Chapter 124 Who? (Edited)
After the small rift that happened last night because of the public opinion manipulation stunt that the other entertainment company employed, the whole internet was thrown in a momentary buzz and solely targeted Hera.
Leo and the other male leads were baffled by the sudden targeting of Hera, especially since the issue appeared to stem from a simple disagreement within the show. Despite their investigations yielding no evidence on their end, Leo suspected that someone behind the scenes was manipulating events to target Hera.
This is also the reason why Leo had to use Hera’s fanbase to investigate and act, it is so he won’t alert whoever is behind it and he was sure that the others also did their own investigation but found nothing so they thought that Leo had a clue and wanted to join the group he had created for Hera.
He wasn’t certain whether this person was solely after Hera’s reputation or had other motives. Nevertheless, the issue was resolved by midnight, allowing them to sleep soundly afterward. Despite being a bit chaotic, last night was still manageable.
Hera, still unaware of the previous night’s events, groggily rose from sleep before the Show’s morning call. Half-asleep, she made her way to the bathroom, clutching her clothes in one hand and toiletries in the other. Unnoticed by Hera, Xavier emerged from his room simultaneously, his gaze following her as she headed downstairs to the bathroom with half-closed eyes.
Silently, Xavier trailed Hera to the bathroom, ensuring her safety along the way. The sight was reminiscent of a child being watched over by a caring mother. Viewers watched with amusement as Xavier subtly adjusted the placement of furniture, all the while keeping a close eye on Hera to prevent her from bumping into anything. Despite his limited visibility, he remained vigilant, determined to safeguard her from any potential hazards.
After ensuring Hera safely reached the bathroom, Xavier hurried back to his room to gather his own toiletries and a change of clothes. Once ready, he returned downstairs to wait for Hera to emerge from the bathroom.
He checked carefully to ensure no one else was awake at that hour, wanting to prevent any potential trouble for Hera while he was occupied gathering his things.
As Hera emerged from the bathroom, fully awake, she noticed Xavier leaning against the wall, his disheveled hair and sleepy eyes giving him a cute, endearing appearance. When he realized she had come out, he snapped back to reality, blinking a few times before nodding at her in acknowledgment.
Once he was certain Hera had safely returned to her room, Xavier hurriedly washed up and rushed back to his own room before she emerged. Then, they both headed outside to do some stretching, returning just 30 minutes before the crew sounded the alarm bells.
As everyone sleepily gathered in front of the cabin, Xavier and Hera were already there, looking rejuvenated and ready for the day ahead.
