[Ahof Group Chat:]
Members: Steven, Han, Jeongwoo, Shuabo, Daisuke, Chih En, Juwon, Woongki, JL
JL:
Okay, who did it??
Juwon:
First of all, what?
JL:
WHO TOLD SECURITY I NEEDED A BODYGUARD JUST TO GO TO THE CONVENIENCE STORE?!
Woongki:
…Oh, so it worked?
JL:
SO IT WAS YOU??
Daisuke:
LMAO WAIT—YOU REALLY HAD A BODYGUARD??
JL:
YES. I JUST WANTED A SNACK AND SUDDENLY THERE’S A WHOLE DUDE FOLLOWING ME.
Steven:
Good. Stay safe. 😊
JL:
??? EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU ALL IN ON THIS???
Han:
…No comment.
JL:
HYUNG.
Jeongwoo:
We just worry about you. 🥺
JL:
I WAS GONE FOR 10 MINUTES.
Shuabo:
10 minutes too long. What if someone tried to snatch you??
Chih En:
Or worse—what if a fan spotted you and you couldn’t escape?
Juwon:
Yeah, have you seen how fast they move?
JL:
I CAN RUN. Didn’t you already see how fast I could run before?!
Steven:
Ah, when you ran so fast during the UL holiday special but ended up tripping.
JL:
…
Daisuke:
Pfft…
JL:
YES DAISUKE???
Daisuke:
Sorry hyung…
JL:
I HATE IT HERE.
Steven:
This is for your own good. From now on, JL is not allowed to leave without one of us.
JL:
I AM A GROWN MAN.
Han:
A small, vulnerable one.
JL:
I AM NOT A LOST TODDLER.
Juwon:
Tell that to the time you got lost in the parking lot.
JL:
WHY ARE WE BRINGING THAT UP—
Daisuke:
Didn’t you also almost get left behind at the airport once?
JL:
THAT WAS ONE TIME.
Chih En:
It was three times.
JL:
I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.
Steven:
Alright. Then explain why the last time we let you go out alone, you came back with a cat.
JL:
…That’s unrelated.
Woongki:
NO IT’S NOT. YOU JUST PICKED IT UP AND DECIDED IT WAS YOURS.
Jeongwoo:
I’m still shocked security let you bring it in.
Han:
They probably took one look at JL’s face and gave up.
JL:
YOU’RE ALL JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE THE CAT LIKES ME BEST.
Juwon:
We’re not jealous. We’re concerned.
Steven:
And this is exactly why we’re enforcing the JL Protection Policy.
JL:
WHAT EVEN IS THAT??
Shuabo:
A new rule. JL cannot be outside alone ever again.
Daisuke:
Not even to the bathroom.
JL:
OKAY NOW YOU’RE JUST MESSING WITH ME.
Woongki:
Am I? Or are we just ensuring your safety?
JL:
I’M LEAVING.
Steven:
Not alone, you’re not. 😊
