Online, Averie was being accused of vile stuff. Stans of other celebrities were angry at him—either out of jealousy over his rapid rise or because of his dismissal comments in the past.
People didn't need much to get offended by.
Some of NeRen's unhinged fans were enraged enough to call for his head. They left vitriolic comments under his previous posts.
Their reason behind it was simple. The NeRen girls supported Averie in all this, condemning the articles for their lack of clarity.
"See, Averie!" Hyerin pushed her phone in his face. "NeRen is different, just like I always say. They are defending you. See!"
"Get out of my face, Rin."
Anyone on the internet who wanted to vent had their target. Averie had become that one kid in school who got bullied even by the nerds.
Anyone who could put two words together dunked on him for fun.
It was like a festival of profanities.
Monitoring the situation, Hyerin made a suggestion.
"We should prepare a response."
