63 : better plan?

Y/n was still in China after several weeks. Manami, Ruiqi, and Jia decided to accompany her to take care of her, and there, they met Y/n's mother and cousin Jiaqi, who stayed unexpectedly longer despite her tight schedule.

"So Y/n is going to act? Like... real acting?" chuckled Kiki as she chatted with the YXY members, Ziyin translating. Y/n rolled her eyes and sipped her hot milk. She made it herself. "Among the three of us, Y/n sucks the most in acting," Ziyin said, to which Kiki agreed. "But that was before; let's see how it goes now," Kiki said, lovingly patting Y/n's head. The youngest member of the family is the most adored.

"By the way, unnie, we thought there was a ghost in your room because there was this buzzing sound. Ruan got brave and barged in, it was just your phone being flooded with messages," Manami said, making everyone laugh. "And now the batteries are dead," Ruiqi said as she took Y/n's phone from her bag and returned it. "I think it's better if you don't use your phone for a while, because social media is very stressful," Kiki advised, and everyone agreed. Y/n was planning to shut down everything and live privately for a short period of time during her group's 2-3 month vacation, so she instructed 2Y1C1A1M1S-CHN to cancel her solo message subscription on their fan app.

She appears to have vanished like a bubble in the air from the public eye, raising more questions about her dating life. Many people believed the rumours were true, but because Kyungsoo is a good CEO, he asked the other members, particularly Ziyin, for confirmation before denying the rumours. Even so, Y/n's media problem was not resolved yet. Kyungsoo then issued a statement about Y/n's health which caused widespread concern. Finally, he did nothing about Y/n's rumor about an SNH48 member because Yixing will handle that. Mrs. Song also informed their Chinese CEO that Shiyu was her sister, so Yixing did not issue a public statement in response to her mother's request. Shiyu, on the other hand, received a lot of attention and interviews about this, which she immediately declined, claiming that they're just close friends like sisters and nothing more. Mr. Song has already told her that she cannot simply say they are sisters because of the ongoing threats against the family.

Xiaoting was mentioned by everyone in the house, including the members. Y/n still thinks about her of course, but she doesn't want to interfere with the other girl's schedule so she kept her distance. It's for the best for the both of them. Xiaoting, on the other hand, was told not to be concerned about Y/n. Kyungsoo called her once and told her that everything was fine for Y/n and that she needed to shut down everything for her emotional and mental health. Xiaoting understood and prioritised her promotions.

With the break in China, everything was going swimmingly. After a few more days, Y/n insisted on starting the web drama right away. They shot some scenes in China while they were still there because the two main characters were present. After seeing Y/n in public again, some fans recognised them and felt relieved. Their Chinese fans were courteous, allowing them to shoot without interfering.

Mrs. Song returned from her other business trip in Thailand and sent the group off during their final days in China. Y/n was disappointed that her father had not returned home to meet her this time.

"Be sure to drink your vitamins, alright?"
