"You have got to be ing kidding me."

The members turned to their manager with a confused look, briefly stopping their current dance practice.

Sihyun was pinching the bridge of his nose, his eyes screwed shut and he was taking what should have been deep calming breaths but came out as more ragged. In front of him on his makeshift desk was his smart phone, the light glow showing he didn't even bother turning it off.

"What's wrong?" Sara asked.

The manager looked up, his jaw clicking around a bit before words could be uttered. "I need you and Ellie up at PR. Now."

Enchanted could only send each other confused looks, the two eldest following their enraged manager out of the studio and into the elevator. The air was stiff, none of the trio speaking a word. Ellie and Sara shared a few confused looks, but other than that there was no communication.

None of the members had ever been to the PR room before. Most idols feared going there, it never ended pleasantly. It usually means you ed up. Big time.

"Alright, so the media is off a bit, that's good," the woman - shockingly - smiled to herself as she began to tap away at the old laptop's keyboard. "Hours ago a small news company released that you girls got some surgery done, we've been trying to put a stop to it but whenever we get something down two more sites post it. By the afternoon the nation will know without a doubt. I'm saying you're natural, so on any shows if you're asked say you had nothing done."

The girls just blinked in response, their minds not fully processing.

"But my eyes are obviously fake," Ellie pointed to the two appendages in question. Sara had to agree with her, it didn't help that makeup and tape amped up
