Happy Independence Day America, 4th of July and for the rest of the world I hope yall have a wonderful day too! =) *
Nix's P.O.V.:
-Phoenix - 'Shit, I thought it could not get any worse but sounds like Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan has or had it almost as bad as me. Poor guy no wonder he offered his shell so that I can help to prevent this all from happening and make his dying wish come true.'
-Solaris - 'Well unfortunately that is still not everything.'
-Phoenix - 'What do you mean that is still not everything? How much worse can it get? No scratch that I seem to jinx things when I ask that stupid ass question! So please just go on and tell me what happened next so that we can finally move on. I am getting hungry.'
Just after he said that to Solaris through their mind link a loud gurgling and cranky sounds come from Phoenix's belly. Phoenix instantly went red with embarrassment until he remembered he was alone and hidden under the wisteria tree and its long vine like limbs and flowers provided him with enough coverage to give him a bit of privacy.
Solaris wisely chose not to say anything at this time, but he could not help but chuckle in his heart over how cute his Mama was. He could not keep the smile off his face though so it was a very good thing that he still had his cloaking on so that not even his Mama Phoenix could see him, or else he would definitely be in trouble.
-Solaris - 'Ok then let's hurry so we can go get some food. Shall we make this quick?''
-Phoenix - 'Yes please do. So, they falsely claimed he was sexually harassing and assaulting people with his dominant omega pheromones? What next, I know it cannot be good if I am now in habiting the shell. Also do we know who the culprit behind all this mess is? Please tell me we do or else this will be extremely difficult to deal with, but I do have a few ideas just in case.'
Well, once the allegations of sexual harassment and assault came out against Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan came out the starnetizens were all united in outrage, including the few that still supported Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan and they wanted his blood and head.
-Phoenix - 'Wait they actually wanted his death?'
-Solaris - 'Yes it started out as a few comments here and there about how only his blood being spilled could atone for his sins he committed because if they let him off then any dominant omega or alpha would think they could act this way too. Which is not the truth but as you know all too well, mob mentality is not the smartest...
Anyways, once that mindset started to gain traction several post doxing not just Phoenix but his whole family started making the rounds. Before Phoenix could even see the post people started to come in droves to his family restaurant on Luna Bellflower as well as their restaurant back on Kythera 88.
They were all protesting against the restaurant and their farms while demanding they turn over Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan to them. At first it was just peaceful protesting. All of the workers were scared and did not know what to do. On one hand Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was not at the restaurants or the farm because his parents thought it best, he stays home and out of the public for the time being, as well as they did not want any harm to come to him because he was not just family but also innocent.
On Lunna Bellflower Mr. Beyol went outside to let the group of protesters know that Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was not there and to ask them to please leave he was assaulted with a rotten fruit to the head.
When someone in the group of protesters threw a rotten fruit at Mr. Beyol, it broke the dam that had been holding the protesters back and with mob mentality the group of protesters turned into a mob instantly and started hurling anything they could at Mr. Beyol and the restaurant.
Though Mr. Beyol hurried inside when they started hurling things at him and the restaurant, he was not quick enough to avoid a rock that was thrown at the back of his head. He ended up with gash in the back of his head along with a concussion. He needed to get into the family-owned healing pod, but it was only equipped to handle smally injuries, so while it took care of his wound it could not help with his concussion. Because of the restaurant being surrounded now he could not go to the nearest urgent care center where they had state of the art healing pods.
Due to the protesters and the vandalism to the restaurant and farm the whole Beyol family decided with trepidation that it was best to close their doors for a bit until this storm passed, however long it may be, if ever. Byeol Bong Tae-Hwan and his mother took it worse than the others.
As a mother, Tae Eun-Kyung could not bear to see the lies and hate that the starnetizens, media and the public were spreading about her child. When the mob stated to demand that she and her family hand over Byeol Bong Tae-Hwan to them so that they could exact justice, for all his evil doings and began to harass her other family putting them in danger was too much for her, resulting in a heart attack. This time they were, thankfully able to get her to the nearest urgent care center and straight into a healing pod.
The Beyol family did not know where all these lies were coming from or even how to fight them, but they did know one thing, Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was innocent, and they would fight for him and protect him until their last breath. All they had were each other and a few very close friends that were practically family.
They were all unaware that the puppeteer who was pulling all the strings the whole time was right in their mist the entire time and was secretly relishing in their misery and down fall. The puppeteer was determined not to stop until Beyol Bong Ta-Hwan was dead.
The starnetzines and the public were out for blood and demanded his blacklisting from everywhere. There was also a large amount of people calling for Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan to commit suicide. They were claiming that he was the worst of the worst and that he and his whole family deserve to die.
Throughout all this Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan's best friend, who was like a sister since they grew up together, Lee Eun-ae was by his side the whole time. He honestly never could have made it this far without her. Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was very grateful she remained by his side because she is an actress, and he knew she was risking her whole career just to remain friends with him.
When Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan's family was doxed, they began receiving death threats as well. Both restaurants on Luna Bellflower and Kythera 88 were strong armed robbed and vandalized both outside and inside in addition to them being looted.
The Beyols had to let go of all their non-family employees that had not already quit, for fear of their well-being. They were honestly more worried about the innocent people who worked for them as well as the family then they ever were for their livelihood. Their first priority has and always will be the wellbeing of those in their care, they truly treated all their employees as if they were close family, so it was a hard blow to them to see them suffer so unjustly.
The family moved back to Kythera 88 and did all they could to keep a low profile, when their restaurant and home were burned down. Despite it being a clear case of arson the corrupt fire marshal that presided over the investigation deemed it to be an accident caused by negligence. Thus, resulting in the Beyol's being fined and their insurance company dropping them. In one night, they lost everything they worked so hard to establish on Luna Bellflower.
Beyol Shin and Tae Eun-Kyung remained strong because they still had what mattered most, their children and each other. Their motto was that possessions can be replaced by people cannot and at the end of the day those were all just things, but they still had their most important and precious gifts their children. All the while Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was slowly losing his mind as he helplessly watched on in horror as his family and loved ones were forced to endure relentless harassment from all sides.
Throughout all this Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan's family never blamed him and continued to support him while doing all they could to hold on, keeping the family strong. They could see how hard this whole nightmare was for their precious Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan, who had always been their family's sunshine and the one who would always smile no matter what, as he no longer smiled and became an empty shell of the person he used to be. Beyol Shin and Tae Eun-Kyung could tell their son was on the brink and they were doing their best to help him, but it was futile.
The straw that broke Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was when his little brother Beyol Joon was jumped at school and beaten so severely that it put him into a coma. The kids that were involved left him for dead. Other students and the school faculty not only witnessed them beating Beyol Joon but did not even try to stop it. It was not until a substitute teacher called 911 that the faculty made any action to help Beyol Joon as they could not have it reported that a student was severely harmed, and they did not even lift a finger to help him. Unsurprisingly, all the students involved got away with barely a slap on the wrist.
With no one else to turn to Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan reached out Lee Eun-ae sobbing telling her about Beyol Joon. Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan sobbed and lashed out to no one in particular, asking "Why this was all happening. What did I or my family ever do to deserve all this? Lee Eun-ae thank for always being there for me, I know that you always have my back."
With a blank expression Lee Eun-ae listened to Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan as a flash passed through Lee Eun-ae's eyes so quickly it was difficult to discern what emotion was behind it. Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan was not sure if he saw it correctly or not, but that flash gave him chills for some reason. He had an ominous presentiment.
