Khai grabbed the phone that was on the nightstand. “Whispering once” He said still with eyes half closed. His eyes widened as he looked at the news through the flat object he was now holding. Quickly, he uncovers the blanket that wraps around him and throws it in any place, then meets the members who have gathered in the TV room.
“Where is Emira?” Ask Khai to the five members.
“He was accompanying Bu Tari to buy vegetables in the market. Why?” Ask Dza.
“They just go both?” Ask Khai again.
Pausing the game on his phone, Chan asked, “Ya, why are you panicking so?”
Without saying much, Khai turned on the television and showed him the news he had seen.
“Why can there be news like this?”
Not only Dza, but the four members were similarly shocked.
“We even know what happened, they even make gossip like this”
Chan is infuriated by the news dragging Khai and Emira.
“It seems, this time we need to follow up on the defamatory news SUN” Usul Zal.
Khai clenched his hands, his face flushed since earlier, “I'll catch up with them” He said, then leave the members.
“I follow”
Ez followed Khai to the parking lot.
“They're both emotional, we can't let them go alone. I will also join” said Zal, but the other three members also do not want to stay at home.

The location of the market that is not so far from SUN house and the smooth streets make them arrive quickly.
“It's too crowded, we split up just” said Khai and the members agreed.
“Me and Khai, Zhi and Chan, Zal and Dza. Do not forget to wear masks, glasses, and hats you” Titah Ez.
“News soon if you've met them” Khai is back.
Once ready, the members immediately get out of the car and split up to find Emira and Bu Tari. But, because the market is too crowded and wide makes it difficult for members to find them.
“Akh..my head is dizzy, it smells so strong!” Khai can't stand the smell of mixed vegetables and fish.
“Are you showing that you're the crown prince?” Syndicator Ez.
“What do you mean?!. It does stink. But.you are sensitive also”
If not covered in masks, Khai's big smile would have been seen by Ez.
Ez clucked while shaking Khai's shoulder, “Come, quickly search!” His word.
Meanwhile, Chan and Zhi forget their goals. They were busy buying the market.
“Why is Brother Khai so excited about coming here?” Chan asked while giving a piece of money to a soy milk seller.
“Now, it seems like there is someone he is afraid of” Zhi replied briefly.
“But...why are we also coming?” Chan asked again.
Laughing, Zhi replied, “Actually, I don't know either. I'm just following you guys”
Chan shook his head while clucking. Then a few seconds later, he gave Zhi soy milk and said, “Enak once, want to try it?”
“Kakak buy how much?” Ask Zhi.
“Only one”
“Quick buy again” Pinta Zhi.
“I don't have any money anymore. That was my last money!” Chan brightly smiled widely.
“Then let's find Dza's sister and Zal's sister. They must have brought money” Zhi said.
“We have to find Emira!” Chan Exclamation.
“Do you also think that brother Khai is weird?!. Emira just buys vegetables, not lost. Why should I search?” Chan asked again.
Nodding his head, Zhi said, “True too. Lately, he has often confused”
"Yes, right. That's brother Dza..” Chan said as he pointed at the other two members. Quickly, they immediately approached the two.
Without further ado, Zhi immediately asked Zal and Dza for money.
“You cannot be trusted if you go together!”
Zal glared at Chan and Zhi. Even so, he still obeyed the wishes of the youngest member.
“Iya, there were two people who bought him” Bright the seller.
“Good. Thank you” Zhi replied lethargicly, while the three members who were beside her laughed instead.
“We can buy it tomorrow” Still with his laugh, Dza patted Zhi's shoulder.
“What is it?. Why are people running there?” Chan's question distracts. They looked at the road together.
“That's them!” Zal exclaimed as he saw Khai and Ez running towards the crowd. He quickly followed the two members and followed Zhi, Chan, and Dza behind him.
They could not see clearly what was happening, because the people gathered were so many. It was just that, Bu Tari's cry was clearly heard in their ears.
“What happened?” Ask Zal.
“Em...Emira..” Bu Tari answered with his sobs.
In a panic, Zhi asked, “Why with Emira?”
Ms. Tari is difficult to explain, but they understand when they see Khai standing in front of Emira and Ez who are behind Emira.
They are protecting Emira from the rampage of fans affected by gossip. In fact, Khai and Ez let his body hit by the throwing of rotten eggs and tomatoes. Seeing that, Zal immediately put up a body. He stood to the right of Emira, then Dza to the left. The other two members also did not stay silent, Chan stood between Zal and Ez, while Zhi was between Khai and Dza. Like a perfect circle, they protected the frightened Emira.
“Stop throwing!. They are SUN” Said one of the people who realized the six people with sturdy posture were their idols.
Quickly, they stopped throwing. In fact, now they feel guilty for pelting SUN with rotten eggs and tomatoes that smell very pungent. Their goal is to attack Emira because they want to protect SUN, but they are the ones who have hurt SUN.
“Should be, you are not easily affected by gossip” Khai said with a disappointed look.
The people who had attacked so whispered and frightened to see the sharp glares mixed with the disappointment of the SUN members. Even so, the six members could not get angry or blame their fans for it.
Zhi who was hit by the soy milk throw, muttered softly, “It turns out, you guys who bought all soy milk?!. Too bad, you guys threw it away like this”
Khai then helped Emira who had been sitting limp due to fear. Take him to the car, ignoring the people who are now photographing and recording the action along with the five other members.
***SUN House***
“Clean yourself, then rest”
Khai looked at Emira with a face that was difficult to explain. He wanted to be angry, but could not bear to see Emira who was still afraid.
“Ba...baik” Emira replied with a vibrating voice.
The members noticed Emira who was walking with trembling legs. They feel guilty for always making Emira involved in the news, to get an attack like this.
“What really happened?. Why did they attack Emira?!” Zal asked Khai and Ez.
“They believe in the junk news. It seems like there are indeed insiders who deliberately want to attack us, and use Emira as bait” Bright Ez.
“True. If not insiders, where might they know where Emira went” Dza also argued.
“If that is true, we must be vigilant and not be provoked by emotions” Chan said.
Loudly, Khai said, “But he can't continue to get involved like this!. That person will use it even more if we don't act!”
While they were arguing, Mr. Sugara and Mr. Arsel came together.
“What is your important discussion finished?!. Quickly assemble!” Said Mr. Sugara full of emphasis.
The members immediately headed for the meeting room, following the two middle-aged men.
Mr. Sugara gave Khai an article, “Do you want to disband this group?!. Huh?!” Ask.
“All the news that has come up lately is related to you. If you want to stop, don't involve them” said Mr. Sugara while pointing at the five other members.
“Actually, what do you want?!. Why are you being like this?!” Sugara asked again.
Mr. Arsel tried to explain by saying, “Not, have I explained. Emira's clothes are wet because it justifies a faulty water faucet, Khai just helps her. They didn't do anything. The news is excessive”
“But he is an idol. Shouldn't act so recklessly. Things that are not important though, will be important in the eyes of your fans. That's why, I always ask you to be careful” Mr. Sugara sighed heavily, then again said, “I don't want to make you robots that always obey my words. But if you act recklessly, the people around you will also engage”
“I'm sure they understand now, so stop nagging!” Said Mr. Arsel, while Mr. Sugara even glared at him.
“You're right, I'm very careless. Im sorry. I'm really sorry” Khai looked at Mr. Sugara.
“I will solve this problem” Khai said again, then leave the meeting room.
“Where are you going?!. I'm not done yet!” Shouted Mr. Sugara, but Khai did not heed him.
“Fast follow him, do not let him go alone and do strange things again” Mr. Arsel said. Quickly, the five members ran after Khai.
