"So, I was thinking," Yeji started to say as she slowly sat up and leaned against the headboard before pulling you into her arms, your back against her chest. "I have to do a vlive tonight and you should join me."

You went wide-eyed over her suggestion.

Even though your relationship is public now, you're still a little hesitant about that kind of stuff. You're still a bit shy, still adjusting to the world constantly having its eyes on you and your girlfriend.

You're not used to everyone constantly dishing out their opinions on you, the good and the bad. You're not used to people watching your every move or gathering outside to catch glimpses of you and Yeji when you're out.

It's difficult and you're unsure if you're ready for what she was suggesting.

"I don't know, Yeji."

"Please, baby?" She pleaded as she took your hands into hers, gazing into your eyes as you stared back at her, watching as she brought your knuckles to her lips for a few sweet kisses.

"You know I'll be right by your side the whole time. If you feel too uncomfortable, we'll make up some sort of excuse and you can just sit out of frame with me instead."

You weren't quite sure, still. But it's hard to say no to her, especially when she's looking at you that way; with hopeful and adoring eyes, a hint of a smile as she watched you cave.

"Okay."

She excitedly hugged you but pulled away from you sooner than you wished for when her alarm on her phone sounded.

"It's time to begin it."

You took a deep breath as she set everything up. Soon, it was starting and Yeji was putting on a big smile as she pulled you into her arms as the vlive began.

The fans joined quickly. You watched the number of viewers rise fast and watched Yeji's smile grow as the comments rolled in.

"I have a very special guest with me tonight!" Yeji spoke with utter happiness in her voice, as well as in her eyes that sparkled so beautifully. She kissed your cheek and gave you a squeeze.

She kept you in a secure grip but made sure you could still wriggle out of her arms if you got uncomfortable.

"I figured I'd come and say hello to you all." She spoke and you kept an eye on the comments.

Although they went by awfully fast because there were so many, you felt a flutter in your heart over every comment that caught your eye.

They were so positive, showing your girl so much love as fans showered her with compliments; as she deserves.

However, there was one or two on occasion that wasn't so kind. Yeji never showed that it bothered her, her smile never fell.

You didn't even think she'd seen them and if that was the case, you weren't gonna say a word and risk pointing them out and ruining her happiness.

But it didn't take long for her smile to fade little by little. She seemed to be growing a little uncomfortable, which was odd to you.

You know her better than most people ever will and she's usually a big ray of sunshine, especially when it comes to interacting with fans. Her happiness is always genuine.

So when it fades, when that sadness creeps in, you know it's when people are bringing her down and the negative comments overshadow the positive.

It didn't take long to see why. You saw people in the comment section saying some pretty hurtful things. From how they found her vlive to be boring, to people picking on her looks.

Some people even said she was acting fake by smiling so much, when in reality she was, or had been, just that happy to be able to spend some time with fans.

You could see the sadness in her eyes. She hung her head and picked at the polish on her nails.

Your heart broke as the negative comments just kept rolling in. Although there were positive ones, the negative just caught her eye more.

"If you find it to be that boring, you could just leave." You said and, from the corner of your eye, you watched Yeji lift her head with a small smile. "You didn't have to join in the first place. Your negativity isn't welcomed here, so you should log off."

She chuckled a little and put her hand on your thigh.

"The girls have all been working hard lately. They do a lot for all the fans. Be a little more appreciative, they love you." You spoke, frowning when you noticed a few solo stans coming into the vlive, all seemingly against Yeji. "You can have a bias, that's fine, but you should love all five of the girls equally at the end of the day. I know for a fact that the girls wouldn't appreciate you saying those things about Yeji."

Slowly, the negative comments seemed to slow down a little.

"You should give some love to Yeji right now, I think she could use it." You said as you moved to hug her tightly, giving her a giant squeeze which made her giggle happily.

The sadness that you once saw in her eyes seemed to be completely gone now, filled with happiness instead.

She quickly became showered with love; so much of it that her heart nearly burst. It made her feel so much better, and it made you feel better, too.

Because she was happier now and that's what mattered most to you.

The rest of the vlive went smoothly. The negative comments were completely overshadowed by love for Yeji.

Any time one came in, a bunch would follow, hoping that it'd make Yeji feel better - which it truly did.

"I love you all, but I'm getting a little sleepy and we have a big day ahead tomorrow so I'm gonna go now. I'll see you all very soon. I love you so much, thank you for making me feel better." She smiled and blew a few kisses before turning the vlive off.

Once it was done, she turned to you and stared at you with soft eyes.

"What?" You questioned with a giggle, only for her to lean in and kiss you.

"I just love you." She spoke sweetly against your lips. "Thanks for standing up for me. I don't know what I'd ever do without you."

"I'll always stand up for you, Yeji. You're an amazing girl. You work really hard and you're beautiful, and you're so kind and selfless to the girls and fans. You should be showered with love every minute of every day. It's the very least you deserve." You said as you caressed your cheek.

"You deserve the world, Yeji. But the world doesn't deserve you."

She put her forehead on your shoulder and closed her eyes with a contented sigh, wondering what she'd ever done so right to deserve you.
