Chapter 2 : Solving the problem.

Third person point of view

When they reached the office, reporters were already hovering around waiting for them. Junkyu put on the mask, glasses and cap. Jihoon made sure to cover Junkyu. The security also helped Junkyu go inside without being bombarded by the reporters. Junkyu avoided everyone without saying anything and walked in.

He met up with his manager, Choi Hyunsuk on the way and all three of them went to the CEO's office. Their CEO, Kim Seok Jin was sitting in his chair. He had his head resting on his fist as he stared at the computer screen in front of him. Jin heard a knock and turned to look at the door. He saw the three of them and gestured for them to enter.

" You guys are finally here. Quick, sit down ". He turned to Junkyu. " Yah ! You are currently trending and the hottest search at the moment. What do you want me to do about it ? " Jin asked looking not that worried about it. Junkyu sat down and scratched his head. Jin continued to speak to him.

" What is even happening ? Why did I never even know about this lover of yours ? I thought you saw me like a hyung of yours ". Junkyu looked up at Jin with wide eyes. Jihoon and Hyunsuk both turned to Junkyu and then to Jin. " Even we didn't know anything ". Jihoon stated and Hyunsuk nodded in agreement.

Junkyu didn't know why they were already convinced over it. He opened his mouth in shock. He couldn't believe even they were speaking like this. How did they come to the conclusion without even knowing what happened ? He felt it was unfair. He didn't expect them also to believe what that stupid tabloid way saying.

" What are you guys talking about ? Why will I not tell you guys if I have a lover ? Even IF I didn't tell you both, at least Jihoon who stays with me all the time would know if I had a lover. Don't you guys think so ? " Junkyu asked pointing at all of them. Jihoon and Hyunsuk looked at each other thinking Junkyu was right.

" He is right though ". Jihoon said to Jin. " So you don't have a lover ? " Jin asked again turning to Junkyu. " No. I don't have any lover hyung. I don't even remember that guy's face let alone knowing him. And lover, my foot ". Jin was confused. " Huh ? Then what is all of this ? Also those pictures ? " Junkyu sighed.

" I was actually drunk hyung. You know yesterday's after party right ? They got me drunk and I got myself something to sober up and stumbled on my way out. He was entering and helped me up. That is all that has happened ". Junkyu explained and took a breath. Jin sat back in his chair. " Then what do we do about this ? "

" Take it down ? " Jihoon said and Junkyu nodded. " Are you sure ? " Jin asked once again. Junkyu nodded again. " What do you guys say ? " Hyunsuk thought for a second. " We will take it down, but let it be for a while more maybe ? His new drama is going to air in a few days. So let's just let this be for a while and then take it down. Free publicity doesn't come by often ".

Jin nodded. " That feels okay ". Hyunsuk nodded. " I will ask our team to reach out to the reporters about this and let them know about what we want to do ". Hyunsuk got up from his seat and went to the side. He called up the people he has to. " Even though you are on top, this much publicity for free really isn't easy ".

Jin said looking at his computer. Junkyu nodded. He was involved in scandals before, but they were baseless rumors and the company took care of it pretty easily. And it is the same even now, so he didn't really worry about it. Hyunsuk came back after finishing his call. " Hyung, it is solved ". " Good ". " I asked our team to prepare the statement to be sent to- "

Hyunsuk's phone rang and he stopped mid sentence. He frowned and went aside to pick it up. The other three didn't know what went wrong. Hyunsuk's expressions kept getting stranger. Junkyu and Jihoon exchanged a glance. They knew it was not a good sign. Hyunsuk hung up and came back looking like he heard something strange and a little worried.

" What happened ? " Jin immediately asked when he saw Hyunsuk's expression. " They are saying they won't take them down... ? " Hyunsuk said in a tone which showed he was also just as shook and confused. The other three felt like they heard it wrong. " Huh ? " Jihoon said and patted his ears and shook it a little.

" Did you just say they said they won't take it down ? " Junkyu asked doubting his hearing ability. Hyunsuk nodded. Jin found it just as strange. " Why ? What is it in it for them to not take it down ? It is not something that is happening for the first time or anything ". Jin asked. He did solve things before, so he didn't know what was wrong this time.

" Let me make a few more calls and confirm it again ". Hyunsuk went to the side and started calling people. The other three waited, a little nervous about it. Junkyu was shaking his leg waiting for Hyunsuk to come back. Hyunsuk finally finished and came back sitting down with a frown. " So ? " Jin asked looking at Hyunsuk.

" I asked them the same thing what hyung just said. Some of them said they don't know why too. But someone who is a little close said the actual reason. He said that the Watanabe company is behind it ". Jin frowned not understanding how this situation was unfolding. " Them ? What is this ? Why are they interfering with this matter ? "

Hyunsuk shook his head as an answer to Jin's question. " He said that he doesn't know and it is orders from above. Since they also don't know, I asked them to find me the contact so that we can talk to them directly ". Jin let out a breath. " Fine ". They all waited while thinking about how to solve the problem at hand.
