As always, the internet was full of life. When things were posted online, countless eyeballs laid eyes upon them. People breathe heavily out of their nostrils when they see something funny or slapped their knees in response to their oppa. It was a very common thing to do.
In this case, screams that sounded like dying chickens resounded all over the world. Excited fans spread the word with palpitating hearts, eliciting even more squeals and bloody noses. It was an amazing occurrence.

YellowCat: You are entitled to as much imaginary boyfriends as you like. It's alright, we understand you comrade.
Invincible_Perv: orz
The lurker lifted her head up from her phone and glanced over at her friend. They were hanging out at her house not really doing anything. Perv looked back at her, smiling nervously.
"...You have a boyfriend?" Lurker asked, sounding calm but not really.
Perv stiffly nodded her head. "Uh, yeah, 2 weeks. Was planning to tell you once things were, you know, stable, actually going to remain the same."
Lurker narrowed her eyes at her dear friend. "You should have told me. I didn't even know you were crushing on a guy."
"He's a friend from work. He confessed to me and I thought he was pretty cute so I said yes." Perv bashfully replied.
Lurker scoffed. "Make me a milkshake if you want me to forgive you."
Perv beamed with relief and joy. "Alright. What flavour?"
"Banana."
And thus, Dylan's two biggest fans reconciled and his unofficial fan club was established. Of course, as usual, Dylan and them were unaware of such an occurrence. If only they had read the comments…It was not until after Dylan made his official debut as a model, that he realised his overwhelming popularity even in this other world. But that is another story for another time.
Dylan was currently waiting for Fir to come back and was killing time alone in the living room. Charlotte was still getting ready and Janine was, well, also getting ready.
Bored, Dylan inspected his jacket carefully. He found that, unexpectedly, despite the heat, it didn't feel hot wearing the jacket. Charlotte must've taken the weather in consideration when designing the jacket. She used cool materials and ensured that even in summer, it could be worn. The downside was that it couldn't be worn in winter though. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a jacket, but, hey, it looks good! That's all that matters yeah?
Dylan slumped down onto the couch, his hair sliding down to meet his eyes. Twirling the golden hair, he recalled an insignificant memory from his youth. It was of a day filled with laughter and warmth.
"There, I'm done!" Matthias exclaimed as he released Dylan's head. He displayed a proud smile on his face and gave Dylan a mirror. "Pretty good, huh?"
Dylan burst into laughter. "What is this? I look like clown!" His hair was dyed an array of colours, vibrant and bright.
Matthias joined in the laughter. "A rather splendid one at that!"
Through his laughter, Dylan reprimanded Matthias. "Matt, I need to be inconspicuous, this defeats the purpose of the disguise."
"Haha, I know, I know." Matthias giggled. His eyes narrowing into pleasant arches and mouth a joyful slit. He looked exactly like an innocent school boy, not the murderous friend betraying fiend that he now was.
Dylan sighed at the memory. He sat up and cupped his hands in serious thought. After the initial shock, hatred, anger and intense rage, all was melted into deep sorrow and confusion. He surprisingly didn't hate Matthias anymore after all that he had done. But Dylan rationalised that Sherry wasn't dead, and he wasn't dead either, so what was there to be so hateful about? Deep within his heart, was the desire to let go of his anger towards Matthias, in hopes of moving on and striving towards a better future. He wanted to be able to think back to memories of the past and instead of sighing and pondering over them, just remember them as good and goofy moments of his youth. Such was his heartfelt wish.
