Chapter 275 – 275. Scandal (2)
It goes without saying, but other than the three people I traveled with, I have never told anyone that I would go to Japan.
The same goes for the part-timer who is talking right now in front of you.
Of course, he didn’t necessarily say anything, but he didn’t act so meticulously that you couldn’t even guess.
Anyone who knows what kind of relationship I have with these girls will be able to predict well.
Likewise, Hwang Su-ah, who was trembling right in front of her, seemed to have noticed that.
… I never thought she wouldn’t know in the first place.
It was just a tacit agreement to assume that she had been on a trip to Jeju Island.
“… Who says that?”
“There is an account that spreads strange rumors targeting famous people, and there…”
“Show me.”
“Oh, wait…”
So I didn’t bother to tackle her, and went straight to the point.
Perhaps embarrassed by my refusal to deny it, she hurriedly took out her cell phone and showed me the car I was driving in Japan on the screen.
The quality of the picture was so poor that it didn’t even capture my face, but I could see the sleeves and the back of my hand, and I was able to get a clear picture of Seo Ji-ah and Hinami getting into the back seat.
Of course, this alone is no problem.
Common sense tells us that it is much more realistic for two women around the age of 20 to take a driver with them rather than go on a trip and drive the car themselves.
But the problem is.
It was a rumor that was added by talking about the unmarked photo as evidence.
｢Recent status of ‘that female idol’ who recently tested positive for drugs
Looks like you had a great time with ‘Jjinchin’ in Japan
Looking at the driver’s wrist, it could have been done by three people?
If I had taken the medicine, I would have been really sick haha”
“… “What on earth are you talking about?”
“Yeah, right… ? I was dumbfounded when I saw it too…”
… The media company that made a fuss about me and Seo Ji-ah last time is a rumor that is much more base and completely baseless, so much so that it cannot be compared.
I think my heart would have been pounded if they had involved me and spread a rumor that was close to the truth, but this was so absurd that I was purely angry.
I sometimes wondered where the unmarked slander floating around on the Internet came from, and it turned out to be somewhere like this.
But what was funnier than that ridiculous rumor was that this bullshit was surprisingly popular.
Every time you refresh, the number of retweets increases noticeably.
Like bacteria left on culture paper, exponentially.
“Don’t these kids get sued?”
“Ah…, It’s not like they messed with one or two people, but seeing as they still haven’t been caught…, Probably overseas…”
“Know. … “I just tried it.”
However, unlike germs that disappear when sprayed with alcohol, unfortunately, there was no good disinfectant for the bullshit on Twitter.
If it had been so easy to catch in the first place, Seo Ji-ah would have been caught a long time ago when she secretly uploaded her sexy photos to her secret account.
So I couldn’t laugh off this nonsense that was getting so many retweets even though it was absurd, but there wasn’t anything I could do about it either.
“… First, let me tell you, neither I nor they took the medicine. “The person who appeared in the article was another member of the same group.”
“Uh…, Uh, you can tell me that… ?”
“Anyway, there was an article saying that the test came back positive, but your real name will probably come out soon. … “You know it’s more dangerous anyway, right?”
“Ah…”
“… And talking about it to you means nothing.”
Even if I talked about it here with Hwang Soo-ah in real life, it really meant nothing.
It’s the same even if you talk to anyone other than him.
No matter what was said in reality, there was no way to stop rumors spreading on the Internet.
No matter how persistent and disgusting the reporters are, who are everywhere, they are people who criticize themselves when they write, so they can demand ‘corrections’ and, in some cases, borrow the power of the law.
However, the anonymous people who spread false rumors purely because they enjoy sending people to hell could not be rooted out because there is no such thing as reality.
You may be lucky enough to catch only a few who are not meticulous, but if they decide to hide, it is realistically impossible to catch them.
Moreover, there is nothing scarier than a person who maliciously fabricates someone to kill someone.
“That…, I see. Even if we talk about it among ourselves, it doesn’t mean much…”
“No. “You can block your mouth, but how are you going to block your tweets?”
“… Yes.”
It was the public who threw stones without much thought.
It is still a rumor that is only circulating on Twitter, but as long as there is a clear target in the form of articles, it is bound to spread elsewhere at some point.
In the end, people who initially hated Seo Ji-ah and Hinami will come and make a fuss, accusing them of being witches.
After hearing this, the small townspeople who came to see it would chatter among themselves, then split into two groups, whether it was a witch or not, and fight each other.
Although they were not without sin, they were not witches, so they would be unfairly hung at the stake and pelted with stones.
Of course, the real witch was someone else, and it would soon be revealed who that was, but even that wasn’t that important.
Since they are already excited and throwing rocks, there will be a lot of people who think they are witches.
“Ah, but I’m just asking… Here…, The person driving is the boss… ?”
“Would you believe me if I said no?”
“…”
“I won’t bother answering, so think about it yourself.”
“… Yes.”
Our part-timer, who immediately made eye contact and started talking, didn’t even believe me at all when I told him I went on a trip to Jeju Island.
It is arrogant to think that you can persuade so many people.
Rumors that have already started to spread cannot be stopped.
All I can do is hope that more provocative rumors will spread and cover it up.
But I couldn’t even do that with my own hands.
All the provocative rumors I knew about were their stories.
To protect them, I couldn’t sell them.
I couldn’t do anything except contact them to avoid making an extreme choice.
Individuals were truly powerless compared to the public.
… So much so that my teeth grind together.
**
I received a call from Seoyoung, who disappeared.
It’s so unfair.
She definitely thought it was a cigarette and said she didn’t even remember it because she smoked it while drunk.
I didn’t know it would turn out like this.
She wants to kill that bastard.
She criticized the man she was so proud of with all kinds of harsh words, and vented her resentment towards me, whom she was not even close with.
However, no matter how much her senior and older sister cried and pounded her chest, she strangely did not seem pitiful at all.
… Now, thanks to your name not appearing, I am being unfairly criticized.
If you are really confident, please reveal it now.
You can just post on Instagram that it’s so unfair.
Why do I have to get caught up in these stupid rumors?
-… Then I’ll hang up. Thanks for listening, Jiaya…
“Yes, sister.”
Of course, the harsh words were only thought in her head, and she did not say them out loud.
I also understood why she couldn’t do that.
The moment his identity is revealed, he is declared dead as an idol.
It’s not something she can decide on her own, and it’s not something she can stop on her own.
Even if she can get away with smoking weed while drunk, if her boyfriend gave her drugs, she can’t get away with it as an idol, regardless of whether it’s unfair or not.
Unless you’re an idiot, all adults know this.
What do men and women have to do with drinking and taking drugs?
In fact, she doesn’t even have to go to the extent of medicine.
I don’t even need alcohol.
This is obvious even if you only share the same bed.
“Haha…”
As soon as the phone hung up, I burst into laughter.
I really never imagined that she would cause such an accident.
Sometimes she gives Hinami a favor, and she pretends to be a professional woman who cares about work and love at the same time.
In the end, the result is this mess.
It’s not the early days of activity, nor is it a group where a member can be cut off with scissors.
It was over in one day.
The achievement I achieved by giving up my childhood memories.
It completely collapsed.
“… Fuck.”
I don’t tend to swear crudely, but today I couldn’t stand it.
… It’s so vain.
No matter what I do from now on, the only thing I will hear is that my group is a drug group.
When I thought about it like that, the days when Hinami gave me a headache felt funny.
What’s the big deal about meeting a guy?
If you think about it, you guys have been meeting a lot of people for a long time.
Actually, he’s pretty clean.
Because I only meet one person.
I thought it was so funny that an idiot would give pure love to a man who had a girlfriend, so I searched his name and found that he had been falsely accused of various things.
Although Hinami has smoked her electronic cigarette, I have never touched her drugs.
Although she has done lewd things with men, she has never dated a woman.
He may have kissed me, but we are definitely not dating.
Seeing the mix of anti-fans who hate us and strangely twisted fans spreading baseless rumors made me feel misanthropic.
… If I tell those idiots the truth, they will keep their mouths shut.
Ha, that can’t be possible.
If I told them everything Miju knew, there would be 90% of them who would curse and ask what they were doing with their sister’s boyfriend.
Seoyoung will be criticized like her sister Seoyoung.
Hinami will be criticized like Hinami.
On stage, she was cute and teased her fans, and on the bed, she asked if she was fawning over a man.
“…”
As she kept thinking about bad things, her head started hurting, so she threw away her phone and fell on the bed.
… Anyway, what does our company do?
The artist is being harmed by baseless rumors.
However, he was suspiciously silent, and I couldn’t figure out what he was doing.
Could it be that you’re doing this because you think it won’t end with just one sister?
Well, someone brought in what she smoked, so it must have ended up in her hands.
When I bit her tail and went up, it wasn’t strange to see a few high-ranking people mixed in.
It won’t be covered up, but it’s worth trying to cover it up.
So, will I be ruined overnight because of those bastards?
Of course, the brand ‘Seo Ji-ah’ itself has no flaws, so no matter how it survives alone…
… It’s so unfair.
If nothing else, it’s not my fault.
It’s my fault…
“… Ah.”
… There is nothing wrong with that person who contacted me at the right time.
It would be better if I made a mistake.
If I chose to fall into the abyss, wouldn’t I feel relieved?
Raising my middle finger at the assholes.
After swearing as much as you can.
… At least it won’t be unfair.
