Hana's gone. To drag her cousin over.

Hyukjae quickly checks on his husband. Donghae's masked. But he's clearly pissed. Hyukjae his back.

"Don't say or do anything stupid now. We just say hello and continue shopping."

Donghae frowns. Probably pouts, too.

"Babe," Hyukjae says. Quietly. Hana's steps get closer. "Remember, he hasn't done anything wrong."

"As if."

Donghae glances over. Hana's arrived. She's still beaming happily. Hyukjae's student... isn't. Jaymin bites his lip. Seems awkward. His eyes move over them. Drop to the floor. He nods his head. Mutters.

"Good afternoon..."

Hana swings his arm. Looks up at them all.

"Hello, Jaymin," Hyukjae says.

"I saw you taking pictures of us the other day," Donghae suddenly says. "Why? And why did you join Hyukjae's class, and why didn't you ever tell him that you're Hana's cousin?"

"Hae..." Hyukjae grips the back of his shirt.

The boy's puzzled. "Why... would I need to do that?"

"What? But you felt the need to tell him that you hate me? And I know you joined after all the recent articles about him--"

"Hae," Hyukjae says again. Takes his hand. "Many joined because of that, it's expected--"

"Jayminnee told me Mr. Lee was at a dance school! He read about it online!"

Hyukjae smiles kindly at Hana. Squeezes Donghae's hand. Shoppers keep looking at them. Hyukjae regrets his outfit. His hair.

"Th-that's good," Hyukjae says. "Anyone who wants to learn dance is welcome, so I'm happy to have Hana's cousin too."

"See!" Hana whispers up at Jaymin. Grins. Then turns back to Hyukjae. "Mr. Lee, uncle always argues with my dad so we only went to visit Jayminnie sometimes but now my uncle and daddy are working together so I see them a lot!"

Jaymin glares down at Hana. "Why do you talk so much?"

"I don't!" Hana says.

"It's okay," Hyukjae begins. Reaches over to pat her head. "It must be nice to see your cousin now--Hae."

Donghae's stepped forward. "Do you often join people's classes just to tell them you're a hater?"

"Donghae." Hyukjae tugs him. Back from Jaymin. Takes his husband's arm tightly. "I'm sorry, Jaymin, it was nice seeing you both, we need to get going now--"

"No!" Hana's skipped up to Donghae. Her big eyes are imploring. Her pigtails swish. "Mr. Donghae! Jayminnie's not a hater anymore! He's your fan!"

"God, Hana, stop--"

"He was a fan! Then he was Mr. Lee's hater! But now he's not! Now he doesn't say bad things about Mr. Lee, only--"

Jaymin places a hand on . Pulls her back to himself. He's clearly uncomfortable. Can't meet their eyes.

"Only what?" Donghae's tone's still aggressive. Muscles are tight under his clothes. "And what did you use to say about Hyukjae, huh? Why did you think you could say anything about him when you didn't even know him? Do you have any idea what he went through because of people like you?"

"Donghae," Hyukjae tries again. Softly. Brings an around him. To calm him down. They're in public. Near the ice cream coolers. He can't ing do this. "It's fine

Chapter 69: 🥺🥺 this is why ppl should take time to think and be mindful of other ppl's feelings before throwing out words or doing things. Because once words are spoken and actions were done, it'll be very hard to take them back and undo the damage you've caused.
I know Jaemin wants to correct his mistakes, but the damage has been done. And it's not that easy to forgive because they were hurt emotionally and even lost their jobs 🥺

I hope fans will know this and reflect on themselves. Our idols are humans too. They can get hurt with our words and actions. If we really love and support them, respect them and their decisions, because no amount of money you spent on them can make you own them. They do not owe you anything either.

Chapter 69: Ok somehow it's cute how naive Jaymin is. Thinking that he can make things right when he is now supporting his favorite idol with their real life partner. But I also can understand Donghae's frustration and anger. The damage was done in the past and unfortunately it's hard to make the community forget. It's not like in a fairytale where a fairy godmother appears, swinging her wand and everything is fine again. I think kids like Jaymin need to understand that. But I'm glad he's trying and regards his former opinion about the whole situation. Unfortunately he's only one in a million of so many haters. I can feel that Hae has a hard time to trust that kid now, but Hyukkie is trying to give him another chance. Let's see where this will lead them to. Thank you for another new bonus ❤️

Chapter 69: Hae can't just easily forget how those nasty comments ha affected them especially hyuk. The last part kinda hurts because yes, they accepted what happened in the past but thinking all of those just hurts.
-
Fortunately these two were strong to go through all of these. Now that they've finally moved on from it comes a reminder of those moments. But I guess Jaymin really had changed; the fact that he wanted to correct his wrongs.

We really have to careful w the words we say because we may forget them in the long run but for those affected they will always remember it.

Thank you for the bonus again, authornim! ^^

Chapter 69: He's right. At this point there's no going back to before, even if there was a big shift in fans' attitudes and they started treating them, or idols in general, better. It doesn't erase what they've been through, and Donghae obviously doesn't want to fight to return to that world. At least not now. Seems he'd rather just move on, and no amount of positive, supportive articles or any other press will change that.

If he's not interested in returning to the spotlight and all the hardships that would mean for him and Hyuk, it's almost better to ignore any of those gossipy editorials, good or bad. It's basically irrelevant what people think or say now. Let what happened be a lesson to these enlightened fans, so that they educate other fans to not do the same again and make other idols leave the industry unfairly. But everyone just needs to move on, and let them live their lives happily and how they want now.

Chapter 69: I really like how you're having Donghae be just plain angry. I can't blame him. And expecting celebrities to always take it with a smile when fans mistreat them is absurd, but somehow we do expect that.

Chapter 69: I really feel Donghae's hurt for what they had to go through especially Hyukjae. If only these fans respected them as real persons with feelings.
Thank you so much for another bonus chapter.
