nagkakagulo na ang lahat.

mapa-fans man, anti-fans, non-fans, o pati na rin ang gusto lang makichismis o maki-usisa. lahat sila ay nakatutok sa instagram live ng seventeen's general leader, choi seungcheol at inaantabayanan ang mga ibabahagi nito.

"good evening, everyone. i am choi seungcheol, and i am the cousin of choi ysha." pakilala niya at tumungo bilang tanda ng pag-galang.

"if you're wondering, i am here to personally give you my own narrative regarding her bullying issue." patuloy nito.

maraming nagulat, maraming nagtataka. hindi nila inaasahan na sa buong korean industry, may isang tao ang maglalakas-loob na magsalita patungkol sa isang issue. hindi man mismo sa kaniya, pero para sa pinakamamahal niyang pamilya.

sa kabilang banda, ang mga miyembro ng seventeen at mismong si ysha ay nakakaramdam ng mga pinaghalo-halong emosyon.

kaba, takot, pag-aalala at galit.

hindi sila mapakali. seungcheol's already starting and he's still nowhere to be found. other members went out and are currently looking for him.

matapos kasi nitong kausapin ang pinsan, ay hindi na ito nagparamdam kahit sa mismong ka-miyembro. sinusubukan nila itong tawagan ngunit hindi naman nito sinasagot at palagi lang itong pinapatay. kaya napagdesisyunan na lang nila na hanapin ito.

the8, mingyu, dk and jun were driving and looking for him everywhere. naghiwa-hiwalay sila para pumunta sa lahat ng posibleng lugar na puntahan ni seungcheol.

woozi, jeonghan and joshua are contacting every person na kakilala ni cheol para tanungin kung may alam sila sa kung nasaan ang nakatatanda.

seungkwan, vernon and dino, ang maknae line na naiwan sa dorm para salubungin si seungcheol if ever na bumalik ito.

wonwoo and soonyoung, na minomonitor ang mga comments sa live ng leader nila.

and ysha, who's eyes are glued on her cousin.

"this won't be long. i just want to do my part and clarify the issue myself. in behalf of her, let me do this." he paused. "so first, i will read all the victims' tweets about my cousin's issue." they saw how cheol grabbed a phone and read the victims tweets aloud, one by one.

"mhm, so they say ysha's a bully. always yelling at other people, hurting them, blackmailing her friends, letting her classmates do her own homeworks and threathening people who's against her."

napakagat-labi si ysha sa narinig mula kay seungcheol. ano ba'ng pinagsasabi mo, choi seungcheol.

"ysha's been a bad person for you, huh? okay, and so these are your proofs?" may pinakita itong larawan sa screen.

it was a photo of ysha wearing her highschool uniform, hanging her palm in the air as if she's ready to slap someone who was kneeling in front of her.

seungcheol then swiped the screen revealing another photo. this time, it was a collage. the upper one was still her, it was a candid photo of her sitting on a bench while eating. the lower photo was where she was crouching down with a carton of milk in her hands. hindi gaanong kita ang taong kaharap niya dahil natatakpan ito ng mga pinagpatong-patong na lamesa. tila binuhusan nya ang taong ito ng inuming hawak nya.

seungcheol swiped again and a photo of ysha, laughing with her two friends were seen.

"how come that most of you believed something immediately without any solid evidences at all? at pinaniwalaan niyo agad ang lahat ng ito without even a confirmation from her and the management?" he asked in disbelief.
