It Began With a Text

Protection Squad

Channie has added Jinnie and Binnie to a group chat.

Channie has named the group chat Innie Protection Squad

Channie:

yall remember our small talk from before, right?

Binnie:

yeah. shouldve known we'd have to regroup soon

Jinnie:

smart idea. now we dont have to delete messages so the others wont see

Channie:

ok, lets analyze the facts

Channie:

here are all the worrisome signs that innie has shown. some i may be looking too much into but others are concerning 4 sure. I'll use proper grammar:

Channie:

. He doesn't seem to have any friends aside from us.

. He is really eager for attention in our group and is always looking for signs that the rest of us like him. I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all, we gotta love Innie.

. He once mentioned that he can't share his real name and face for "personal reasons". Why add that extra detail in? He could have just said he or his parents are cautious. It's almost as if he's implying there's another reason.

. His classmates and teachers seem to be against him. Classmates, maybe I can understand, kids can be jerks. But teachers!?

. Like, the kid was up at 2am trying to figure out homework that none of his teachers would help him in. He isn't allowed to have his phone in class with him. And there's also the recent cheating incident, and if we're to be real here, teachers aren't even allowed to act that way. Why is it suddenly okay when it comes to Innie? Heck, even his PRINCIPAL seems to be against him.

. Also, he mentioned that no matter what school he goes to, "it won't make a difference". Could that imply that it's not a problem with his school, but with Innie? Gosh, that's horrible to think, but it's all so confusing.

Channie:

so yeah, thats what i got

Jinnie:

woww, quite the detective chan!

Channie:

what can i say, im just paying extra attention when it comes to innie

Jinnie:

it all seems crazy sus thought, ngl.

Binnie:

idk guys...

Channie:

what is it?

Binnie:

like, i hate to think that there could be something horrible behind the scenes when it comes to innie and its all so strange, but... arent we all entitled to our secrets? im just worried that investigating further is invading innie's privacy

Jinnie:

i agree with u, i really do. but this isnt just about secrets, something wrong is happening, and innie is the target. if we find out whats going on... couldnt we help him?

Channie:

i agree with both of u guys. something is going on and we cant just ignore it

Channie:

but we shouldnt pry. if we want to know whats happening, innie is going to have to tell us

Jinnie:

but... what if he doesnt?

Channie:

then we'll have to ask him if things get concerning enough. dang... this is hard. i dont really have the best answer 4 this

Binnie:

lets keep this chat though. we'll stay on the lookout. we just need to make sure not to overanalyze everything and stick with what innie tells us for sure, like the incident with his test.

Channie:

agreed

Jinnie:

its so weird... like, we all have talked in this chat 4 some time now and some of us even have our real names and photos revealed. but we'll never know anything else. any of us could be hiding secrets, there will always be something we dont know.

Channie:

wow, i never really thought about that... its understandable though

Binnie:

minnie has a secret 4 sure. and i have a sneaking suspicion that minho also has some stuff behind the scenes. but in the end, it might be innie who has the biggest secret of all. just a gut feeling thought, dont trust me

Jinnie:

wow, this is beginning to sound like some drama!

Channie:

if thats the case, it better have a happy ending. binnie's right, everyone has the right to keep their secrets. and as long as those secrets arent going to affect any of us individually or the group as a whole, im totally fine with that. unfortunately, innie's secret is definately breaking the "affecting the individual" criteria.

Jinnie:

true, true.  thankfully, I doubt secrets will affect the group. we really have nothing 2 worry about

Binnie:

then looks like we can continue our gc journey with little worries. just keeping our eyes open a little wider

Channie:

sounds good to me mates. good meeting guys!

Jinnie:

👍👍👍
