[AAAAAHHH... How can they lie so blatantly? It's clear that they are just afraid of The Insiders!]
[Can't they just be honest? Just say that you don't have the confidence to go against Dragon Films!]
[Bwahahaha! Like actor, like their platform! Aren's a coward and his platform is too.]
[Well, can you blame them for changing their release date? If I was in their place, I would've done the same.]
[It's not that. We can't just stand them pretending to not be afraid of The Insiders! Atleast accept that you are running away to avoid the clash.]
[But guys, didn't they finish their shooting too fast? They began shooting a month later than The Insiders and they still finished earlier.]
[Hmph! How can you compare that shitty drama with The Insiders? Don't you see the budget, cast, director, and writer of The Insiders? The scale of The Insiders is much larger than Aren's drama.]
[Yeah! Masterpieces like that take time to finish. Not like some shitty dramas that rush their shooting just to avoid clashing with a bigger drama.]
[The Insiders probably didn't even pay them much attention while they were shooting. Meanwhile, AxisPlay must have been hurrying the shoot to finish early to escape the clash.]
[But why not just admit you cannot compete against The Insiders? Pretending to be unfazed when everyone can see you shaking in your pants is shameless. Yes! I'm talking about you, Aren and AxisPlay.]
[Guys, I'm leaving to comment under AxisPlay's post. I want to tell them to accept their defeat. Anyone want to join?]
[Yes, let's go. We are together with you, captain.]
The fans moved to the comment section of the announcement post of AxisPlay. Comments were being posted by the second, making their post trend on PulseX.
[Shameless platform! Apologize and accept your defeat!]
[Stop pretending to be courageous, you cowards!]
[Liars! Fraud platform!]
[Boycott AxisPlay!]
Soon, the wave of comments moved to To Your Heart's official account.
The fans didn't target the cast. They knew that the cast didn't have anything to do with the advancement of the release date.
However, they weren't so generous with Aren.
Aren hadn't posted a single post after his group disbandment.
It was as if his PulseX account was abandoned.
However, that didn't stop the fans from cursing him under the latest post on his profile.
[Coward! Accept that you are afraid of Theon!]
[Theon is better than you!]
[Bwahaha! Theon is debuting with The Insiders. Let's see you be so arrogant now!]
[Nothing can save your trashy drama! Theon will crush you like the bug you are!]
[Finally! I was fed up of seeing people praising his acting. His edits in the past month made my blood boil. It will end once The Insiders release.]
[I can't wait to see cool edits of our Theon!]
[He is playing a spy. I bet he will be the coolest!]
[AAAAAHH. Couldn't The Insiders have advanced its release date instead of Aren's trashy drama? I can't wait to see our Theon in action.]
Due to the Ventage Fans outburst, new hashtags began to trend on PulseX.
#ToYourHeartReleaseChange#
#CowardAxisPlay#
#ArenVsTheon#
Aren's phone was vibrating ceaselessly from curse messages, but by now, he had understood how to ignore them.
Instead, he was reading the messages in the Official LinkChat group of To Your Heart:
Leon, Gisha, and Mikhail sent screenshots of trolling comments under the AxisPlay's announcement post.
Leon:
[They are truly ruthless. Do they just sit on the internet waiting to trash anything related to Aren?]
Gisha:
[Haha, true. They react too fast to anything related to Aren. Just how many haters does he have?]
Mikhail:
[Ventage was the most popular group in the country at one time. Even international fans followed them. I won't be surprised if they are more than a hundred million in number.]
Leon:
[My goodness! Really? Then this reaction seems mild in comparision. I envy and pity you at the same time, Aren.]
Gisha:
[But I think this decision is for the best. Even if our drama managed to hold its own against The Insiders, there would inevitably be damage to its viewership and popularity score if it clashed with The Insiders.]
Mikhail:
[Don't worry. The higher ups know this much. This is why they advanced the release date by a week. If they had postponed it, The Insiders could've followed, but now they can't. It's not like their shooting is finished.]
Leon:
[Hahaha, right.]
Gisha:
[Hey, guys... HBS released an article.]
She also sent a screenshot of the article and its link.
Aren clicked on the link and read the title—
'The Insiders storm scares away To Your Heart! Is this a signal of admitting defeat? Click to find out...'
HBS mainly focused on highlighting The Insiders as a colossal production, mentioning its star-studded cast and crew. For most of the article, they only praised the storyline and cast of The Insiders. Only in the conclusion line, they claimed that To Your Heart wasn't confident in its story and quality, admitting defeat against The Insiders by fleeing from the clash
In under twenty minutes, another article was released by HBS—
'Theon's Debut Drama frightens his fellow Ventage member. Is this the rise of an upcoming superstar?'
The comments under these articles cursed Aren and praised Theon.
[Yes. Theon is our superstar!]
[Theon will win the next year's best newcomer award! This is the perfect start.]
[Bwahaha! Theon is arriving with a perfect debut. Get ready, you other actors!]
[Correct. This is what a debut should be like. Not like someone who appeared only for five minutes at the end of the episode.]
[Everyone... Theon has just posted a new post about Aren!]
The fans immediately went to Theon's profile and saw the post.
[I wanted us to debut together. Why do you keep running away? #Ventage Forever💜]
The comments under it exploded, rising by the second.
[Hahaha, even Theon has a sense of humor!]
[Aren is just a coward. Don't give him any attention, Theon! Focus on your debut!]
[I sometimes feel that Theon really cares for Aren. It's just that Aren is a scoundrel!]
[Yeah. I too feel that Theon is the one most hurt by Ventage's disbandment. He used to support Aren so much when Ventage was together.]
[AAAAAHHHH... I hate him. I hate him so much. He keeps hurting our Theon.]
[Aren, just disappear!]
After an hour, a new announcement shook the internet.
Aren was in the gym at that time, his phone vibrating constantly as messages flooded the LinkChat group of To Your Heart.
Dragon Films had posted an announcement on their official PulseX account.
[The Insiders, scheduled to release in the starting week of spring, will now be advancing its release date by a week. Its new release date is XX/XX/XXXX.]
They had advanced their release date to the same day as To Your Heart.
