Kidnapped Dragons

ing now is to take the video down.

“And then?”

– For now, 190,000 views isn’t that much…

“It’s 210,000 now.”

– Yes.
Even then it’s the same.
A video having 210,000 isn’t that big of an issue.
Tens of thousands of videos are made worldwide that exceed 200k views in a day.
Like how I only just got to know when you, the guardian mentioned it, despite being in the Promotion team.

“…”

– But if the number of views reaches several million, or you have several videos with a similar number of views, that would become a trending topic.
So make sure there aren’t any other uploads.
As long as you delete the uploaded video and delete the channel, it should be good.

After finishing the call with Team Leader Yong, Yu Jitae turned to Bom.

“…”

Bom had already discovered that this was Gyeoul’s mistake.
She told Gyeoul to never make that mistake again.

The problem here was that Kaeul was not aware of the situation.
There was nothing for them to do if Kaeul found out by hearing it from someone else, but she had to be left as is if she was clueless about it.

But the account was linked to Kaeul’s device.
In order to delete the video without alarming her, they had to take her watch.

Although Kaeul was naive, she wasn’t a fool.
She would be suspicious if someone suddenly asked for it.

After reading Yu Jitae’s gaze, Bom nodded her head and turned towards Gyeoul.
She had already talked about it with her.

“Gyeoul.
Operation start.”

Nod nod.

In response, Gyeoul toddled her way forward and headed into Kaeul’s room.

– Nn? My watch? Why?

– …photo

– Photo? You want me to take it for you? I’m good at it.
Hehe.

– …

– Ah, un… here you go… you have to be careful okay?

He could hear their voices from the other side of the door, and soon, Gyeoul ran out in short strides while carrying Kaeul’s watch.

“Thank you, Gyeoul.”

Smile smile.

After receiving the watch from Gyeoul, Yu Jitae entered the video platform website and deleted the video.
He then got rid of the account altogether.
Creating a new account wasn’t difficult so there should be no problems there.

However, this was nothing but a sloppy first-aid.

As a Korean ranker, a worldwide ranker or as a member of the Grand Natural Society, Yu Jitae had been exposed to media throughout until the middle portions of the fourth iteration.
He had a faint idea about how cumbersome media platforms were.

Something that could be trended even slightly, would always raise its head back up like a zombie.

There might be ones antagonising Kaeul and because of that, he needed a hand that was slightly more certain.

The method itself was there.

Media was a monster that always tried to live off of large trending issues like a parasite.
Using that, he could create insurance.

That night, Yu Jitae left the house by himself and looked for Minamoto of the International Hunter Association.
She, who had short-hair like a guy, was leaning onto the sofa of the office sharpening her sword and gazed up at him.

“Why are you here? In the middle of the night without an appointment.”

“Was thinking of maybe giving a video.”

“Tch, how random… what video?”

Yu Jitae opened his display up.
A man angrily shooting a gun continued inside the video.

Minamoto’s eyes shot wide open.

“You took a video of this? In a pressing situation like that?”

She found it absurd and let out an empty laugh.

Next day.

It was a lot faster than what he thought, but Yu Jitae’s prediction had become a reality.

There were people in the world that were displeased from the mere existence of ‘Yu Kaeul’.
They were none other than Wei Yan’s individual fans.

Due to his graceful appearance, an aesthetic style, a gentle and sweet voice as well as his gestures and gaze that shook the hearts of others, Wei Yan had a lot of fans.

He, who put a lot of emphasis on the influence of the media, always communicated with the fans through his personal SNS account.
All of his actions were inflated and described nicely onto the SNS.

Most of them were stories of his success but there were often news of his failure.

– [Wei Yan]: The declaration audition has come to an end.
Unfortunately, we were unable to get a good result but I don’t think Cadet Gong Juhee’s effort and passion were lacking.
I feel completely responsible regarding this and would view this as a mirror to reflect back on my lacking self… ᄂCaptain TT.TT ᄂDon’t be too disappointed T.T It’s not your fault… ᄂThere will be better things soon Q.Q

The fans cried together when Wei Yan appeared sad on his uploads.
Up to here was a normal relationship between a superhuman and the fanbase.

But within them were those who were in the extreme.

[Ah what the fuck… which bitch made our Captain cry?]

[I looked into it.
It’s her.
—- I sent the picture.]

[Ehng? What the hell…]

[Apparently she’s Yu Yeorum’s sister.
Their entire family’s just…]

They were called Community Wei Yan Defence Team, abbreviated as WDT.

That day, their members etched Yu Kaeul’s face clearly into their heads.
Just like every other extreme fanbase, there was no such thing as fair competitions for them.
Things good for Wei Yan and things bad for Wei Yan – that was all that existed in their heads.

After the entrance ceremony and when Yu Kaeul’s declaration had been evaluated to be the best throughout history, they revealed their anger and repeatedly dumped malicious words on the internet. 

However, since the general overview on Yu Kaeul was way too positive back then, their voices had been buried. 

Time passed and soon came Melissia Masquerade.
Wei Yan was known to have died guiltlessly from trying to save the cadets.

The WDT was in a mess.

[Ah…T.T T.T T.T T.T]

[Captain, please always be happy there.]

[I want to follow you, Captain Q.Q]

They were lost in rage and a sense of loss, and posts reminiscing on Wei Yan were being uploaded everyday.
That was when it all happened; it wasn’t a good timing.

[Guys, what is this? The fuck?]

Yu Kaeul’s video appeared as a target.
They, who had already been buried in anger and helplessness, needed a target whom they could oppress and reveal their rage on.

[Hah, what the fuck is this]

[Crazy bitch lol]

In case Yu Kaeul would remove the video, the members of the WDT saved the video. 

And when Yu Kaeul’s video did in fact go down, they began moving.
They reuploaded Kaeul’s video over and over again, and shared links amongst each other to explosively upload malicious comments of hatred.

Turning Yu Kaeul into evil wasn’t difficult.
Yu household and their actions that deviated away from common sense had several things to be faulted with and the decisive fact was that Gong Juhee had quit Lair when the semester started.

– Woah like ffs, Gong Juhee even quit Lair because of her.
Look how thick-skinned she is fr.

– Fuckin’ uploading videos like this like an attention seeker;; why not kys?

The reason for Gong Juhee quitting Lair wasn’t certain but the truth was not important for them.
All they required was hatred that could allow them to spill out more hatred.

Yu Kaeul’s video and Gong Juhee’s name began rising up in the trending topics of various websites.
Soon after that, even the name of the deceased ‘Wei Yan’ was being mentioned by the media.

A massive fire began burning off the topic.
