The moment I became an idol I knew a lot would go down but I never thought it would be this much. Everyone was always trying to attack me to gain something. Something I couldn't give them.

The internet was buzzing with leaked photos of me and a female with captions like 'Chun Aria's ex-girlfriend?' Or 'Friends or lovers, Aria needs to speak'. It was disgusting how people couldn't mind their businesses these days. It made me pissed.

Of course Be: lift had promised to keep things under the wraps and protect me but I don't know how these surfaced. Stan Twitter was going crazy with negative and positive comments about me, most assuming my sexuality calling it 'amazing' or 'unprofessional'.

The boys and I were in one of the meeting rooms waiting for some officials to come in. I just finished talking to my brother and reassured him that I would be fine but I wasn't sure.

We talked with some officials for an hour and a half about the topic before things were set straight and we had decided that a statement would come out.

Hello.

This is BELIFT LAB.

ENHYPEN member ARIA has decided to not speak of this situation and we can't do anything but respect her decision.

ARIA doesn't know how the pictures got leaked nor does she want to talk about it. She will speak of this once the time comes and we would love it if you could accept her wish to keep this under the cover. Her sexuality is yet to be known to herself too so please don't spread rumours on the.

We apologize for causing concern to all fans by being unable to prevent the occurrence of this series of infections despite our effort to ensure that precautions were in place on-site. Our company will provide full support ARIA when the time comes. In addition, we will continue to cooperate fully with requests and instructions from government health authorities.

Thank you.

Things only got worse after the statement was released. I knew exactly who had leaked these pictures and I was beyond pissed. I didn't expect it nor did I not expect it. Attention deprived people who used others for clout.

I took to weverse and almost posted a picture with captions 'Lmao I'm straight, some people be wanting to drag me down but they can't.' But I don't because I knew that would be unprofessional.

Heeseung was also under fire for what he hopefully didn't do. Some Engenes were out for him everywhere because he said the 'N' word' which I hope he didn't. It's been a real uproar and we truly don't know if he said it or not.

We decided to ignore everything and go through with our schedule which was far more important than anything right now.

We were taking pictures for our season greeting. We all looked badass which I wasn't complaining about. We were all just playing around.

Niki started using his arrows for fun before I decided to step in. I asked if I could try and he gave it to me. I got one arrow and they went ballistic

"That was so good!" Heeseung said from behind me

"If we were going for the idol sports competition you'd win archery for us, where did you learn?" Jake asked

"We did archery at home, by the stables," I explained to him

From there, they all asked me about my childhood with Jungwon making them not pry in too much. He helped me a lot.

Today was my birthday. We had such a busy schedule today though. I almost forgot it was my birthday.

None of the members told me happy birthday but I don't blame them, they're probably distracted. My brother and his friends got something for me and sent it to the dorm so I might not open it until nighttime. I was also said to do a solo V Live for my birthday which was new considering all the members didn't have solo V Lives for their birthdays but I didn't question it.

Our Sunbaes told me happy birthday too. Yoongi and the maknae line along with the rest of BTS as a whole sent a gift to the dorm-like my brother did but TXT sent 5 different gifts there. I was torn.

I decided to speak about it. We were listening to some vocals when I started to speak.

"Something seems special about this day don't you think?" I squeaked

"I can't pin anything down sorry, the day is like any normal day," Sunoo replied

"Really? You guys don't remember anything about today?"

"Aria can you keep quiet, we're trying to focus on the vocals stop talking already!" Jungwon scolded taking me aback. He never yelled at me. I inhaled sharply and shut up.

"Better." I heard Niki mutter as I sunk deeper into my seat starting to overthink. Did they hate me? I mean it's about time, I knew I was always annoying. Did I do something? Did I piss him or all of them up? I didn't know...

I walked into an empty practice room and started my live. Most of the comments said something about my vibe being off but I pushed through and faked a smile before I slipped. I told them about how no one in the group wished me happy birthday but told them not to be angry because we were all busy today. As I was telling them that, the lights got turned off making me freeze then loud noise followed by a distorted happy birthday making some tears slip from my eyes.

They all hugged me but Jungwon's hug lasted the longest as he told me he was sorry for yelling over and over again. I told him it was fine but he justified that it was wrong.

We celebrated my birthday and ended the V Live together. It might have not been the best day but they made up for it and I was thankful
