"Nightmare?" Jason muttered.

"Yeah, you seem to be having a nightmare. I actually just woke up too and seeing you looked too deep in sleep, I decided to take care of our breakfast first," Zheng Roufeng explained before gesturing to Jason to sit down at the table and eat the breakfast.

Jason who was sitting at the edge of the bed had initially almost fallen down from it when he woke up. But his leg still feels a bit numb after accidentally kicking the bedside.

Jason stared at Zheng Roufeng who had puffy eyes as if he just cried and couldn't help but ask, "Did you cry?"

"I also had a nightmare and it looked too real. You died in a car accident and leave me alone," Kim Doha looked really aggrieved when he said that.

'Did he dream about the plot?'

"So what did you do after that?"

"I found that drunk driver and made him gamble and fight with people that I hired. He died in a brawl."

"Did you fall in love with someone else in the dream?" Jason asked.

"No, I was too focus on getting revenge on Gu Xihuai and I seem to get close to that guy Bai Wehan to get more information about Gu Junling from him but after I finished everything, someone crippled my legs and I thought it was the Gu family so I destroyed them."

Zheng Roufeng started to cry before he continued, "But it turned out it was actually your dad who crippled my legs because I didn't take care of you well enough."

"Ok ok I'm sorry. I'm just asking since I also have the same dream. Those won't happen in this lifetime ok," Jason coaxed Zheng Roufeng who was still crying aggrievedly.

'How the hell my lover became a crybaby in this world? Where is my domineering CEO?'

While they were having a sweet breakfast, Gu Junling on the other hand couldn't help but feel as if he had lost something but he didn't know what it was.

He had a long dream but upon waking up, he couldn't recall what the dream was about. It was all hazy. The only thing he remembered was seeing the older version of Zheng Roufeng and Jason with a pair of sons.

One of them looked exactly like the mini version of Jason but with blonde hair while the other looked like Zheng Roufeng.

"What the hell? Did they even want to shove dog food to my face, in my own dream?" Gu Junling couldn't help but feel how ridiculous it was and decided not to think about it anymore.

Meanwhile in Country M, the country tabloids were busy reporting on explosive news.

<Avalanche: A natural disaster or man made? One suspect had been detained>

<Idol Bai Wehan suspected to be related to a terrorist group>

<Bai Wehan-Attempted murder allegations! What is actually happening?!>

 

The entire country was shocked with the several hot topics mentioning Bai Wehan and people couldn't believe what they saw.

Bai Wehan, who was in the detention center, couldn't help but shout one name.

"Jason! You dare do this to me?! Hahahaha! But you're already dead! Serve you right!"

The international police couldn't understand what he was saying but Country M's police force who just arrived understood everything he said.

They have been informed that Jason's heart did indeed stop beating last night. Fortunately his husband who came to take care of him late at night noticed he wasn't breathing and immediately performed CPR after pushing the emergency call button.

Jason managed to be resurrected but if they were late by even a minute, Jason might really be dead.

"Bai Wehan, you had the right to remain silent based on the constitutional law. But we request you to cooperate obediently. Everything that you said will be recorded as confessions. So please resist talking nonsense," one of the police officers advised him since Bai Wehan looked too young to be imprisoned for those heavy allegations.

Bai Wehan was immediately brought back to Country M. The media was in frenzy and fervently covered the story about him and his fans were too dumbfounded to even say anything.

The airport was flooded with fans, anti-fans and reporters all focused on Bai Wehan who was being escorted by a group of international police.

The outside of RaeStar's office were also flooded with reporters trying to dig any information from the idols about Bai Wehan.

"Boss Kim never told us to hide or anything but we really know nothing," Max, the leader one of the boy group named Espers said in one interview.

Even Luna Kim, the leader of Athena said she knew nothing and they were just told to work as usual.

Kim Raebin on the other hand only said two sentences when asked about Bai Wehan, "He's not with us anymore so we have no knowledge about what he did. Go ask his current media company."

After that, RaeStar acted like nothing happened and continued debuting their new girl group, StellarG. This caused the public to become enraged because RaeStar seemed to have really cut ties and didn't care about Bai Wehan at all.

On the other hand, Bai Wehan's current company, GJ Media also remained silent since even their Director knew nothing about what had happened.

"Director Gu, should we arrange for a press conference?" The secretary asked.

"No, just issue a statement saying that GJ  Media will not interfere with the police  investigation."

However, not even a day passed since the statement was issued, another wave of news broke the media.

[HOT!] Chris from Cronos is a rude nepo baby

[HOT!] Cronos Revan bullying fellow member and staffs

[HOT!] Two RaeStar's Artists were caught on camera during their night rendezvous!

[HOT] Artist J was rumored to have a boyfriend?!

Kim Raebin looked at the hot news being on the top lists and without even reading the articles, he could already guess what  they were about.

"Hey, can he still use the internet in prison?"  Kim Raebin asked his assistant.

"No, it is most probably from his fans who tried to divert the people's attention away from Bai Wehan."

Sigh.

"Call Revan, Ray and Chris here. I want to know what they think about this."

"Yes Boss."

While RaeStar PR Department worked tirelessly, Jason took his time resting and recuperating in Country R. Zheng Roufeng still remained by his side, guarding him as if he might go missing if he left.

"My dear, I think I can already be discharged from the hospital. It feels stuffy staying inside the hospital for too long," Jason knew nothing was wring with his body and he could already go home.

"Well, let's stay for a few more days just to be sure."

"You said the same thing a few days ago."

"......."

"......."

"Cat got your tongue?" Jason wasn't in a rush but he knew he needed to go back to Country M since Bai Wehan still managed to release the scandals just like in the plot even without his system.

It seems Bai Wehan's protagonist halo is still there and his obsessive fans still managed to help him.

"Let's tell your father first and ask him for more bodyguards," Zheng Roufeng finally relented.

The two of them planned to tell Alexander that they were going back to Country M, but that man seemed shocked as if they just told him something unexpected.

"Why so fast?"

Jason: What do you mean fast? I'm a citizen of Country M so of course I need to go back and work.

"Roufeng, do you need me to prepare something? I'm not really sure about your country's culture."

".......No, just give us more bodyguards."

"Dad, we're going back not because we wanted to prepare for our wedding. I need to settle my work there."

"Oh."

'Old man, why do I feel like you're up to something.'

At the end, Alexander decided to tag along because he said he wanted to meet an old friend.

Jason felt Alexander might be up to something but since his dad know how to take care of himself, Jason just let him do whatever he wanted.

Flashes of cameras were everywhere and reporters were surrounding the area waiting for three people to make a statement.

"Revan, is it true that you bully your fellow members and staff?"

"Ray, what is your relationship with your fellow artist Aileen from Athena? Is it true you guys are dating?"

"Chris, what is your comment with the rumor of you being rude to a Barista in StarryCoffee?"

Their voices were mixed together so most of the questions were not clearly heard.

Revan felt a headache while Chris wanted to close his eyes from all the flashes. Ray on the other hand tried to calm down and looked at the script in front of him.

The script was what they all agreed and came out with Kim Raebin after a few hours of meeting.

"Please calm down and ask questions one by one," Revan said and the situation calmed down only slightly but some reporters were still relentless.

It was until a few tall and sturdy bodyguards started to appear and threatened to throw the stubborn and loud reporters out, that was when they started to behave properly.

"Don't you feel afraid we will write that RaeStar is being violent with reporters."

"Write it down and if you get sued later, don't ask why," Revan said bluntly before continuing, "Plus we're broadcasting this press conference live on our social media so the netizens are currently watching so everyone please behave."

After the situations started to become orderly, Manager Song as Cronos's manager started to order the reporters to ask question one by one.

"First of all about my bullying allegation, I never bully anyone. I'm just being a perfectionist. If you still don't believe me, then that's your choice," Revan answered nonchalantly.

He didn't bother much with the script which has more mild and polite words of explanation. The answer is still the same; he didn't and never will bully anyone.

"What about you Chris? Is the video online where you're being rude to a Barista true?"

Chris was silent for a while before he spoke, "That Barista is my highschool friend. He is the owner of that cafe and we're just joking with each other. Don't you ever joke with friends or maybe you don't have friends at all. The video doesn't even have any audio to begin with. I don't know who recorded it but they purposely mute the audio to make it seem like I was arguing with the barista."

A few other questions followed especially about Chris actually being the son of a famous actress.

Chris's mother was indeed an actress and still takes acting offers from time to time but in recent years, she preferred being a trainer in Art & Film Academy while also co-write scripts for movies and dramas. She rarely appears on TV that much anymore.

Their family has always been private and his parents never put Chris's pictures or publicized him so he felt odd why people need to relate him to his mother.

"I'm me and my mother is her own self. I'm a singer and she's an actress. We have different careers. Why do you need to mention my mom's name when you think I'm making trouble? I'm 27 this year, an already full fledged adult, so don't drag any of my family members into this," Chris was obviously irritated.

He never used his mother's name in any way. He competed and trained hard to debut just like other trainees.

Manager Song needed to calm Chris and Revan down after each of their questions since the reporters also started to get heated up.

"So Ray, is it true that you're currently dating Aileen?"

"Yes it's true," Ray answered straightforwardly.

"......."

"Is there any planning for the future?"

"We're preparing to get engaged."

None of the reporters expected that Ray who was always being the most amiable and soft spoken would be this direct when answering their questions.

"Will this affect you and Aileen's career?" Some reporters tried to ask scandalous questions since they knew some fans dislike their idols being in a relationship.

"I'm a person just like all of you. Being an idol is my job but I also have a private life where I have friends, families and also someone that I love to be my lifetime partner. I don't need anyone's permission or validation to be with Aileen. Will that affect mine and Aileen's career? The answer is no. Boss Kim already reassured us we will still get the same amount of promotions if not more and new songs like usual. My relationship is my private life."

"........" Why were these guys being so blunt today?

Some of the reporters were hoping the three of them would slip up and said something that was worth making the hot news but all their answers were just confirming the rumors.

"Last question, it was rumored that the so-called artist J in another viral scandal is actually Jason Jung, one of your group members but Jason is currently not here.  Why is that?"

"Is Jason purposely avoiding the reporters and media?"

"Did RaeStar decide to hide Jason?"

None of them answered, thus manager Song stepped up and said,"That's all for today and thank you for your cooperation."

"Wait, you didn't answer the last question yet."

The live broadcast also ended there and many people speculated what happened to Jason and whether the rumor was true.

Some immediately believed it was true seeing that RaeStar seemed to not want to talk about it at all.

While the netizens were speculating, Revan couldn't help but feel restless.

He couldn't contact Jason for almost a week especially after Bai Wehan was apprehended.

"Is this really ok? I mean, Jason having a boyfriend/husband is true but who exposed this?" Ray was worried since he saw a lot of homophobic comments online.

"Most probably Bai Wehan. Didn't Bai Wehan also go to Siberia so he might have seen Jason and his husband there," Chris replied nonchalantly.

He knew if Boss Kim said let Jason handle it himself, it only meant they had a reason for that and it was better to just let them settle it without interfering.

"What about our mini concert for our fifth anniversary, Revan?" Ray asked.

"It got postponed," Revan answered after a long sigh.

"Well, it isn't canceled so doesn't that look like a good sign," Chris said while shrugging his shoulders.
