This was something new for Zein.
He never thought that a simple night run would turn into this. He was surprised enough that people recognized him outside, and seemed to be excited at the prospect of seeing him in the flesh.
But having paparazzi took pictures of him to be used as news...it dawned on him that he was now considered a public figure.
It could be said that this was his fault too. Disregarding his fame, he showed up in a civilian area, garnering attention. There were a lot of pictures of him in the convenience store going up on social media through those civilians. And the circulating pictures gave clues to news hunters.
Perhaps one of them got lucky and found Zein and Askan during the mere few minutes of them talking to each other.
Anyway, he couldn't really blame anyone now, and had to quell the news himself.
