Eunbyeol's pov

I woke up from my sleep.I didnt have any nightmares,probably because Im too tired even my brain cant do anything.

I clean myself and look at my unpacked things.My other clothes are in the locker at my practice room.So I just decide to put on a sweater and comfy trousers.I wanted to wear the singlet but suddenly I thought,

"Haha,Im not wearing these anymore."I said as I throw it in the bin.

I put on my outfit and style my hair a bit.

Outfit :

Finally a proper female attire.I go to the fridge and foolish me to hope there's any food in there.I should buy some groceries on my way later.

I go out and went to a convenience store to ask if they would take me as a part time.The first convenience store told me that they already full and to my luck,the second one accepted me to work at the store.I'll be starting tomorrow afternoon till evening like the manager told me.

"Thankyou so much."I bowed and went off to buy some groceries at a mart that I always went to before entering Iland.

'Iland..I wonder what are they doing.'

Arriving at the mart,I take a shopping basket to put my groceries in.I go to the instant foods section and buy a packet of spicy ramyeon.It reminds me of how we love Jake hyung's..ramyeon.

I felt a tear rolling down my cheeks.

"Why am I crying?"I laughed as I wipe it away.

I buy salads,a few apples,a bunch of bananas and seedless grapes from the fruits and vegetables section.Then I went to dry goods section and buy a box of cereal,snacks.After that,I go to the drinks section and take some yogurt drinks,milks and konjac jellies.

I pay for all the stuff and thanked the cashier.I walk to my apartment with the groceries I bought.Arriving home,I put the groceries on the table and arrage them to their place.Finishing with restocking,I turn on the tv.Nothing really interest me to watch cause its all bunch of news,so I go to the Youtube app and to my suprise,Mnet channel already posted a few of our performances.I click on the I-land performance and I see everyone faces including mine.

I smile to see how serious I looked and with that hair.It has been a few months since the day Heeseung hyung cut my hair and my hair had been growing ever since.Watching all those performances really fun.I really miss them.

Then,a particular video caught my attention.

"What Happened to Iland's Eunbyeol"

My hands are trembling as I want to clicked the video.It was posted yesterday and it already have more than a million views.

'Iland Eunbyeol had been a girl all this time.She pretended to be a male idol to enter Iland.'

The video had me pale.I thought no one would know about this.Then it shows my pictures before I even become a trainee.

"Where did they get all of these?!"

I read the comments and my heart dropped to see the hatred towards me.

'She's such a slut to get close to our boys.'

'She's not even talented.I suppose she did something to get it there.'

'Ew she's really hideous.'

'I felt sorry to the her fans,they must be really dissapointed that it was a she,and not he.'

'So lucky to be her,to get surrounded by our boys,but yet so desperate.'

Tears are already filling my eyes and I cant hold it anymore.In my life,I never receive that much hate.My parents hate me,my friends hate me now even the netizens hate me.I should stop trying to debut now.Its kinda hopeless.

I kept scrolling through the comments full of hate then I saw one comment.

'She must had her own reason to do that'

Then another user replied.

'Yeah we shouldnt judge her,we're never experienced what she had.'

"Well atleast there still two people who defends me."I said.

I went to Google and search about me.Its already announced that I'll be leaving the show due to personal reasons.But there are lots of assumptions still going on and they demand an answer from the producers.

"People nowdays are scary."

I shut my laptop off after searching about myself.I went to the kitchen and cooked myself a ramyeon.Eating can relieve some of my stress.

Then the doorbell rang.I looked through the hole and it was Mr Ko.

"I woner what is he doing here"

I opened the door and he immediately slapped me in the face.

"YOU IMBECILE!LOOK WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!The producers are asking me to explained about you!"He shouted.

"Just tell them you told me to joined it."I said.

"Oh you think Im gonna risk my job for you?Oh no no no.You're gonna come with me that day and you're going to tell them that you are so desperate to debut and you force me to apply you there."

"Why do I need to lie?"I rolled my eyes.

"Because you dont have any other choice."He laughed.

I try to fight back but he's right.I cant even tell the truth because there is no proof that he told me to join there.Plus he's a well respected person and of course people will believe him rather me.

"Fine,when will it be?"

"During the weekends.And take this phone and use it for a while.Its hard to get it contact with you."He said handing over a phone.

"You can call me anytime you want okay?"He said with his creepy smile.

I just nodded and shut the door.

Time Skip

Its already morning and there's a few hours before work.I cleaned myself and have breakfast.I ate the cereal I bought with milk while checking my new phone.Its not really new,probably his previous phone I guess.I use the bus to get to my working place.

The previous worker is getting ready to leave.

"Hi.You're the new worker right?"She asked.

"Yeah,Im Eunbyeol.What can I call you?"I asked.

"Im Sunyoung,but you can call me Sunny."She said.She hand me the work clothes and told me all the things I need to know before she leave.

"Thanks unnie for helping me."I said.

"Its no big deal.Its nice to meet you."She said and she went out.

I start my first shift that day.
