Chapter 20: Addressing Rumors

Inside the NOVA company headquarters, tension hung thick in the air as the staff gathered to discuss the recent rumors surrounding V's supposed relationship. Concern etched lines on their faces as they grappled with the implications of the viral photograph.

"How did this happen?" one staff member questioned, voicing the collective bewilderment of those present.

V, his expression a mixture of frustration and regret, shook his head in disbelief. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice tinged with remorse. "Perhaps they followed me. I was careless."

His words hung heavy in the air, a somber acknowledgment of the scrutiny that came with fame. But his fellow members rallied around him, offering words of comfort and solidarity in the face of adversity.

"This could happen to any of us," Max remarked, his tone filled with empathy. "We're all vulnerable to these kinds of rumors."

Their manager, a beacon of calm amid the storm, interjected with a sense of urgency. "We need to address this quickly," he declared, his voice firm with resolve. "Our company will release a statement refuting the rumors. Are you okay with that, V?"

V met the gaze of his teammates, their unwavering support bolstering his resolve. With a determined nod, he consented to the plan, knowing that it was the best course of action to quell the growing speculation.

As the meeting drew to a close, a sense of unity washed over the group, with their shared determination to protect their integrity and uphold their image as NOVA drove them forward. Together, they would weather this storm, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before.
