Chapter 12

"Kai! Pearl's video went viral!" Luhan was shaking a sleeping Kai awake.

"Aiiiiish Hyung, it's too early to get up." he complained.

"We're not kidding, the views are still climbing." Sehun said, helping Luhan in the process of waking up Kai.

"What was so great about it?" he complained again, abandoning the idea of ever going back to sleep. He wondered for the upteenth time why he had to be up so early. "Are any of the other Hyungs up?"

Both nodded in unison.

"All of them. You're the last one up. SangJun got us up when he got a notification that Pearl uploaded a video of us. We've been watching the numbers climb since then." Sehun said.

"It was just us goofing around, I don't get it."

"Just come see the video." Luhan and Sehun pulled him out of bed and into the living room where all the other boys were located.

Kai was still adjusting to the house SM put them in when they started working on their album. It was still too big for his taste. He still didn't understand the whole point of cramming twelve boys into one house. Yeah, Jewelz were at a house together, but it was Aisha's and Diamond usually didn't stay very long since her and Sage didn't get along very well. It wasn't a random house SM stuck them in. Oh well....

The boys were gathered around SangJun's laptop. Kai yawned and made his way over.

"Oh there you are, Kai." SangJun said casually. "Took you long enough to wake up. Now take a look at this!" Kai looked, rubbed his eyes, and looked again in shocked.

"There is no way that that video was uploaded eight hours ago and have more than 3 million views." he said, astounded. "And over 1 million likes! And the comments are still going..."

He read a few of the comments as they continously streamed in.

Oh em gee! Can't wait for their mv!!! They're all so cute!

They all look so happy, and not the fake happy either :D

Awwwe Pearl is so precious and Kai's stuttering just... Feels!

When I saw their aegyo, I died

If they don't go on tour together, I will go crazy with frusteration!

Awe Pearl, your face is gorgeous despite the "punishment" LOL! Why are you so shy???

Haha, you can tell Diamond attacked Lay and Suho with sparkles!!! X'D

The feeeeeeeellllllsssssss......

Awe Ruby and Jade are presh!

Kai chuckled, glad their misfortune skyrocketed their popularity and certainly boosted Jewelz. But then he noticed a couple of ugly comments.

Why do they have such diversity? It's a Kpop group, not a 'lets throw everything in a pot'

Is that Kai's hand on her waist? HELL NO!

Stay away from Kai-Oppa, miss silence 

Stay away from my Luhan, you stupid foreigner

Sign language girl doesn't deserve Kai, sorry not sorry

Ugly as hell makeup jobs, wish I hadn't seen this

The comments troubled him, but he suspected as much. That's what happens when you get popular. Plus their makeup jobs weren't supposed to look nice. His fears of fans disapproving his interest in Aisha came true, that's for sure.

"Okay, let me see the actual video." he said. SangJ
