Chapter 55: Blind Judgment
Yoko Apasra Lertprasert has never had any past images revealed. Even her past, except for the movies or commercials she has acted in, has no other images. Since the day she became famous nationwide and spread to other countries thanks to the TV series Girl Love Journey, people's recognition of Yoko has reached a very high level, and there is even a group of fans who love her for the sweet innocence she brings.
A tall tree catches the wind, but a tall place cannot withstand the cold. As Yoko became more and more famous, her past was also analyzed and dug up countless times by jealous haters. But no one could investigate or no one dared to speak the truth. Even Yoko's old friends when she was studying here never talked about her past.
Journey is a lesbian movie. But the female lead's sexual orientation is ambiguous and not clearly disclosed, causing some negative people to accuse Yoko of bad concepts such as heat-seeking or pretending to be gay to seek fame. The voices of opposition are loud, they are just waiting for evidence to appear so they can attack and tear her apart.
Yoko Apasra's personal opinion may be that acting is acting and her private life is her private life. She doesn't make her private life public because she feels it's unnecessary. But for a group of negative people, Yoko's actions are hiding, lying, pretending, pretending to be gay to attract fans, all the bad words are for her.
And today, the day they've been waiting for that evidence to appear has arrived.
Pictures of Yoko and her ex-boyfriend were posted all over the internet from many different fake accounts. The pictures were not of a bed scene or anything, but of a very private hug and kiss that clearly showed both of their faces.
The online community exploded. Controversies arose from all sides, with some defending and others criticizing, and thousands of judgmental posts kept multiplying.
Article title Yoko Apasra Lertpresert and boyfriend appear again.
Sitting in the taxi, Faye looked at a series of posts, reading quite a few of the content that was cursing Yoko online and got angry.
Whoever did this was a madman and his ability was terrifying. He was actually able to find images that had been deleted long ago. Even if it was just a photo of Yoko and her boyfriend hugging and kissing a few years ago, you could tell it was old. But that was enough for anti-fans to insult Yoko with the worst words.
Faye couldn't help but admit, she herself saw that image and felt dizzy and jealous, her blood boiling. But most of all, Faye was very worried about Yoko's situation. This past has always been a pain for her, not that she was afraid or wanted to hide it, Yoko couldn't breathe every time she had to remember this past.
Whoever did this had calculated it very carefully. When Yoko was with her friends, when the security around her was at its thinnest, he posted her location online. This attracted her fans first, and then when a group of fans were here, he posted more photos that caused drama. Faye really regretted not being by Yoko's side at that time.
The place being surrounded was a restaurant in the city center. Yoko was sitting with her friends when the crowd rushed in and surrounded her. She only had time to run into a small private room nearby the restaurant and closed the door. Outside, fans, mostly anti-fans, booed and shouted her name, cursing her with horrible words.
But Yoko remembers the most clearly, they said Yoko was pretending to be a lesbian to act in movies, queerbaiting, and said she had a boyfriend but still acted in gay movies.
Yoko was stunned. While her friend was holding the door, Yoko went online to check and immediately saw the images that had haunted her and caused her to be depressed for a long time appearing all over the internet.
That bastard...
That year when Yoko had an accident, she deleted all the old photos. Her ex boyfriend must have saved them. That bastard dared to sell her information.
Yoko is no longer the sensitive and insecure girl at the beginning. Thanks to Faye and their relationship, Yoko has become much stronger and more confident.
Yoko immediately took out her phone, for a second she wondered whether she should tell Faye or not, but she chose to call Nhan and Wanwan first. She was worried that if Faye found out, she would rush here immediately.
Nhan and Wanwan were running towards the place. But maybe because of the different distances, the first person to arrive was Faye Peraya. Through the disguise that really didn't help much, the cap, jacket, mask, glasses and handbag were the same set for Yoko, Faye looked at the restaurant and assessed the situation. The antis and fans had already surrounded her very tightly.
Faye cleverly sneaked behind the building and saw an iron staircase exit to go from the ground floor to the upper floor. Faye slowly sneaked in through this way.
"Everyone please go outside, this is the restaurant's private area." The restaurant manager and staff shouted with difficulty to the crowd surrounding the fourth floor, this was the Yoko floor that was locked down.
"Yoko!! Yoko.."
"Yoko... Come out. There's no need to hide."
"Fake, come out!!"
They, who knew what they were made of, whether they were really fans or not, were shouting with very foul language.
Feeling pressured and confused, and hearing the insults from the people on the other side of the door, Yoko was really angry.
What did I do wrong?
What did I do wrong that they have the right to say that to me?
Nhan texted Yoko, saying that the car was right outside the door. But Yoko didn't need anyone to pick her up right now. She wanted to confront these people directly.
I did nothing wrong, I never hurt anyone.
Eyes red, Yoko opened the door and stepped out.
"Yoko!!"
"She appeared!! Yoko.."
"Yoko, answer me, did you lie about having a boyfriend to act in Journey?"
"You hypocrite, give up making gay movies.."
"Does Faye know about this?"
"Why did you lie to Faye?"
"You used Faye to get famous, right?"
Faced with those questions, Yoko's eyes turned red and her hands clenched.
"I am not that kind of person..."
Suddenly, as if prepared, as soon as Yoko appeared, someone was so excited that she rushed over to slap her. Yoko's friend, who was standing right next to her, was busy blocking another group of people so she didn't have time to react.
Yoko was also being squeezed tightly, seeing that she could only raise her hand to cover her face.
But a dark shadow rushed out, hugged and grabbed the other arm, then pushed that person back out.
Yoko looked up, stunned.
It's her!!
Yoko was originally very good at controlling herself, but when Yoko saw Faye, her eyes immediately became misty and tears fell down.
Faye pushed the other person away, with her height Faye pushed them away and hugged Yoko into her arms. Faye took her hat and put it on Yoko, then together with her friend pushed the other person away and almost hugged Yoko and went down the stairs.
"Faye... Faye there."
"Faye."
"What does Faye think of a fake person like Yoko?"
"Faye, why are you protecting someone like her?"
"Faye, Faye, what do you think about Yoko's past?"
Faye's eyes were cold and very uncomfortable when she heard those words. Both Faye and Yoko were surrounded by the crowd, pressed and pushed to the ground floor. Even so, Faye did not let go of Yoko's hand even once.
As soon as Faye approached the door, she saw Nhan, the bodyguards and staff from Ninestar had appeared and were rushing in.
"Yoko is not lesbian but she is taking advantage of Faye, doesn't Faye find it disgusting?" a girl came closer and shouted loudly.
Faye's steps stopped, her face cold, her eyes behind her glasses seemed to radiate fire as she looked at the girl who had just spoken. Yoko held Faye's hand, signaling her to let it go and continue walking.
But Faye took a step towards the other girl, her arms wrapped around Yoko's neck to hug her close, showing strong possessiveness.
"I don't care about her past..." Faye looked down at the crowd from above, her eyes filled with extreme frost as she glanced at them "... Yoko will always be mine!!"
Nhan and Ninestar's bodyguards rushed in, escorting both Faye and Yoko to the nanny car.
The entire process of this event, although it happened very quickly, was recorded by both fans and anti-fans and immediately spread online. The whole scene from when Faye appeared, the sentence clearly showing her sovereignty to the scene where Faye hugged Yoko and left. This time, something really big happened.
Yoko and Faye were taken straight to the Ninestar main office. From the time she was picked up until now, Faye had never let go of Yoko, even when sitting in the car, she held her in her arms. Yoko also felt wronged and snuggled into Faye's arms, because she really did nothing wrong, today was also her birthday, and because of her, Faye was dragged into this matter.
Yoko's phone suddenly received a text message from a stranger. Yoko frowned at the content.
'Happy birthday. Hope you like your gift today *smiley face icon*'
This message arrived just as the two of them left.
Faye was also looking at Yoko's phone, her brows furrowed. A text message from an unknown number, similar to the time at the amusement park.
'Luckily Faye showed up. Won't be so lucky next time.'
The second message came right after that. Faye angrily grabbed Yoko's phone and called the other number.
"Who are you?" Faye shouted angrily into the phone: "Why are you always targeting Yoko!!"
Faye's answer was a very light breath, but Faye could clearly feel the other end of the line laughing, a silent laugh. Then there was a tapping sound... tapping sound. Faye frowned when she heard that. Then the other end of the line hung up.
Having a very good memory for sounds, Faye immediately recognized the clicking sound on the phone as morse code.
GNF
Good Night Faye
He actually wished her good night...
....
Wanwan and Thomas sat on the chairs in the center of the conference table, looking at Faye and Yoko, both of them had headaches. After the last flycam incident, Nemo's farce was considered invisible, Yoko also agreed to an agreement with Ninestar to sign a contract with the company next year as soon as the contract with Nemo ended. So logically and emotionally, what happened to Yoko, Ninestar immediately jumped in to help deal with it.
It's just that Yoko's past is really too secretive and suspicious.
"You need to tell me the details about this ex-lover." Wanwan requested, this was no time to hide this matter anymore.
"Yoko.." Faye was about to say that Yoko couldn't speak, let her speak. But Yoko grabbed Faye's hand, blinking to reassure her.
It's not like before, I can do it
And Yoko started telling Wanwan and Thomas all about her past. The more they listened, the more Wanwan's eyebrows relaxed. As long as Yoko had never done anything wrong, the past would be easy to resolve.
When they heard that Yoko's father was the one who had dealt with everything before and Yoko's family background, both Wanwan and Thomas were shocked.
"That's easy, you tell your family. Deal with it as soon as possible.." Thomas suggested.
Yoko was staring intently at the conference table, she heard it, but didn't answer and kept her head down.
Wanwan and Thomas saw her like that and looked at Faye. Faye just gently shook her head and said:
"Yoko didn't do anything wrong this time, it's just a matter of the past. Let's still make an official statement first." Faye steered the conversation away from Yoko's family.
Wanwan sighed: "That must be it... As for the matter of you telling the fans that Yoko is yours. That was a very impulsive action, Faye." She didn't forget to remind him.
Faye snorted: "Those people must have someone pulling the strings. How come they keep appearing so coincidentally so many times?"
"But what you said, I think we can steer it in the direction that Faye really doesn't care about Yoko's past. It's all in the past, let public opinion calm down." Thomas suggested.
Faye nodded: "I will tell Nhan to prepare the official content. If it is still too difficult, I will go live and talk to the fans."
"I..." Yoko wanted to apologize but couldn't say it clearly. She sighed.
"Yoko, go home and rest. Don't go online. It's like there's a war going on online right now... you shouldn't look at it." Wanwan advised.
This time the artist did not have time to cause trouble but was completely affected by past events. It really made everyone uncomfortable.
Even so, Yoko and Faye still lingered a little longer, waiting for everyone to finish drafting the company documents before preparing to leave.
This event is really serious, Yoko's image is being smeared by troublemakers, causing a rapid decline. Although there is still a large number of loyal fans who are fighting for Yoko, the number is decreasing because the anti-fans are increasing in number and their harsh words make many people uncomfortable. These anti-fans are composed of passersby, extreme LGBT supporters, and hate actors who act in gay movies but are not in the LGBT community, there are even people who are Faye's own die-hard fans, who do not like Yoko so they throw stones at her...
In the misfortune, there is a bit of luck, Faye's immediate action to express her point of view and rescue her partner tonight was praised and supported by many people. Social networking sites have many voices of both opposition and support on this issue.
Ninestar issued a document that steered the narrative that this was Yoko's past, that Yoko currently had no boyfriend, and continued to emphasize the artist's privacy. All possible ways were deployed to steer public opinion.
That night Faye and Yoko were taken home by the nanny car. But not to Faye's house, but straight to Nam's house. The mysterious people appeared again, Faye felt that tonight she should take refuge at Nam's house first instead of going home.
"Welcome to our humble abode, newlyweds. I have prepared a room for you two upstairs. Feel free to stay, stay safe." Nam happily greeted Faye as usual with a hug, this time Nam hugged both Yoko and Faye, patting their shoulders to comfort them.
Before coming here, Faye had informed Nam about the situation. Nam shook her head in disappointment when she heard the news. She didn't need to read anything to know how terrible the war was online.
Yoko went to take a shower first while Faye and Nam sat on the sofa chatting.
"Even though the Ninestar documents have been released. But this time it's a big deal, I don't think it can be settled." Nam handed Faye a glass of red wine, shook his head and frankly explained the situation.
Faye sighed, having been in this industry for so long. She completely understood how Yoko was at a disadvantage this time. All of Faye's fans, The Journey fans, and even couple fans were blaming her.
Even if this time passes peacefully, Yoko's reputation will be affected.
Faye held her phone, wondering.
"This time we can't handle it like usual. If the opponent makes another move, we will definitely lose."
Nam took a sip of wine and said seriously: "This time he prepared so well, he even dug up Yoko's past. I think you have to find a plan for the worst case scenario."
The two were just chatting. But unexpectedly, one word became a thunderbolt. About two hours after Ninestar and Faye Yoko's text correction was posted, the fans, although still arguing fiercely, had calmed down for a while.
However, someone added fuel to this drama.
A voice recording that sounded very similar to Yoko's voice, the content of her conversation with her ex-boyfriend, was leaked. In that recording, Yoko was the one who said want to break up and the other male voice was holding on.
This time it really was like a wildfire spreading across the prairie, nothing could put it out.
