'll do?

Honestly speaking, Jay might go and straight up announced the confirmation of him and Eunjung dating in public if it happened to them. Might because the issue involves the two of them and he needed to know what his girlfriend has in mind, especially that their management is strict when it comes to this kind of things.

Jay sighed as he closed his eyes, trying his best to sleep even though he's not sleepy, which he, soon, succeeded as he drifted to a deep slumber afterwards.

"This is bad"

A while ago, Jay tried his best to sleep which he succeeded, only to be forced to wake up by their leader and made everyone gather on the living room.

What for? They didn't know and didn't even have the slightest idea. And that makes everyone frustrated but it's not like they have a choice or something. In fact, this only means that there is an issue that needed to be addressed between them.

Was there another fight?

Because that's mostly the reason why they gather like this, before. So maybe there's a fight between certain members and that needed to talk tonight, right at this moment.

"Sunghoon? Where is Sunghoon hyung? " Based on Jungwon's voice, he seems like refraining himself to panic.

Just as their leader dropped the question, that's when they realized that the man wasn't in the living room. Jungwon immediately asked Heeseung to look at their member and to wake him up to his own room.

Jungwon is anxious, you can see it clearly as he pace back and forth in front of them, who are sleepily sitting on the couches, waiting for the talk to be done so they can continue their sleep.

After a few minutes, Heeseung went back to the living room with a confused look on his face. "Sunghoon wasn't there. "

Jay instinctively gazed on Jake who also did the same to him.

"Someone... Can someone call him? "

"I will. " Jake immediately volunteers, standing up to get his phone on his shared bedroom.

"What's happening? " Sunoo asked, drowsiness displayed on his perfect face.

"I'll tell when we're already complete." The leader shortly answered.

Soon, Jake goes back to the living room with a satisfied look, telling that Sunghoon is on his way.

"It's already passed midnight, where was he? " Heeseung asked, voice hoarse.

"On his parents house. " Jake answered then silence engulfed the room as they patiently, except Jungwon, waiting for Sunghoon to arrive.

After a while, the door opened revealing a rather confused Sunghoon. The man closed the door behind him before making his way towards the others who are gathered in the living room and sat beside Sunoo who's now seconds away from sleeping.

"What's happening? " Sunghoon asked Sunoo who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Since everyone is here now, let's start." Jungwon said, finally sitting down beside Jay who's confusedly looking at their leader. Once the latter adopted a comfortable sitting position, he looked at Sunghoon then to the rest of the members then back to the ravenette afain. "Sunghoon hyung, I want you to know that you can count on us, and I want you to be honest here so we can form a solution. "

By now, all eyes are directed to Sunghoon who's wearing nothing but a confused expression. "What happened? "

"Second article broke out and I want to ask you what's really your relationship with a member of the group HerShe, Rian? "
