"They aren't going to be happy about this."

"..."

"Not one bit."

All of FT Island got the day off to do whatever they pleased, except for Seunghyun as punishment for being negligent to his schedules. While Seunghyun unhappily trudged off to the practice room bright and early with Yoonho, his manager, the rest of his band mates slept in.

Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, Jaejin stretched his arms with a yawn as he walked out of his bedroom late that morning. He noticed Jonghun sitting with a coffee in one hand and a notepad in his lap, tapping his pen to some unheard rhythm.

"Morning hyung," Jaejin called out, but then realized that Jonghun had his earphones on.

Scouring through the fridge, Jaejin didn't find anything that appealed to his morning appetite. 'Maybe just some toast...' he thought.

Glancing out the window, he noticed some fans waiting down by the entrance to their dorm. "Hm, did they know we have the day off?" he asked out loud to himself. Shrugging off the observation, he noticed Minhwan sitting bundled up in a blanket with his computer, sleepily browsing through web pages. Hongki had also just woken up.

"Yah, are you playing computer games again?" Jaejin teased.

Minhwan glanced over his shoulder guiltily, quickly closing one of the windows he had open. "No..."

Hongki laughed. "You're a terrible liar," he said as he walked by, but then backtracked as he looked at Minhwan's screen. "Wait a second, go back," he said, and Minhwan returned to the Naver search page. "Hey, FT Island is on the most popular search topics," he pointed out happily.

"Oh yeah, we are!" Minhwan grinned, but then noticed another topic on the list. "Hey, Seunghyun is on here, too."

"Really? Heh, and I thought Hongki was the most popular," Jaejin taunted, and Hongki just shrugged.

"OMO," Minhwan exclaimed, and everyone looked over to see him staring at his computer screen with wide eyes. "Guys, you need to see this."

Gathering around, they all peered at what was on the screen. Though the quality wasn't very good, a picture was displayed as the cut for an article, and they could clearly make out two very familiar figures from the paparazzi shot: Seunghyun and Natalie. The large, bolded headline read, FT Island Song Seunghyun Dating Foreigner?

"What the hell is this?" Jonghun stared in disbelief.

In the first picture, they recognized the background. It was the basketball court that FT Island frequented, and Natalie and Seunghyun had been photographed alone there. The article mentioned an unidentified girl from America, as well as many inaccurate theories on how the two could have met. As Minhwan scrolled down, he gasped at the second picture, "I knew he kissed her!"

The second picture was taken in the park only a day previous, when Seunghyun had confessed.

"Isn't this just from yesterday?" Jaejin asked, astonished, "How did it get leaked already?"

Hongki shook his head, "I knew this would happen. Leave it to netizens to find out everything."

Order and reason began to dissolve as FT Island set into a panic. "What do we do now?" Minhwan asked worriedly.

"Does Yoonho-hyung know about this yet?"

"I'm sure FNC will have to release a statement..."

"What about Seunghyun?"

"Guys, guys! Calm down," Jonghun intervened, grabbing the laptop away from them. "I'm sure this will all be dealt with somehow. We'll ask our manager what to do, and I'll tell Seunghyun too. Don't just assume the worst right away."

Minhwan and Jaejin nodded determinedly, but Hongki just glanced between them. Jaejin took
