"Just hand me the phone, or I'll fire you in instant."
Azren still froze in his spot when he heard the cold order. Of course, the order didn't come from Felice, but it came from the young boy who was sitting next to him.
Even if Michy was acting like a tame rabbit just now, at the end of the day, the young idol would return to his true self that resembled a furious tiger. Moreover, Azren unconsciously uttered the thing that made him shocked, and Michy should be able to get what his words meant.
His phone was still pressed on his right ear, and he stiffly turned to the young boy. He could see how Michy glare at him dangerously.
"Michy is there with you, right? Let me talk with him, Azren."
It wasn't only Michy who gave him an order, but Felice on the other end of the phone gave him the same order as well.
Felice was known for her calm demeanor, and she also had a soft and gentle heart. Now when the female manager gave him an order in such a cold tone, Azren knew that he couldn't say 'no' to the order.
Despite being hesitant, Azren finally pulled his phone away from his ear before handing it to the young idol. Michy glared at him before accepting the phone and bringing it to his ear. The blonde could only observe from the side.
"What's going viral now, Fel? I haven't checked my phone yet," Michy hurriedly questioned his manager as he drew his gaze away from his assistant.
The young idol could hear his manager sigh heavily. "Something happened on the filming site, right?" She questioned the idol instead of answering the question.
Indeed. Michy had not told Felice about the incident yet. It wasn't like he wanted to hide it from his manager, but he just didn't have time to do that. Now when Felice had found out, he couldn't avoid the question.
"Yes," the idol answered weakly. "One of the audiences suddenly slandered me with some questions. Azren tried to catch him, but that man was too fast."
Hearing his name being mentioned, Azren's face displayed a guilty expression again.
"We can talk about that man later, but now we have to discuss something more urgent," Felice responded. "Someone on the filming set recorded what happened there, and the recording is viral on the internet now. That's why I know about the incident even if you didn't tell me anything."
Michy's body grew tenser upon hearing Felice's reply. He was confused because Felice suddenly called Azren, but now his curiosity had been answered. Felice knew about the incident because it was viral on the internet now.
The situation on the filming site earlier was so chaotic, and he didn't pay attention to his surroundings. 'Who recorded the commotion and posted it online?' He wondered in his heart.
"The internet is so chaotic right now, Mich. They are talking about you. They thought that you are... you are gay, Mich."
Michy couldn't even listen to Felice's words properly because his mind was too cloudy. And he even failed to notice Felice's anxious tone when she uttered the words.
The masked man asked about him being gay, and even if it was just a question, it managed to grab the public's attention because homosexuality was not common in the country. Furthermore, Michy was an idol, and anything about him would be a good attraction for the public.
And the masked man also talked about how a man 'kissed' him on the beach, and perhaps the public was talking about that matter now. Even if the masked man did not show the video to the public, that issue surely was an interesting topic the public would talk about.
The whole country was talking about him right now. Not talking about his achievement, but they were talking about an unexpected scandal that happened on the beach.
Who thought that Azren's pure intention of saving him would end up like this? Really. The source of this problem was Michy's lie when he was at the fan signing event, and he regretted his decision to get instant popularity back then.
"Does my uncle..." Michy spoke again in an uncertain tone. "Does my uncle know about it too, Felice?"
His heart was broken when he learned that the public was talking badly about him right now, and he felt even worse when he realized the possibility that his uncle had known about it too.
"To tell you the truth, it's your uncle who called me to let me know about the incident on your filming site that's viral on the internet. He tried to call you, but your phone is dead. That's why I decided to call Azren instead."
Michy almost dropped the phone in his right hand. Even his uncle had known about it, so how could he explain to his uncle later? He had brought disgrace to his uncle.
"Our company is trying to stop the video from spreading even further, but maybe it will take some time. They are also trying to find the culprit who recorded and posted the video and also trying to find the man who slandered you. We are trying to handle this matter, Michy. You don't need to worry about it."
Felice continued speaking, but the blue-eyed idol remained silent.
Azren looked worried when he saw the boy's blank expression, so he touched the idol's left hand that wasn't holding the phone. The warm touch caused Michy to wince in surprise.
"Are you okay, Michy?" The blonde questioned the idol in a worried tone.
The pair of blue eyes shifted toward him and stared at him deeply. They didn't say anything, but it looked like they were communicating through their eyes connection.
"It's okay, Michy. I'm here with you, and Felice is also here with you. We will help you to explain the situation to your uncle later. Everything will be fine, so you don't need to worry."
Michy didn't even tell him what Felice just said on the phone, but he seemed to be knowing what was happening to the idol. Michy was worried about his uncle, and the expression on his face was too obvious.
"Why did Azren sound so worried, Michy? What happened? Are you guys hiding something from me?" Felice's voice was heard again from the phone's speaker.
The pink-haired manager didn't know that Michy was lying to his fans in his last fan signing event. The manager only knew that Michy was bullied by one of his male fans, and she was so angry back then. She even praised Michy for boldly saying the truth on the stage.
The girl didn't know that it was just acting.
"It's a long story, Fel. You probably will get angry at me if you know about it."
Another weak reply came from the idol, and Azren squeezed the idol's hand even tighter.
"Okay, you better tell the details to me and your uncle later. Just come to the office, and we will talk with your uncle. We can take precautions to catch that masked man too," Felice tried to comfort the idol, but the said idol just gripped the phone tighter.
"Do you think my uncle will report the man to the police, Fel?"
Azren could hear Michy speak to the manager, and he once again saw the worried expression on the boy's face.
"I'm not sure about that, Mich," Felice replied. "It's your uncle, and you know his character, right? If you don't want him to report the man to the police, then you probably need to beg him."
Michy didn't respond to the statement that just escaped Felice's lips through the phone.
"But I think you should report the man to the police, Mich. That man needs a lecture so he won't dare to threaten you again in the future," Felice didn't know the real situation, and she could easily suggest the idea to the idol.
"I will head to the office with Azren now, Fel. Please arrange the meeting with my uncle later."
Felice didn't have time to reply because Michy already hung up. The phone call had ended, and he handed the phone to the owner weakly.
Azren accepted the phone and shoved it into his pants pocket, and then he stared at the young idol, who was still ducking his head.
"You want to meet your uncle, right? Let's go," Azren spoke as he got up from the seat.
Azren thought Michy would follow suit right away, but to his dismay, the human was still sitting on the couch. It made him frown again.
"What's wrong, Michy?" He asked the question, but he didn't get a quick response.
He patiently waited for a response, and the next thing he heard was Michy's heavy sigh. Upon sighing, the idol looked up at him. "When we meet my uncle later, you don't need to say a word.. I will be the one who speaks to my uncle."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Just hand me the phone, or I'll fire you in instant."
