Junghwa's POV
I woke up to a motel and with a wet cloth over my forehead. I saw Alicia looking at the window. "Jen. You're awake!" Her worry turns to joy the moment I opened my eyes and moved a little that caught her attention.
"You're awake! I'm so sorry about Ale" She apologised to me before asking me how am I feeling. "Awful with the headache and fever." I said.
"I'm sorry for pulling you out like that, Papa and Mama will be back soon along with everybody with some food though." Alicia apologises again.
"When did you guys arrive here seriously?" I then nod my head asking the question I've been wanting to ask.
"For 2-3 weeks. We wanted to keep it a surprise until we saw the news and the attempted attack happened, you've no idea how much hate your brother got for this news." She explains nodding her head
"There's even news about the fiasco the De Hunts got involved on at your cafe." She adds on. "Seriously" I can't help facepalming.
"But how am I gonna go back now? You guys will sure get busted good." I ended up worrying also cause her family do have some status in the FBI world despite her father already not apart of the FBI.
"Worry less. We have some help here~"
I heard Donna's voice as she comes in with everybody else and some food. "Hello Donna." I bowed my head. "Long time no see Jen. You better not worry this matter and eat up first." Mrs McForbes tells me before she starts feeding me and begin lecturing me about her SELF-CARE stuff once again
Inhye's POV
Bora and I meet Christine up even though the guys aren't very impressed with her interfering.
"What?! Jen's bullies leaked everything and send people to attack Jen!!" Bora silently gasped in shock when Christine handed us some information at the cafe.
Christine passes us a recording she got from one of the attackers in the hospital who has been arrested. I recognised the voice to be that Becky girl who were harassing us the other day.
"Make sure you get this information leaked and find people to get rid Jeon Junghwa. Her existence will give more nonsense to this world." Becky tells the arrested attacker in the recording.
"Remember the 50 million won Mr Suwan promised." The attacker tells Becky. "I will. Miss Anong and Miss Gibbs will get Mr Suwan paying you handsomely." Becky says and the recording ended with an object dropping sound at the background.
"Oh no Jen…" I covered my mouth in shock hearing the recording.
"Do I contact Mr Suwan?" I ask. "No. It's not wise." Christine says
"Then what should happen?" I ask. "We need to open a conference." She suggests
"With who?" I ask. "A press conference to clear the hate Jen's getting." Christine says with a wide smile
"I think we have more important matters to deal with." I tell her. "Do you want haters at your cafe at a daily basis?" Christine then asks which got Bora and I freeze a little
"Look. Jen is missing. I think thats more important." I say. "But thinking about it, what if Jen comes back after the conference?" Bang Chan from Stray Kids walks in out of the blue, scaring Bora and I a little.
"I'm done." I say walking out. Bora pulls me back and takes the broom at Bang Chan. "WHO ARE YOU TO COME HERE AND MAKE A SCENE!" Bora shouts at him pointing the broom
"For god crying out loud, have you read the law of being rude to the employees?" Christine facepalms at this Chan guy
"You arent even in law school." I tell her. "I know I'm not in law school but I do have a South Korean law book at home I read every day." Christine says shrugging her shoulders
"Okay." I say not really listening to her after that. "If you want to help, kindly help and suggest some things over coming here and have people coming at you with the broom." Christine tells him.
"Sorry" Chan apologised and soon we see Blake coming over too. "Has anybody seen Jen yet?" Blake asks us
"Nope." We all say. "This is going out of hand I swear to god-" I can't help facepalming until Bora speaks up.
"We will do the conference only on one condition"
She says. "BORA! ARE YOU NUTS?!" I yelped in shock
"Don't yell!" Blake says. "Sorry" I apologised controlling myself. "On the condition, Inhye and I will have to conceal our identities cause we're still underage." Bora states her condition
They all nod. I pulled Bora over a little. "Yes?" Bora asks me. "Why are we honestly doing this?" I ask her.
"See it on the brighter side, Jen's getting lot of hate till people are attempting on her life in the hospital. If we don't come out speaking, will it prove everybody right about the hate Jen is getting? Good chance to prove to the world, Jen has people that will stand with and for her." Bora explains
"Not because she's an idol sister or ex-informant, but for who she is" She adds on
I just look at her. "And what about talking about and taking things to the police?" I ask. "We can hand the recorder over to them after this. But now, with this, we can help get people keeping a lookout for Jen and the more people we reach out, the sooner we can find Jen?" Bora analysed with me answering
"Okay." I say. After a while, we gotten ourselves some masks and sunglasses from Christine as the media came and we begin the press conference
