Chapter 32: The Case of the Missing Fan Mail (Part 2)
"What?! The letter was torn up and thrown in the trash can? And Yoon-ah's bag is also gone?" Han Kkot-nim had just picked up Lee Hong-gi's call when she loudly exclaimed, as for that last sentence about Yoon-ah's bag it was completely unimportant to her...
"I saw two people dressed as high school girls sneaking out of the waiting room? ...... Alright, I know, thanks for telling me, Hongji. Hmm...I'll still treat you to a big meal, but I need to ask another favor..." Han Kekai sighed reluctantly.
Just as Han Kejia finished the phone call, she saw Jiu's curious gaze on her. Han Kejia thought to herself: Do you nine have to stare at me so uniformly and sell cute expressions?...
Helpless Han Kejia had no choice but to explain this matter one by one to all the girls...
。。。。。。
The next morning, the ten girls were gathered around Sunny's laptop, browsing negative information about Girls' Generation.
Yesterday, Han Geng explained to the girls in the car that someone had torn up the letter and taken pictures of it to frame SNSD and ruin their reputation in the entertainment industry, everyone looked a bit panicked and angry.
In such a state, even when arriving at the filming location, they couldn't meet the satisfactory standards of the filming staff. Moreover, being late for about 10 minutes initially, the entire filming crew was very dissatisfied with Girls' Generation's performance. It seems that the possibility of collaborating with them again in the future is slim.
As expected by Han Kejia, the keywords "Girls' Generation tears up fans' letters" have entered the top three search terms, and it's estimated that they will soon rise to the first place.
Not only that, this matter also made headlines in several newspapers at the same time, which made the girls very afraid. Now all kinds of negative comments and scolding voices covered the entire comment area, looking at this scene, both Xuan and Tiffany had the urge to cry.
"What's going on?!" Just as the girls were browsing through these reports, Cui Da Yong walked into Girls' Generation's dormitory with a newspaper in hand and asked the few girls gathered together.
"We don't know either, it seems like we were framed. Yesterday, because we were in a hurry to leave, the fans' letters and bags were left in the waiting room..." Kim Tae-yeon replied, her tone sounding very helpless. After all, with something like this happening, as the leader, she naturally felt more pressure than the other members.
Choi Dae-young's expression turned very serious, making him believe that the letters were definitely not torn up by the girls. Yesterday, when he handed over the letters to the girls, their excited scene of reading the letters was not fake, so who was framing Soo-young? Was it Anti? Choi Dae-young thought anxiously.
The entire upper echelon of SM and the board members are now aware of this matter. Originally, Lee Soo-man had planned to hold a press conference to clarify things, but after discussing it in a meeting, they decided against his proposal and instead allowed the girls to only clear up the issue through variety shows and interviews.
"You all stay home and don't go out, the music show this afternoon will proceed as usual, I'll help you cancel tomorrow's two radio shows so you can rest for a day. The day after tomorrow, we'll start recording a lot of variety shows and interviews. Alright, I'm leaving first." With a sigh, Choi Daeyoung closed the dormitory door, after all, Girls' Generation was his first batch of artists in S.M company, and he also looked very tired at this moment.
Han Kejia's expression wasn't much better at this moment, everything that was happening now was within her expectations, but when she really saw these things happen, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing the girls become silent and sad because of this matter, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
She patted Han Kexia's shoulder, Zheng Xiuyan cast a concerned glance, and when Han Kexia saw it, she felt very moved. At this time, Zheng Xiuyan could still hold back her own heart to care about herself. But at this time, Tiffany was staring blankly on the side, not knowing what she was thinking, Han Kexia saw it too, but didn't want to comfort her, just let her calm down quietly.
"I don't know how long it's been and Huawei still hasn't gotten it together." Han Kejia muttered while continuing to browse online news.
...
At this moment, Lee Hong-ki has just uploaded a photo and an article on his Twitter and fan club, had a sip of brewed coffee, sat down on the sofa and started tuning his instrument again.
This post immediately attracted great attention from the outside world. The photo shows Lee Hong-ki standing in Girls' Generation's waiting room, next to a black trash can containing torn fan letters.
The article below reads: "Yesterday, I attended KBS's Music Bank with Girls' Generation. About five minutes after the show ended, Han Geng called me to help take away fans' letters and Yoona's bag that were left in the waiting room. But when I got there, I found out that Yoona's bag was already gone, only leaving torn letters in the trash can."
It's clear that Lee Hong-ki is helping Girls' Generation clarify the news, and this information has been forwarded by major fans and netizens. In no time, it became a hot search term right after the one about Girls' Generation tearing up fan letters.
After seeing this information, most people started to think about its authenticity. Some people believed what Lee Hong-ki said, after all, FT Island and Girls' Generation are from different companies, they have no vested interest in helping Girls' Generation get away with the crime. Of course, if Lee Hong-ki and a certain member of Girls' Generation "have something going on", that's a different story... but very few people would think that way...
Those Anti fans of SNSD, however, consistently claimed that Lee Hong Ki was covering up for the girls, and that the photo was taken long after the incident occurred when they returned to the scene, and therefore the photo cannot explain anything.
Some people chose to believe in Girls' Generation, some continued to curse, but half of the people were skeptical and indifferent. However, compared to the past, this result is already much better, and Han Kejia's heart also felt a little comforted.
It was about four or five days later that Han Kejia fulfilled her promise, bringing Jessica, Tiffany, Sunny, Yuri and Sooyoung, a group of six people who happened to have no schedule, to Su's aunt's barbecue restaurant to invite FT.isnd to come and eat the so-called big meal.
Still fully armed, the six of them waited at the entrance of the barbecue shop for a while before they saw five boys with similar attire walking towards them. Needless to say, it was definitely the members of FT.isnd. However, there was also a high school student dressed boy following beside them, and Han Kejia and several girls looked very puzzled after seeing him.
And that boy had just walked to the door and saw the six members of Girls' Generation, then he was super shy with a red face and hid behind Lee Hong-ki. What's going on?
According to Lee Hong-ki, he found out that he was a fan of Girls' Generation and at the time, it was him who saw two high school girl-like girls sneaking out of the waiting room and the girls burst into laughter and chatted with him for a couple of sentences.
Under Su's lead, they entered the arranged private room. The girls finally dropped their disguises, and FT.isnd's people did the same. However, when the boy saw the girls' faces, he became even more shy, but his eyes would occasionally glance at the girls' faces, and when Han Kejia and others looked over, he quickly lowered his head, which made Kejia find it very amusing.
"Hongji, this matter really thanks to you, otherwise who knows what even bigger things would have happened." Han Kekai put a piece of beef on the grill and said to Li Hongji.
Li Hongji also smiled and replied, "We're all friends, it's just a small matter, you're still treating us to a big meal, aren't you?" The girls laughed slightly but didn't say anything, the atmosphere was slightly awkward. After all, this was FT Island's first private meeting with Girls' Generation today, and only Han Kyeong-jae and Li Hongji occasionally exchanged a few words.
"Ah, this high school student's name is Han Jun-ho, and he really was your childhood friend." Lee Hong-ki saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he started introducing Han Jun-ho.
Hwang Jun-ho saw Lee Hong-ki introduce the six girls and was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and stuttered "Nice to meet you all... my name is Hwang Jun-ho..."
When the other party called herself Nuna, Han Kekai asked: "What year were you born?"
Han Jun-hao saw Han Ke-jia ask himself and replied: "In '91..."
Han Kejia heard and smiled: "Then you and Xiao Xian are friends of the same year, in that case we really are your Nuona."
Han Junhao nodded and thought to himself that Ke Jiana was indeed as gentle and lovely as he had imagined, but still so adorable.
The time for a meal passed quickly, and the young men and women ate very happily. Because of their similar age, everyone's topics also began to gradually increase, and it can be said that the relationship between the two groups really became much closer after this meal.
Of course, Han Jun-hao can be said to be one of the happiest people tonight, because he saw his favorite idol Girls' Generation. To say that the excitement is comparable to when Han Ke-jia first traveled here and saw Xuan and Yoon-ah for the first time.
The members of FT exchanged phone numbers with each other and took a photo together with Hwang Jun-ho, leaving their signatures behind. The girls returned to the dormitory by the original route.
Up to now, the incident of tearing up fan letters can be considered as a thing of the past in some sense. However, Han Ke Jia is still worried that the black ocean from the 2008 Dream Concert might return once again.
Recently, there have been more and more rumors online that are really like those from past lives...
